"Today Is The Twenty-Seventh Day Of February In The Year Of Our Lord 2011"

Mornin got one for ya to get you going a little.  If you don't know the tune read it slow..
Well I woke up Sunday Mornin with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and the beer I had for breakfast, wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert, then I stumbled to my closet for my clothes picked out my cleanest dirty shirt, I brushed my teeth and combed my hair and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. I smoked my brain the night before on marijuana and booze that I'd been drinkin, and I watched a small boy cursin at a can that he been kicken. Then somewhere in the distance I caught the familiar smell of someone fryin chicken and took me back to someplace, somewhere, somehow I left along the way.  On a Sunday mornin sidewalk wishin Lord that I was stoned, cause there's somethin in a Sunday makes a body feel alone, and there's nothin short of dyin half as lonesome as the sound of a sleepin city sidewalk, Sunday Mornin Comin Down.......
First verse of Sunday Mornin Comin Down, written by Kris Kristofferson. One of my favorites.  A lot of peole don't know how great a song writer and guy Kristofferson really is.  He wrote Me and Bobby McGee and gave it to Janis Joplin, because she could sing it much better than him.  They told him, when he performed this song for the first time at the Grande Old Opry that he could not sing Wishin Lord That I Was Stoned, Johnny Cash being one of the elder statesman that said that could not be done.  Well Kris looked right at him when he sang Wishin Lord that I was stoned.  It must have been ok cause it brought the house down.  One last tidbit on one of my favorite song writers and all around good guys.  He was also a drunk, plt smokin, Rhodes Scholar and Golden Glove Boxing Champion.  "For The Good Times".
OK got that done. In last nights sign off I forgot about my Sweetheart, ( I knew I would forget somebody).  Well she gave me some very nice compliments (read them at the end of yesterdays post), and says she would like to meet me.  Sweetheart I appreciate that, but the more distance you keep the better off you will be, I aint as nice as I evidently sound.  I can be a real pain in the balls.  Nobody believes that do ya??  Wait until you hear Plain on that one.  How about we reached 500 hits, I guess that is pretty impressive, I really don't  know and I really don't care that is not what this is about.  This is for us and our friends, to vent and laugh and bring on the inspiration..  The thought for the day idea is good (BAC SL) please everyone help out.  I only have three or four thoughts  an entire day, most of them are fucked up.. I guess a thought for the day could be anything that jumps into your medulla..Try this, " Hey don't  let him get your goat",.........................................................................................There did you try it, what the fuck.  Don't let him get your goat.  Who has a goat and who would want it?  A goat would eat your house.  As far as I am concerned the dude with the goat can keep it.  You guys agree or what?? who makes up this shit.  I know that is not a real profound thought, but it is the best I got right now.  I'm still singin... If I am not telling a true story, I will make that none, this is real.. When I first moved to the Pine Barrens, the only bar around was the Pic-A-Lilly Inn.  This is in the mid-seventies.  The big attraction was you got to drink with a goat.  I get a basketball game with the State Troopers against The guys from Philly.  Well, they all come over, and I remember Jimbo bringin the ball up and puttin up one finger and shit.  (hysterical). Naturally we kick their ass, now we head for the Pic. Dig this, a bunch of city guys drinkin it up and in comes the goat, this prick puts his front hoofs on the bar right next to me, he has pretty big horns and on the bar he has to be close to six feet. Bartender says, "you guys buyin"?  "Buyin"?? I'm still in shock... The deal is the goat drinks shots and beers so of course we set him up.. This dude wraps his lips around the bottle of Miller High Life throws back his head drains it, and starts gnawing on the bottle. Buy him a shot and he does the same thing.  We are nuts, he got ten shots and beers lined up and proceeds to get smashed along with the rest of us goats, then his hooves start slidin and down the bar he goes and falls on the floor.  I remember Tommy, Dave, Jimbo, I don't know if Plain was there, if he was I am sure he can estrapulate upon the story.. You can actually read about him in the Inquirer archives.  Only in the Pine Barrens Baby..

Simple said...

Singin

BACSL said...

Good Morning Angels..........Hope evey one had a good Saturday night. Simple, your closing last night before you went to bed and after you laid out your Black and Whites to serve Sunday Mass(the good altar boy that you were)makes this sight so addictive. You were right about the followers, we are not. We are all just friends. The old saying,"Don't walk in front of me because I might not follow, and don't walk behind me because I might not lead, just walk beside me and be my friend". That is what we are all doing just fucking around and having fun,butttttttttttttt this would not happen if you didn't start it.(Plain too) So my wife thanks you, my family thanks you and I.... thank you.Oh yeah Sister Mary Joseph, Sister Martina, Miss Night, the Jap and Father (Atlantic City) Farrant thanks you. Remember "If it is good for your head, DO IT"

plain said...

oppps in laughing at Simple, and I must tell you that is all true about the goat. I forgot to do todays "Thought for Today" well, here it is!......If electricity comes from electrons, Does morality come from Morons ?

plain said...

Omg BACSL, I was in love with Miss Knight......Smiles ......this has to be Dave Richart

BACSL said...

Nope,not Dave, but we were all in love with her. She had beautiful Tanned skin, ample breasts, great gams and could teach us reading too.......LOL

Simple said...

Plain, you know what, sometimes you really exasperate me!! We already called out Dave Reichert, about 300 comments ago. Remember I said BAC SL wasn't in grade school with me, well it sure does look like it, as this thorn in my nuts, knew all the teachers names at St. John's. Miss Knight third grade put me under her desk, HA!! she thought that was a punishment, I acted up all year just to get back under there. Yeah Baby!!!!

plain said...

Well I don't wanna really get it anyway this is too much fun. And I too was always under the desk didn't know why at the time but just wanted to be near her I was crusing bad .

plain said...

Keep the ball rolling guys and Girls . I have to hit some golf balls. I'll be back

Simple said...

Plain is hitting golf balls, probably misses more than he hits. I would like to know when all of my friends, escept me and Dave started liking golf. I guess I hate it because I stink. I only do it once a year at the Northwest Vets Scholarship Golf Tournament, and believe me that is enough, not only for me but for anybody that has to play with me. Hey stopped into a church today, kinda nice.

Jim McCool said...

Trying to drum up some more friends on FB to come and join the nuts. I put not for the faint of heart so who ever comes knows what to expect......Thanks again you 2

Simple said...

Hey Jim, that's good, whoever comes on is welcome. If they truly know us they will come in and have a good time. If they don't they will probably report us to the nearest mental heatlth facility. Keep recruitin, because Plain don't do shit. Well let me retract that last statement he does shit as he so profoundly described in one his post. Great to see you on here Jim, tell Carol I was asking for her...

BASCL said...

Nice job Jim. Hope a couple of fun people take the bait and come and have some fun. Saw on FB you and Carol married 45 years.Congrats. Remember that reception at Krams and Manayunk Ave. We were all under age. LOL Was a VFW I thnk. Hope we get some more to drive Simple nuts and Plain on the investigative trail.

Simple said...

Hey Jim, what I meant by "have you lost your mind" was now people are gonna say. Jim got me into this shit with these loons. Bring them on my man. Like I said let's have some fun...Your the best pal..

Strebor said...

Hey Earman where are you! Please respond to Plains enlightening remembrance of Mr. Bojangles. Ain't Jim Jangles another one of your aliases? BACSL thanks for reminding me of Miss Knight. She was, I believe, the first non-nun to teach at St. J's. I, however, never had the pleasure of being taught by her. Simple keeps alluding to the fact that I will be watching the Oscars tonight -NOT! Simple, you mentioned that Jeff Bridges was up for best actor in the re-make of True Grit. Do you know that he won best actor last year for Crazy Heart? I kind of like him too. Also like Kris K. I had a couple of thoughts as to BACSL might be but Simple doesn't agree with me. BACSL do you have a big brother with the initials TH? If so I gotcha! Probably NOT! To all, keep up the good work. The laughter it has provided me with over the last week is immeasurable. Looking forward to this week's ramblings. My secret work is exuve. Don't you all agree with me the Plain & Simple exuve unlimited charm?

BACSL said...

No big brother........ TH and I defintely agree with you that these two are above PAR (For Plain)when it comes to charm. Plain, I played Squires once when I was playing Oak Terrace, I hit my good ball into Squires and went to get it, putted on one of the greens, ergo played Squires. Speaking of greens, Simple did you ever caddy at Green Valley or were you a Whitemarsh boy? How about Marble Hall, a member were you?

Plain and Simple said...

You know what BAC SL. You ain't gettin me. Oh, ok. I worked at Minute Man Car Wash in High School, Floyd Flaherty caddied at, Green Valley, he brought me up there on Caddy's day and that was the first time I ever goofed, I mean golfed. I brought two hats one for the front nine and one for the back nine. Which we never played. When he asked me why I brought two hats and I told him one for the front nine and one for the back nine. He lost it. I didn't really think it was that funny, but he still brings it up today. He tells that story all the time. I just laugh, and everybody else laughs and I just wonder why!! Marble Hall, yeah couple of years,wait a minute, Pat Renshaw is this you???

Strebor said...

Okay BACSL I give up. No more guesses as to who you may be. I'll leave it up to P & S to figure out who you are. Marble Hall!!!!! Oh what memories that conjures up! And, yes I can verify that Simple was a member. Not sure about Plain. Keep the memories coming. Looking back on happy times is the best!

Simple said...

Hey BAC SL that was just my Simple Ass in that comment about Plain is still hitting or shitting.. No, Strebor I did not know that Jeff Bridges was nominated last year, and I just want you to know that before they have that phony ass shit on TV, they have a Pre Show. Leading up to the red carpet. That's right earman is JimJangles he is one tap dancin fool, I forgot about that. I forget a lot lately. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe I will forget about Plain, yeah right. He is lurking somewhere...I guarn-fuckin-tee it..

Simple said...

OK, one last shot. Freddy-Fuckin-Turtle, come out of your shell BAC SL.. If this is right, I have to give credit to a one Dave Morris, as he was the first one to call out FREDDY!!!! If this isn't Freddy I am done. You will have to tell us who you are when the time is right...

plain said...

Well I am back.......looks both ways and leans over shhhhhhh I just got off the phone with Hollywood The insiders have best picture is Theeeee eeeee eee Ki ki kingsss Spp speee speech winning. Best Actor Colin Firth......Actress Natalie Portman

Strebor said...

Hey BACSL if you are Freddie Turtle, do you still like canned spaghetti better than the good old-fashioned homemade spaghetti with real Italian gravy? Hey Simple, my secret word is chipsi. Bring back any memories? And Jeff Bridges wasn't only nominated last year - he won!

BVCSL said...

Nope not Pat or Freddie, I am waiting for Plain to laser in on me. Patience....all in good time...Speaking of Freddie Fucking Turtle, how about the train set up the Good Sisters used to make us watch at Mr. Monahans, the Undertaker across the st. from school...........I know you must have been there because I saw you there trying to derail his set up. LOL

plain said...

It isn't Tom harrity or Marty It isn't Monastery Dave nor is it Pat Renshaw I Don't belive it is Freddy either But this guy knows more than Kaiser Soze but I am narrowing it down.

plain said...

BACSL, one Question I do have for you does a whistle mean anything to you?

earman0042 said...

I Thought I heard it all. right hooks with a lock in hand.Stealing golf balls and losing my brother.war stories from peck wards,Ernie Clause LMAO now drinking with farm animals.I have a few questions. Did you get lucky? where you feeling sheepish when you were finished? did you get checked for hoof and horn disease ? Did you drink the goats milk..lol addiction to Greek salads.I'm really writing this shit...I guess I'm in the right place...Thanks to all..God Bless Aunt Rose..A Rose is a Rose when she marries a Rose..:(((((

BACSL said...

Nope............Did you used to whistle at Miss Gallagher Plain? Did Simple have a crush on her? Did he get under her organ? LOL

Simple said...

That's it no more, BAC SL. tell us on your time. Hey ear you really went off, yeah the goat was great company. The only thing was his breath before he started drinkin smelled like tin cans...Can't wait for the Oscars. Hey Plain, you sittin in your directors chair with Morris on the back, you had that since Gone With The Wind captured Oscar.., and no Dave, if you do check in, as you see it isn't Freddy or Pat..

Simple said...

Hey earman that comment about losin your brother. He went the wrong way when the cops got there. I think he tried to run from Andorra to Baltimore. That was the second time me and Floyd got locked up in 7th grade. Tom Gola's was never the same. Stole the golf clubs also. I told Floyd this was a bad idea. He said once again, it was your fuckin idea....

Simple said...

Simple jumps into Plain and Simpleville for the last time today. Looks around and what do I see, a bunch of windows with shades drawn, but if I look harder I see the glare of a TV. AHHHH, seems like the old home town is quiet tonite. I wonder why?? NAH!! YA THINK, could it be? Are you all watchin the oscars with Burt. Well, Oscar, Burt and Ernie, this is Simple signing off on another day. Once again had lots of fun. Hope to talk to you all again tomorrow. Jim McCool, my man, keep recruitin. Enjoy the show, this one, and the one your all watching. TAPS

Strebor said...

P & S let's just allow BACSL to remain anonymous. BACSL just keep giving us hints. Earman keep on tapping and take care of your big brother in case he wants to return to the scene of the crime. I apologize to all but I can't get past these secret words; they keep getting better and better.
"Sesside" By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful Sesside Heights".
Good night all!

plain said...

Again very profound statements by all, there hasn't been a day since this has started I haven't laughed and the memoires have been great......and yes the fun of the chase with BACSL is great keep it up. I agree with Strebor, don't tell who you are. because trust me there are others also thinking on this and wondering whom you may be .I was given alot of names today just in talking to people I was with this afternoon and early this evening. So there are people reading but not commenting. Do'nt be affraid to jump on in and make statements it will only make things better.And I miss are friend Jaynine. Until then Goodnite God Bless...............turn out the lightssssssssss the Partys overrrrrrrrrrr smirks gid nite Dany Don wherever ya are
