Dude, I felt the concussion from the blast; made my clothes pop. I look up, and there's this great big chunk of earth just hangin' around in the sky! In Scotland, they build roads over and around mountains, in the Appalachians, they just blast through, straight and level.

My wifes lovely standard poodles are right villains when it comes to grooming. All dogs have their wee peccadilloes.

They updated the "Colonel" logo about ten years ago, trying to make him look more "virile."

Soon as it thaws. Once, I had a package delivered wrongly to a neighbor. The roads were all snowy and FUBAR, so I grabbed one of the kids bikes and pedaled over there. My knees felt like they were about my ears on that thing, but I got the package.

Twelve years ago today, the Highway Dept. was blasting to put in a new road behind our house and they put a seismograph next to our back porch. I was stood there gawking at it when BOOOOOOM!!! Defo a code brown moment.

In Trailer Park Boys, the openly gay Trailer Park supervisor Jim Lahey introduces himself, (quite drunkenly), to a woman as "Jim Lahey, at your cervix!"

She's a nurse from a Czech town called Trebon. There's a commemorative plaque to her "resistance" though the exact amount of her victims aren't documented, and was often misrepresented as syphilis, it did happen.

Your mom has three weenies in her. Just like that corn dog. Hope that helps.

I've all ready had my first "ICE is coming to get me" nightmares. I was around in the sixties. This shit never ends. Britain is NOT safe. Don't be complacent, or the next thing you know, it'll be you having the nightmares. Your politicians might not do you the courtesy of being stupid like ours.

I'm rather fond of Psychedelic Jukebox. It streams sixties and early 70s music, but the thing is, I can listen to it for hours and only have heard about a quarter of the music they play before. So much is new music, to me. They'll devote a whole day to garage bands. Might be worth a try.

I dropped out and joined the Navy Band about two and a half years in. Once I twigged how much more money I'd make as a Navy musician compared to a starting band directors salary, it was all over.
