YOU DO KNOW THAT...
Trump is going to sue the shite out of SNL for running with ,La.
ON this date in 1507 - Leonardo DaVinci was commissioned by the husband of Lisa Gherardini to paint her.
The work is known as the Mona Lisa.
One year to that date before, Bun Man had painted Mona w/ a smile.
Her husband was not pleased. Seems Mona had a gap between her two front teeth, and she was known to be able to spit watermelon seeds 20 feet.
Mona would have been a prized possession in Sussex County DE and parts of Missouri.
ON this date in 1998 - The live Bee Gees album "One Night Only" was released.
Little known fact, the Bee Gees actually got their idea for 'Night Fever' from watching Bun Man and Mr. Purple at a disco.
Bun had his platform shoes on, and Mr. Purple had his I-talian horn necklace on and they wowed the girls big time.
There were also unconfirmed reports Travolta got his inspiration by watching Bun Man dance...
How did we get to marriage here?
When the reviewers checked out Bun and P's resumes, the Boyz were taken aback when told they were just looking for dogs, not womanizer dawgs.
The Boyz left sad and dejected--so they hit the clubs (can't stay sad for long)

ON this date in 1957 - Sputnik II was launched by the Soviet Union.
It was the second manmade satellite to be put into orbit and was the first to put an animal into space, a dog named Laika.
The Boyz actually emigrated to the USSR prior to this event as they had heard the Russkies were looking for dogs.

Becky was the Bullfrog, I was just a little tadpole.
Well, yes, and I think the Mikster said something to you about the Huntsman Games here given your powerlifting prowess now.
REMEMBERING A GREAT TIME IN CHI TOWN
ON this date in 2016 - The Boyz and I bask in the glow of the Cubs' victory in the World Series, what a great team to watch, what a great heart to view, and what a great baseball memory for a lifetime...
Ah, remembering Fall Days back East...
This is a pic from our house looking out on Williams Pond, a pond we shared with another Naut...

IT'S FUNNY WE LOOK AT LIFE THAT WAY
Ken-Dogger: Hey Justus, that’s a look.
Justus: Well, I was wondering about clouds blocking the sun
KD: Clouds getting in your way?
J: Yes, and dreams and schemes and circus crowds
KD: It’s funny we look at life that way…
J: But now old friends are acting strange, they say I’ve changed
KD: Today, a lot will change…
J: It’s life’s illusions we’ll recall, we really don’t know life at all.
(Homage to Joni M)
Ken-Dogger: What cha’ doing?
Rocco: I’m bending these bananas, it’s strength.
KD: A test? Did you know Gandhi once said, “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
R: Indomitable will? Well, you’ve seen what I’ve done thus far.
KD: Umm, bananas are already bent some, how much WILL was necessary?
R: Strength gave me capacity, but it was WILL which pushed me through.
KD: I think we need both, we just need to summon them at the same time.

Morning Peeps,
Teach 'em the Best You Can...
Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
There is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
When you teach the children teach em the very best you can
H.M & the B.N.
As for me, I WILL KEEP PLAYING

Lived with a Cuban woman in the 90s, that's the only phrase I remember, other than Tu sabes
ON this date in 1937 - The play "I'd Rather be Right" opened in New York City.
The totally awesome play was written by budding playwrights Bun Man and Mr. Purple.
The stellar cast turned out to be all-FEMALE.
The Boyz tried casting MALES for some roles, but they just really didn't seem convincing in the parts.

Donde esta la playa
ON this date in 1721 - Peter the Great (Peter I), ruler of Russia, changed his title to emperor.
Hearing this and not to be outdone, Bun Man, ruler of the West African nation of Neverenuftiti, took counsel from his chief aide, Mr. Purple. Bun's new name would be Papadoc, Emperor for Life, DaDa.
This worked until that fiendish Duvalier in Haiti stole Bun's name in the 21st century...
