ON this date in 2013, Bun Man just asked me, on the eve of the Super Bowl no less, why isn't there a Lingerie Football Fantasy League?

Mr. Purple just leaned over to the Dude and said, "There is, it's always playin' in your head, Man."

I thought, how righteous, the Dude does abide...

ON this date in 1957 - Fats Domino sang "Blueberry Hill" and "Blue Monday" on the "Perry Como Show" on television.

Fats had stolen the song Blueberry Hill after overhearing Bun and Purple rap about some of their recent conquests.

Purple was saying "Though we're apart, You're part of me still; For you were my thrill,
On Blueberry Hill."

Bun said "Purple blueberries, gotta wipe that visual out..."

Our trade gap with China is down 6.7% (largely based on their taste for American cars — see above), our trade gap with Japan is down 8.4% and our trade gap with the European Union has dropped a whopping 29.4%.

3/3

The trade gap has fallen 12.9% to $34.3 billion as Obama’s policies have made American products and services more available abroad, while Americans are increasingly buying more domestic products. The trade imbalance is now lower than at any time since the beginning of the recession, and the off-shoring of American jobs has (finally) slowed to a trickle.

WE OFTEN FORGET

But, this is where the US was economically 10 years ago, you know, before those Repub Tax Cuts...

The United States is now producing more oil than we import. Our overall trade deficit is at a four year low, as imported oil continues to decline. GM, Ford and Chrysler are all chugging along nicely, no thanks to a unified Republican/Tea party, who were eager to sacrifice 2 million American jobs on their altar of Obama Derangement Syndrome.

and the wives all made crazy cute gaa-gaa sounds when their husbands entered their presence.

Mr. Purple told Bun Man "This alignment only happens once every 400 years, don't get used to this treatment..."

ON this date in 1962 - The 8th and 9th planets aligned for the first time in 400 years.

Scientists Bun Man and Mr. Purple were on hand to witness this interstellar event.

The Boyz reported that on this day all across America, every single married couple got along famously; they made love all day and all night long; the husbands all made breakfast in bed; ...

From Ancestry.Com... Madden Name Meaning

Irish (Galway): shortened Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Madáin ‘descendant of Madán’, a reduced form of Madadhán, from madadh ‘dog’ (see Madigan).

Dog?

I come by it naturally, Woof, Woof...

Most of us here aren't keen on the dreaded Facebook, but I do like their memory page. Tells me where I've been...

Like this post from 2018...

Starting to sense some haunting similarities between Afghanistan now and 'Merica in 5 to 10 years where the national government controls the cities and leaves the hinterlands to the America's Taliban, the Far Right and Fox&Friends...

The similarities have only become more pronounced.

PREDICTIVE PUPS????

Ken-Dogger: Cochise, what is that?
Cochise: Dude, you're the adult, but I'm thinking it's my shadow...
KD: Get back inside...quickly, did anyone see you?
C: Why all this stealth?
KD: Cochise, it's Groundhog Day, shadow seeing means more winter, and frankly, I've had enough
C: Dude, you know that's a myth...
KD: Myth or Myther, I don't care what their sex is, I don't want more winter
C: I'm hip...

LICKING4WP

Ken-Dogger: Hey Fluffie, you just hangin’ this morning?
Fluffie: Yes and listening to the quiet.
KD: It is creepily quiet anymore isn’t it?
F: I don’t often hear random conversations anymore, not that I did a lot before, but you did.
KD: IKR, peeps don’t seem to share thoughts now.
F: Well, it doesn’t seem safe, world needs to tone down.
KD: What are we going to do about it?
F: I’m gonna continue licking, it’s my effort for World Peace.
KD: Lick On, Fluffie, lick on.

Quote: “This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.”

Bill Murray enthusiastically wishes all of you a Happy Groundhog Day.

Sometimes, you have to figure out how to make things work...

I have a perfect understanding with my wife, the Mikster...

I don't try to run her life, and I also don't try to run mine!!

It's February 2nd, Puxatawney Phil didn't see his shadow (who knows really?) which means 6 more weeks of watching Cognitive Decline in Presidential Candidates.

It's a RACE, just not in the direction you're thinking.

Morning Peeps,

IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT

Historybook: New Amsterdam (present-day New York) becomes a city (1653); First Groundhog Day celebrated (1887); First Groundhog Day celebrated (1887); First Groundhog Day celebrated (1887); HBD Shakira (1977); RIP Hollywood legend Gene Kelly (1996); Philip Seymour Hoffman dies of drug overdose (2014).

"You should be serious about what you do because this is it—this is the only life you've got."

- Philip Seymour Hoffman

ON this date in 1900 - Eastman Kodak Co. introduced the $1 Brownie box camera.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, members of the innovation team, told Mr. Eastman this was just the start of what they could create in film, and they were sure others would innovate further.

Sure enough, years later, my sister Eileen would turn a Brownie into a pocketbook--it was a masterpiece.

ON this date in 1994 - Jeff Gillooly pled guilty in Portland, OR, for his role in the attack on skater Nancy Kerrigan. Gillooly, Tonya Harding's ex-husband, struck a plea bargain under which he confessed to racketeering charges in exchange for testimony implicating Harding.

Boxing impresarios, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, seizing opportunity from tragedy, offered Tonya a spot on their fighting card.

What the Boyz didn't realize was the Kerrigan affair was Tonya's 15 minutes of fame, not boxing.

Bun said "What is pornographic?"

Purple replied "must have been the part where we say 'me think of girl, constantly.'"

Bun said, "Oh yeah, like that doesn't happen unless we sing it."
