"It Is Now Post Time.
Plain Is Off.. I waited a little while today, too see if Plain maybe would do a Post.. What am I outta my fuckin mind. Took one look outside went to the mailbox, said good morning to the critters, they were all hitting rocks with sticks and trying too get them in a hole Sammy had dug in the pines..I think they want to become toads..They don't know it, but they already are..Anyway, when I saw the sky and felt the temperature, we had as about as much chance of Plain, doing a post as they have of me golfing...Caddying would be ok, as I understand if the golfer makes the hole in one the caddy gets the car..Sounds like a good job too me.. Road running again today.. Talking about jobs, remember the first one or the ones that left a lasting impression on your mind...I do...Bring it on into the Ville and share with us some of those experiences from a long time ago in a land far away.. On the road my friends will be back later...
First job was actually 7th grade Lionel Guerra, got it for me at Mrs. Linns bottling company.. It was at the corner of Manayunk Ave. and Lyceum Ave. across from Stanards Drug Store.. She had some kinda company where we had too stack boxes with different numbers on them and make them the same numbers.. I think I got paid l0.00 a day, really don't remember as I only lasted about two days, when she caught me and Yinell, shooting peas at each other out of real long pea shooters.. When she told us too get out, and she wasn't paying us, I got a good shot off and almost knocked her eye out.. She started screaming and I ran down the hill and into the house waiting for the cops again...They didn't get me that time.., but I kinda avoided that corner for about a year....Bring them on in...

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going my way as it did 49 years ago today when I gave birth to my most beautiful daughter. Happy Birthday Dear Daughter I love you endlessly! Oh by the way say a prayer for her as Simple is her Godfather. Just kidding Bro! We loves ya!
lets see my first real Job, It was in a wood Mill behind main St.I was a juinor in High school and John (the guy that ran north Light )whathis face walked in the pool room on main Street and ask if anyone needed a job.So 4 of us walked around there and got Hired. I was lucky enough to be on the back of the saw Mill that was cutting the 2 x 10's they were 12 foot long i WAS LIKE 125 lBS. Did that for the whole summer made 62 bucks a week brought home 42 and had to pay 20 room and Board. Which left me 22 smackers and a set of hands that would make Yogi Berra cry.Mt hands looked like the hunchback of Notre Dames face. I couldn't wait til school started so I could Quit and that I did.Then I got real smart and enlisted in the Marines.Nods and walks away.
Wow I think I was 6 or 7. Dave the paperboy would let me run his papers up and down the street, Houghton, Gerhard and Roxborough Ave. He would give me 5, 10 or 15 cents a week, depending on his tips. Hell that was a fortune. Up to Lovets to spend it...Damn, he was a nice guy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMSTER!! That is Strebors lovely daughter, what makes her even more lovely is I am her Godfather..Go ahead Plain, have a good time with that...
After my, peashooting incident, I was considered unemployable, until, here is a name from the past, DRUM ROLL EASY...................Nicky Lazzaro.... got me a job in the beginning of freshman year at Lippy's, furniture on Lehigh Ave. right at Clearfield.. I believe they come together at that corner, and I think I used to take the A local..make sense...if not remember who is writing this..Now at Lippy's I would have to help them move furniture around, and it only took me about two days too find the third floor sofa..you could hide on the third floor forever..Then I found the TV room, and would turn one on and keep it low, so I could watch some shows..(I could hear at that time)...I guess about a month in, Lippy or Lippy Jr. caught me napping and watching TV and fired my young ass..I remember telling Lippy Sr. that his store had roaches and his kid couldn't lift his side of the sofa..He was yelling GET OUT!! YOUR FIRED!! and I was yelling back..FUCK YOU I QUIT!!..I had just heard that expression for the first time on one of my shows..of course I added the FUCK YOU LIPPY..Anyhow, the car wash was soon to follow that summer and that is when work became work..
Leave your comment, that is what people should say about shit..Leave a shit..Why take it..who the hell thought of that statement?? I might have to research that, as you know how those little known facts amaze me..Well the madness is upon us. NIT games and NCAA games on as we speak.. Yep, it is that time of year again, one great tournament, and one great sports venue. It is one of the best run of all sporting championships, and everyone that is in a pool will be a watchin..Hey isn't sports betting illegal..HA!! there ya go, how they gonna lock the whole country up..See if we all stick together (never happen), we could get taxes reduced, wouldn't have too wear seat belts, would have more than two morons two vote for president..Man, I have some good ideas for a Simpleton.. Then again, somebody thought I was Plain.. Pullleeeeze, anything but that..
Hey, just got back from the critter hooch, they now want too build a golf course.., I think Plain has been hanging around here on the weekends, where else would they come up with a suggestion like that..golf course, I would rather build a fuckin pyramid....Don't know where you are Plain, but I sure hope..You and the rest of my Friends. Stay Out Of Harms Way..
TAPS...
