ON this date in 1568 - Bun Man's main squeeze at the time, Mary, Queen of Scots, went on trial in England.

She was accused of conspiring against Queen Elizabeth I.

Mary was beheaded the following February.

Mr. Purple had warned him about his affectations w/ Mary.

This would start centuries where women would have serious issues working for other women.

But then Mr. Purple started filling Bun in on the 'real work' and Bun soon found that it was not as high a calling as he originally thought.

Bun did spend 2 days at LAX w/ the Hare Krishnas giving out M&Ms for peace, so he did have that going for him...

PEACE CORPS V2

ON this date in 1960 - U.S. presidential candidate John F. Kennedy first suggested the idea of a Peace Corps.

When Bun Man first heard this, he was ready to volunteer immediately.

Seems Bun remembered all those National Geographic mags w/ those naked pics of African women and he thought there might be some additional bennies to this foray.

Somewhat DARK

ON this date in 1960 - U.S. presidential candidate John F. Kennedy first suggested the idea of a Peace Corps.

I looked around and there was Bun Man snickering in the corner.

Thinking I shouldn't, but what the hell, I did, I asked him why the snicker as Mr. Purple and I were dying to know.

Bun, catching his breath through the snickering, said "If this were today, the Donald would be suggesting a Piece Corps..."

Mr. P said, "Yea, staffed by his former abused women..."

Dems have to do better about

STOPPING THE STEAL

before an election.

ON this date in 1967 - Pat Boone, the owner of the Oakland Oaks, sang the national anthem at the first game of the new American Basketball Association.

That afternoon, he asked world-renown tenors Bun Man and Mr. Purple to join him for this momentous occasion.

The Boyz began by singing "On a day like today, we pass the time away..." rather than "O say can..."

Pat busted up, but only a few in the crowd got the reference.

October 13th used to be NO BRA DAY

Is it still?

Asking for my friend Fingers...

Oh yeah, I'm from Missouri

Show me those babies...

Bun replied, taken aback by being called Willis by his bestest buddy P, but anyway, he said "I mean if this dude were still alive today, he'd be a viable President candidate for some people."

Mr. P added, "Yea, demented people..."

ON this date in 1995 - Tupac Shakur was released from jail after 8 months.

The charges were for groping and fondling a woman in a New York hotel room.

Bun Man turned to Mr. P and said "See, I told you the dude was ahead of his time..."

Mr. P replied, "What you talking about Willis?"

Ken-Dogger: A flower Cleo?
Cleo: Yea Boy…I’m bringing you one.
KD: And why is that?

KD: Well, relationships grow and they change dynamics
C: I want to sing songs again, play again, all the stuff we did when flowers were fresh.
KD: I miss that too…
C: Hence the Flower Bro, heed the Flowers life gives ya…

Morning Peeps,

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS HOMERS EVER

ON this date in 1960 (I was 10 at the time) - The World Series ended on a home run for the first time.

Bill Mazurowski's homerun allowed the Pirates to beat the Yankees.

I actually watched this on TV while at my cub scout meeting w/ Bun Man and Mr. Purple at Mrs. Crosby's house in Nanticoke Annex.

At the time, I was a Yank fan but never during the Steinbrenner era.

Gotta work Peeps

Enjoy your Saturday
