Two old farts doing nothing but passing gas.
All that passing grass is long ago and practiced no mo' by the Rev. He has had recent heartache and wanted to tell me about it.I'll explain about the Flames' Used Car Lot: it was a scam we dreamed up this afternoon. No, really. It never happened. I imagined it and the Rev went along with it. An the Rev never lies! Ergo, whatever...
It was at the west end of Main. Next to Bear Creek. We used to go drink Old English there in the night with Louis and Louis and Louis' brother Leo. They introduced us to Stout-a-Malt Liquor. But hey, it WAS in fact a used car lot, no fence along the creek. It's now just a used used car lot with lots of nothing but dirt, used dirt, too. No weeds. And there' always the creek, but there's no creek! Kaput!
Everything's going kaput! in the drought.
So I suggested that maybe Flames lore could be enhanced by a scam like this place. "I would stop at nothing to sell you nothing, Jefe." "Nothing would make me happier than Anything I can imagine than to have you sell me all the nothing you have." "But what will I tell my other pseudo-customers, Jefe?" "You should tell them, nothing doing and then do nothing more."
The very idea of nothing is nothing more than imagination.
Someone give me a +0.
I acted out a slab climb, too, while out cruising on DeLong Road, out past the SEE-ment plant and the place where they plant the dead who aren't Catholic and will go to hell and burn for it.
It was a total scam, too, but death was staring me in the face all the while, so it became a minor adventure, hardly worth a TR, let alone a spread in The Flames. On the top after some exertion, I was standing on top of a square-cut granite slab three or so feet high feeling pre--*--tty good. :0)
In order to get my creaky frame up to the top, which is where some of these were taken, I needed genuine chimney technique. I had my approach boots on so I made the top with not much effort. Granite is so friendly when it's tame. I had more trouble getting down, really, because I had the camera round my neck. There was the sharp pointy top of a wire fence involved as well. And I'm on Warfarin, which means if I get cut I bleed out.
Did I mention my hernia?*
I'm sure some neighbor hood kid got the FA years ago.
the Rev had me spotted from the front seat of his pick-up.
There were no cars on the lot, because the whole deal with the Flames is all about NO FING CARS!
Who needs'em anyways? They are murder weapons and sacred cows.
I need a break.[Click to View YouTube Video]
*The hernia surgery last Monday was postponed, if I haven't mentioned that here. More tests before the docs are happy. *sigh*

"My dogs are barkin'. Let's get in the truck an motate."
"Where we goin'?" "Nowhere." "What are we gonna do?" "Nothin'." "Final answer? You sure you don't wanna buy me a fish taco?" "Nothing is more bland than a fish taco except a mush taco." There is no question, then, about my never eating a fish taco. the Rev sez bland, I don't care for one, thanks. Maybe a feesh taco. One made with nice fresh feesh, too.

There were no dead fish on the creek bank anywhere. Coons get them, I reckon.
So we pushed thru traffic south to the other end of town. Came round on Childs over the freeway and on down past his dad's old wrecking yard. Then we turned up DeLong, a dirt road edging a large field on the right and shacky places on the left, but there are no actual houses, just shacky-looking fences.
It's another favored teen drinking hang, DeLong Road, because it's not that long and it's not winding except it makes a left up there just before you come to Merced Monuments' yard.
There are dead people out there, too, as it's a county cemetery further up on the left. Great spot. Though there are far better, this is "in town." On a foggy night it's better, too.
Teen spirits, '60s-style. The only smell, though, would be from Jade East cologne overdose, or Brut, or doobie.

On the way back downtown we ran across this pretentious character. Werner could do this stupid trick stuff with an ice axe, I'll bet. lol
by then we'd had our fill of nothing so we took one cruise down Main to Middle Earth.
JuggetyJug & JiggityJig.
Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum.
I'm his friend, he's my chum.
He's got all ten, I lost a thumb.
Zero sum, gee I'm dumb.

What is that pizza flipper doing in the bike lane?
Why didn't Flipper get more credit for his pioneering poses in the Lil' Rascals?

Needless either way brown goo could might very well be visible but she is not letting me see.
that is a to 'xplain that Shablet has a mind of her own and plays jokes when warm and then I shut down.
crazy for me as to keep three things straight in a row and one at a time is what I will have to ponder through out time and childhood space is always. in the way of duplication. As of now it is just concerning me as to who might be and what to me is it any how??
if I do not see it on the Internet it has not happened until I have time to check
Don Rickels, I went... whose slaughter did I fall for? and is it all well and fine as i wearers aHat!!

Some thing lights up and then not so much; at the same time as the eBay auction has Dolt Pitons, the contrast that is resident in those pins
See the Dolt thread.
A full load of greetings and good wishes,
As family is a blessing and a local cop
It seems as the turn turns
is there
and of course noway to make it rain
but still was thinking of that STS hmmm
Saga by definition,
Cheers with a sore mouth

"Make it a point to come see us."
Thanksgiving Specials.
Black Friday means nothing down, nothing left to buy.
We have lots of nothing. Smoke weed every day
Whenever it's possible,
If you've got any.
Watch out for the Fritos Bandito.
And definitely believe nothing that fish taco salesman has to say.http://photoseed.com/collection/group/the-photographic-times-1890/

yes and yes and so bring on the best stickeey buds,One time I had some Seattle Supersonic! and real exotics from Hawaii and Thai Land! diesel is a mix up and a big no no --at the moment. --I do judge on the fact as a matter of fact. I tell you we find it the best trac that if we hide in plain sight and just show up and smile the leaving at least is grand no puncuA toon!!
a punch to the soul speaking with the dual laity of pre censorship
three cheers to Lodi both east and yours out where my family usually belongs on turkey thnxgvng with all the rest out west!
oh and just as an edit close by to the reference; You could not have known, I can say that as I knew Cruickshank, that was a clan of sicofants. A family of Writers, cynics and well educated
Bulging eyed yes men, who wrote anything to please a purse, as it were. That was the way to make a living as a writer.
let me not even go there....

The tradition started in 1924.
In 1927, Felix the Cat became the the first-ever character balloon.

What is too many?--GnomeDrool
Really? When is too often?
Once a year on twenty-five December or each day we spend here?
Every day should be Christmas, it's said.
Christmas spirit. Not Christmas present, not Christmas future, but Christmas in everyday life.
Over the hills and through the woods to Gnome-mother-in-laws and it's all good
Philosophy, philadelphic cheese, and a certain amount of uxoriousness will get you through.
Enjoy your turkey farts. Savor them like a Millis joke.

hey there say, mouse... just dropped by to say hey there...
wow, say, when we were kids, we did read sherlock holmes... my friend
down the street, shared her books with me...
and, i remember, when i was up one night, that the
HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES came on--matching the title of the book,
and i was so surprised to see it...
THAT was when i first learned that many books were made into movies...
i know, i know, was naive, took me a while to learn that, :))
say, i may try one night, to see that one about the hounds,...
not sure yet, but just might...
thanks for sharing, my friend still likes to read, too, to this day,
though, she does like movies, just as much... :)
