We hung out with family all weekend, partly due to it being my birthday and because we had other things planned, too. T had a choral concert. Then we got to see our friend MK2 had a dance recital. Those were both fun. First, though, we went to dinner Friday night with a lot of family and friends. We didn't get a pic of everyone who was there, but it was a lot of fun. mmmm cheesecake!!

Dear Methuselah- I mean Malissa! (so SORRY about that)-
Wow, you're older than me! You know, you should write a post about what it was like to grow in America during your heyday. Surely living in Kentucky during the times when you had to wash your clothes by the river and fight in the Civil War was a challenge. And getting around on horseback when there were no roads must have been dreadful (say, was your wagon ever attacked by Indians?). I can only imagine how relieved you were (and maybe a little confused) when electricity came along.
Why don't you write your post about your 19th century teen-age years babysitting James Monroe?
Hey Mathuselie, quick question for you: How do you break a Pharaoh's finger?
Answer: Punch him in the nose!
Oh lordy I crack myself up! Hey don't tell Ramesses I told you that one, okay? He's got people everywhere.
Also, I think we should use monikers when referring to each as other as to avoid wasting ink spelling out full names when writing comments or responding to them. From here on out I shall be A.D. and you will be B.C. These nicknames are age appropriate. Let me know if you have a problem with these, B.C.
Say, here's a riddle for ya: What do you call something that has five fingers, a palm, fingerprints, and gets used inside B.C. porta potties?
Answer: Bathroom Tissue!
There I's goes AGAIN! Cracking myself up. Mercy, Tom, have mercy!
Well, that's all the news I want to share with you for now. I could certainly share more, but I simply don't want to. Have yourself a Happy Belated Carbon Test Day.
and tom's back!!!! :)
so many questions to answer, and i'm SO old... i can't remember the answers. LOL
mercy, tom, mercy!! oh i mean A.D.!!
sincerely,

Dear B.C.-

The new CD is entitled "Memoirs of a Man in the Trenches" and it features twelve of the most popular songs of my singing career. And since charity work is something I strongly promote, a portion of the proceeds will be earmarked for happy hour at the Tavern. These are the songs, all written by me. I know you will enjoy them:0)
1. Frazzled by Your Razzle Dazzle
2. Sailing Sailors of Topeega Bay
3. Fritters Made from Critters
4. Who Did This To My Teddy Bear?
5. Fred is My Companion
6. Y'all Into That??
7. A Cowboy at Windsor Castle
8. Getting Smashed at Amy's Wine House

13. Nothing Compares To Stu*
*Bonus track
Buy a few copies and give them away these upcoming holidays. They make a great stocking stuffer.
GOOF!!!! lol :)
So sorry to bother you again B.C., but I just read a report on Flaky Pharmaceutical magazine of a condition called Amnestic (amnesia) Catatonic Cerebral Degradation, which affects millions of people worldwide of advanced age. Although not life threatening, this condition if much more annoying to live with than Duplex Alphabet Syndrome or Borigner's Torpid Lingo and Mental Lassitude (remember these from the April 9th post on your other blog?). According to the article, some of the symptoms associated with this mental disorder are described as "complete incognizance and/ or inability to recollect the person you are addressing in any discourse." So you may actually be having a conversation face-to-face, over the phone or whatever with another individual, and instantaneously forget who you are addressing. Now that's kinda scary.
Some other symptoms include a strange interests in Arctic wildlife diplomacy; a compelling culinary desire for translucent chicken; and a ceasless letter writing campaign to convince Harry Truman to set the hostages free. There may even be moments in which an individual attempts to broker a truce between solid matter and empty space.
So if you're experiencing any of these symptoms, get yourself checked out, will ya? There are medications that physicians can prescribe to alleviate the symptoms of Amnestic (amnesia) Catatonic Cerebral Degradation, as well as an aggressive therapy that may include getting knocked upside the head with a two by four (very controversial). Just watching your back, blogger buddy!
"GOOF!!!" Hey, thanks Pete! :0)
well, hey there, A.D.
you know us folks of 'advanced age' usually have 'selective' Amnestic (amnesia) Catatonic Cerebral Degradation ... 'cause we're just too old to listen anymore!!! ;-)
i find that the sledgehammer works a bit better on the male of the species to bring then back to attention. :) although, i do see how a 2x4 could work on someone who is trying to broker a truce between solid matter and empty space. ha!!
Peace.
B.C.

PS... how do you know i'm older than you?

"i find that the sledgehammer works a bit better on the male of the species to bring then back to attention."
I agree with you, B.C. Males can be very dense.
Thank you for your support with the upcoming release of my CD. I guarantee these songs will tug at your heart strings.
Also, did you know that I'm an accomplished poet? I have a book coming out in early November that features some of my most successful rhymes ever. You can think of this collection of poems as my greatest literary hits with both pirates and extraterrestrials. Here's a quick snippet of one of my most famous poems:
"Oh Sanka, Babushka, Camille and Winter-Rose
If I catch you in my backyard
I will spray you with a hose.
Did you not attend the wedding
Of the groom and his lovely bride?
It was Ernie and Bert, from Sesame Street,
With big Bird by their side."
Ain't that a beaut? And to think this is just a mere sample of a larger work!
Anyway, take care, B.C., and the rest of your year will be quite poetic and musical all thanks to A.D.
I just noticed you have comment moderation on. Hope it's not because I was being too silly. Oh- oh.
Ok first of all Happy Belated Birthday and second of all I really enjoyed reading the comments on your post...lol.
comment moderation is only on for posts that are like 2 days old or more... 'cause of that hacking incident... not 'cause of you, Tom!!!
you're too funny :)

Whew! What a relief, B.C. I was going to write the individual responsible for the above comments a nasty email:0)
But ultimately I blame you - yes, YOU, B.C.- for encouraging the type of quackery I've been engaging in for the past two days. However, I'm not the type of guy who shies away from taking responsibility for his actions. In short, I shouldn't have let you let me get so out of hand. Shame on you.
BTW, I've developed an expression that I hope will catch on and someday become a famous Kentucky figure of speech. Here it is:
"That's just the way the toenails get clipped around here."
Isn't that awesome! Its sounds trivial, but at the same time there is something awfully truthful about it. I'll be there is someone in your life who is begging to get told "That's just the way the toenails get clipped around here."
Also, my greatest hits CD has been put on hold, since there is a song that contains lyrics that some people are a little upset over. Know this, B.C., it was NEVER my intention to offend anyone, so please don't think of me as a bad guy. The song with the controversy can be found on track #8: "Getting Smashed at Amy's Wine House." In the opening sequence of the number, I borrowed from another song and jokingly changed the lyrics in Ben E. Kings' tune Spanish Harlem from "There is a rose in Spanish Harlem" to "I bought some drugs in Spanish Harlem." Some people obviously (and justifiably) took offense to it. All I have to do is change the lyrics and the CD hits the shelves, so please don't panic.
My book of poems is till on schedule, however, and I've decided to amend it with a few of my most popular country/ western short stories. Here's an excerpt from Burnell Finds Metropolis.
"Burnell wasn't sure if the funny taste in his mouth was from this so-called bubble gum that was brought to him by the folks from the city to sample, or if the Elmer's Glue was finally starting to dry. The folks from the city were awfully hard to understand, especially when they spoke English."
That's all I'm saying about the story. I'm not giving it all away here otherwise you wont buy the book:0)
