ON this date in 1973 - Albert Sabin reported that herpesviruses were factors in nine kinds of cancer.
A fact which Bun Man & Mr. Purple used when they penned the script for Beverly Hills Cop and used the line..."
Tell Victor that Ramon - -the fella he met about a week ago? - -tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today, and I found out that I have, um, herpes simplex 10, ...

Mr. P said this was a natural fit.
He told us "Hey, our girls always tell us we are 'rough riders' so I think this new military unit may be just our cup of tea..."
Those Boyz, spanning reality one story at a time...

ON this date in 1898 - Spain declared war on the U.S., rejecting America's ultimatum for Spain to withdraw from Cuba.
Cub reporters for William Randolph Hearst, Bun Man and Mr. Purple were already in Havana.
The Boyz, skeptical of the war's start due to their familiarity w/ Hearst's shenanigans, soon left and returned to the states to join up w/ Teddy Roosevelt.

ON this date in 1916 - Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rebellion against British occupation forces.
They were overtaken several days later.
Reading this, Bun Man turned to Mr. P and me and said, "At least they fought against this oppression, you all now just sit back and let Big Money, Big Oil, and the Koch Brothers steal the American Dream from you."
Reflecting, the dude does have a point...
ALTERING THE VIEW
Ken-Dogger: Hey guys, what ya doing?
Rex: We're doing some experimenting...
KD: Experimenting, tell me more...
Tex: Well, we were discussing perspective last evening around the fire
R: Yea, we thought what would cause one's perspective to change?
T: And we found that when you alter your view, your perspective changes...
KD: Damn, I believe you're on to something...
T&R: We think so...
Morning Peeps,
Maybe some smart entrepreneur starts to look at how commerical real estate can be used in novel ways and will promote a place/cafe where the theme is simply CONVERSATIONS
We're going to need to teach this as most peeps, after encountering an opposing view now, either shy away from the conversation or the talk becomes more heated than it should...
Maybe we need to 're-barbershop' America...
OR MAYBE WE JUST LET 'EM IN ON WHAT IS COSO.
Historybook: English playwright William Shakespeare dies (1616); Hollywood legend and diplomat Shirley Temple born (1928); American punk rock band Ramones release first album (1976); Workers’ rights leader Cesar Chavez dies (1993); The first video is uploaded on YouTube (2005).
"Be brave and clear. Follow your heart and don't be overly influenced by outside factors. Be true to yourself."
- Shirley Temple Black

And where else can you drop off your senior citizen buds to do their daily walking?
The way Retail is going with bankruptcies and cities with vacant commercial properties,
I'm wondering when we'll see the first US Museum dedicated to those bygone SHOPPING MALLS?

HAIL TO THE GARTER!!
ON this date in 1348 - The first English order of knighthood was founded.
It was the Order of the Garter.
Commoners Bun Man and Mr. Purple, rebuked by Merlin's sword, suddenly now found themselves thrust into prominence.
Seems their garter collection brought them fame, fortune and a Knighthood.
Who would have thought being a wedding crasher of the middle ages would have brought such glory?
HAIL TO THE GARTER!!
ON this date in 1759 - The British seized Basse-Terre and Guadeloupe in the Antilles from France.
Shared this event w/ the Boyz who are keen foreign policy pundits. Bun Man turned to me and said "Perhaps the next time American men in power feel the twinge of imperialism, we should seize Bali or Tahiti or some other celeb fab island rather than getting mucked down in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan who are going to go back to how they were after we leave anyway..."
The Boy has a point...
