Their wives, Upper East Side socialites (old money) Bunny and Babs Humptydumpt, beat upon their head repeatedly.

The wives said, "What do you think you're doing making it easy for those Brooklynites to get over here."

The Boyz couldn't find a time portal fast enough this time...

ON this date in 1900 - Mayor Van Wyck of New York broke ground on the New York subway tunnel that would link Manhattan w/ Brooklyn.

The Boyz were caught quite unaware when they returned home.

STILL MY GUIDING LIGHT FOR VOTING...

THOUGHT EXPERIMENT...

Ask yourself what American resources and Earth resources you want for your children and your children's children, and then see which Presidential candidate's policies and platform come closest to getting you there.

Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die, it seemed so funny to me...

REMEMBERING WHEN WE HUNKERED DOWN, SOME OF US ANYWAY

Ken-Dogger: Hey Herbie, what’s going on?
Herbie: Glad you’re holding me bro…
KD: Yes, the touching and holding feels good doesn’t it?
H: Yes…wow, there’s still a lot of activity going on.
KD: I know, people are making major adjustments to their lives
H: Doesn’t happen overnight does it, but it does fray the nerves
KD: Hopefully, the fraying lessens soon, but the hunkering continues...

Cogent post-election analysis beginning to emerge from Russia...

Clay Bennett's Portrait of America...

Or maybe just revisiting that pesky ol' State Rights thingie.

ON this date in 1775 - After carousing w/ fellow colonists Bun Man and Mr. Purple, American revolutionary Patrick Henry declared, "give me liberty, or give me death!" in the House of Burgesses in Richmond.

The Boyz knew Patrick was talking about the current state of his marriage, but when they all saw what a rallying cry it was for the legislative body, they quickly decided to leave well enough alone.

ON this date in 1743 - Handel's Messiah was performed for the first time in London.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were in attendance and were very 'moved' by the performance.

When the Hallelujah Chorus began, the Boyz spontaneously stood up.

Since they were in the box next to King George II, the King stood also.

Thus began the tradition of standing whenever one hears the Hallelujah Chorus sung.

THE BOYZ...ALWAYS TRENDSETTERS!!

What was I saying 'bout a VW tour bus?

So, Jim didn't go and neither did the Boyz, but the very next night Bun Man built a campfire and burned all his Lettermen Albums (peeps, we had vinyl records back then).

Bun had the last laugh because he secretly kept his Best of Bread 8-track tape hidden in the VW tour bus.

2/2

Baby I'ma want you...

ON this date in 1969 - Anita Bryant and the Lettermen appeared at a "Rally For Decency" in Miami following Jim Morrison's indecent exposure onstage there.

The Doors' managers, Bun Man and Mr. Purple wanted Jim to attend the rally as the 'decent' thing to do.

Jim replied, "The most decent thing I could do for Anita is not attend."

Just as Bun Man finished relating the story, Mr. Stevens happened upon the idea of the crushing mill and, don't ya know, production increased by 70 percent.

(WARNING: LADIES DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, THESE ARE PROFESSIONALS...)

2/2

ON this date in 1880 - John Stevens patented the grain crushing mill.

The mill increased flour production by 70 percent.

Apparently, John was in full discovery mode when his pals Bun Man and Mr. Purple came by the lab one day.

Bun Man had just witnessed a wife, a noted ball-crusher, get her husband to achieve significant results after she grabbed his jewels and squeezed realllll hard.

KD: YOU need a break?

R: We ALL need a respite at times.

KD: Let’s work on balancing things, body doubles are for the gilded.
