Mornin, Happy Birtday to my brother, Sergeant Thomas "Floyd" Flaherty." how the fuck did you ever see 65? Well it don't matter, it is a privilege not granted too everyone, and I know a whole lot of people that are sure happy you did.. I have been a blessed man just for having the privilege of calling you my friend and brother..Except for those twenty or thirty times you had try too kill me..Sorry about breaking that cast over your head, but at that time it seemed like a good idea..LMBO!!! Tom I think I speak for your family and your friends on this one. You are one unique human being (if you are human), we all love you man, you are one of the best men I have ever met. You have Character, Honor, Integrity, and Courage, above and beyond the call of duty.. You and me have been together since birth, somebody up there must like you..When you came home from the hospital in The Year Of Our Lord 1946. I was already in my first rack (crib) on Baker Street, I was your first Birthday present.. It is unbelievable that we have been together ever since, especially the things that we have gone through in this life.. From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse, we have and always will be brothers..I love you my man. Hey if the Big E was still here, he would say "Happy Birthday Iron Man.." Carry on Marine, many many more Birthdays , see you as soon as I can..
Hey Citizens, and visitors too the Ville, Saturday in the Ville so far we are still here. Place is kinda deserted except for me and the critters. Lots of spiders and bugs didn't make it back too the web or the nest last night, I was like the General, I was exterminating everything...Talk too me people.. WAKE UP PLAIN!!!!!!
I in my infinite Simpleness (ala McCool), call Floyd yesterday too wish him Happy Birthday, he says it's the 27th I say I know it is the 27th, he says evidently you don't because the 27th is tomorrow..LMAO!! After we stop laughing he says that's why you were a Lance Corporal for four years...See Jimmy Mc don't feel too bad you ain't the only one that doesn't know what day it is..Alrighty then, WAKE UP PLAIN!!! Man is incorrigible.. I know you at the other Goofy Toads ain't whackin your balls today.., you all may be together for a Saturday morning cartoon fest, but you ain't whackin your balls...Hey, I guess Irene is still headin for the Ville but last I heard it may be a tropical storm or a thunder storm.. Way too go Panic Land, fuckin New Jermany evacuates the whole shore area..That probably only cost the shore about a billion, and all the sheople had too drive home and watch it rain..I should be running this country..When I retire, (hopefully), I might take up politics. I could have Plain for my manager, we should be assassinated within the hour..Hey guys, give me some little known facts about Hurricanes..and let's have a good time on Floyd's Birthday....

Me and the guys were down in Cape Hatteras back in the 70's on our annual vacation. We were staying at Nags Head, so we had too drive South about 50 miles, periodically along the road we would see beach houses..and I knew Hatteras was the landing strip for Hurricanes, I wondered back then, why anybody would build a house there.. We get too Hatteras and start surf fishing winds in our face about 45knots.,or nots..I take a walk and come too a building, walk in and lo and behold it is a Hurrican Museum, yep right there in Cape Hatteras a fucking Museum dedicated too Hurricanes. Flash forward, last year we took our trip back too the Outer Banks we stayed in Nags Head, in a million dollar mansion and once again, I ask myself, why would you build a million dollar house on these Islands, it is definitely a recipe for disaster..but they keep doing it. Hope the people and the houses survive forever, but I doubt it...
Hurricane, Little Known Fact..Hurricanes until recently were named after women..The reason was hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, well how about a guy..I don't think guys like to get scorned either.I know I don't even like that word,,say it slow sccccoooorrrrneddd, has a bad ring too it, anyway I digress. Once woman got equal rights, they took over the show, not only did they get equal they got revenge. We the men, have been second class citizens ever since..but that is ok., but I digress. See Hurricane comes from the Latin term Hericanus, she is the goddess of wind..So every time it got real windy in Rome plebeians would say Hericanus must be pissed and the other plebeian would say or one of her daughters like Araplandus. So those two Plebeians started a name game, every time it got windy and stormy in Rome they would name it after one of Hericanus's daughters..yep, you heard it here first on Plain and Simple...
Lets see back in 1999 there was a Hurricane that came up the coast from Fla. to Maine , dropping 12 inches of Rain in alot of States causing millions in Damage and 57 Deaths,the winds wer 100 Miles per Hour with gusts up to 122.This lasted from Sept. 14th until Sept 18th. But I rember another Hurricane Floyd It happened in a place called the Lil Pub back in 1970 up in Plymouth Meeting lasted about 35 minutes 17 people went to the hospital 12 from a Motor cycle Gang and Five of us.Seems this gang wanted to take over the place and they walked in knocking people down and throring them aside, everyone in the bar moves away to the back of the place to get away from them, except this one Fellow that stood his ground at the Bar, myself Pat Renshaw and Monk were sitting at a table and we all sighed together as this Gentleman was surrounded by this unruley gang and Pat Said you ready???? Well this one guy from the Motor cycle Gang says to this Gentleman Floyd give me a cigarette and Tom Obligizes and slides his ciggies to this Dude, then the guy say give me a light, now mind you there are like 15 guys surrounding him watching this as so are we, but lil did they know on the other side of the bar at the Tables are Joe Renshaw , Buggsy,Ernie,Butch, Dave and a couple others, there all watching too.this guy takes Floyds Ciggies and puts them in his colors Jacket Pocket and says I said give me a lit, Well Floyd lit his ciggie with his lighter and was smilling with the other hand he knocked him out sparks went up in the air and these other 14 guys are so close to him there all trying to get him until the calvery arrived from the rear the sides and over the Bar, ahhh the good ole days so yes I rember two Hurricane Floyds, and BTW Floyd Happy Birthday.smirks and walks away.
Happy Birthday to Tumblin' Tom - one of my favorite people on this good earth! We will prolly always remember Hurricane Irene because it got to us on the one and only Floyd's birthday. Hope all of you are safe as we await this hyped-up Armegeddon. Seeing some rain right now but if the ass-holes we call weathermen/women or "meteorologists" are correct we won't see the worse until the nightime hours. Stay safe my friends. And, to Tumblin' Tom - Weebles wobble but unlike Tumblin' they don't fall down. I'll leave the story of the tumblin' one to Simple but it is a masterpiece. Love you all, may your Sunday be brighter than this Saturday.
Ahhh!! Plain, you are on about Hurricane Floyd and the Little Pub. Yep, landed up in the hospital again that night.. I hit this dude with a bottle and the blood splattered, little did I know he slashed my fucking hand with his knife. I thought I really clocked him good. I remember Joe Renshaw punchin some dude and knocked him and his girl down.. I told Joe I got her you get him..Rench got walloped because he started laughing so hard.. I remember Bugsy smashin some guy with a bar stool and some guy was smashing Bugsy with a bar stool, but it had no effect.. Ahh!! the good old days with the Boys of Burgerville.. Maybe that will be the name of the book.. "The Boys From The Ville." What ya think General.. I know you are on board you just told me..Ten Hut General on deck..LOL!!!!
Yes, I agree with all those statements. Tom and I said some good times when we were younger. He he a good man. Tell him I said have a great day. It is also Carol's Birthday today and Irene messed that up. I purchased her a house in Loveladies, right on the beach with 200 ft of beach frontage but we couldn't get down there to make settlement. Maybe next year.....
Its nice to know that I am not the only one who looses days. When you retire you will loose weeks and months, but you won't care. Are you and the merry band of men going south again this year for your annual trip? BBL HOw was Eck's last night for Floyd's party?
Hey Jim, shame about the house in Loveladies..Happy B'day Carol.. I think Floyd did tell me you guys had the same birthday..Yep Jim we are heading to Naples Florida in October. They told me it was Naples Italy..bunch of fuckin comedians, as you know from being a citizen here at Plain and Simple I am the only one with any sense and humor or sense of humor or good humor: Hey fudgie wudgie, eskimo pie give your tongue a sleigh ride. Floyd had his party at Harrah's last weekend, how many times we got to celebrate. Wait till you hear Plain moan on this one as I think I had like 12 birthday bashes..LOL!!!
