2013-05-20T14:30:31-05:00

They didn't know one another
But
They had just got 86'd from three other bars
Hold on to your hat Mr Bar keep
One talks nasty

One hasn't figured out why there is a urinal in that place
Ah yes good old time drinking
Good thing the bar is in Reno
Ya still can smoke in a bar
Kindred spirits
Nice when ya find em

But not me

2013-05-20T01:00:37-05:00

Love
Lust
Want
Need
A thousand poems
A thousand plays
Thousands and thousands of songs
Whatta ya gonna say
Who knows for certain
I have a niece who tells me God is love
Where is that
Darn hard to say
Perhaps a dozen Haiku
Perhaps the good humor man
Perhaps the Guru
Perhaps someone with great knowledge
But not me

Landscape

2013-05-17T12:44:32-05:00

Oh
And an array of birds currently nesting and feeding young

Both

2013-05-17T12:42:43-05:00

All of the above
We have 6+ acres in the foothills at 3,000
With
Oaks
Maples
Pines
Cedars
Aspens
Poplars
Dogwoods
And
A few cherry trees we put in

Evasive action

2013-05-15T13:38:57-05:00

Now ain't that one hell of a question?!
Almost a straight line.
Seems Dave Letterman would have half a dozen jokes
I think a better quip would be
What is the most significant secret I discovered
If anyone is interested I'll go into it
Otherwise why bother.
EH??!!

Lemme Know

Half full or half empty?

2013-05-14T18:33:08-05:00

half-full, or half-empty
Depends
And
We not talkin adult diapers
Depends
On
What is in the glass (Beer, Ale, single malt Scotch. quality wine)
And
Whom is paying
And
What the other topics of conversation are
And
Well.....................
I'm out of Ands..........

The little things

2013-05-12T13:29:37-05:00

Growing from seed
Or
Cutting, grafting
===========================================
Was
Born on a farm
I hated summer because
It meant hoeing rows 3 blocks long
Every day
But
Now that I'm sort of mature
I recall the rows of sprouting seeds
Sort of a mixed emotion
LIFE / HARD WORK

Mad Libs

2013-05-12T02:28:38-05:00

Asked my wife
She says
Get my handsome man out from whereever ya put him
And
Put your sweaty hillbilly man away

In truth I'd been out with a spreader pitching cedar chips
Hadn't bathed nor shaved
That's not much of a story is it
Oh well
We're going to hear a Leonard Cohen tribute show
Guess I'd better shower up
Get out the Brylcreem and polish the face
Not much of a story
Just life

Personal space

2013-05-10T14:17:18-05:00

Ask me know questions
I'll tell you know lies
90% of my waking hours are dedicated to what my wife wants
And
Music
The other 90% I dedicate to Plinky
However
Know one in the rest of the world will come and help me move
Or
Cares about the Mandan people
So.........
Oh well
Thought I had something more to say

Art appreciation

2013-05-09T09:29:48-05:00

Everyone does art for different reasons
The Artists
The Patrons
The Pretenders
The Curious
The Hopefuls
The Lost

Possible reasons?
Who knows...
Humans being human...

What is art?
Passing time
Expressing emotion
See if I can do it
Make some income

I always thought it funny, listening to people guessing what the artist had in mind
Yeh RIGHT
Good Guess

Wall to Wall

2013-05-06T11:29:42-05:00

Photos of my wife's family, 4 generations
An "on a whim" eclectic assortment of paintings
A few guitars
A couple of brain tanned deer hide items I made
1 framed music score

Take me to the Clone Wash

2013-05-04T11:21:13-05:00

Let's hope the clone would have better memory than I
Then
I'd have it recall the last time Plinky used this prompt
Other than that I'd opt for a clone with a thick skin, whose job it would be to take all of the guff I get for my other bad habits...
Other than that
I don't got no responsibilities
I'm just a poor thawed out caveman retired guy

Stranger? You Bet..........

2013-05-03T12:52:21-05:00

When I was in the 1st grade
Our school was semi rural
The quick way home was over a hill through woods
Guy stopped me
Fiddled with me
Told me to put my penis in my girl friend
Took my clothes
Sent me on my way
I had to get home naked
Somehow I was already ashamed of naked

The waltz of time

2013-05-02T17:53:50-05:00

As if...........
That's sort of asking if there was something about me I'd switch
Boy oh boy
I've a number of those faults
But
Not so much that they'd be worth changing who I am
So
WYSIWYG

I simply can't resist?

2013-05-01T08:55:25-05:00

I can resist

Cigarettes
Single malt Islay Scotch
Smart ass comments
Pot
Porn
Aw hell the list is endless

I can resist
But it takes the fun out of life

Earworm

2013-04-30T11:50:20-05:00

Ho-Hum
Gotts Tinnitus
So a ringing hiss awaits me around the clock
But
Everyday, I awake with a different song in my frontal speakers
Wife Sez....
"Don't you start me with whatever is going through your daily amp"
Every day a different song
No need to go to Reno
I wake up lucky
In that song regard

We don't gotta talk no stinkin moving vans

2013-04-28T14:58:20-05:00

In my 72 years
I've lived on
3 continents
In
5 countries
32 townships, cities, counties and 5 navy ships and bases
54 hotels, houses, motels, vans, tents, cars, apartments, log cabins
There is very foul phrase having to do with moving
I mostly don't care what people think of my language
But
It's Sunday
And
I'm not going to type that phrase here

Person, place, thing

2013-04-27T13:23:16-05:00

I'll do it
Soon as I go to a cafe.
Would a greasy spoon
Or
Bar that serves microwave "sanwiches" count?

The ultimate companion

2013-04-26T23:32:30-05:00

Someone else has to take this one
I don't know the changes
I got nothing

Just for one day

2013-04-25T16:55:33-05:00

Dat's an evil premise
Says he
Who on earth would you trust to make your decisions
Possibly alter your life
I've made it my goal to own myself since I was eight
And
Discovered that I wasn't being taught to think
Just
What to think
==============================================
How bad
Or
How good could it be
Well
Maybe
I could deal with
Woody woodpecker or Pogo Posum bein me for 24 Hrs

Unknown caller

2013-04-24T14:37:27-05:00

Well
Mr./Ms. X called
They screwed up it's my iPod
It's Vlad Putin
His "American" sucks
Vlad: "Доброе утро Тома"
Me: "I knew some Cossack would call but not you, Whuzzup?"
Me: "Hey Vlad I have a land line, I'm 72 and this mini key pad sucks"
Vlad: "как дела с женой"
Me: "I told ya once, I told ya twice, the wife is off limits"
Vlad: "ха-ха, Гоча"
Me: "yeh us old guys get testy"
Me: "Next time you're by we'll stop at the Mustang Ranch in Nevada"
Vlad: "Том очень хорошо, это приятно видеть вас все еще есть юмор"
Vlad: "Увидимся"
Me: "Good luck with that dictator shit"
Me: "Bye"

Damn fool caller

2013-04-24T14:28:58-05:00

2013-04-24T13:28:00-05:00

So you had to ask

2013-04-23T11:45:46-05:00

Why do I blog?
==================================
Let me sleep on it
Baby baby
Let me sleep on it.....
Let me sleep on it.....
And
I'll give you an answer in the morning

The Larry hours

2013-04-22T12:54:52-05:00

Jam Band
All levels of players/musicians
Open format
Instructional
Ya know, jams
Daily at 11:00 P.M.
First off who wants to play before that
It would have to be twitter or Facebook enabled
In
Order
For the audience to participate, sort of "live"
Stars?
My guess is that it would be like a talent show
Except
A multitude of musicians would just jump in
There would be a roll call of the greats lusting after the opportunity to participate
The technology is here now that would afford the audience members to sit in
Every instrument
Every musical arena

The history of language

2013-04-21T17:05:33-05:00

Oh crap
An open invitation to me being me
third time’s the charm
Opus one
Went down to the river
Saw a gorgeous young woman
Told her that the devil was on our trail
She slapped me
Opus two
Went down to the skating rink
Saw a gorgeous young woman
Told her that we should skate a few
She slapped me
Opus three
Went down to the river with a can of night crawlers
caught a slew of silver bass
Took them home
scaled them
cooked them in butter and herbs
Had them with a nice green salad
Conclusion
========================================
Serve yourself
Even if it takes three times
========================================
You guys knew I wasn't a writer when you invited me in
