"Today Is The 19th Day Of February In The Year Of Our Lord 2012." "Happy 1st Anniversary Plain and Simple."

"It Is Now Post Time."
We're Off. First things First, Happy Anniversary Plain and Simple,   it is almost inconcievable to me that a year has come and gone since the Ville's inception.. I think a little history would be appropriate.  This all started with my daughter hooking me up with a facebook account. Naturally being in the computer business for 25 years this was all new to me. LOL..Anyway I went on facebook and was having a good old time desecrating other peoples walls..I didn't know at the time that, that was what I was doing.. I would just write a comment to their comment and then start my ranting and raving, when lo and behold who is on the wall ranting and raving with me but Terry..This went on for a few months when, people probably getting sick of both of us told us to write our comments and then get off their wall. ouch!! not really in those words. About this time The General, and myself are having a conversation and he says, I read those comments you and Terry put on facebook everyday, you two ,should take that show on the road..That struck a chord with me, as my Father told me and Terry that we should take that show on the road about fifty years ago, but he really meant the road, you know like get outta town. LOL. Anyway, I started thinking, I wonder if me and Terry could start one of those blogs and it just so happened that my Man Easy Eddie, (computer genius) was coming to my shop on the 19th of February. So, I asked, let's start using his real name here, Plain, if he would be interested in writing his musings on our own blog. He had no idea what I was talking about, but he said sure..I said well we gotta pick a name.. He says Dumb and Dumber, I says that's good.  He says I'm Dumb, I said I know..LOL..Well, Dumb and Dumber was already a blog site..So, I tell Plain we need another name.. He says how about Plain and Simple...I say sounds good to me.. He immediatly blurts out. I am Plain.  I said, I am Simple.. He says I know.LOL. and lo and behold, we did it, with a lot of help from our friends. I am happy we did it, it has brought me a lot of joy on a lot of lonely nights in The Pine Barrens.  I would like to thank all the people that I have already mentioned. I would especially like to thank my brother Terry..who without him there is no Plain, and without Plain there is no Simple..I would like to thank Strebor, who is the best sister anybody could possible have, and for being a somewhat calming voice (at times). Last but not least, Jimmy McWhoever, who is a huge part of the Ville. We have come back together here after many years apart and nothing has changed..We are getting ready to build this Ville into what it was meant to be a menace to the Internet as Eddie wrote on the first post... I would also like to thank all of the people that commented and visited over the past year, it makes it all worth it as a lot of you said it makes you smile and laugh almost everyday..One last thank you goes out to Jay Nine, who instructed us on how to monetize and then wanted 10% for her expertise. Sounde good to me, so hey Jay Nine, I will be sending you a check for nothing as 10% of zero is nothing.:LOL  I haven't forgotten a lot of our commentators, I will catch up with as much as I can later.,I am going back to bed. I have a lot more additions to add to this post as I want to continue with the first years history, and I do have too define the nature of my relationship with The Critters Of The Ville.  Look forward to your comments and I will be back with more later.....

I would imagine that someone coming into the Ville for the first time, and seeing these ramblings about squirrels and MeereKats and other critters, would probably think I am seven years old. Well maybe eight.., but let me try and define the significance of each of these critters and how they came to live at the Ville over the past year..Hey guys this isn't easy..
1. Sam The Man The Squirrel, Ville Mascot and all around tough guy.
On one of our first posts I used an old philosophical question to try and get answers from our commentators.. If a tree fell in the forrest would it make a sound. My theory was of course it made a sound, just because a man wasn't there to hear it, doesn't mean it didn't rumble the earth when it hit..Then came the theory that Sam The Squirrel that lived in that tree and got flung across the forest when it fell, he fucking heard it..and as things progressed here at the Ville, it came to pass that the tree was across the road from my shop where I live and work. So naturally me and Sam became neighbors and he was also a flying squirrel and a huge drinking buddy and one mean little critter gotta love Sam, and oh yeah he can understand human and animal language..maybe I am nine.

2. Greeny The Parrot..We at the Ville are from a town in Philadelphia, named Manayunk, named by the Schuykill Indians, and means place where we drink. Very appro pro. There was a restaurant back in the 50's on Ridge Ave. at it was named The Green Parrot, when I was a kid, I know I still am, I hated to go out to eat..I still do..well the only place where my Mom would take me where I woudn't get thrown out LOL was the Green Parrot, because, yep, they had a real live parrot, who was always ARKIN..and I was mesmerized by this annoying bastard as other patrons were asking the owners to keep him quite while they ate. The legend goes that when we here at the Ville spoke of the Green Parrot, I guess Plain thought it would be funny to ride through here on his trike (he is six years old) and drop Greeny off too me..So now I have a Super Squirrel and an ARkin nemisis in Greeny The Parrot. Who naturally became Sams new drinking buddy.

3.Bily The Goat..true story, There is a bar on rt. 206 in Indian Mills, N,J, it is called the Pic-A-Lilli Inn, and it has been a Pine Barren Institution since 1918, when 206 was a dirt road. Well one of the main attractions back in the 70's was a goat that they would bring into the bar, and he would put his front legs on the bar and drink down shots and beers.. Honestly a true story, my friends from Philly came over to play basketball one night and they all met Billy and he and us got fucked up in The Pic. Billy had one horn and one broken one as one night he slid down the bar at broke a piece of his other horn..Well, Sam and Greeny were two drunks and how were they supposed to get drinks out to The Ville? You got it. Billy the Goat started delivering and thus joined the Ville as one of the critters..Maybe I am 11...

Gotta take a break..I will fill you in on the rest of The Critters later

It's been a Year already Simple? It seems like 10. But all I know is it makes me smile and laugh, so it's all worth it.And without Simple there would be no Plain. But more important without no McWhatever his name is today, and Strebor and all the write in people that come on here, even the one's that just read it it wouldn't be anything.So Ya'll come Back now hear.

Simple said...

Before I split for awhile let me go over McPics Pics..
Left to Right

My name is Ernest Keebler. Thus Ernie. That first fucking character is a picture of the Keebler Elf..yep, Ernie...

The next persona is one of Strebor, she of St. Johns fame, it doesn't really define Strebor although she is about ninety, she looks about 50.LOL no punchin sis. Or go smack McPicture..Love Ya Mar.

There is the General I been looking for that prick for a year..looks just like him..LOL love ya Joe.

Next we have McEveryMan, great addition here at the Ville and is one great guy, so happy that he joined in with us expecially under the alias of Burgerville and Coffee Shop Lover. You do a great job Jimmy. Love Ya Pal.

Last but not nearly the least. That hacker whacker is a picture of Plain, in his golfing gear..Like I said before, if there were no Plain there would be no Plain and Simple..I could not have done this without him. He makes me laugh almost everyday, even when he goes off on his political tangents, He is a very astute and humorous person. a wonderful man, and one of my best friends and brothers for almost sixty years.. You know how much I love you T..

As Ahnold said I will be back....

Finn Mc Sorry said...

Very well put.......And Strebor, I am sorry for the picture. The Elf and You are the only ones I couldn't change. I wanted to make you at the PRINCESS that Simple says you are but I couldn't. I was told by a very reliable source, two people that you met, that you were very atractive..........soooooo, at another photo op I will correct the mis-doing..........

Strebor said...

J.McPostingPictures, no apology needed as the picture kind of looks like my Dear Mom, and I'm so glad you are a member of the ville. Back atcha Bro, you are the best. Dear wise old thing, er I mean, jedi knight Plain, you know I loves ya! Happy One Year Anniversary all you crazy-assed citizens. Promise you will keep me laughing every day for as long as you can. About the critters, good stories Simple but Sam is still a rat with a tail and semi-wings; and Greenie is still a flying rat; and dear old Billy is just the same old drunken goat. Glad I don't reside too close to the ville. And, I think Simple may be lieing about his age (I know he lied about mine) I think he is about 8!

Simple said...

Hey Streebs nobody will believe I am 81 read my posts.Maybe of you inverted that tfo 18, they still may have problems with that..

OK let me continue on about what Mcdoesn'tknowtheday..refers to as the menagerie..

4. an 5.
Blat and Slat..they moved into The Ville when I started saying how fucked up our language is..You know same word to distinct or words spelled differently but sounding the same and two totally different meanings, plus throw in our slang and this is one fucked up language. Well I had two Slavs move into the Ville across the street from what is now known as my bunker, as lived in one of those things a long time ago in a land far away. Now on certain days I pick word or saying to try and teach them our language, and they take everything literally, like the other day I said I had to hit the road, and as I was pulling out in the truck they were kneeling down on the dirt road punching it..and oh yeah, they can drink..!!

6. MeereKat.. He is just not a MeereKat, and I am not sure how he go to the Ville, I know he is there because he most the time is my Bunky. I actually do have a MeereKat stuffed animal, with a Marine Corps hat on his head.., and when Plain came over to work with me one day, I introduced them. My Main Man Plain lost it that day..Yes he likes to drink it up also..

So I hope that helps anyone that had no idea what I am talking about when I reffer to the critters (or any subject), and understand that if they are in your mind STREEEEEEEBORRRR they are real.. I freak Streebs out because I pull my best Marty Feldman immpersonation on her and tell how I know this is all real..and she will say. Stop it Butch you are freaking me out..Muhhahahhahahhahaha!!

Simple said...

I fucked a few words up down there when I was explaining how fucked up our language is..I did that on purpose......................No I just fucked it up..Be back one more time..It is another Vodkaday because we are taking a Holiday for whatever reason tomorrow. Fine with me. Phil wants to go bet some horses, we have been pretty hot as we bet a race a night at his house..Fine with me..Talk to you in a little bit.

Streebs said...
