The Cowbell Really Does Make The Band

Tiffany-Wears-the-Cow-Belt_photo_medium

(Photo stolen from bobandtom.com because I have never been close enough to a female mummy cowbeller to get a picture of my own...)

This is Tiffany playing the cowbell during a recent on-air concert by Here Come The Mummies on the Bob and Tom Show.

Below is a video clip of them doing "Attack Of The Weiner Man" but sadly Tiffany is not on the cowbell....

There should be a Cowbeller's Union or something...

 

A Cowbell player in every band!

It's A Dogs Life.

We really should get Lola a bigger bed.  Oh... Wait she's just chillin' here half in the dog bed while Dream Girl stalks people on the Internet, waiting for the opportunity to stake her claim to the middle of the people bed.

What's For Lunch?

We eat at a few buffets at lunch time. I never know what I will choose from the cornucopia of offerings at the local Chinese, Thai, Korean or American home style buffets.

Regardless of  where we decide to masticate I know without question what I will not be eating.

lunch

I do not eat ANYTHING that has or had tentacles. I don't even want to eat anything from the general area where tentacled creatures are served, so today I couldn't even have beef fried rice or wantons because they were beside these suckers.

I'm pretty sure my dislike of these creatures dates back to a viewing of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea at a young age.

If they aren't completely dead they could shinny back up your throat with those miniature toilet plungers.

The only thing worse than Squids or Octopuses would be one dressed as a clown.

As a side note: Is Octopuses the plural form of Octopus or is it just a group of whiney Octopie.... ewwwwww..... that lends itself to thoughts of tentacles bursting through the top crust of a pie.... okay that's worse than the "dressed like a clown" thing.....

 

Nasty just nasty.....

The Great Blizzard Of Aught Nine

I took these on Christmas Eve 2009 between 11:00am and 1:00pm

When it snows in Lawton it looks like a battle zone… so many people that haven’t ever seen snow much less driven in it… 

The wind was about 30mph with gusts to 60mph ice then snow.

Recipe for disaster.

You would think that a comet was headed for earth the way these people take to the street for no good reason at all.

Must get to Wally World it is open after all….

I was only out in it because we worked to get a customers car finished, then we had to get home.

The Camel Toes Are Here... The Camel Toes Are Here

I stopped by Polar Donuts in Oklahoma City yesterday to pick up my special ordered Camel Toe Donuts.

For those of you in the Metro the address is:

Polar Donuts
1111 North Meridian Avenue
Oklahoma City, OK 73107-5772

The counter girl was boxing them up as I walked in. I took them straight to the truck and opened them up so I could get a good look at the Unicorn of the pastry world. They were still warm and glistening with sweetness.

That is when I noticed that not only had they made them special for me, they had gone the extra mile.

You see... the Camel Toes I have seen in the past looked like this:

camel 023a2

Beautiful but kind of plain. If you can call a Camel Toe plain.

What I found in this batch though was that when you pick up that plain looking Camel Toe and spread those toes wide you find that the donut guy spiced them up for me a little with a little surprise. These are not your everyday run of the mill Camel Toes... These are quite special.

As the toes spread wide, the moist, pink, sticky inside is reveled.

Top five things to do with a Camel Toe Donut:

#5 - Straddle the Camel Toe over a pencil or pointer, letting it "ride" around the office till the goo gets on the floor.

#4 - Hang the Camel Toe out the window of a moving car so that it whistles.

#3 - Leave the Camel Toe in the sun on a beach or pool chair, the inside will become warm and molten and the outside will become wet and sticky to the touch.

#2 - Keep a Camel Toe on the seat of your bicycle. The oils in the Camel Toe will keep the leather supple and the filling will keep it smelling great.

#1 - Slide your tongue inside the Camel Toe and then suck it dry.

Tender, thinly sliced steak, cheese, pickles, mild jalapeno peppers and a light marinara sauce.

CAMEL TOES !!!!!!!

Is this a great country or what? I just got off the phone with my donut dealer in Oklahoma City and I ordered a dozen Camel Toes for pickup when I'm in the city on the 22nd.

Our conversation:

Dealer -  How can I help you?

Me - A while back I stopped in and picked up some camel toes. Do you still have them.

Dealer - I make them to order now. How many would you like?

Me -  Umm (like I can ask him to make just one...) How about a dozen.

Dealer - No problem, I'm going to put you on speaker so my cashier can take your order.

Female Cashier - What can I get for you?

Me - I need a dozen Camel Toes.

Female Cashier - Excuse me?

Dealer - (over the sound of laughter from, I can only assume, other customers) You know the ones that look like two knuckles... you know the ones... Just write it down and take his name and phone number.

This should prove interesting.  Photos in the near future...

I wonder if I can get them with sprinkles???

What were we thinking? It had to be the drugs.

I give the music of the 80's, 90's and on a hard time but I must admit we did go wrong in the 70's occasionally. What were we thinking when we elevated these songs to "Hit" status?

I am so ashamed. Don't get me wrong, the 70's still has the best music by far but I must admit that it wasn't all great. Funny thing is I knew most of the words to these songs and was tapping my foot as they played today. I couldn't help myself. Ashamed, ashamed I say.

I even danced to "Play That Funky Music" in my office a few minutes ago.

Back in the day, I and some other guys from our church youth group learned an entire routine to the song and dressed in cheerleader costumes for a church Valentines day banquet. (At least that's what I think it was for...)

Guys dressed in drag dancing to Wild Cherry... I guess you could say we were a progressive Baptist church...

As far as the dancing today... I blame it on the mixture of antibiotics, Theraflu and cough medicine as I try to cure this latest case of Ebola I have contracted.
