I've decide that Ana is JoAnne (My Aunt) reincarnated befor her time.

Try to not imagine JoAnne singing this on a street corner in San Francisco.

I wish I could have been there with her.

God rest her soul... God knows she wouldn't... LOL

Is it me, or does Ana look a little tipsy on this one.

The Totally Un-Cool Cool Movie

Your kids will roll their eyes as if you were forced to watch "Cool Hand Luke," but then if you watch them as they watch the movie, you'll actually see their feet start to move and they'll be mad when you say it's time to go to bed when the movie is half-way over. The coolest stupid movie you'll ever see.

Have you talked to the Lucas inside you lately?

It's funny, but even if you were the coolest kid in school... you always had a little bit of Lucas in you... and you knew someone who was 100% Lucas... Have you tried to find either one lately?

If you have... congratulations... If not... Why not?

Another Danny's Song

This guy has a lot of potential, just needs some good tone control and he's there.

I love the raw sound of his voice, but he needs to get away from using "Oh," and "yeah" to fill a bridge with vocals.

I would hire him if he made a better stage presance... true, this is a YouTube video, but you sit on a stool on stage just the same.

By the way, sorry about the repeat of another posting, but you just get what i'm thinking about right now... Welcome to The Shadow Zone.... anybody want cookies?

My Future Daughter-In-Law

I can only hope that my boys will hook up with someone as talented as this.

Too bad the boys will only consider her a MILF... [Malinda.... reply after you get up off the floor from your brother's bad humor]

I hope that I can instill in my boys that love is more than a pretty face, but if they qualify, then the world is their oyster. I was lucky to follow my own advice.

When it comes to "The Perfect Woman," I would have to say that she has to have at least two of three criteria that follow...

Sense of Humor..... 40%
Intelligence....... 40%
Looks.............. 20%

OR

Talent............. 100%

My wife was the perfect choice...

She has more than 20% in looks, has my 75% of my sense of humor (which is a sad miracle as Malinda will attest)... and I think that covers my rules.

[An attempt was made to contact myself for comment on what I might have graded her in intelligence. Messages have not yet been returned due to the possibility that, no matter what my answer, it can be used against me in court.]

I can probably not reveal my government sources that tell me that I made the right choice for a wife, but I would really like to thank Cindee, Melody, and Malinda, as well as ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
and Larry Flynt.
Thank you all for all you do.

If my son finds a girl this talented, I might offer to contribute an extra cocktail per person at the rehearsal dinner.

.................................................................

Pastor: So, Dad, any advice for the groom?

Dad: [Opens Exit Door]
RUN!!!
.................................................................

That is my favorite memory of my wedding day.

Danny's Song

I now have to post an issue for my wife.... This is our song that was our "Pregnancy" song. When I listen to this song it always makes this "Grown Man" cry. I discovered today that I love my family more than life itself. I also discovered that when my wife is crying, I cannot think of anything else but solving the issue that makes her cry. It is always a sobering realization when you remind yourself that you love someone so much that you can get to the point of "insanity" to heal their pain. If you know me, it's ok to ask what I'm talking about... If you don't, it's ok to hug the closest person to you right now.

The Daily Doodle With A Twist

I have never been one that particularly likes public restrooms. They are gross and I just don't like doing my business in a group setting. Today's incident just sets that into stone.

I had barely sat down when I heard a voice from the other bathroom stall saying, "How are you?" I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine." And the other person said, "So what are you up to?"

(What kind of a question is that?)

At that point, I was thinking, "This is too bizarre," so I said, "Uh, I'm like you - just sittin' around."

At this point I was just trying to get out as fast as I could when I heard another question.

"Can I come over?"

O.K., this question was just too weird for me, but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I answered: "No. I'm a little busy right now."

Then I heard the person say, nervously: "Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the next stall who keeps answering all my questions."

Kitty and I contributed to the delinquency of a couple of minors today.

We played hookie with the boys in order to take them on a "Field Trip."

We attended the "Welcome Home a Hero" ceremony at DFW Airport this morning.

I took about 30 some-odd photos and will post a link to them on Friday night.Stupid me lost my cable to my camera that connects to my computer, and my media ports in my tower accepts every possible style of media card EXCEPT "xD"So I will have to wait until I got to work on Friday to upload the photos and then I'll give all the details.

Some hints, though, on what to expect when I DO post on Friday...

Zachary thinks he's a Commanding Officer.
Matthew discovered some new-found shyness.
Kitty likes men in uniform.
Tears came to my Pussy-fied eyes at one point.... I have always been a Macho F***ing Cryer... I hate it, but I am known to be able to kick your ass and in other cases, cry like a baby... how gay is that?

All the details will follow on Friday with PHOTOS.

Stay tuned...

Just a teaser... I have had neighbor that was a gulf war Vet, and after his experience, he needed some serious therapy.

This war is like nothing our boys have ever seen. I don't mean to be rude... but these guys deal with an enemy that has no qualms killing their own.

How do you fight an enemy like that?

We saw this in the eyes of these young men... they were just amazed to be home....

BRING OUR BOYS HOME AND LET THOSE MOTHER F****** KILL EACH OTHER... it is none of our business now... otherwise, turn that region into a waste-land. Have your 70 virgins all you want... I don't even know 70 virgins.

I especially would never be with 70 virgins, of whom their faces I would never see... Somehow, I think a distant cousin would slip in somewhere.

Carry On.

Welcome Home A hero

We will be taking the boys out of school tomorrow for a field trip to DFW airport to welcome home the newest wave of soldiers in Iraq coming home for R&R. Check back with us later for a report and photos. Check out this link on what this is all about

CBS, NBC Suspend Talk Show Host Don Imus for Two Weeks Over Racist Remarks

CBS, NBC Suspend Talk Show Host Don Imus for Two Weeks Over Racist Remarks

Click on the link above to see part of the Imus/Sharpton interview if you don't know what this is referencing.

I just have to say that Al Sharpton needs to clean up his own yard before he gripes about the weeds in his neighbor's.

I think that this is a typical "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" type of issue.
Al Sharpton even went so far as to reference Imus' reference to "jigaboos" that actually comes from a Spike Lee Movie.

WAIT !!! Last time I looked, Spike Lee was of the American-African (and yes, I mean to say American-African, so get used to it) but the last time I looked, Spike Lee was of the American-African persuasion.

American-African rap artists say much worse than what Imus said, yet Al Sharpton does not make a big stink about it. He says that he doesn't agree with it, but he never goes anywhere near trying to pull them down from their success pedestal.

I have never liked Imus. I thought he was arrogant and pompous and simply childish in a lot of ways. But you know what i did? I didn't listen.

See, this goes back to the old "There's two knobs on the radio... one to turn it off and one to change the station" analogy. We are a country of free speech, and no matter how much I disagree with someone's point of view or even the way they express their point of view, they still have a right to say it. I don't care who it offends. If it offends you, don't listen. Imus is not following you around the house talking to you and referring to "Nappy Headed Hos," he's sitting in his studio that broadcasts a signal to your radio... and you can shut him up with one of the two knobs you find there.

Secondly, the words "Nappy" and "Ho" are actually slang words that were created by the American-African community. You create the word, use it in everyday language, but you don't want me to say it, and you are offended when I do?

Screw you!

I believe that a great thing was done when the American-African community was acknowledged for being no worse or no better than any other race. But don't you dare start telling me how I should think or act or speak. I acknowledge your freedoms as my own, don't you dare try to hinder mine.

I have never, in my life, said a discouraging word to or about a person just because they were American-African. Now, if someone were an American-African and was an ass, then yes, i would treat them like an ass for being an ass, not because of the color of their skin.
I have never owned a slave.I have never made someone sit at the back of the bus or drink from a different water fountain or be served at the back door of a restaurant.

I don't owe you anything.

You should only expect the same thing from me as I expect from you.

Equal treatment.

I don't pitch a fuss when you throw out words, so put on a jacket or something because if you are going to go through life with skin no thicker than what you have now, then you are in for a world of hurt because I am not changing who I am to suit you.

You are my equal... and with that comes the responsibility to act like an equal and live up to the maturity standards of an adult and not go running to the teacher when little bobby calls you a poopy head.

So, to all the poopy heads out there, be they white, black, brown, or Neopolitan, tell Al Sharpton to stay out of this until he gets the same type of insulting language out of the media that Spike Lee and others of his persuasion put out there themselves. Better yet, let the "artists," of which there are very few these days no matter what the race, let them say what they want.

Let Imus say what he wants.

Let me say what I want.

Hell, Al, say what you want.

But for right now, I think what you're saying is bullshit, so... watch this... I'm changing the channel... I'm sure theres a charming episode of the Brady Bunch on somewh---
