Happy birthday, yappyfox!

Well, at least she was a celebrity in my mind.  I've not seen anything about her on my friends list, so I guess it's up to me:  yesterday Mollie Sugden, who played Mrs. Slocombe on the classic Britcom Are You Being Served?, passed away at age 86.

Clicky for Yahoo! obit.

Hole up in the A/C.  I'm such a wuss when it comes to extreme weather, and here in Indiana we have a buttload of it, too.

In the theater?  Oshi-.  Fantasia 2000, I think?

I don't get out much.  *lol*

So he gets to the Pearly Gates, and St. Peter says, "do I know you?"

And Karl whips out his American Express card.  "Don't leave Earth without it!"

The weekend before last, Frank and I went down to Nashville, TN to visit some friends who would like to start a Girth & Mirth club down there.  It was also Pride weekend, and I think I got a touch of heat exhaustion.  It was 96 F in the shade and pea-soup humidity.  We sat there and marinated in our own sweat for about an hour, then about the time I started having trouble staying conscious, we decided to leave.  We went out to dinner and I was absolutely miserable with a pounding headache.  I finally forced some food down and that helped.  I didn't really get rested up again until this past weekend.

Aside from that, I actually had a pretty good time.  There's a cool bunch of guys down there, all of them too experienced with drama to have any patience for it.  I got to hear a couple of musicians talking shop, and once again I was glad I don't do that for a living, even though God knows I'd love to do something I actually enjoy.

This past weekend, we had a G&M party in honor of Rufus W.'s birthday.  It was cool, but I didn't feel much like being social.  I guess I did all right, though.

So there you have it.  I've only been meaning to write this for over a week, and now it's done.  :p

"Ugly."  My brother Gene taught me to say it when my brother Lyle walked in the room, hehehe.

Happy birthday, mightytauren!

OK, first off, rest in peace, Ed, Farrah and Michael.  Interesting combo there, reminds me of one of my mixtapes.

Now then... yesterday in Dollar Tree I saw something I probably should have bought, and may yet buy:

Matching whoopee cushions...

wait for it...

...in the gay pride colors.

frisby81, why do I keep thinking of you?  ;)

Not having to work.

OK, I'm back, caught up on my friends list *whew* and I've accumulated some vids to share.

First of all, I had been looking for this one unsuccessfully for ages until colifox unearthed it.  I could only find the German version, but I knew there was an English one, I'd seen it!  Parental Advisory:  Feline Drug Use.


Then there's this one.  Chester, also a ginger cat, "boxes" with Frank all the time.  < Cowardly Lion > Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuup! < / Cowardly Lion >


Across the pond to Stockport, England, where a man adopted a baby squirrel... or was it the other way around?  Clicky.

And frisby81, this is just for you.  I was originally turned onto this by lionex92, apparently it's from a Belgian kids' show called Big & Betsy:

In a few minutes I will be headed to Nashville, TN, and I won't be back till Monday.  Catch y'all on the flip-flop.

My PENIS!

Just kidding.

Nothing ATM; there used to be this killer restaurant here called the Apple Tree, but it went out of business.

It's time to stop being yourself.
It's time to stop being who you think you are.
It's time to stop thinking about who you are
And just be.

Assuming I've been condemned to death... fugu.  What have I got to lose?

Eric kindly shared his pics of the after-pride party.  Despite appearances, Darrell did not pee his pants.

Oh, and today the first of the orange lilies popped!

One year when I still lived at home, Mom decided to do something different, and not make turkey for Thanksgiving.  Then I won a 20-pounder in a drawing.  *lol*
