quote
best quote of week
I was at a birthday party for my friend Jo-Ann
over the weekend
she just turned the big 5-0
So she starts opening her presents...
She starts with this little box..
Feverishly unwraps it..
She looks at it for a moment - not quite sure
she reads it..
I.... pod... shuf-fle!!
OHHHHHH it's an Ipod Shuffle!
it's an Ipod Shuffle!
**EXCITEMENT ** JOY**GLEE**
look everybody .. I got an ipod shuffle!!!
pause...
DO I need an Ipod to run this?
**priceless

I was wrong
I always thought his name was
"Rosco Peako Train"
not until years later..
I was flicking through the channels
and there was some show about
"obsessed Dukes of Hazzard Fans"
(- I know.. I couldn't believe it either)
They interviewed the guy who played Rosco
and it was then
I realized I had been wrong
all those years

flashback
flashback
circa 1985
I wanted to play the piano
so my parents did the most logical thing..
they went and bought...
wait for it...
wait for it....
this.
yeah..
they bought an ORGAN
They said - "go to practice,
and learn this first - it has a piano sound on it -
it's the same exact thing!!"
*sigh*
So I went to take some lessons at the mall
(because apparently - my childhood just wasn't disturbing enough)
The teachers name was "DOT"
she wore sweaters like Bill Cosby...
had a raspy, chain smoker voice...
and reeked of nicotine and perfume...
She often talked about her BINGO game
from the previous night..
I made you this kick ass visual:
"Dot" would sit behind me at a table
facing the wall
And every lesson she would bring in soup
and every lesson I had to listen to
the soup ritual
1. The Smashing of the Crackers
it was one of those little bags of oyster crackers
and she would smoosh it around in her hand
and it would make that cellophane paper - crinkle sound
it went on... and on... and on...
2. The Cooling of the Soup
FFffffhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooo
FFfffhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooo
FFfffhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
3. Slurp & Consume
Slurp.. chew chew.. Swallow
Slurp.. chew chew.. Swallow
Slurp.. chew chew.. Swallow
and as if this wasn't painful enough....
In between all of this she would bark out orders
"C C C!
G G G!"
"YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PRACTICING
YOUR CHORDS!"
"I can tell ya know"
"whhhhoooooooaaaa! that was off key"
Although I could play a mean rendition of
"deck the halls" and "happy birthday"
my future as a professional organist just wasn't in the cards
I quit

famous people
Brush with Fame
Volume 3
Circa 1991-1992
I met some of the cast of "Lost in Space"
at a Toy Show in Boston
and it was just as cool - as you think it would be
Mark Goddard -"Maj. Don West"
He was cool...
He looked like he just wanted to get the hell
out of there and get a beer
June Lockhart- "Maureen Robinson"
She was blinded by the love of herself. She arrived late...
and made this dramatic entrance it was all quite nauseating
Jonathan Harris - "Dr. Zachary Smith" -
He was great, he made everyone laugh
Regrets: I didn't bring a camera - I was young and foolish

more fun with pen
I made you a visual
He was practically drooling on himself
I had a coupon for gum..
He held it about a half inch from his face
and stared at it for a while with a baffled look on his face
like I had just given him a sanskrit tablet to decipher...
He was probably up all night playing grand theft auto
and eating hot pockets
so he was too tired to stay focused
it's understandable...

mondays
This morning
I'm getting my coffee
and I give the cashier my credit card
and she swiped it
then she sneezed on her hand
with my card still in her hand
then she gave me my card back
and said " 'scuse me.."
needless to say
I scrubbed it down with purell
to remove any bio-hazard remnants
A great way to start my Monday off.
I made you a visual
So accurate...
It's like you were right there with me!!

a conversation
a conversation
overheard at work today
between to of my co-worker / pals
Ann & Jo-Ann
Ann: Heading towards the door - on her way out for the day...
Jo-Ann: (with great urgency in her voice) "ANN!! ANN!!
Wait! Don't Leave!!!!! I need to ask you something before you leave -
how do you want me to put the toilet paper on the holder??
I don't want to get it wrong again..."
Ann: runs over to the bathroom door " like this... over.. not under Over
under is just wrong because when you grab it - the slack goes on the floor..
on the dirty floor.. that's no good"
Jo-Ann: "OKay some people like it the other way, I wasn't sure
but I'll do it over - as long as it's all right with you"
Ann: "that's fine"
Me: Thinking to myself: We can all breathe easy now that this toilet
paper dilemma has been averted
the end

he's dying
I'm no Patrick Swayze fan...
he's a a dancing, singing sprite
if you ask me..
but I just read he has
pancreatic cancer and it spread..
that sucks..
The "Road House" fan club members will
be devastated when they hear of this news
WOLVERINES!
