The Wonder Years

Pigalion

2011-09-25T05:45:00.000-05:00

Did you know....A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (O.M.G.!!!) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy. I'm still not over the pig.) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home . What the...?) The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still can't believe that pig ...quality over quantity.) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Okay, so that would be a good thing.) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder how much the government paid to figure that out.) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that, too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (Talk about a southpaw.) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts. (and God love that pig)

I plan on returning to this world someday as a "pigalion", ya know kinda like a "liger" but different..lets see 50 x 30...that would be 100 hours per day..I'm going to hafta clear my schedule, see ya in the afterlife..er, no I won't..I'll be busy =)

2011-09-24T16:34:00.000-05:00

Hey all..or Hey nobody..is anybody out there?..I've been gone for a few years, I'm kinda surprised my blog is still here. Anyway it is nearing the end of salsa season here. lotsa changes over the last few years too, I'll be filling you in later. It's a beautiful Fall day here in MN, time to turn off Arcade Fire =( and take Cody for a walk. Later

Bamboo

2009-01-25T15:57:00.006-06:00

I'm looking for information on growing bamboo. I've had a plant for years, grown hydroponically. It was very root bound in it's small cute vase, so I smashed the vase and planted it in a pot with soil..along with a Draceana. They are both growing well, but not very fast. I think the pot may be to big, and as soon as the roots fill in it will really take off. I give it lots of water..water till it comes through the drain pan..when it's all evaporated I water again...any suggestions?

"Hancock" Review

2008-12-03T20:13:00.005-06:00

"Call me an asshole once more"

Will Smith, Charlize Therone, & Jason Bateman.

Another awesome action hero movie, though nobody's probably ever read a Hancock comic book, this was movie was comparable, if not better than Iron Man! A drunkin' superhero flyin' around with his bottle of booze..what a concept!..lots of action & humor ..and later on an unexpected "love story twist"..that's all I'll say so as not to ruin anything.

Highly recommended! Three thumbs up!

"Great Job"

Dazed and Confused

2008-11-29T06:14:00.003-06:00

My description of Holiday weeks..Wednesday seemed like Friday, Thursday seemed like Saturday..woke up late Thursday night, and thought "Shit, I gotta go to work in the mornin'!"...Friday seemed like Friday..not bad to have two Fridays in one week!..sooo..today actually is Saturday & me guid brither & his nickums are coming over for smoked John Hardys turkey..there's sure to be much glaikerie & haivers with no harns at all!...later on we'll probably hyster out to the fire pit with our hummie doddies, & plenty of jorum to keep us warm!..

Movie Reviews..Robert Downy Jr.

2008-11-27T16:34:00.004-06:00

Robert Downy Jr...best Super Hero movie I've ever seen!...Spiderman..Toby McGuire..what a wimp!..Christopher Reeves as Superman ..no offense..but no comparison either...Batman..whatever...which one?..it's as bad as James Bond..Sean Connery was the best!..in my opinion!..anyways I just watched "Tropic Thunder"...best African American (pc) impersonation I've ever seen..if ya didn't know it was him..ya'd never know it was him..great acting!..also kudos to Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and Nick Nolte who looked just like his mugshot!

Bein' that it's Thanksgiving we're now going to watch "Home for the Holidays" with Holly Hunter..and of course, Robert Downy Jr. a hilarious movie by Jodie Foster which I think is very representative of my family's Holiday experiences!

I think maybe we'll make Home for the Holidays a Thanksgiving ritual..beats the hell outta Home Alone..and it's funnier..checkit out..WT

Happy Turkey Day..THANKSGIVING!!

2008-11-25T20:08:00.004-06:00

OK..I must say I was quite inspired by Fiona's Bahookie..not that I've ever seen it, I just like the word..also by Mike and his Urban Scottish dictionary..therefore I found some more Scot's sites..and on any random day I'll post some Scottish slang such as this..

"Ma Minnie of langsyne had a nickum that plunk the schuil"

Lemme know what it means..& please forgive me Scots..if I'm butcherin' yer language..hope I'm doin' OK..You've got an awesome language!..I like it! WT

I have a Good Day every now & then.

2008-11-22T12:36:00.005-06:00

We'll still "end up sittin' on a rainbow in spite of ourselves" "Happy Festivus!..finally a Holiday for the Restofus!..Let's get out the pole, and start our feats of strength"...I'm not quite sure what provoked that..'cept fer Frank Costanza..c ya 4 now..WT

2008-11-19T19:17:00.005-06:00

" The Good That Won't Come Out" Rilo Kiley..one of my favorite bands!

Great lyrics..I could be here "standing on a frozen lake" 'cept it's not cold enough yet..only 17 tonight with a windchill of what feels like zero!

"Let's get together and talk about the modern age.All of our friends were gathered there with their pets just talking shit about how we're all so upset about the disappearing ground.As we watch it melt...."

"It's all of the good that won't come out of us and how eventually our hands will just turn to dust,if we keep shaking them.Standing here on this frozen lake."

"I think I'll go out an embarrass myself by getting drunk and falling down in the street."...been there, done that, maybe I'll take my chances on the frozen lake..it's feckin cold here..stay warm WT

Here are all the lyrics

In Spite of Ourselves-John Prine & Iris Dement

2008-11-16T08:09:00.006-06:00

This album is SO about me/us..we're definitely NOT "The Jet Set"

We do "cold beer & weinies..not steak & martinis".

..and yes I do drink my "beer like it's oxygen"..and yes I "get things done"

..as far as "sniffin' her undies" goes..I'm just makin' sure they need to be washed.

..a month of Sundays is 30 weeks.

..if ya wanna know what I'm talkin' 'bout, you'll hafta give it a listen.

I'm just enjoyin' life as it's handed to me..and "against all odds" I WILL "end up sittin' on a rainbow"

definitely worth checkin' out..one of my favorites!

"Is it a gun, is it a knife
Is it a wallet, this is your life". Classic, tragic true song!

Illegal Smile-John Prine

2008-11-15T19:36:00.002-06:00

I used to have one of those occasionally.

I was just tryin' ta have me some fun.

Sam Stone-John Prine

2008-11-15T18:50:00.005-06:00

"Sweet songs never last to long on a broken radio"

This song is dedicated to all of our veterans.

"It's a Big Old Goofy World"

I've seen John in concert many times, and each one was excellent!

Time Was-Wishbone Ash

2008-11-15T16:10:00.002-06:00

Time was..I'm tired of tryin' to think of somethin' amusing for y'all.

..bein' that I like music so much..

I'm switchin' from so called humor, to song reviews/opinions.

Give the suggested songs a listen & lemme know watcha think.

I grew up to Wishbone Ash..play 'em on the piano..they're still great!

East Hastings-Godspeed You Black Emperor-F# A# (Infinity)

2008-11-14T21:23:00.004-06:00

"We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death." Few albums begin with such promise and foreboding, but this first full-length from Godspeed You Black Emperor is definitely worth a listen!

I first heard them when I worked at Broadway Records selling lots of good music, I also saw them at the 400 Bar in the Twin Cities.. a small blue collar bar that brings in some really awesome bands..one of the most memorable shows I've ever seen!..and I've forgotten a lot! I'll always remember that show..B&W videos scrawling across the backstage to go with their awesome & very haunting music!..check 'em out..I love 'em! WT

Comfortably Numb..or Dumb - Pink Floyd

2008-11-05T19:30:00.004-06:00

..one of the best songs ever, 'specially the guitar!

...just came back from "Joe's Garage"..celebratin' the results of the last 24 hours!..talkin' erection..er ..election,..music, & movies, Dumb & Dumber came up &, here is their story.

We hosted collegiate baseball players in our home for many years. They played for a local team in town to get more experience, here is the the story of Dumb & Dumber...different names have been used to protect the dumb/innocent..

We were called "The Cursed" host family, cuz all the players that came to stay with us got injured..sure enough, "Dumb" came along and injured his back & had ta leave...so they sent us "Dumber"...

(let it be known that everyone that ever stayed with us were great people..we're still friends & in touch with many of them..this is just the story of one "Sumber".)

..sooo "Dumber" got here, & watta ya know, "Dumb" got better, so they sent him back to us too...Hell, we got room fer 2!

..that's where the fun started, they used to go out after the games..hell, they're college kids..watta ya expect?..one such night around 4am they came FREAKIN..into the house yellin'.. "We're scared man we're feckin scared"..the cops are after us!...apparently they pulled up to the wrong place at the wrong time...the cops were after some juvie's on bicycles..messin' with the neighbors house...

...sooo we shut the shades ...tell Dumb & Dumber to shut the feck up & go to bed, while we spy on the cops.."cheez-n-rice" (that's PC, for JC..not that I care 'bout PC)..they get the dogs out & everything!..they're lookin' around our backyard for these juvie's, & can't find 'em..so they find D&D's truck parked with a handle of Jack & Bacardi sittin' in the bed..

They dump the booze in the street..damn shame..and open the truck & turn the lights on...pull 'round the corner & wait for someone to notice, & come turn 'em off..how dumb do they think we are anyway?...D&D are crashed/passed out by now...& we're still spyin' on the popo..we figured..hellwithit.. let the battery die & we'll jump 'em in the the morning..which we didn't, cuz we had our own baseball game to go to..D&D were on their own..with no booze & a dead battery!

..one of the more memorable nights of our hosting career..more later, if ya can stand it...WT

Take Yer Pants Off & Jacket - Blink 182

2008-11-04T16:36:00.004-06:00

Happy Election Day..I voted.. (hint, middle class, living paycheck to paycheck) and I'm feckin sick of all vicious ads I've seen for way to long

So I'm writing about somethin' to get my, and your minds off all that.

Dressing styles of the weird and unusual.

I was sittin' in Central Park, aka Smokin' Park today havin' a smoke with some co workers..all girls by the way.

There was a guy in the park sportin' one-o-those "Lets see how low my pants can go until I either trip on them or they actually feckin' fall off"

Fortunately he had some whitey tighties on that stayed up..

I don't wanna see no ass cracks in the park while I'm tryin' to enjoy my break.

Where's my spackle..that crack would be no more!

Over his tighties appeared to be a pair of boxers, which he'd pull up a little occasionally..he never did attempt to pull his 5 sizes to big jeans up.

Granted we could've looked the other way..and we did..altough we were all waiting to see him trip when his pants fell down..

That woulda been hilfeckinlarious..serve ya right fer dressin' so feckin' stupid!

none of the girls found it at all attractive, and I've always found it hard to understand why anyone would wanna dress that way.

I guess to each his own, Next time, do "yer own" in another park..not the one I'm sittin' in.

..any explanations for this odd new style of dress.

Later WT..I've got my spackle and, Uptowns got hers, so keep yer feckin' pants up will ya?

Time - Hootie and The Blowfish

2008-11-03T17:28:00.006-06:00

Carl in Fall at 3:30am on Kitty Dope

Carl in Spring @ 4:30am

or Spring..after Kitty Dope!

..one of the best band names ever..

Daylight Savings Time, and Standard Time..

everyone goes through it, it gets darker earlier or later at night..

and vice versa in the morning...

unless you live in Arizona, which from what I understand..(and that's not a whole lot)..never change their times..

..perhaps they're more concerned for their pets..the 4leggers who don't give a shit about time changes!

They just wanna eat on regular schedule.

I'll be gettin' up with Chip, Cody, & Carl at 3:30am 'steada 4:30am for about the next month now..

It kinda balances out, cuz in Spring they get up later.

..anybody else been through this ordeal with yer 4leggers"

..are horses like that?

Lemme know, see ya ..WT

Road Trip -Steriogram

2008-11-02T10:33:00.005-06:00

1980 somethin' after work at the 'Rigger.
Me & Drooper used to tend bar together at the 'Rigger, and once in a while we'd party after the bar closed..imagine that.
I think my wife kinda dreaded Drooper & I, cuz we usually found a way to get into trouble.
One such night after consuming a "couple" o beers and various other intoxicants..we'd been up all night and were sitting on my deck (yes, I mean DECK..ya know, the wooden thing on the back of yer house)
We were thinkin' 'bout goin' fishin' and practicing our casting skills.
The mailman came by & we casted at him with a Fat Rap with a bunch o treble hooks on it..fortunately we missed.
Then we decided it would be good day for a Road Trip..not one of our best ideas. ...anyway we through a case o Leinies in the back of the truck,grabbed the shotgun...decided to hunt instead of fish...the only thing we hunted were the flying Leinie bottles we consumed..actually hit few of 'em.
...so after being up all night, and getting lost on our road trip we ended up at the Nasty Habit, a bar in Winona..like we needed to go to a bar..had a "few" there and figured we should head home.
..and as luck would have it, we got pulled over on the way home.
The trooper asked if we'd been drinking
"a couple"... that means anything from 2 to 22 in coptalk..
Drooper was baggin' zzzz's after our long adventure and woke up wondering where his glasses were...the nice officer said "They're on the floor next to your beer"
...this is SO not good... drivin' after a "couple" to many..open bottle..and to top it off the damn shotgun still had a shell in it..
..the nice officer was either having a good day, or didn't wanna deal with all the BS reports he'd hafta write up on a couple of idiots out on their road trip..
..anyways he told us to go to the next town and get somethin' to eat, some coffee, and go home..
Yes Sir Thank you Sir, have a good night sir we'll do that...and we did..and made it home safely..
...haven't seen Drooper for many years ..might be a good thing..Later WT

Halloween Live-in-4Skin

Happy Halloween to all, obviously I'm not sittin' at my front door waitin' for all the little varmints I don't know to come trickin' me outta some candy.

I ain't got no candy..if I did I'd be eatin' it myself!

I turned the light off , & went to Joe's garage for a couple/few beers.

..flashback to Halloween 1980

I was 'tendin bar at the 'Rigger and dressed as some kinda stud with short shorts and a flashy shirt.

Hangin out of my shorts was "Wally" the 12 inch HUGE "deck", johnson, schlong, that my wife got as a joke for her birthday one year.

He was strapped to my leg with a bandana.

My BFF's Mom came in that night & ordered a drink..she looked down and saw Wally, and said "That's disgusting" and left...oh well.

..and Big ol Wally has been around..

My friend Drooper & I were moving my stuff to a new place once, & Wally was strapped onto the front pushbar on a big ass Dodge Ramcharger truck..got a lot of doubletakes & damn near caused an accident!

Wally has since disappeared..lost in the shuffle..or somewhere.

...if you see him lemme know..he's about 12 inches long, 3 inches around, and wears a helmet of some sort.

Pissin' in The Wind

2008-10-30T20:22:00.003-05:00

..by Jerry Jeff Walker, one of the Greatest artists ever!...here we go..

Cody usually wakes me at 3:30 am..he's stealing my smelly slippers, socks, or underwear..never eats 'em..just likes to steal 'em.

4:30 am..now he really wants me to get up

I set my alarm for 5:01 am but I usually get up anyway...he's gotta pee like a racehorse..usually I do to..and I hafta find my slippers.

..So I get to pee first, cuz he must have a bladder the size of an elephant..and I don't..mine's more like a sparrow..I warm up of a leftover Cup-o-Joe..cuz I know he can wait 90 more seconds..grab a smoke & try to find my lighter..and finally BDAY, and Chip get to go out & drain the main vein..they usually won't leave the deck until I join them ,(that'll change when it's 20 below) I'll have my smoke..a 100, B4 Cody's done pissin'... he pisses for a LONG time..then I go get ready fer werk..let 'em out a couple more times...& of course when I'm ready to leave ..he's on patrol..checkin' out all the rabbit "shet" that may be around the yard..we go through the same process after work!...more later..WT

Loose Leaves

2008-10-29T18:40:00.006-05:00

Rented leaves
Brighteyes

Ahh yes the leaves are falling again here in lovely minisoda ..."ya know it's like a BIG soda but smaller"

The neighbors are all out rakin' their arses off..but why?..there are still leaves on the trees....how many feckin times ya wanna rake anyway?

I like rakin' once..now it's nonce, cuz I no longer own my leaves, I rent them.

I was blabbin' to the crabber man (my neighbor) today & he asked when I'm gonna rake my leaves.

"Not my leaves, sides that why dontcha wait til the feckin trees are bare!"

"Wait even longer & they'll all blow down to the dope dealers house at the end of the street!"

I've been defriended by both of my kids, one cuz I commented on a picture of Edward 40 hands..a guy with two 40 oz's duct taped to his hands..the other, cuz I spoke to one of their friends about his impeccable taste in music..I guess that is taboo ..my old neighbor also ditched me, I'm guessing cuz of my link to this blog which may have been to..shall I say "risque" for his tastes..guess I don't care much about other peoples "tastes"..and I'll just keep writin' whatever the hell I want...'sides I've got plenty of other friends..there, I'm done venting..have I been venting?..seems that way..better do a spellcheck..lotta .75 cent wirds in this..later WT

Joe's Garage..Zappa

2008-10-25T05:25:00.005-05:00

Time Out...whenever I get sicka cleanin' , bloggin', or whatever mundane task I may be doing at the time, I'll grab a couple beers & head to the "Man Garage"..a place not far from here where you can smoke, drink, and bitch and/or delight about life's pleasures and complaints. It's a great place to go..better than any bar..great posters on the door..(when it's down..in the colder seasons)..you can even smash yer beer cans on the floor...gotta p? ..( just go out back..if yer a guy after dark =)... There's always a good football or baseball game, or some good Rock-n-Roll on the radio..if it's Rock, we can pretty much name every tune, and the history of the band playing it..until later, when the cans start to pile up..send me some stuff about yer "Garage"/Time Out place
check out the new pics...WT

I'm a lazy guy...Slobberbone

2008-10-23T17:50:00.001-05:00

I just took time away from this obsessive drivel of mine to do something constructive...vacuuming, a word I'm always challenged to spell correctly.
Cody can leave a full canister of hair per day on the carpet, so I could vacuum everyday..but I don't. I lost my train of thought..don't drink & blog, find a friend to blog you home..oh yeah, have ya ever been almost done vacuuming, and the cord comes out of the wall..does that NOT piss you off ! "feckin' betch" the first time & "feckin' kent" the second time! I had to go a whole length of the cord away & plug the fecker back in!...It's as bad as not bein' able to find the feckin remote when you're three feet from the TV!..anyways the carpet is clean..Chip loves to lay on clean carpet. Thanks for the use of your wird fiona..how many times did I use it Abbott?
'nuf 4 now..I'm goin' to the kennel for a smoke..it's shetty weather here.
..damn, I did a spell check, and got feckin' vacuuming right everytime!
although "feckin'" popped up quite a few times..

The Current 89.3

2008-10-21T21:39:00.000-05:00

Has anyone checked out the Current 89.3 website yet?
It's the only station I listen to, and it streams nationwide..maybe worldwide.
They don't play your overkilled "Classic Rock", and none of the the Top 40 BS!
Always something new & different..which is good in my opinion.
I've purchased a lot of my music based on what I heard on The Current.
...and, no I don't work for them, although I have donated to them.
I just think it's a great station that's worth checkin' out.
Give it a listen & lemme know what ya think.."Expand your Playlist"

Facebook

2008-10-15T19:56:00.000-05:00

Hello, I'm still here. I got involved in learning how to Facebook..which is tougher than this..must be cuz I'm too old, & Facebook is for the younger generation (my kids)..anyways my old next door neighbor asked me to be his friend..on Facebook that is.."not that there's anything wrong with that" (Seinfeld) aaand, I all ready had an account, so I answered him & started updating my account..haven't seen him in 30 years so it was kinda cool... my kids are even my friends!...Soooo I've been spending vast amounts of constructive house cleaning time sitting her learning how to type.
The computer debacle is finally over and it works. I'll tell you about "Sharkrunners" in my next post..another great way to spend my time...but they're all fun..check it out until then @ http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/shark-runners/shark-runners-hq.html enter "Hargo" under Search for Player & that's me at 1.29 million dollars.

Carl n Cody

2008-10-10T21:52:00.000-05:00

As promised I'll write some funny stuff about two of my best friends, Carl and Cody. They are both pictured on my blog.
Cody is a yellow lab..about 80 lbs...beautiful dog..runs and leaps like horse!
Carl..as in Carl Spackler, named by my son..is an an 8 lb. tabby/tiger looking cat who found us as we were sitting around our fire pit one night...and he moved in =)..please post if anyone knows who Carl Spackler is..I'll give you a hint..He's a "Cinderella Boy"
Anyways, Carl was about 3 lbs when he "found us" and Cody and Carl became "soul mates"..Carl has all his claws and can certainly handle himself against Cody..so now you know the history..
They grew up chasing and attacking each other, and they still do.
FUNNY STUFF: Cody will be laying on the floor, and Carl will just come up and attack him..bite onto his flabby lips, chew on his legs, and hang off his collar.
Cody will retaliate by putting his huge paw on Carl and gently chewing on his head..they'll go at it for quite a while..depends how much catnip Carl has had=)
MORE FUNNY STUFF: Cody..the horse like dog will go running across our big backyard after Carl..just when he gets there Carl will leap 3 feet into the air and Cody will run under him..Carl runs up a tree and waits for Cody, jumps out and attack him..they're truly "soul mates" hilarious to watch!
GROSS STUFF: Cody can be two floors away from Carl, as Carl is in his box takin' a shit...Cody will jump up at the smell to run down and grab his "Snack"..he loves cat shit!
REALLY GROSS STUFF: Carl was in our big backyard one day & caught a baby rabbit..Cody was out & heard the sqeeeeeeeeeeeealing of the rabbit...ran over & stole it from Carl & swallowed it whole..not a bite..ish..yuk!
Now you know about two of my pets.."The Soul mates"
They're laying next to each other right now.
send me some pet stories if you want..
I'll end now..c ya.. weirdtales

2008-10-08T20:15:00.000-05:00
