"Today Is The First Day Of March In The Year Of Our Lord 2011 A.D".
Mornin. Let me make sure I got A.D. right. OK. If BC is Before Christ then why isn't A.D. A.C. After Christ. I swear I never did get that..Thought for the day, a little later in the post. It is the middle of the nite hear at Plain and Simple. Had, monkey mind last night. Ever get that, your thinkin about everything bad that ever happened too you, and you start in about first grade and end up namin classmates and nuns and pets. Then you roll over, but no, no sleep, just start thikin about shit that means abso-fuckin-lutely nothin. Last nite I was thinkin about Dentist, Lawyers, Mondays, PLANES, and boats and trains, even ships. I was flying sailin you name it, I did it. Now I wanna go back and lay down. Yeah no shot of that happenen. Plain right now is out like the proverbial light. I can see people dancin around like sugar plums in that thing he calls a brain.. See him rollin over and smackin his lips together, open his bloodshot eyes just a shwee, looks at the clock, thinks wonder if that Simple ass is talkin already, ahh, who cares ZZZZZZ. Sleep on my friend, everything is under control.HA!! Okay Question of the day. Ides of March.. Anybody really know what the Ides of March are about? I think, but I am not sure it may be an old Irish superstition, that during those few days in March almost anything can happen. Maybe it stems from the volatile month that March has always been known to be, as far as weather, being unpredictable and such. You know, In Like the Lion out Like the Lamb,. No fornication jokes about animals I never saw a lion or a lamb do it. I did see a lion eat a lamb. Well it wasn't a real lion it was this guy that looked like BURT Lawr,(remember him, he was the Lion in the Wizard of OZ) I was in a restaurant and this dude attacked this Lamb Chop like it was his last meal, I mean rippin at it, grease and skin and meat was flyin, I ever heard his teeth hit the bone. I wanted to go over and congratulate him on making half the restaurant sick, but my Ex said. Please can we just have one meal in peace. Sure honey, just don't choke on your Pork Chop ala Buddy Ryan, I don't do the heine lick maneuver. Man I am ramblin today. Did I give you the question for the day, oh yeah, I see it up there. Let me know what your take is on that. Thought of the day, come on man, cut me a break let PLAIN earn a little bit of money around here, and he tells me, you know post and get the day goin and wrap at night. Everytime I call TAPS, here he comes with another comment. He causes me many problems. I don't know how I put up with him for 58 years.. Maybe because I love the cur....Well I'l be back lookin for comments and see what you guys come up with.. Also, Jimmy McCool, keep recruiting..your doing a bang up job, I think since you took over we had three people quit. Give the controls to Carol will ya...Later

Thought for today : " To the World you maybe one person, but to one person you maybe the World"......... Ahhhhhhhhhh the ole Ides of March huh, I belive it was a warning to Caeser,Ides comes from the old roman Calendar " Beware the Ides of March........... and I have been up since 3:30am since ive been on Pacfic coast time I already did my 5 miles it's tiring and I hate driving anymore.
Hey good one Plain, I think it does have somethin to do with Caesar, and they think your just another pretty face..I like that thought, I just can't think of anybody that thinks I am the world, except maybe Sweetheart. World!!! I can't even think of anybody that thinks I'm their alley..
Okay ya got me whats an alley ? I know alley cat, there's also a narrow walkway called an alley, there was even an alley behind the House on Main ST.All those years I thought we were poor I just found out we lived in a Town house
That's an alley, the one behind the house on Main, the one next to my house on Fleming. Now, I gotta tell you what an alley is..PHEW!!
I am sure most of you, if anybody comes around anymore, like in someway our National Past Time none other than that grand old game of baseball. I saw in the news the other day, that The Duke Of Flatbush, one Duke Snider passed away. They kept referring to the song that was written about the era that he played in,the 1950's upward. The three teams in New York in those days ( you believe one city had three teams) were, The Yankees, The Dodgers and The Giants, not only is that unheard of, but how about the three centerfielders for those teams. Yanks-Mantle Dodgers-Snider Giants-Mays. Thus the song. Goes like this: If you don't know the tune just read it slow... Poetry in motion.
The Whiz Kids had won it Bobby Thompson had done it, Yogi read the comics all the while. Rock and Roll was bein born, marijauna we would scorn, and down on the corner the national past time went on trial. I'm talking baseball, Kluzewski, Campanella, talkin baseball, The Man, and Bobby Fella, The Scooter The Barber and Nuke, we knew them all from Boston to Debuque, especially, Willie, Mickey and the DUKE. Say Hey, Say Hey.
Now it's the eighties and Brett is the greatest Barry Bonds can play for anyone, Rose is at the Vet, Rusty again is a Met, and The Great Alexander's pitchin again in Washington, I'm talkin baseball, Klusewski, Campanella, talkin baseball, The Man and Bobby Fella, The Scooter, The Barber and The Nuke, We knew them all from Boston to Dubuque especially Willie, Mickey and the DUKE say hey, say hey, Willie, Mickey and the DUKE. Rest in Peace Duke of Flatbush..
The Ides of March (Idus Martias) is the name of March 15 in the Roman calendar. The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October. The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held. ...

Hey way to go Anon. With that wealth of knowledge and your very astute observations, why don't you sign in Lar..
yesssssss Thanks Anonymous I was right dances around the room does the electric slide across the floor, then my Egyptian dance as I sing nanana nananana.......and Simple I think sweetheart thinks you are the World......Willie, Mickey and the Duke great song and the best game in the world, now your talking right up my ALLEY.....smirks.......Hitting a baseball toughest thing to do in all majors League sports bar none. There was a Study done up in Cornell like 10 years ago at 90 miles and hour you have the blink of an eye to do everything right and hit the ball.The best in the world only get a hit 3 out of 10 times thats a 70 % failure rate and you get inot the hall of fame.And if you check back the last 40 years look at all the Players either League that got there regulation at bats for the batting title there is rarely 20 guys in each league that hit 300 or better, usually less so that makes all the major leaguers 200 hitters, so 270 and above is pretty Damn good. Jordan tried it 3 years couldn't hit the Mendoza line which is 200
And Bobby Thomson Doctor Bobby that is gave a speech and threw out the first ball when we were in the World Series up in Canada way back in 1998 A.D. Justin Bey beat us in the Tenth 1 to 0 sighhhhhhhhhh
I see a new member here Welcome Jeff, jump in anytime you want . Say anything you want and have fun.
Hi Plain, I guess it is me and you today, you know I love when there is a bunch of people here, but if I have to talk to you I'll grin and bear or bare it.. OH!! wait till we have that word game. Hitting a baseball, abso-fuckin-lutly the hardest thing to do in sports. Really do have to admire the truly great hitters. I also know that in most every sport there is usually, I like to say ten of the best. Trying to say who was the best in anything is hard for me, it brings on many funny an serious conversations. Like who was the best hitter ever. Come on man, was it the guy that had more hits than anybody ever? Rose. How about Ted William? How great a hitter was he? Cobb, gotta put Ruth in there, and The Yankee Clipper hit in 56 straight. Just being partial I put Mantle for his power from both sides. Musial was aswesome. It's tough. Let me hear some more. I am sure there will be a case for many more to be in the top Ten. The only sport I can say there may have been one greater than all others is horse racing, my reasoning being this, Secretariat, was the only horse that the further he went the faster he became. He also is the only horse that ever ran the Kentucky Derby in less than two minutes. He also got beat by a horse named Onion. The debate will heat up on Plain and Simple.
Hey Jeff, glad too see you could make it on in. I guess you always knew I was a little whacky, but this will prove it, enjoy and bring on some of that young knowledge...
Ty Cobb led the league 12 times had a 365 lifetime batting avg. Yes Secretariat was the best. And none other than Wayne Gretzky in Hockey......time to hit golf balls be back laterrrrrrr
Good Mornin' to all. The Ides of March refers to March 15th on the Roman Calendar and had something to do with the moon. Julius Caesar was used as a human pin cushion on the Ides of March, hence, the saying "beware the Ides of March. Loved the baseball facts; can't wait for them Fightins' to take the field. By the way has anyone warned the city of Clearwater that Plain & Simple and the Rox-Myk-Wissa contigent will be heading there shortly?
J McC thanks for all the computer instructions. However, you have to know that you are dealing with the biggest bunch of computer illiterates ever assembled in one place. We don't know what you are talking about but we love you anyway. Do you remember when we bought a TV in the day you came home, took it out of the box,plugged it in, turned it on and sat back to watch? "Those were the days". Come back Earman!
Good Morning on this first day of March and to all you boys of summer........Good stuff....How many played on Mr. John Boyce's Field.........hit the ball and you are out at first. "Close Enough" he would say. Then Mr. McGonigle took over and your hit was a hit. Good times. Then over to Hornstiens for a cold beverage, at the counter served by Mitch, who later became a big time Doc. We couldn't go to Gannons. Couldn't even peek in that door. How about Pretzel Park for a game of hand ball at lunch time. How did the Nuns let us do that? Got a couple more but I don't want to overload the Trivia Train. I'll Be Bock....
Can't wait til you get Bock BASCL, great stuff you always add to this Simple Plain blog.
Sterbor your knowledge is only overcome by your Beauty. But sighhhhhhh I wont be making it to Clearwater this year. As I will be back in the coaching ranks and Simple wont let me he said I have to stay here and do the post.Throws up my hands.
And James Mc you are doing a fantistic job keep up the good work oh btw Monk ask me how do you get on here I said ask you.
Hey Ballbuster, I mean BAC SL, yes I played for Mr. Boyce, I would say 7 or 8 years old. Used to walk up to the wreck with Joe Neezio, and Tommy Flaherty. Kinda remember what looked to me like 1000kids. I think we may have gotten a hat and a shirt, not sure. You must be a little older than me. Keep messin around and Plain is gonna getcha. "Boys of Summer" what a great time in old Brooklyn Town..They probably would have lynched O'Malley if they could of got too him. I guess maybe after that people started to realize it was all about business, still ain't nothin like the opening of Spring Training or the Opener it whatever home town your from, too turn that winter nightmare into fun..Baseball is back!!!!!!!!! Sure is a good time to be a Phillies fan, I get a kick out of all the younger people. They really never saw bad year after bad year. I hope the trend continues on, Phillies have one of the best organization in baseball right now..
Plain, I am humbled by your compliments. And, sighhhhhhhh! I'll miss you in Clearwater. Here I go again, my secret word is firout. Ain't that what Bubba said after taking a hit and listening to John Denver sing Rocky Mountain High - "fir-out"?
For all you Charlie fans out there. Watch ABC (channel 6 in our area) at 10:00PM for an interview with the man himself. Watching the blurbs that they have been showing all day he's going to either be termed a real looney tune or everybody's hero who just tells it like it is. Would like your comments tomorrow. Should be quite interesting.
My man Charlie is reminding me more like Jimmy Ignakowski more and more every time I see him.The man is a loon , goon and a baffoon, look how skinny he has gotten. He looks like shit, his Brain is fried and man could we have partied in the 60's and 70's.they were my only two blackouts, and I heard I had fun, back in those days I woulda had Charlie on the run.
Most of us through our lives fight some kind of demon or demons. You either win, compromise or lose. Charlie, isn't like the rest of those assholes in Hollyweird. The man likes to party a little too much look at him. He is right when he says Eygpt is burnin why am I the first thing on the news? Hey if he has the time money and stamina to be with three women for days on end, so be it. He should never have gotten married, then he def. should never have gotten married again, and him and all of those clowns in Hollyweird that get married should have to be married five years before they are allowed to have a child. I like Charlie, hope he straightens out, I really think deep down he is a standup guy. I don't know this for sure because I really don't know the man, but that is my gut feel. Well I am sure we will see what happens because like one Charlie said "Get Your Good And Plenty's" and this Charlie took him literally. WAWA!!!
Yep, I also think he is a stand up guy. He might be a little ried but those interviews are tough. He has to go on the defensive. He tells it like it is and sometimes like he sees it. A 7 gr. block of crack is rough along with whatever else he is on. That's why his how was so good, he wans't acting. I thought he was going to negociate for the crew. They will find something else I suspect but they are geting hurt somewhat too. I also hope he get it together or he will die.
Forgive the errors Simple, I will start editing my stuff so there is no disgrace to your Blog, just in case we get company.
Jim, forgive you? Give me a break. You have been reading, PLAINS posts, now there is a dude that needs forgiveness. Just keep recuitin McCool!!!! Good post on the Chuckster, he is a freakin loon man. I'd love to get him on Plain and Simple, but he would probably be on the hunt for Sweetheart. Yo, by the way, where is Sweetheart. See you guys later. Gonna watch some Sixers..
Charlie is only hurting himself and everyone that worked for him and with him. Are they his responsibilty ? Is he his responsibility ? I know he thinks he is right, but so does Col. Qaddfi Duck( and that fool only made himself a Col)and so does Charles Manson why Jeffrey Dahmer thought he was right too.
Charlie is declining and needs help,I truley feel sorry for him and think the media is using him for news purposes. The man is a genius in his field.But right now he is fighting the demonds within. He is hurting himself the people around him and the ones who love him.
There but for the grace of God go I. Walk a mile in his shoes. But trust me I could eat alphabits ceral and crap out better answers than he is giving.....................haaaa did ya think I was gonna stay serious ?does a black flip with a 2 1/2 gainer and breaks into a soft shoe as I sing Hold meeeeeeeeeee take me in your arms and hold me make me tell you i'm in love with youuuuuuuuuuuu Thrillllll meeeeeee......Now ain't that Charlie Sheean like.......smirks and throws up my hands.
As usual PLAIN, great comment, and there but for the Grace of God, go a lot of us. Everybody, please forget about Charlie for one minute, and watch that PLAIN dance. Lookit that PLAINMAN GOOOOO!!!! Alley OOP OOP, Alley OOP OOP!!! Watch you don't get hurt back flippin and eygptian dancen and moon walkin. We need you when I leave for spring trainin, no goin on injured reserve because you broke your fuckin leg back flippin.. I don't want to hear it.

Misterrrrrr bojanglessssssssssssss Mister Bojanglesssssssssssss dance.........Good Nite God Bless.......... , turn out the lightssssssssssss the partiesssssssssss overrrrrrr
I guess Plain ended the party. Well I just watched 20/20 and they inteviewed Charlie, didn't change my opinion. I think he told the truth in his own wacky way. I don't think he is going to change. He is a Hedonist personified, but in his own words, Eygpt is burning why am I the first thing on the news. I guess that ends March 1. Gotta slow it down a little. February had the foot on the pedal, zoomed on by in 28 flat.. Gotta hit the rack been poundin since about 3:30 AM Plain and Simple time. Hey earman see you Thursday. Jimmy (earman) is my cousin from Baltimore, he really is a lot of fun. We have to see each other, and not under good circumstances. Our Aunt passed away and the funeral is Thursday. Some of you might know her. She grew up believe it or not Rose Cherry,(My Mom and Earmans Moms Sister) and she married a great man by the name of Dan Rose. So yeah ya got it. Her name was Rose Rose. If you get a moment, and it is your belief, drop a prayer in her name. She was 91. Wow!! Goodbye Aunt Rose..you were a treasure.. TAPS
Done........
