Dance

Dancing. Thats one skill that I never mastered. When I was younger I was a black hearted metal head. Then I progressed in to dark indstrual music NIN, Front 242 so again no dancing required. Lots o time in the mosh pit. I actually tried to have a gay freind of mine teach me to dance. We went to a gay club and I tried not to dance so much like a tree. It didn't quite work. Some day I may actually take salsa dancing. I found this photo when looking for ones featuring dancing. I laughed and realized thats me If I were a MoshGrrl. The look of fear in the guy behind her is awsome.

I love Calvin and Hobbs. I enjoyed this photo of Spaceman Spiff. No pills , no sad stories just a nice photo.

You might have seen this before, but you know I like to post monkeys.

Booked

Finally booked some vacation time in Puerto Rico. I am sooo looking forward to it. I have an Aunt that lives out side of San Juan that is very excited to have us down there. Shes visited here every couple of years and stayed with my parents, now I'm going to visit her. We had to coordinate some days with her. The funny part is that I hate the heat, not too fond of the beach and can't swim very well. Where am I going ... to the beach on the ocean at the start of June. I'm so looking forward to the food. Fresh seafood, spices, dark rum drinks, roast pig, fresh mangos. Already licking my chops. Its a month away so I'll be pinching a few pennies til then so I can spend it foolishly. - Peace

Old San Juan

Tis the season......

Ah Smelting season. In Chicago there is a tradition that goes back a long way. That Is the Smelting season April 1 to 30 after dark) . The Smelt run at this time to breed near shore. Fishermen set up nets lights and drink beer while waiting for these fish. Im the past there are pictures of men catching huge hauls of smelt. In the past 10 years of so I and my friends have gone. We set up the nets, lights, fires (Chicago in April is freeking cold), and we drink till way too late. We never expect to catch any smelt any more , now its an opening of the spring season. We have the first bbq of the year there. Hot dogs, wings, hot links and I make my arracherra (skirt steak in a lime chipotle sauce) thats what we feast on. It use to draw big groups of friends. Its has kinda dwindled to a few die hard few. I always go (thats a given). Once there used to be a title of smelt queen, but alas I fear that those days are over.

Childhoods end.

I saw this and it made me sad today. Every day my boys are growing up. Every day they are becoming men. Some day childhood will end and you stand there and say "What the fuck!". I try to keep the innerchild alive. Its funny- When I was growing up I did not see too much of my father. He worker 3rd shift and slept in the day time. My Uncle was the main father figure in my life. I Miss him. Now that i have boys of my own I see how much fun he (my dad) has with them. Im actually kind of jealous of them. My dad giving them horsey rides. Hmmm I try to play w/ my monkey boys when ever I have the chance. We play -zombie, robot, monster as always I'm the "bad guy". (its my natute I guess. Hey if this rambling post makes no sence don't worry about it. Its all kid stuff.



The way I'd rather remember them. I hate the Calvin pissing on ford,chevy window stickers. It's so declasse'.

Just a simple monkey to start your week.....

OK, THE quote of a life time and I forgot it ...........

Beer Quotes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some times I just like going out for a beer with a friend.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink I
feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the brewery and all of their
hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they
might be out of work and their dreams would be
shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer
and let their dreams come true than be selfish and
worry about my liver.
Babe Ruth

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they
wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're
going to feel all day.
Dean Martin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up
reading. --- Paul Hornung
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.
L. Mencken

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!

George Bernard Shaw
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be
happy. ---
Benjamin Franklin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Without question, the greatest invention in the
history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the
wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
Dave Barry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEER: HELPING UGLY PEOPLE HAVE SEX SINCE 3000 BC!'
W. C. Fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember, "I" before "E", except in Budweiser.
Professor Irwin Corey

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group." Salvation in a can!
Leo Durocher

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the
"Buffalo Theory" to his buddy Norm: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers!

I owed you a monkey for the week. Here it is enjoy ....

Not even 24 hours

Yes the new Pope was a Nazi. As a child he was part of the Nazi youth movement, He had no choice. At the age of 14 he was drafted into the program. When he entered the ministry he was removed form the program. Every one has a history ... its how you deal with it that makes you who you are.

O face???

LINK** I found this out there and it made me laugh. This is a quiz to see if you can spot the sex face (or is it some thing else?).

Arrrg the day starts off good . We take a walk around the block and say Hi to the lady who lived a few doors down from us. My boy says somthing, I forgot what. Later I run to ACE Sears for a spark plug for the lawn mower. I return and spot several cop cars and an ambulance leaving her house. I see a photographer leave then I see the van pull up. It had FH on the plates. Thats Funeral Home plates folks. I thought she had passed. It turns out that her and her husband went out drinking the night before. She let him sleep in. When she went to wake him at 11 am she found out that he was dead. Man does that suck. At the very least he went painlessly. You just done realize that one day the last good bye you tell a friend just might be that.... night all

1000, 1k , un mil, 2000 parents and countless dreams lost in a war.

Its a picture of soldiers as a collage of GW bush. As of the start of the week we have lost 1000+ American lives in the War in Iraq. Just pissed at politics and the religious right. The whole schivo/right to life american bomber thing has just kept me in a pissed off mood this week. Arrg I watch the news too much for my own good. I m going to tip back a beer and clear my head ..... Who's drinking? Im buying.

monkey update

Its been a few days since ive posted a monkey. Things have been actually pretty good for me. Ive been doing alot of house stuff here. Im so glad that winter is over. Ive been working on making a ceder closet. Well not making but lining w. ceder. Its kinda cool. Been cleaning up the basement- I bought a LAT machine for $15 at the local resale shop. Just installed it on a wall in my basement. -- Its been nice going to work w/out a jacket. 90% of the time im outside so this is a great boon for me.

GA$$$$$$ Price$$$$$

What is with the price of gas? I know it has hit all of you too. Arrrg , My car takes premium gas so Im paying about $2.50-2.60 per gallon. The nice part is that I dont drive far to work , about 4 miles so a full tank runs for about 3 weeks for me. The other car is a Jeep that gets me about 18 miles per gallon. I installed a K&N*Link* air filter in the car so it gets about 20/21 miles per gallon. It runs (the filter) about 50 dollars about pumps up the MGP about 1-3 depending on your driving. The other thing I highly recomend is to check your air pressure. If you are under inflated you are also burning more fuel. Im guessing a $3.00 gallon this summer. The summer gas has not hit yet. I read an article that stated the mo-peds we becoming more and more popular. Thats nice if you live in the city, but in the burbs you would get crushed on one. (reminds me of the joke ... fat girl/moped...nevermind). Ok heres a quick link to take your mind off the pocket book.**Link2** Good night all

Window seat please.....

OK, I know this earned me a ticket to Hell. I did not make this , but I did laugh at it. They say that tragedy + time = comedy. But damn the body was not even cold yet before I found this. Are we that de sensitized to emotion or are we just under such a media blitz 24/7 that we don't notice any more? I think I stoped caring for the family because thats all I heard 24/7 on every media outlet. It was one familys sad and tragic moment that was drawn out for way too many years. As for me give me about 1 week to see if I get better then pull the plug. - Hell set me up for a Viking funeral . Light the fire boys I'm going home. I always told a freind of mine to make an Irish wake out of it, Take my corpse out for one last beer and a shot. I'd actually like that.....

I'll get you my pretty..... and your lil dog too.

I saw this when looking for mirrors. I have a friend who thought the flying monkys in the Wizard of Oz were real. Not real FLYING monkys , but real monkeys. We were at Tower records many years ago and they had the Wizard of oz playing with the commentary on. They announced that the monkey was played by a Vaudville actor known for playing animals. He looked crushed like his childhood was a fraud. --- Any how heres your monkey.  

If this guy had a web site or phone number posted I'd would have sent him money. I'd pay $20 to watch 2 flies fuck , but anything over $20 you had better have a great story. Weave me a tale of woe. This guy wins, hands down.  

After tweeking the blog code for about a rough hour I felt like this guy. I'd would have bought him a sammach for the HTML help bu not more than $20. I would have bought him a Chicken chedder bacon ranch sammich.  

Speaking of BK I like the new Sammaches they have , but somthing just very very wrong about the new BK ad's. This Just seems like somthing right out of x-files or buffy. 

Haloscan commenting and trackback have been added to this blog.

New look

Following a cue from the Girl of Summer I re did my blog. I hope you like it. It feels more.....like whats on the inside. Also changed to halo scan for comments. The templete for this blog had a weak comment usage. It would not post who left the comment, not that Halo scan will either but you can at least tell me who you are. -- Enjoy and on with the show.

While not a monkey, its one of my favorite movies. I love stories of alternate reality.  

enough said.....  

Its a bad photoshop but made me laugh..... 

The Pope was a man that knew humor ans loved the world. I'm not Catholic but but I had lots of respect for the man.  

Actually, in memoriam of the Pope, here are a couple of Pope jokes:

One night the Pope flies into New York for a hush hush meeting; no publicity, no reporters. He's met at the airport by a limousine driver who proceeds to take him into the city. Being a New Yorker, after a while the driver rolls down the window and starts to chat with the Pope. Finally the driver asks "Tell me, your Popeship: Now that you're Pope, is there anything you could do before that you can't now?" The Pope answers, "You know, I used to love to drive and now I get chauffeured everywhere. I really miss driving a car!" So the chauffeur pulls over and they switch places.

The Pope drives into New York City and he's driving like a friggin' maniac, speeding, going the wrong way down one way streets, up on the sidewalks. The limo gets pulled over by a motorcycle cop. The Pope rolls down the window, the cop takes one look, walks back to his motorcycle and calls the precinct. "Sarge" he says "I've got a problem. I've pulled over somebody really important and I don't know what to do." "Who is it?" asks the sargeant. "Is it Bloomberg?" "No, he's more important than Bloomberg," answers the cop. "Is it Pataki?" asks the sargeant. "Nope, not Pataki" answers the cop. "Good Lord! It's not Bush, is it?" "No it's not Bush." "Then who the hell is it?" asks the sargeant. "I'm not sure" answers the cop "but he must be important. He's got the Pope driving for him!"

Pope joke #2:

The Pope has been invited to the first Papal visit to England in 500 years. He's at a reception with the Queen who turns to him and says "You know, Your Holiness, with one wave of my hand I can make 500 Englishmen cheer for ten minutes." She gives that little Royal wave and everyone shouts "Huzzah!" "That's very good" answers the Pope "but with one wave of MY hand I can make 5 million Irishmen cheer for a week!" "Really?" says the Queen, "how?" So he smacks her in the face.

 

This shot may offend. It is done by a writer who writes one of my favorite comic books- The Walking Dead. Great horror book kinda taks place after dawn of the dead leaves off. This book that he used to do was called Battle Pope. I 've never read it - Just kinda weird. I remember when he was voted in to the station of Pope. He has done many good things for this Planet. I am not Catholic , but have much respect for him. When he does die I pray it is painless.
