Thanks for the history lesson Plain. Yes, Manayunk came from the Lenni Lenape indians word "maniung", which means "place where we go to drink". Ironic isn't it? The widest part of Lyceum Ave. (and thank you again for the two meanings of the word Lyceum, I was very impressed) is between Manayunk or Maniung Ave. and Ridge Ave. It is much wider there than where the famous or infamous Manayunk Wall is located. The wall is the rocks we climbed as younguns' and we referred to the hill as "Nana Cherry's hill", because that's where we had to walk up to get to my grandmom's house. Little known fact but when Simple & I moved from Baker St. to Fleming St., it was stated that we no longer had to go up the hill as we now lived up the hill. A known fact about Lyceum is that it becomes Lyceum above Silverwood; below Silverwood to Main it is Levering. I always wondered why the whole street wasn't either Levering or Lyceum; why is it dissected at Silverwood. I will be awaiting your words of wisdom on this.

Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah-Zippity-Yay, my oh my what a wonderful day..Hey look at this place, I can just about wade through the refuse. Critters are all passed out, and I am going in the bunker too look at todays news.
WELL WELL WELL!! Looky Looky, if anyone cares to go back and check out a post from a week or so ago, this Simpleton said he thought Casey Baby was guilty, but had a bad feeling about her getting convicted. How about that!!! they let this mother fucking child murdering bitch walk.. HOORAH again for the once great judicial system of America, you fucking stink, along with you taxation system, your two party political system, your fucking bunch of non convicted convicts in Congress, your war department, your utter disregard for basic human rights. You once again have deceived the sheople. I congratulate you on your travesty of justice I expected nothing else. So go enjoy your life you whore, while your childs remains rot. Because you will get your justice sooner or later. I said last week that I had that bad feeling. Well now I have another feeling. I believe in Karma, when you perpetrate sheer evil upon another human being, for no reason whatsoever, just for your own hedonistic or selfish ways, such as in this case. When you deem yourself judge jury and chief executioner, with malice towards another human being. Beware, Karma, as I call it, God as other sheople call it, whatever you want to say, what goes around comes around, stand by, you are going to get what is coming too you, and this I believe in just cases of malice and hatred. This goes beyond even that, this is the face of sheer evil walking out into the Orlando sunlight later today. She will get all the booze, drugs, and dick she wants tonight. She will write a book and the sheople will buy it and make her a millionaire. Just don't tell me I'm terminal, I just might have to go have a drink with her..
Congratulations Casey, and Jose, and your dream team...
R.I.P. Caylee.. Hope I spelled that right.

What a travesty. I hope those jurors can sleep good and I hope the fucking, murdering, doping, drinking, no-good bitch meets her maker sooner than expected. Justice, you call this justice? Something, my friends, is terribly wrong. There is no doubt in my mind and the minds of all the people I know that the psycho is sheer undeniable evil and murdered that sweet little girl with maliciousness and a cold calculating heart, that is, if she even has a heart.

The land called manayunk was originally a Community in Roxbourough Township Philadelphia County.This land was first brought by William Penn. And wait til ya hear this back in 1685-86 it was transfered over to William Fleming. Then Bill a lil later on sold a large part of this land to his Son Jacob Fleming. It was then Jacob Fleming built the first house in Flat Rock( Now Manayunk) and this house was built before the Streets were named can ya belive that, holy shit how did the contractors know where to go?Anywho this house is said to of been built on the North Side of Green Lane just west of Silverwood Street.But before I get on a roll with this plethra of knowledge Fleming Street was named after Joe Fleming the center fielder for Jamestown A.A. who hung on the corner of Jamestown and Apple Streets right in front of Tony Boobers yep yep I know unreal!!!!!

Sad day in the justice system of the good old USA. Murder wins! May God be with us!
TAPS
Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the lakes,
from the hills,
from the sky,
all is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

This Ville we are trying to build, is a work in progress. It runs the gamut of emotions. I must admit, most of it hilarious. There are just some things some times, that even get this Simpleton down. This day has been one of them. I am ending this day of infamy, with a fresh outlook for tomorrow. I will fill you in on Holiday Weekends at the Ville, and what we can look forward to, from Holidays in the future. Hey, Plain great job on the Yunk History, but if I ain't mistaken I think it was the Schuylkill Indians, now once again they could be a branch of the Lenni Lenape. Who by the way were the original settlers out here at the Ville. In fact the first Indian Reservation in America is right here in Shamong (place where the deer are.) It was called Brotherton. R.I.P.

Ern I am not supprized at all that 12 people could find this Slut bag not guilty. There were 69 million people that elected this scum bag in the out house president 40 million of them had no Idea what he was about the sheep. 10 million wanted hope and change and 19 Million are only going to vote Black anyway because 98 % of the blacks vote black but we are the raciest if we say anything bad about our President. But it's okay for out President to lamblast the past president and still do it today after he fucked this country up for three years.And the sheep still belive it's all Bushes fault all they gotta do is look up Fanny Mae and Freddie mac that ass Bush tried to regulate them 12 times but were stopped by the Democrats but the sheep just listen to the lies and follow. So fuck them they get what they deserve. i feel sorry for the younger generations and dont try to preach anymore in face book I try hard to stay out of there, but when asked I will answer my true feelings.No matter who likes it. But when a guy like me says fuck it the country is in trouble because alot are tired of banging there head on the wall let the liberal win who gives a fuck I'm golfing. I dont give a fuck who becomes president I wont vote, and I wont do jury duty ever again.
