Vidiots

You don't want to read what I have to say anyway, and it's been a busy week in VA, and the upcoming weekend is packed, so let's do as our teachers did decades ago and watch a filmstrip.......................
From Coca-Cola: What? 48 ounces is too a single serving! A commentary on social media......and come on. let's put them down for a little while, shall we?
.....................and you won't lick that "place" while you're wearing it.
And isn't this how most of us learned to dance? No, well you could have fooled me. BTW this video might have an adult theme to it, depends on whether you think the raccoon is dancing or humping. Come to think of it I believe this is illegal in most states. Enjoy, and rest in peace Tim Wilson
It's that time of the year when motorcycles begin reappearing, please look twice; it can happen this fast, or even faster. Better yet, please look three times
If the weather will agree I will be in OH and WV next week, followed by a Presbytery meeting in our home church Sunday. Busy X3, but that's a good thing

Dagnabit

I think that's one of the words Old Roy uses when he gets mad and doesn't want his freakin fans to hear what he really wants to say................. congratulations to him and his team on a well-earned victory last night...........having said that, this picture was in the paper last week, you couldn't look much stupider there coach. Nice gesture, come out and greet the students, all of whom are freezing in the cold for a game which thanks to ESPN was a little too late in postponing. And wearing shorts, nice look
Holy cow she really was a woman:
Mary Grace Canfield passed away this week, Hooterville will never be the same. I still can't get Lisa Douglass out of my mind; she usually wore her nightclothes around all day. Maybe Mr. Haney was selling something other than his junk; I'll let your mind wander on that for a while. 
I hope our associate pastor doesn't mind this re-issue from yesterday. A really funny shot of his daughter and dog on the beach yesterday during one of our first little hints that springtime is on the way.
Rest in peace Sanford Pittman; a great principal and Southern gentleman in every way. 
SWMBO put a picture of us before we got married on Facebook yesterday. As I was in the photograph, the quality of the photograph wasn't very high. The picture on Facebook was retrieved from my wallet, I carry it with me all the time. This picture is in my car all the time; I dare her to put this on the internetwebby thing. Haaaaacheeeeeeeemamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Those of you who remember sweet old Jesse might enjoy this likeness of the best dog ever. Jesse couldn't be shamed like this; however she would disappear if I cursed or looked at the back of the computer or printer. Sure do miss her even today, this dog looks a lot like her with her sloped ears. 
After I went to Mr. Pittman's funeral Wednesday I worked my way home through Rocky Mount and Greenville. A branch manager asked that I call on an e-tailer in town, so as I went out 33 I noticed a hotter than hot Cadillac CTS coupe. It had the upgraded brake package and looked like it could fly. As I pulled up beside it at a traffic light for the second time my tongue was hanging out while I ogled her beautifully styled body up and down. It was at that time I noticed the attractive young lady behind the wheel who was giving me the "you're an creepy creepy creepy old creep" look I've seen many times. Yes, that's a sign of getting old. Notice the car, didn't notice the pretty lady. 
But maybe that will change now, matter of fact, this could be a game-changer.....make that lifestyle changer. All of those years of exercise only to find out I could have been doing this? Screw the elliptical machine and the bicycle; I'm going to the beach. 
Daytona this weekend, go Tony go. Last night while watching the twin 150 races I asked my wife who was her favorite driver, who she wants to win, and who is the best driver of all time? Her answer to each question was you. Think I'll keep her around for another 30-some years.

Ice Ice Baby

Yes we had some snow and ice this week....again. I messed up, scrubbed a trip to Tennessee and then didn't get home in time; ended up driving in some pretty deep snow using the front air dam of the VW to plow. I'll go out there tomorrow and inspect the damage. Not as bad as Pygmy who is still trying to get home from West Virginia. 
Enough typing, I know it's videos you want to see and I've been saving some up:
The administration at Durham Academy had a little fun with their announcement of closing; wonder how many students at "little Duke" ever heard of Vanilla Ice? And no I could not remember his name and had to look it up. Hope he saved his money
Dogs are always so funny, someone used their imagination here: several of the dogs that had me would have bitten my fingers off doing a trick like this
An oldie but a......... but still funny
A new one on the circuit and very funny, I have to believe alcohol was involved
This reminds me of Tip; they got him the day I came home from the hospital after I was born. He was so friendly (to us) until it was time to feed him. You could kick his bowl and he would snap at you. We fed him scraps, chicken bones, fish guts all of his life. He only lived to be 16.
And a story about alcohol and monkeys, two of my favorite subjects. See if you recognize anyone
I've used a quick-start mixture years ago, seems as though there was some ether in there, or maybe it was ether.........ether way according to the title these country gentlemen used bug spray. Hilarity ensues as the engine finally turns over
This guy checked out this week, this was one of the last times I remember seeing him. The wink at the end is a good way to remember one of the funniest of all time
Happy VD! My sweetie baked a pie for me....................awwwwwwwwww. The best part is the cherry, not her favorite fruit so I get to eat all of it! Pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Did I write too much? Took ten minutes this time, and yes I do time myself. In the office this week, and the Daytona garage is open for business

Feeling Self-Wrighteous

Listened to the Howard Stern birthday bash and some old comics on the road this week. So what is your favorite Steven Wright joke? Here are some samples:

something.

Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.
Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.
I intend to live forever - so far, so good.
Join the Army, meet interesting people, kill them.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is
research.
And of course it is a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it.
If you did not laugh at any of those jokes please seek help. 
And one more: I was walking down the street one day.....wait a second, that wasn't me.
Funny guy, I hope that made you smile; please add to the list if you would like. And I would like....

Saw this guy at a truck stop Thursday night, I haven't a clue as to who he was but he seemed honored that I took the picture
New baby in the stall, hope SWMBO doesn't mind clearing out so that the new one doesn't get wet. OK, she's not new, far from it.....14 years old
.......and another from the "you can't make this stuff up" file. There are several one-liners that could go with this caption, feel free to be the next joke writer
And I know I've shown this picture before but it is one of my favorites.....what a good dog....and son
This is one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen, but it takes a little thought, all right, a little bit more than a little thought. I'm thinking my optical acquaintances can figure it out....who is he pointing that single shot rifle at? And yes I know I'm not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition......in................ 
I'm thinking either WV or Cedar Island
And our next door neighbor made the evening news, thank you PEDRO I hope I never have to use you
GREAT week in SC, our new rep is this guy

    • Ranked #20 in the "100 Movie Quotes" list
I'm looking forward to it., # 20 huh? Nice young man that my friend Justin hired, and Justin never makes mistakes
Super Bowl: I predicted a score of 40 or 45 to 10. Just had the wrong team picked so I guess I just pushed my retirement back to the year 2525. Hope I make it that long.
TN and western NC next week
