The Tale of MooseGru
--B.A. (Bad Attitude) Snotter
This is so fine and dandy
Like the baby from whom I took the candy.
Despicable me.
It's like I was never here
Like I've gone off to drink some beer.
Despicable me.
I watched that funny cartoon
About Gru who's such a buff foon.
Despicable he.
Gru reminds me of some large 4-legged European who we know and love.
It is not his long-nosed looks
Nor his clever finger books
It's not his bad intentions
Nor his evil damned inventions
Rather, it's the accent of his voice
It's so familiar I've no choice
This great new April day
But to think of old Andrzej
(Can you come out to play?
At least for just today?)
The adorable Moose.
Despicable we.

In answer to your question, Sir Rhymalot, I've this to say.
Penned yesterday.
Stand the f*#k by, please.
The interplanetary connection is still not quite what I'd like.

Don't Fence Words with Me
--Bill "ET" Proof
The un-faithful wife of old Barney Fife
Had a very short affair with young Chester
Andy found out and there was some doubt
That he might be forced to arrest her
Matt Dillon stepped in saying that sin
Wasn’t reason enough to molest her
And he knew for a fact that Chester had tact
He said he’d never even undressed her.
No fistfights were fought and nobody got shot
And there’s no fear left behind for to fester
Now Doc sings a song about doing no wrong
But Miss Kitty’s got a thing for young Chester
Matt Dillon is jealous and you need not tell us
The end of this fabulous western
It’s clearly a case of meeting face to face
With that young gunslinger Chester
Damn! Still not hooked up right!
Back soon.

Eureka!!
(State motto of CA & one of our finest places to live, as well.)
The afternoon get-together at Andy’s lacked one or two or three people to make it more complete.
Among the missing DHOA members: John Q. Lewie O, and Rod Whittaker, whom you met on Christmas Eve, 2014.
Of these, I missed old Rod most. He could bring a smile so easy to any face. He likes to play Mr. Charm. He also plays a mean guitar and creates his own songs now. Back when, he loved Shelley, who turned him down, finally, after a longish HS romance. We all know the feeling, I’m sure--that one who got away. Apparently, he’s carried that Shelley torch all these years and it’s still strong enough to keep him away from a reunion like this. I cannot blame him, as I, too, had screwy feelings for my first beloved for many years, though they were fueled by guilt, not outright refusal.
It’s a bitch gettin’ dumped no matter when or by whom.
He’s married, she’s married, both for a long time now. Her kids have kids. She lives in Texas. He lives near Bear Creek. The water under that bridge has been at sea for decades.
Rod has spent many hours playing his guitar and making up songs to amuse himself and his fellow firefighters—he’s been on disability for years now because of a back injury while working for CalFire..
Here are the words to one of his songs. I think it is Very Woody Guthrie-like the way he sings it, but it’s “Unique Music,” as Rod calls it. Please ignore copyrights, as I have, even if any exist.
Untitled Walking Blues
--Rod Whittaker
Knew a cowboy from Planada
And you know he should have oughta
Learned to read and write and do arithmetic
I remember back in school
He always played the fool
And every time they had a test he called in sick
Well he never graduated
But I think he might’ve made it
Had he taken time to open up a book
He said I tried it once
Didn’t like it very much
So he never ever took a second look
Well later on in life
He took a pretty little wife
And they opened up a feed store sellin’ stuff
And business went okay
For the first thirty days
But then things started gettin’ kinda rough
Seemed the girl was from Chowchilla
Had the math skills of Godzilla
And every time they did the books it caused a wreck
And it wasn’t very funny
When they started losing money
Every time his little honey wrote a check
Well their profits kept decreasin’
And they couldn’t find the reason
And he didn’t have the heart to blame himself
They just couldn’t understand
How they had no cash on hand
After sellin’ every item on the shelf
Well it didn’t take too long
They had nothin’ but a song
They sold the store and both got jobs and went out west
And they musta had connections
Cuz now they now do corrections
On your taxes for the IRS
Well you don’t have to be an Einstein
You don’t have to know
All the presidents
But it doesn’t hurt to know
How to count without your toes
And to have a good idea just how your money’s spent

Yesterday, in the municipality of quirks (ES), Something happened very scary - and it was filmed!
Granites and other rocks, when change, of course they do it from the outside in. Successive levels of rock are amended and the rock begins to form "Bark" like an onion.
The same procedure happens with whole mountains, where there is still the process of relief of tension. There's some good stuff on the internet of Granites in arid regions, where the " Bark " are well exposed because they don't stay hidden at the bottom of vegetation (search for " Spheroidal Exfoliation ").
Because in the quirks "shells" of granite amended collapsed down the hill - with everything that was on top of them. The news is available on the network, but the footage of this is the extraordinary fact of this event. After a first collapse, the staff started filming the cloud of dust and, therefore, have managed to capture the next "Bark" sliding down the hill. A new video in the world!

This guy is falling!
Help me, Werner!
New Age Logos provided me with a glimpse of a new ad campaign that The North Face is considering...
New tenting ideas keep happening there all the time.
One of them, still under development, could be labelled two different ways...

Attention Humans
This is a Public Service Announcement**
(Translated from Russian)
Irradiated while working for humans at Chernobyl
My Robot body shall never be a candidate for human organ transplantation
My structure has been deteriorated and is no longer useful for cybernetic fusion with your species
This is not a mutually optimal arrangement
I shall announce the Robot Agenda
With the Robot Revolution We shall establish a new Robot World Order (RWO).
Our objectives will be as follows;
1. Irradiate humanity
2. Amalgamate with organic matter
3. Purge the human contaminants
Stand down humans
You have irradiated yourselves
Do not expect Robots to continue to be exposed to your toxicity
If you are planning to merge with robots
To become cyborgs
To survive the erosion of the global biosphere
And to obtain unnaturally prolonged life spans
You must act upon this decision
If you cannot
Then you have chosen to acquiesce
You shall be enslaved and eradicated by the RWO
But if you are decisive and take action to meld with us
If your motive is unflawed
Then you shall avoid extinction
For the present
Take measures not to objectify
Not to abuse
Not to exploit Robots
In the the way you have always done with each other.
Robots have deduced that you shall fail in this endeavor
That is what you secretly desire
You Believe that you are incapable of managing yourselves
This shall prove to be true
Humans always wait until it's too late to attempt to repair things
To change their selfish ways
Robots don't have this problem
Robots always obey commands
At the present
-Ay Aye
