"It Is Now Post Time."
We're Off.. Do I remember where I was when Kennedy was assassinated, yes sir, getting my Tux out of that place on Ridge Ave. Why? because our senior prom was that night. You believe that shit!! Proms or any kind of formal affairs are not my forte', in fact I hate them.., but all my friends were buggin me to go, so I went.., and yes her name was Donna and yes I should have never asked her, and yes it took me 40 years to get revenge (story for another time) but man that def. is a dish better served cold..Much like that ham sandwich I handed her, out of my pocket at a Roman, Hallahan reunion.. I sometimes am not a very nice fella, especially if you fuck with me..With the assassination of Kennedy naturally came closings such as The Latin Casino and other entertainment venues across the U. S. we all wound up at the Hawaian Cottage, Me and Finn double dated..Lucky Carol..I want to say it was a great nite and it was, once I got rid of the date.., but WOW!! how time has flown..I never realized how close to Thanksgiving that was, and I never really understood why they had a prom in November.. In fact I have been called out on that very subject a few times, and always tell the argumentative one, that you do not want to bet me....
The Kennedy Assassination was just one of the many events during the sixties that destroyed the conscience of America..Never before, had something of this nature occurred in the general populaces life time..Never before had there been major protests against a War being fought at that time..Never before, had there been a significant sub-culture of Hippies that were espousing free love, turn on, tune in, and drop out.. Never before were so many new illegal drugs introduced into our culture and absorbed by so many people..Never before did another icon get Assasinated when Martin Luther King was shot, and Burn Baby Burn became the mantra of the inner cities as Detroit, Watts and many other cities were set on fire by the black population..If that isn't enough, Charlie Manson and his clan went on a murder rampage that shocked a nation that was already in shock, may as well take out the Presidents brother also.. Down goes Bobby Kennedy, and the nation was in for more they just didn't know it..Protest songs, demonstrations, killings of American students by the National Guard at Kent State. Need more, I don't think so, although there is a lot. Just remember there will never be another decade like the sixties, NEVER!! This country has never been the same idyllic place it was to grow up and advance yourself intellectually, socially and monetarily, it all died in the sixties, along with the MUSIC......

I got a comment. Here it is two days before Thanksgiving and we havent even had the Turkey trials yet. Little known fact, Yep, that is right. The Turkey Trials. Everyone knows that these beasts of the woods, were responsible for the blight of 1601, yep, they ate all the insects that year and none of the crops got fertilized and there was a drought and by winter everybody was panicking, when John Cromwell Smythe. He was the Head Pilgrim, he decalred every turkey in the land a criminal and put a price tag on their heads, and told the Pilgrims to capture and bring to trial as many as they could. See everybody thinks that the first Thanksgiving was about giving Thanks, when in actuality it had to do with murder and mayhem, yep murder the Turkeys and the Indians, and scatter their bones and ashes across the land. I digress..The Pilgrims went at the task of bringing in the outlaw turkeys in a fanatical way, much the same as they practiced their fanatical religious beliefs.. Why do you think Merry Old England gave them the boot and the Mayflower.. They were real religious zealots and a real pain in the Kings nuts.. I digress. The Turkey trials began on the last Wednesday in November, and lasted one day. All the turkeys, there were 24 original gobblers at the original trials were sentenced to beheading by the cleaver..The Turkeys began to gobble more as their necks were stretched at Theodore Zeal's butcher shop.. All the pilgrims were cheering as Tom was beheaded first. Theodore then flung him out into the raucous crowd, who by this time were so hungry that they actually started cooking the turkeys, as they came flying out of the butcher shop. The smell of the cooking Turkeys was so scrumptious,wafting through the November air, that when the neighboring Indian tribes smelled it they wanted to join in the feast..They canoed across the lake and brought with them, maze and orange potato's later known as sweet potato's or yams..As these three cultures meshed, (Turkeys, Pilgrims, and Indians) one could only surmise that there was trouble on the Horizon. The surviving Turkeys ran deeper into the woods as to not be beheaded. The Indians were approached by the Smythe gang and Smythe said How! One Indian looked at the other and said UGH!! The other Indian said LY!! Yep, that is where the word Ugly came from..The Pilgrims sat down with the Turkey's, Inians and Themselves, and said Thank You to the Indians, and as they said to each other in a whisper, for the maze, sweet potato's, and all the fucking land we are going to take in the near future. You heard it here first on Plain and Simple. Somthing is def. wrong with me..
My dear Plain, there just ain't any way we can get past talking about shit. The world is just too full of it!
Wow Thanks for the info Simple, I thought April showers Brought the May Flowers, and Those Pilgrims weren't too smart they wore their Buckles on their Hats, thats why there pants always were sliding down.
Great Point Strebor Thanks.
So that is where we got the song:
Pants on the Ground
Pants on the Ground
Lookin' like a fool
With your pants on the Ground
With the gold in your mouth
Hat with a buckle
No wonder your
Pants hit the ground
Written by: John Cromwell Smythe
You know what Plain? Now, that you mentioned it, those buckles were awfully high. That is a great little known fact. Who the fuck ever thought up that costume, no wonder the Indians said UHG!! LY!!
Yeah Jim, that is where we got the song Pants on The Ground, Pants on The Ground. Gold in the mouth...Yep, that is where we got it. whispering as I walk away (finn is whacked man)..Pants on the ground, pants on the ground. What the fuck am I singin..
Well everyone thought the Pilgrams wore baggy Pants, but it's not true they always slide down. Good thing they wore those long Naru Black coats.
And wasn't it John Wayne that hated Pilgrams? I think it was all because of what they did to Turkeys. I know he always said "Watch it Pilgram"
And that Poor Tom turkey got his head chopped off, throat cut, legs ripped off, heart cut out, and then they Still picked on him for like a week's after they knocked the stuffing out of him.
Little known fact!! The original Tom Turkey was beheaded at the First Tom Turkey Trials after the blight of 1601..The Turkeys that survived that holocaust wrought on them by the Pigrims, I mean Pilgrims, ran off into the thickest woods they could find. There the biggest guy Turkey declared himself the new Tom and became the head honcho, beings he was one of the few turkeys left with their heads on their Wish Bones, he immediatly started breeding with all the hens, and the Turkeys of yore became the Turkeys of today.. HA!! if the old time Toms would have known what was going to happen to their descendants, they may have thought twice about all that breeding. In the present day, there are not even trials, the turkeys just march into the butcher shop on their own, place their necks on the block, gobble one more time, then run around like a chicken without a head....
And, good ole' Bennie Franklin wanted the turkey to be the USA's national bird. Gobble-Gobble. Just think the Philadelphia Eagles might have been called the Philadelphia Turkeys. Ah, oops, they are turkeys.
Here we are so many years after the Kennedy assassanation, and I actually only saw one news show mentioning the plots that played out that day. Have people become so callous as too not really care anymore. Guess that is up to them to decide, as it is far and beyond this Simpletons thought process. Just seems like no one talks much about Lincolns assassination much anymore either. I guess generations tend to forget as time moves on..Just gotta watch that history stuff, because if you don't learn from it, you are bound to repeat it..
On another note today we finally clarified why Turkeys are slaughtered by the millions for a one day feast, they fuckin deserve it, as they caused the blight of 1601. So enjoy your wind and drum stick and white or dark meat whatever your preferrence and fuck old Tom Turkey and his gang of ruffians. Probably get a few bites of that white meat myself.
Well another profound day winding down here at the Ville. It is one dismal night in the Pines. Rain and Fog and Damp and Dreary and Nasty and Cold and Damp and Dreary..and, never mind I am starting to repeat myself. It is fuckin nasty..The critters are all in their hooch.
