February 19, 2009
Not the best of weeks; Pop hasn't been doing very well and Dink has been "vomicking" so they have needed a lot of TLC....Terri's Loving Care. She's well on her way to getting those angel wings and living in the mansion on the streets lined with gold; she really earned her stripes this week.
In Houston this past week; after work Tuesday afternoon I went to Galveston to see Ricky Sykes. We couldn't hook up but he told me where to go; the destruction from last fall's storms was unbelievable. Sorry, didn't have the camera.
Several years ago (I'm guessing 2001) we went fishing with one of the Fishin Optishin's
neighbors, a young man named Joe who was a pioneer in the grilling practice of roasting a whole chicken with a beer can inserted into it's cavity. As Joe was well versed in this art, Fishin nicknamed him Beer In The Butt. Beer In The Butt is a psychiatrist, or psychologist, or maybe he's a plain old psycho, but anyway being a professional he was embarrassed that in each of Fishin's online photo albums he was referred to as Beer In The Butt. He claimed it made his face turn red, I would think other parts of the body would be a little aggravated also.
Since Fishin was his neighbor and friend he immediately ceased calling Joe by the nickname of Beer In The Butt; and instead started referring to him by his new nickname, Jo Jo the Dog-Faced Monkey Boy. I always wondered what happened to Jo Jo, and then I saw this sign this morning; welcome home Jo Jo; and remember it doesn't pay to screw with the Fishin Optishin!


Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
