ON this date in 2000 - In New York City, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum opened to the public.

The 42nd Street location joined Tussaud's other exhibitions already in London, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and Las Vegas.

The statues of Bun Man and Mr. Purple in the Time Travel portion of the museum were impeccable.

The guards didn't appreciate the statues because adoring lady fans kept trying to see if the Boyz were anatomically correct.

They were...

ON this date in 1945 - Ava Gardner and Artie Shaw were married.

Bun Man always thought this was an odd couple, but there have always been odd couples.

Mr. Purple simply said, "Just goes to show ya, a man who knows how to play and use his instrument can find a beautiful woman anytime."

Bun told him "Have you seen the pics of the native women in here, this is better than the bra and pantie section of the Sears Catalog."

Mr. P, still puzzled, replied "Dude, what's a Sears Catalog?"

Bun pondered and said to himself "References are lost on the young..."

ON this date in 1888 - The first issue of "National Geographic Magazine" was released at newsstands.

Bun Man was ecstatic over this release and he yelled to Mr. Purple "Jumpin' sakes a monkey..."

Mr. P was startled so he asked Bun what all the clamoring was about.

A psychic is buying

Morning Peeps,

Aww, memories of what we've done and who we've been...Sweet

At times, I DO look through my old photos...

I found a photo of myself from when I used to be a boxer.

If you turn it sideways it looks like I'm standing up.

Headed to my Gym Peeps, bike ride later and then we're getting some granite tops delivered for our outside area.

And I'm sure the Mikster will have thunk up some more projects by then also.
