Strange but True

I look in the mirror and What I see staring back at me is a combination of my father and Peter Ustinov as The Old Man in Logan’s Run.

So Tired of It

Posted on November 30, 2017 by Mikey

I think starting tomorrow, I’m going to stop posting random thoughts to facebook and start posting them here instead. I’ve been sick lately and all this time alone in bed have given me a chance to think about things, like Life and So On, especially as December 14, 2017, approaches. The significance of this date, in case you aren’t aware, that on that date I will be exactly 57.5 years old, the exact age that my brother was when he died in 2013.
“Beware the Ides of December!”

Today’s Clinton Joke

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Mikey

[originally from www.BILLCLINTONSEX.com/main.htm, printed 1999-01-02 10:53 AM]

Bill Clinton and his driver were cruising along a country road one night when all of a sudden they hit a pig, killing it instantly. Bill told his driver to go up to the farm house and explain to the owners what had happened. About 1 hour later Bill sees his driver staggering back to the car with a bottle of wine in one hand, a cigar in the other and his clothes all ripped and torn.
“What happened to you,” asked Bill.
“Well, the Farmer gave me the wine, his wife gave me the Cigar and his 19-year-old daughter made mad, passionate love to me.”
“My God, what did you tell them”, asks Clinton.
The driver replied, “I’m Bill Clinton’s driver, and I just killed the pig.”

Chance for Success?

Posted on April 1, 2016 by Mikey

I came up with an idea for a new computer program. It is intended to compete with Google Image Search, and will be called the Internet Digital Image Organization Technology. Considering how big Google is, I’m wondering if it will even have a chance for success.

Big Purge Coming!

Posted on May 24, 2015 by Mikey

Big Purge Coming!

I don’t want no snarky comments from the Peanut Gallery, but this (2015) is going to be the Year of the Big Purge! Stuff that I no longer have any need (actual or psychological) or use (psychological or actual) for will be going bye-bye! Said Stuff will be offered first to Family and then to Friends. All dibs claims will be on a first-come first-(re)served basis. Finally, if nobody wants my Fine Quality Stuff, it will (sadly) be sent to the recycling/rubbish depot.

And if anybody can help me SELL MY STUFF, I’m offering a commission in the form of a three-way split (60% for me, 20% for you, and 20% for charity—I never said it was an even split)!

A Real Dream Vacation!

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Mikey

I recently had a dream about touring Australia, and going to the Wallamaloo Pub in East Wallamaloo. That point was VERY distinct. I remember commenting that it was the 10th anniversary of my first visit to Australia, which was in May 1993, so that in itself is odd, since that would have made the current trip in 2003, not 2014! Even odder in that I was travelling with Beryl, and we didn’t start dating until May or June of 2003.

The other odd thing about the comment in my dream is that I said it was my third trip to Australia in those 10 years. I distinctly remember going to Australia twice in my life, but when, exactly, was that second trip?! My first trip was 1993. I had gone to England in 1991, Cuba for scuba in 1995, and bought my house in 1998, so WHEN did I go to Australia that second time?! I’m now of the opinion that “my second trip to Australia” took place all in my head, a product of a VIVID imagination, very detailed dream states, and too many viewings of Crocodile Dundee movies!!

Here’s some more clarification and a bit of a reality check. There is no “Wallamaloo Pub”! Wallamaloo is the ficticious university in a Monty Python sketch. What I was really remembering was the “Ettamogah Pub“, which I really had been to on my first trip to Australia.
