Today Is The 24th Day Of February In The Year Of Our Lord 2011
Mornin, HOW MANY TIMES, HOW MANY SHIRTS, HOW MANY SCALDED BALLS, BEFORE I STOP SPILLIN COFFEE ALL OVER MYSELF!!!!!!!! Does have a knack for wakin ya up though.. I must have accumulated 100 shirts over the years, that I still wear. Nothin to look at but still servicable. There ain't one, not one I tell you without a coffee stain..Anyway as I look at this turmoil in the Middle East, one cannot help but wonder. What would Iraq have done? If these shouters and kneelers, you know the sheople of the Middle East, they shout and then turn to Mecca to say some prayers, can bring down Kadaffy Duck, would Saddam be far behind.. Them Kurds never really did like him and he was kinda wearin thin with the whole world. Just a thought..I think they would have brought him down, and we would have 4000 not countin wounded Serviceman still with us. You know what significance today holds. It is ten months until mayhem, that is right ten months until Christmas Eve. I just want to bring that to our young subscription bases attention. We have a very large contingent of under thirty year olds. The haven't signed up yet, but they are waiting, I am checkin out their portfolios, to see if they are worthy of our selection commitee. Plain as usual is shovelin, shittin or hittin golf balls. The hell with the words today, lets think a little. Name people that would be recognizable by just one name. Try and name at least ten. The can be used example: The Mick.. I will start and look for your more than profound observations as the day continues. Hey anybody lookin in, sign in there aint nobody gonna hurt ya, this is Plain and Simple.. OK some of my people, I am just starting out with five: Attilla, Cher, The Babe, Napolean, Christ..... Give it a shot.. TTYL. Hey Plain if you can't think of one give me a call I will help you out. That may be cheatin, but I know how difficult it is for you to concentrate sometimes. I still love you though...

Very good Burgerville .......leans over and whispers joe joe and cow cow are two words or one word two times wtf let me start over, what am I talking about.
This Burgerville, guy is def. a local. I guess he is not going to expose his secret identity. Those names are good if your from the Yunk, but Burgerville my friend, I was thinking more famous than kow-kow. By the way KowKow not cowcow. His name was Frank Kowkowski, and he hated the nickname cow-cow, he took it out on a football..I always kinda felt sorry for KowKow, I think he got a bad rap.. Hitler!!!
Tabs,Scoochy, consho,spudgie,chinkie, dilly, Bugeye,Tin,babe,Tilt,Tooty,bricktop, roscoe.......think i'll leave some names for you other guys.....Buggsy,Lugie, oppppps jump in guys
Whoa what are you saying these aren't important people? Have you lost your Mind completly ?
See, I said no such thing, they are just not known around the World. OK you win...Jimbo, Sandy, Sedgie, Wrench, Spudgy, Bonzo, and Jersey. There.
Bricktop, Buddy, Face, Jungle, Buffalo, Hack, Elf, Shep, Weasal, Speedy and Pizza..
Well I rember being in Rome when the Pope walked out on the balcony with Spudgie and there were thousands of people there and I heard this one nun whisper who is that and the other Nun said I dont know who the guy in the big hat is but thats Spudgie
OK, Ok so sometimes I stutter. Lets take a quick walk. Lets start out in the Snack Bar at Memorial, nobody there today. Over to the coffee shop and tilt the machine just enough to get 25 free games. Check out the Rec and BV then sachet UP THE RIDGE. Stop for a dip in the BATHEE. Stop into Lovetts/Leos for a real candy bar for .05 and a pack of smokes. Over to Levering to see if there is a stick ball or hose ball game gong on. Then onto AL's for a bite to eat or the Diner whatever your pleasure. Nope the nut Shop would be ok and also look at lamps at Castillo's. Look in the Ladies Only door at Stans Bar. Stop to look at the Parrot then on to Becks to but a pink ball or pimple ball just to have a couple around. Then into the 5 & 10 for
.10 worth of M & M's. Then to Bobmans for a nice Madras shirt and a pair of Bermuda shorts. Onto the Roxy Pharmacy to peruse a few dirty magazines and maybe shoplift something. Cross over the street and catch a movie then start back stopping at H & H for
another snack, looking in the State store and wondering. Army Navy store for anything you might need on your hike back the (Crick) for exploration into the Mickey Mouse Cave or Devils Pool for a dip. Peck Millers door is open. again stopping to look and see whats going on. Morrisons Apothacary to pick up a script(The original reason for a walk). Pass the cemetery, say prayer, smell the flowers at the Flower Shop, pass Jim's Garage see if we know anycars getting fixed. pass the Acme, walk through one door and out the other, and finally back to The Coffee Shop for an ice cold Coke and say hello to Arlene, the waitress, in her short Pixie cut, and relax.
Now I know your are going to give me some shit about something here LOL the spelling, puncuation or the facts but I know you are only trying to keep the best blog site correct and keeping it Plain and Simple with class, no matter what they say. These two guys are OK once you get to know them...........BACSL
Burgerville, your killin me. It looks to me like your from Kensington or somethin. Seriously we just took a walk up the ridge of my childhood and young adult era. Kinda cool, remain BAC SL. and let us try and figure out who you are..Yo, General is this you???Where the fuck is the General. Tell ya the truth Plain, this Burgeville guy is freakin me out! You know that don't take much. Hey I have 1123, new apps to go through today. How about you?? Yob, Yach, Foot, Jimmers, Skinny, Bones, Sis, Dotsie, Worm, Irish, HairPie. I know you are going to say that is two words, but because you got me into nicknames, I had to throw that in there..
Kensington???????????????WTF I'm just trying to have some fun........Kensington is no fun......at least not now. Remember when Henry Ave. ended at Monastery and you could ride horses at Rock Hill. Then you moved to Cinnnnnaaaammmmiiinnnsssonn from Fleming.Just a thought.......LOL You defintely need more people on this sight. You two deserve more respect that you get.LOL
Kensington, kiddin man. I know where your from, and you know me pretty good. Yeah I remember when Henry ended at Roxborough, and I remember St. John's picnick bein there on the 4th of July. Plain this dude is drivin me nuts, that ain't hard to do. As for other people gettin on here, have faith my friend, they will. I think some people want to sign up, but they are leary of this type of thing. Especially some of the old fucks. I want you to keep messin with me and when I finally do find out who you are, I am going to mess with you, so have a good time while you can. Get some of our other friends to come on board. Japnose ring a bell..
I heard she was brutal.......Not as bad as Father Ivers........and his eraser tossing.......
Monastery Dave, is that you??
COLD.............How about Javies
Yeah, what about Javies? You ain't puttin me in this trap. I don't want hints just keep corresponding with me, I'll get ya...Where the fuck is Plain, where the fuck is the General. Oh yeah, Burgerville, quit runnin all over the old hometown. I'm outta breat. Javies was down on Cresson..
Lollllllllllll I love this Bacsl, he is a 21st warder for sure. And he was in love with Arlene, lol I am zeroing in on him. He knows everything about the old stomping grounds. keep up the good work Bacsl
Yo, how about the original premise. Names of people that are recognizable by one name only, and not nicknames from famous Manayunkers. I don't know why I try to get anything done around here. Rasputin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jumpin Jack Flash, Jumpin Jack Sprat, bit Jimmy on the lip and talked some trash.. Some say Jumpin Jack Flash, Some say Jack the Ripper all I'm talkin bout here is Jack the Lipper. Baltimore Jack. Baltimore Jack.. I was just kinda rappin this too myself. I'm kind of Simple minded.. BONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it I feel like I am playing with myself..OH!! OH!!! thought!!!OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plato,Teller,Elvis, Bono,Shaq,Beyonce, Twiggy,Pele,Eminen,Kreskin,Sinbad,Madonna,ophah,Terry .....there you happy.......I shouldn't of used Terry everyone would get that one
Thinks Baltimore Jack is None other than Earman !
Baker St........who were those Italian Brothers? Tortellos or something like that. Cresson St.? from there how about up to Paoli Ave. where there would be cases of Quarts dropped off to be consumed in the woods. Whitey, I beleive would pick them up and make the drop. There and at the top of Laursten St. in the woods that led to the bridle path close to the falls. Jump on the bus at Butens paints and head downtown with a six or eight pack inya, depending who showed up and shoot some pool above H & H.
Baltimore Jack the Lipper is earmans dog. Bit him on the lip and would not let go, thus Jack the Lipper..Einstein!!!!!!!!!
Frankenstein!!!!!!!!! and Dracula!!

Go hang out with Batista or Fidel or one of your other cronies. I know you been srewin the maid. Hate your guts you cigar chompin foriegn fuck..

BACSL is well travled thru Rox. and the Yunk I think it's the Pretzel man
And yes I was hitting golf balls, but I was working while i was there I wrote Kidcandle.blogspot.com on everyone of them.......cause mmmmmm most of them land on Umbria Street

You two have been busy....Great job. This is entertaining and i'm sure a lot of hard world. Keep trying to save the world.........we will all be with you.........Proud to be a follwer......
world+work
Burt good buddy God helps those that help themself, an example of this would be if a bus or a Mack Truck is bearing down on you don't just pray, jump out of the way or you will get squished, Then you can pray and say Thank you God. Or if like a tiger is charging at you don't just stand there or run , do something like throw a pile of shit in it's face........if your going to ask where do you get the shit ? Well I know all I'd have to do is reach in my pants Idk about anyone else.
Hey Jim thank you for the kind words glad we bring a smile to your face and as long as it's fun I'll put up with Simple.
Doc, Wyatt , buffalo, Annie , Jesse
Most of the famous one-named people were used by Plain and Simple such as Elvis, Madonna, Ali, Cher, etc. - came up with a few more - The Boss or Bruce, Hitler, Mussolini, Churchill, Diana, Mao, Hannibal. Must be a million or so rappers with one names but I'm not going there. Loved the local one-namers; brought back a lot of memories. Yo BACSL the Baker St. brothers were the ever famous Turella's. Who are you? Recognized and remembered all the old sites here are a few more - The Boro, Riviera and Jeffries movie theaters and of couse, The Roxy, Weiss' and Kramer's Furniture Stores, Lubar's Candy Store, Milton's menswear, where all the guys went to rent their tuxes for proms, Bovard's Jewelry, The Swanky Shop, The Bond Shop, The Bunny Shop, The Style Shop, Baltimore Super Market, Thummel's Market, when Bob's Diner was the 20th Century Diner, RCA Record Shop, The Tri-plex, Buster Brown and Foster's shoe stores,The Parker House, Michael's Steak Shop, Cherry's Shoe Repair Shop, also on Baker St. Hey weren't the Cherry's related to the Turella's somehow!. Sorry to bore all the followers who are not of the Manayunk genre but for those of us who are keep the oldies but goodies coming. Have to mention my secret word "danke". "It was a dark, dismal and danke night and Gorgas Park beckoned all the creatures of the night to cause havoc". So of course Plain and Simple showed up. Love you guys!
Good job Strebor......Cherry's Shoe repair.........ring any bells Simple........any relation to DEE-DEE and Frank.......forgot the favorite Consolo's.....Joey Russella's kin would throw a hot roll to us when we were there...great snack..........
Hmmmmmm Strebor, another well rounded intellegent historian of the Yunk and Rox. area.......funny you should mention Cherry's shoe store, saw Frankie like a few weeks ago and I handed him a Shoe ticket I found from the 60's......he made a phone call and said they will be ready in two weeks.
BACSL nice try on the Tortellos thing , it wont throw me off I am zeroing in like white on rice
OK BACSL, why was the name
DEE- DEE all in caps? How well did you know DEE-DEE? Could you be one of her admirers from the days of old? Related to the Cherry's - hell yes! Shame on me forgetting Consolo's, one of my favorites. Talking about Joey Russella, a famous Consolo family member, I'm not sure if it was Plain or Simple who mentioned his well known one-name "Pizza". Plain, I'll remind you in two weeks to pick up your shoes from Frankie. Gotta mention my word again, it is hette. Unscramble it and we have teeth. Good night all!
Yo Simple where are you? Ive been working my ass off,getting coffee for BACSL ,Strebor,Jim McCool, Burt,Anonymous and then another Anonymous they sat together and held hands they booth had Bags over there heads like the unknown comic so I could'nt reconize them.I'm cleaning up , serving, trying to hold intellegent conversation and had to lug that Pinball in over there>>> by myself. I got it from Janises. You better get your ass in here
DEE-DEE and Frankie are my cousins of course BAC SL knows this. Enjoy my friend, because Plain is zeroing in on your ass. As for me forget it I have no idea who the fuck you are. That is why I am "Ernie Lord of The Idiots" or just Plain-Simple. Where is the one lipped wonder, from Baltimore, did we chase him back down South. My, man McCool must be diggin this shit, somebody bustin my balls every day. Hey Plain, qutit ComPLAINin, like I don't do nothin around here. That was the first time I left in the four days we been in business, had to get a bottle of of of VODKA for tomorrow Baby. VODKADAY Looms. ETOV Estimated time of Vodka. 1 PM of course that could mean 10AM Plain and Simple Time. Will check Plain and SimpleVille later. Everybody, is welcome, and the nuts that are already here truly are a lot of fun..
Well Plain and Simpletons, it is getting to be that time of nite, here on Plain and Simple Street. Sure had some fun when I got back home here. Once again some detective work going on, but it won't help us find out who BAC SL is, he or she is too slick. As for Plain he is one funny fuckin dude. I knew when I was readin his comment about a tiger attackin him, he was gonna throw a pile of shit in the big cats face. I really had to read no further, because I knew where he was going to get the shit. Nice little tour of Manayunk and Roxborough. Muz (Mrs. Morris) would have had a good time today Ter.. Lots of fond memories, lots of laughs. I enjoy every day here with all you guys. I don't know how many people will log on, and I honestly don't care. We will have fun, no matter how many people move into the neighborhood, everybody is welcome, everybody did great with the one name game. God Bless you all..Time to hit the rack,and get ready to rock tomorrow..TAPS

But People I am sorry to say I wont be back On Plain and Simple. Not until TOMMOROW ANYWAY TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW is just a day awayyyyyy.............. Goodnite Misses Calabash wherever you areeeeeeeeee........Beelzabub........smirks.........I wonnnnnnnnnn
You Plain and Simples have no idea, what I just did. Neither do I. I put the post in comment. Fucked up big time. Went back copied it and pasted it. Then lo and behold edited it, and didn't have a vodka yet. I never cease to amaze myself. Huffs on hand and rubs collar..HA!!
You guys have no idea what I did today. Put the post in comment. Went back and copied it and pasted it, edited it, and it worked. Only took an hour. Huffs on his fist and rubs his collar. I really don't know how I did it, but I did do it.. I want some accolades Plain, or are you out Dancin in the Rain..Somebody said they saw you doin that on Main St. I said dude that is light, compared to the things that man has been known to do..
Hi
The BACSL rant about the stroll up and down the Ridge completely and totally blew me away. I can relate intimately with every reference in it. Very accurately described with genuine spirit. Do I know you (probably do)? I lived about a half a block from BurgerVille and the Coffee shop. Did you you know that Mr. Sweeney (BV Mgr.) was a lush? Kow Kow was always clad in a NY Yankees cap, sweat shirt and straight leg khakis. I always thought he was gay and learning disabled but I never really knew him.
