HUMOR MEDICINE
A sudden change of mind
My Dearest Susan, Sweetie of my heart. I've been so desolate ever since I broke off our engagement. Simply devastated.
Won't you please consider coming back to me?
You hold a place in my heart no other woman can fill. I can never marry another woman quite like you. I need you so much.
Won't you forgive me and let us make a new beginning? I love you so.
Yours always and truly, John.
P.S. Congratulations on winning the state lottery.
The Boyz gave the finger to Gleason upon their departure; Bobby Darin went on to write 'Simple Song of Freedom' later that year.
Beyond the Sea is one of The Boyz' and my fave movies, and hey, The Boyz got to hang out w/ Sandra Dee...

ON this date in 1969 - Bobby Darin walked off the set of the "Jackie Gleason Show" when he was not allowed to sing "Long Line Rider."
Heavily influenced by his new co-writers, the erstwhile hippies Bun Man and Mr. Purple, Bobby wrote this song after the disappearance of 3 prisoners from the Cummins Farm prison in Arkansas.

BLESS THE 13TH AMENDMENT
ON this date in 1865 - After tireless negotiation by Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple, the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
It was ratified by the necessary number of states on December 6, 1865.
The amendment abolished slavery in the United States.
It was a banner day for America.
CURIOUSLY, THIS IS ALSO THE DATE WHEN USA RACISM WENT UNDERGROUND.
SAPIENCE...
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
ON this date in 2000 - John Rocker (Atlanta Braves) was suspended from major league baseball for disparaging foreigners, homosexuals and minorities in an interview published by Sports Illustrated.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple had followed the story and were horrified by its content and hatred.
Mr. Purple asked Bun "What do ya think this dude will do next?"
Bun Man replied..."probably join the NRA!"
Morning Peeps,
As a reminder, the natural kingdom ain't civil, are we asking too, too much of Humans?
Wrote this four years ago, which by the way was 2020...
Here's the thing about Trump and bending the arc of justice to his will, it will never, ever make him feel adequate.
AND THIS CONTINUES TO BE TRUE...
Continuing with some faves

American Woman
ALARMIN'...
Caught Bun Man and Mr. Purple shooting a vid down in the basement w/ Bon Qui Qui...
The Boyz were takin' her up on having it 'their way'; I had to call Se-kur-i-tee on 'em 5 times...
Finally, I just took a bucket of water to 'em--got most of the affected area.
SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT CONGRESS 6...
ON this date in 1964 - January 30 - The U.S. launched Ranger 6. The unmanned spacecraft carried television cameras and was intentionally crash-landed on the moon. The cameras did not return any pictures to Earth.
Hearing this and somewhat smirking, Bun Man turned to Mr. Purple and said "Hell, they should have called it Congress 6, they have cameras which provide coverage of their boring selves while congressmen intentionally crash-land any U.S. progress."
Reading this, Mr. Purple turns to me and Bun and says "So, today's shenanigans by both parties appear to be nothing new; we've been doing this stuff since at least 1798."
Bun Man piped up "It only seems more stark now because that Variety Show on Fox (suspiciously called FOX Morning News) keeps playin' it that way..."

USA HISTORY
ON this date in 1798 – A brawl broke out in the House of Representatives in Philadelphia.
Matthew Lyon of Vermont spat in the face of Roger Griswold of Connecticut, who responded by attacking him with a hickory walking stick.
Lyon was re -elected congressman while serving a jail sentence for violating the Sedition Acts of 1798.

IT'S IN THE CHA CHA CHA
I think I might write to the Smithsonian and request they establish a new US exhibit, and just call it IRONY.
No matter how old you get, when someone calls your parents by their first name, it still startles you...
