Mornin.. August die she must.. Comin to a screeching halt or a wind blown halt either one of the two.. I haven't heard too much about the hurricane a comin, but somebody did say it was heading up this way.. That is all I had too hear..I immediately ran to Buzby's General Store circa 1800's and bought every can of soup, pineapples, coffee in cans only, aspirin for HEADaches, bandages, toilet tissue, or shit paper if you prefer, beans, too go with the shit paper, a 1999 playboy too go with the shit paper..apples sauce too go with the beef jerky, two cans of syrup, to go with the pancakes, never mind put that back, got a box of stick matches non waterproof. A can of nuts (Sammy) Cans (Billy) whatever for the Slavs..crackers (Greeney) and all kinda assorted jerkey for me and Mere.. Let me see, bottled water,,,,,,hmmm.. Hey lady what the fuck you doin that is my stuff.. I'm taking it back to Jenkins Neck for me and Clyde. No ya ain't, get away from my stuff.. Hey Buzz tell her too get away from my stuff. Matilda, that is not yours dear, we made a delivery too your house last night, but I want those pineapples.. Yo, dude give her the pineapples and send her on her way.. Hey Ernie you better pay for this shit and get out here comes the Blueberry Crew, they are supposedly going to hold up in Blue Anchor.. OK here is the cash Buzz let's throw it in the truck and let me get outta here.. Is this hurricane going to whack the pines or what?? Don't know Ernie but you are well prepared, but who is going to eat all these nuts and jerky and beans and who the hell is going to use all this shit paper. Hey Buzz you know me my man, I live in a menagerie...I'll bet in the city little old ladies are getting run over in the Acme, people are buying enough water to open a car wash, got their kids shitting themselves, thus shit paper. Panic, may friends panic, something the American Sheople do well. Well whatever your panic mode remember this a ("kiss is just a kiss." "a smile is just a smile, as time goes by." that's not what I wanted to write). Panic mode is measured in tens, one too ten.. If you are a ten, you are a blithering fucking idiot right about now.. If you are a one, you are with me in the bunker, playing black jack with a bottle of Vodka.. One thing about the Good Old Mother Nature, ain't really a whole lot you can do about it.. If you don't like what is a comin, get the fuck outta here.. Me I got work too do.. Yo, tell me some stories about you or people you know in a Mother Nature type of panic situation and how they act..
I remember Hurricane Hazel, I guess mid 1950's, my Dad decides too stay out late with his buddy's, Me, My Mother and Sister are all in the same bed, my Mom has us saying the rosary, when lo and behold I hear. "Cab Driver, drive by Mary's place." blaring down stairs. Naturally I thought it was somebody from heaven that came too save us from the Hurricane, nah, just The Big E, and his cronies drinking a few dozen rocks and listening too the Mills Brothers. Well that was a little much for my Mom too take so she booted them all out, and I remember him climbing over a tree with a rolling rock in one hand and yelling.."do you believe she kicked us out in the middle of a hurricane.. Needless too say, at every family gathering from that time till the day he departed this world, he would have to relate that story too anyone that would listen.. The older I got the more I laughed about it.. I could swear sometimes I even saw my Mom put her head down and try to hide her laughter.. R.I.P. Mom and Dad and Hazel.........................................

Hey, four months till Christmas..
OH thank you so much for that Christmas warning - the decorated trees, etc. will start to appear in the malls, etc. very soon. They will be glaring at you along with the pumpkins, ghouls, costumes for the 'Ween, which are already glaring at you as I write this, along with the gobblers for Thanksgiving. Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee ho I can't wait, not.
The hurricane Hazel story about the big "E" and his crony, not cronies, Marty T. always comes up as Simple says at family gatherings and of course whenever a hurricane may be threatening us. That is my first memory of a hurricane and you were right on the money about it being in the
50's; to be exact sometime in October of 1954 on a Friday. I was a freshman in HS at St. J's and we were supposed to have the annual Sadie Hawkins dance (can anyone tell me the origin of the Sadie H. dance - you get a gold star if you know) that evening and it was postponed, which did not make me very happy. The next day a few select students went downtown with Sr. Mary Francis to see "Panorama", you know the first movie where you felt like you were in the front seat of a roller coaster and other stuff. It was a big dissappointment.
But to get back to the present, it looks like we are in for another soaker and boomer today. Irene, if she stays on course, will get us Saturday night into Sunday morning, which prolly means the annual St. J's reunion at Wildwood's Lighthouse Pointe, will be cancelled. I hope Irene goes off course. If not I think we are in for a big hit. They are calling her a big, fierce hurricane. Another question for all of you, when did the weather become such a big news item? Yeah, I can see if it is a hurricane, tornado or some other natural disaster but just your ordinary summer thunderstorms? I don't remember the sheople running out to the stores because they thought they would be stranded for days because of a thunderstorm! Like you said Simple the old ladies are running each other over at the Acme, etc. OK, I've rambled enough BBL.
Lets see Sadie Hawkins Day was on Nov 9TH every year it started in 19 Hundred and 34 in the Year Of Our Lord, and it is a lil known fact that on this day unmarried woman got to chase the Bachelors in Dogpatch and if they caught them they could Marry them.As a matter of fact around Nov. 1st every year all the Bachelors in Dogpatch would leave and head up North to Intercourse Pa. nods yep some went to Blueball Pa. too and No One would hang around with Joe Btfsplk around November that was the kiss of Death, you prolly get caught by Some girl that looked like Salomey Yokum, Myself I woulda let Daisy Mae Catch me, cause if you do that intercourse stuff too much then ya end up in that BlueBall Place nods and walks away.
Give Plain that Gold Star!!!!
Walks into the Ville smilling, picks up my Gold star and puts it on my forehead, looks around for my Holy Card, holds out my hands wher is my Holy Card ? Did Simple take it? So not fair I won them fair and Square.
But I am ready for the storm I have my rubber Duckie on and have a new patch on it so it's rwady to go.I'm heading to the store now for Milk , bread , wated and duct tape.I rember what we were taught in the Boyscouts before we got kicked out for fighting, but I learned alot in that hour, The scout master said "always be repaired" yep so I patched ole Duckie up and I'm ready for anything. I should be back in a few hours cause every time I wear this out I get in fights with assholes that arent ready for the storm, skips away.
I agrees with Plain, Lil Abner..He can have the gold star that is the first and last one the poor wretch will ever get..He will be wearing that thing on his head and having Joe Tin call him General..LMBO!!
The Ville is in for an experience this weekend. I think it should be a Vodka Weekend. At least you won't have a mandatory ejaculation, or maybe all the critters will demand it. That should be intertesting in that bunker this weekend. Go to WaWa and stock up on your meals. Don't forget to get menagerie food. Keep us up to date. Plain will be whacking on Saturday and Sunday. He gets a good wind behind him and he will be about 350/400 yds. teeing off. Enjoy the excitement and say safe.
Batten down the hatches - Irene is a-comin"!
TAPS.............................
Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the hills,
from the lakes.
from the sky,
all is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.
Thanks Strebor. Cannot depend on a Simpleton, with no self control..LOL!!
