OTIS CAMPBELL WASN'T A DRUNK - HE DIDN'T HAVE STASHES OF BOOZE, HE HAD STASHES OF 40% BRAN FLAKES
OTIS CAMPBELL HAS BEEN PAINTED AS BEING A DRUNKEN OLD FOOL.
IN TRUTH, THE POOR MAN WAS SUFFERING FROM COLON PROBLEMS.
THE BUILDUP OF HIS BODY'S TOXIC WASTES PRODUCED HIS CRAZY "DRUNKEN" DEMEANOR.
PEOPLE ASSUMED HE WAS HIDING BOOZE THROUGHOUT HIS HOME.
HOW WRONG THEY WERE - HE WAS HIDING 40% BRAN FLAKES.
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT ASSUME THINGS
IT MAKES AN ASS OUT OF U & ME

A QUAINT 1959 ANIMATED SOUTHERN SENATOR WHO PREFERS QUAKER PUFFED CEREAL, OVER THE DOLLAR SIGN SHAPED CEREAL
IN 1959, A SOUTHERN SENATOR MIGHT HAVE PREFERRED QUAKER PUFFED WHEAT - HOW QUAINT.
IN 2013, A TYPICAL GOPee SENATOR WOULD PREFER EATING A "RICH MAN" CEREAL.
GOPee SENATORS TEND TO HAVE AN ORGASMIC LOVE OF MONEY, OR CEREAL SHAPED LIKE MONEY.
THE 2013 ERA CEREAL WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A NAME CHANGE - POSSIBLY, "MITT ROMNEY" CEREAL.
__________________________________________________________________________
THIS COMMERCIAL HAS SENATOR HAYES ENJOYING A BOWL OF QUAKER PUFFED WHEAT.
A YOUNG SENATE PAGE TRIES TO CONVINCE HAYES TO EAT THE "RICH MAN" CEREAL.
THE "RICH MAN" CEREAL HAS CEREAL BITS IN THE SHAPE OF DOLLAR SIGNS.
SENATOR HAYES SEEMS TO BE DISGUSTED BY THE DOLLAR SIGN CEREAL.
THIS COMMERCIAL IS SO 1950's QUAINT - A SENATOR WHO DISDAINS DOLLAR SIGN CEREAL.
SENATOR HAYNES LOVES THE NATURAL TASTE OF PUFFED WHEAT CEREAL.
__________________________________________________________________________
TIME TRAVEL TO 2013:
HAYES WOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THE GOP PLAYGROUND - KARL ROVE'S PLAYGROUND.
SUPPOSEDLY, THE GOPee GOES TO KARL'S PLAYGROUND TO ROLL NAKED IN GREENBACKS.
RICH "FRIENDS" OF THE NRA, BANKS & OIL LIKE TO "LEND" DOLLARS FOR "PLAYTIME."
ORGASMIC PLAYTIME WITH DOLLAR BILLS = GOPeeeee LOVE OF MONEY.
__________________________________________________________________________
THE ANIMATED SENATOR IS GIVING AN IMPROMPTU ORATORICAL SPEECH TO THE LAD
HE TELLS HIM THAT THE OTHER CEREALS ARE UNNATURAL.
QUAKER OATS PUFFED WHEAT & RICE CEREAL ARE 100% NATURAL
FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT, I HAVE POSTED THE COMMERCIAL BELOW.

THE NIGHT THAT SIX MEN SERENADED JACK BENNY, WHILE HE WAS IN HIS ROBE, AND STANDING ON HIS BEDROOM BALCONY
IF THE HEADLINE FOR THIS POST DIDN'T CATCH YOUR ATTENTION - I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.
THE HEADLINE IS TECHNICALLY TRUE, BUT IT WAS DONE FOR A TEXACO COMMERCIAL.
JACK BENNY WAS A MASTER AT DRY HUMOR - HUMOR FOR THE INTELLIGENT MIND.
THIS COMMERCIAL WAS DONE COMPLETELY STRAIGHT FACED, BUT IT WAS VERY FUNNY.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
THE FICTIONAL JACK BENNY WAS A NOTORIOUS CHEAPSKATE, AS OPPOSED TO THE REAL JACK.
THE CHEAPSKATE WOULD ONLY BUY 1 GALLON OF TEXACO GAS.
OF COURSE, THAT IS AN IMPROVEMENT - HE USED TO ONLY BUY A PINT OF GASOLINE.
THE TEXACO ATTENDANTS DESPERATELY WANT JACK BENNY TO FILL UP HIS TANK.
THE GUYS COMPOSE A "JACK BENNY LOVE SONG" TO CONVINCE HIM TO FILL UP.
THE FIRST LINE: "WON'T YOU FILL UP, JACK BENNY? WON'T YOU FILL UP?"
____________________________________________________________________________________
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO POSTED BELOW - DONE BY A MASTER COMEDIAN.
(VIDEO SCREEN SHOT #1)
6 ACTORS PLAYING TEXACO ATTENDANTS ARE SINGING A TEXACO "LOVE SONG" TO JACK

I THINK I HAVE UNCOVERED 3 UNPUBLISHED CHILDHOOD PICTURES OF GEORGE W. BUSH (TONGUE FIRMLY PLACED INSIDE MY CHEEK)
A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT "W" IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING A GENIUS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT "W" IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING A MORON.
I BELIEVE I HAVE EVIDENCE OF "W"'s SUPPOSED BRAIN DAMAGE.
__________________________________________________________________________
THE STORK SUPPOSEDLY WRAPPED "W" IN CELLOPHANE, ON HIS DAY OF BIRTH.
THE STORK MADE A BAD DECISION, WHEN RAIN WAS FORECAST ON JULY 6, 1946.
THE STORK MEANT WELL, BUT THE LACK OF OXYGEN PRODUCED BAD RESULTS.
THE LACK OF OXYGEN SUPPOSEDLY CAUSED "W"'s "SLOWNESS"
"W" SUPPOSEDLY WASN'T 100% BRAIN DAMAGED.
"W" WAS SUPPOSEDLY SLIGHTLY "DIFFERENT" WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP.
__________________________________________________________________________
THE CONNECTICUT NATIVE LOVED TO PRETEND TO BE A ROUGH-TOUGH COWBOY.
IN REALITY, HE WAS THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF BEING A ROUGH-TOUGH HOMBRE.
UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY CHEERLEADER PICTURES OF "W".

POSSIBLE "W" CHILDHOOD PICTURE.

I JUST HEARD ABOUT JONATHAN WINTERS PASSING AWAY - 3 DAYS AFTER HIS PASSING
MY TRIBUTE TO JONATHAN WINTERS IS THREE DAYS LATE.
I JUST LEARNED OF HIS PASSING SUNDAY NIGHT.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I REALLY ENJOYED JONATHAN WINTERS, SIMPLY BECAUSE HE WAS 100% CHILDLIKE.
BEING PERPETUALLY CHILDLIKE IS MY AMBITION IN LIFE.
I NEVER REALLY LOVED HIS COMEDY, PER SE - I PREFER ROBIN WILLIAMS.
(YEAH, I KNOW THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR, BUT NOT 100% ALIKE)
I DID LOVE HIS ABILITY TO MIMIC, OR IMPERSONATE A "TYPE" OF PERSON.
I JUST DIDN'T CONSIDER HIS MIMIC ABILITY AS BEING PARTICULARLY HILARIOUS.
I GUESS I FELT HE WAS MILDLY HUMOROUS, AND I FELT HE WAS DEFINITELY A GENIUS AT MIMICRY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE CLAIM THAT HE WAS A HILARIOUS COMEDIAN.
I THINK PEOPLE SAY THAT HE WAS HILARIOUS, SIMPLY BECAUSE OTHERS SAY HE WAS HILARIOUS.
PEOPLE USUALLY HATE BEING ON THE OUTSIDE - THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF THE CROWD.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
AS A CONNOISEUR OF ADVERTISING, I DEFINITELY LOVED WINTERS FOR HIS TV COMMERCIALS.
I MET JONATHAN ONCE, AND I HAD A ZERO DESIRE FOR HIM TO SIGN A COMEDY ALBUM.
I HAD HIM SIGN A FULL UNOPENED BOX OF HEFTY BAGS, WHICH HAD HIS PICTURE ON IT.
IN MY MIND, JONATHAN WINTERS IS BEST REMEMBERED FOR HIS GARBAGE BAG ADS.
I AM DEFINITELY IN THE MINORITY.
MOST PEOPLE WOULD LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSE AT HIS HEFTY BAG ADS.
THEY WOULD ALSO LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSES AT MY LOVE OF THE ENTERTAINING ADS.
MY RESPONSE TO THEM:
WATCH OUT, BECAUSE THE "F" BOMB IS COMING.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN MAKE AN AD FOR GARBAGE BAGS ENTERTAINING & MEMORABLE?
ONE MAN DID IT, AND I WILL MISS HIM.
_________________________________________________________________________
HERE IS THE FULL BOX OF HEFTY BAGS THAT I HAD HIM SIGN.
I ASKED HIM TO WRITE:
"PUT YOUR STINKY GARBAGE IN HERE"

ROSEANNE
AMERICAN SITCOM TV SHOW - PREMIERED OCTOBER 18, 1988
THE TV SHOW TOOK PLACE IN FICTIONAL LANFORD, ILLINOIS.
LANFORD WAS SUPPOSEDLY LOCATED AROUND DEKALB, ILLINOS.
DAN CONNOR READ TWO NEWSPAPERS - ONE FROM DEKALB, AND ALSO THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES WEST OF CHICAGO, & I ASSUME A FEW MILES FROM DeKALB.

JACKIE DRIVING TO IOWA TO CHECK OUT LOOSE MEAT SANDWICHES - UNDER 2 HOURS.

CANNED OSCAR MAYER HOT DOGS - POPULAR PRIOR TO THE MASSIVE EXPANSION OF REFRIGERATORS IN THE 1950's
YOUNG WHIPPER-SNAPPER 30 SECOND HISTORY LESSON.
ONCE UPON A TIME, SOME 1940's HOUSEHOLDS DIDN'T HAVE REFRIGERATORS.
ICEBOXES WERE USED TO PRESERVE FOOD.
IT WAS AN INSULATED BOX, WHICH HAD BLOCKS OF ICE PUT INSIDE FOR THE COOLING.
THE COOLING CAPACITY OF THE ICEBOX WAS LIMITED.
THE STORAGE CAPACITY WAS ALSO LIMITED.
_________________________________________________________________________
DURING THE POST WW2 YEARS, THERE WAS A BUYING FRENZY FOR REFRIGERATORS.
PEOPLE WERE REPLACING OLD STYLE REFRIGERATORS & ICEBOXES.
_________________________________________________________________________
FARM HOMES SOMETIMES DID NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY, OR IT WAS VERY LIMITED.
SOME COMPANIES MADE GAS REFRIGERATORS TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.
APARTMENTS HAD ELECTRICITY, BUT THE HEAVY APPLIANCE WAS A PROBLEM.
IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY HAD ELIMINATED THE MASSIVE WEIGHT PER SQUARE FOOT.
EARLY 50's AMANA REFRIGERATOR EARLY 50's CROSLEY REFRIGERATOR
THE REFRIGERATORS WERE TINY, AS COMPARED TO THE GIANTS, IN THE 2013 KITCHEN
PROCESSED MEAT PRODUCTS IN A CAN WAS A WAY TO SOLVE THE SPACE PROBLEM.
DURING THE 50's, OSCAR MAYER OFFERED SEVERAL TYPES OF "MEAT IN A CAN."
AS A CONNOISSEUR OF ADVERTISING ITEMS - I LOVE THESE CANS.
"WEINERS IN A CAN" WOULD BE A HUGE COLLECTIBLE ITEM - VERY COLORFUL.

I'M A BIG FAN OF DOLLAR TREE STORES - THE TWO BEST NAMED OR, WEIRDEST NAMED PRODUCTS
I LIKE TO BUY ITEMS AT THE DOLLAR TREE STORE - I'M CHEAP.
I BECAME EVEN CHEAPER DURING "THE GEORGE W. BUSH MEMORIAL GREAT RECESSION."
DOLLAR TREE IS FANTASTIC FOR BUYING CHEAP DISHES, GLASSES, AND H & B ITEMS.
I ALSO LIKE TO BUY ITEMS TO BE PROMOTED ON THIS BLOG - WEIRD ITEMS FOR THE BLOG.
__________________________________________________________________________
I HAVE FOUND THE TWO FANTASTICALLY NAMED "WEIRD" ITEMS.
PERFECT NAMES FOR WHAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO - VERY APROPOS.
THEY ALSO HAVE SEMI-NAUGHTY NAMES, WHICH I LOVE.
I'M MENTALLY 6 YEARS OLD, AND LIVING IN A 100 YEAR OLD "OLD FART" BODY.
WELL, A SLIGHT EXAGGERATION.
BUT, IT IS CLOSE TO THOSE NUMBERS.
__________________________________________________________________________
SEE FOR YOURSELF:
BABY'S BUTT AID - A PERFECT NAME FOR THE PRODUCT.
BEING A 6 YEAR OLD, IT ALSO BRINGS A HUGE SMILE TO MY FACE.
GRAPE SCENTED "BOOGIE" WIPES.
WHAT KID DOESN'T LOVE THE NAME BOOGIE?
OR, THE MORE APPROPRIATE NAME - BOOGER.
TALKING ABOUT BOOGERS:
DID YOU SEE THE 5 YEAR BOY PICKING HIS NOSE, ALONGSIDE KATE MIDDLETON?
THE FUTURE-TO-BE QUEEN WAS QUITE AMUSED WITH THE YOUNG BOY.
I'M SURE HER MOTHER-IN-LAW WOULD HAVE HAD THE KID'S HEAD CHOPPED OFF.
