A friend of the site who does not type very well contacted me and wished to post an audio comment for me. Thanks, Carl.
Have a Great Weekend, Everyone!!!!
It's A Sick World And I'm A Happy Man
I have never put too much stock in Numerology, but sometimes I am intrigued by how certain sequences of numbers pop up. Recently a friend and co-worker informed me that in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the time was 01:02:03 of 04/05/06 and this sequence of military time would not be repeated for a thousand years.

As the sound of clanging metal, the blast of gunfire, and the roar of an unnatural beast shattered the stillness of the night, Phred, Cleveland and I rushed to the sound of the Bigfoot attack. When we arrived, Big D and Crazy Dan were being tossed around like rag dolls by three of the largest mangiest beasts that I have ever seen. Not waiting for the others behind me, I launched myself for the attack. Just as I reached the foul smelling beasts, the entire area was bathed in an eery green light and a strange throbbing hum vibrated me to my very bone.
When I regained my senses, I realized that I had been transported to the alien craft. I looked around and it appeared that I was the only member of the hunting party to be transported to the alien craft. I was alone in the midst of various extraterriestrial creatures. Some appeared alien much like the classic vision of aliens in popular culture but there was one creature that appeared human and seemed to be the leader of the group. He walked up to me and said, " Fuzz, I'm yo Daddy." I could not run and was too shocked to fight, so I sat and waited for an explanation.
replied that they were being prepped for anal probing. I told him to stop. These were my friends and should not be subjected to any sort of probing, particularly of the anal variety. The creature, who claimed to be my father, then instructed one of the strange looking extraterrestrials to go and halt all examinations of the humans.
The alien, who told me his name was Slix Bob 69, appeared saddened but then told me that I must learn of my heritage. He took me to what appeared to be a computer monitor and affixed various wires to my head. It was just like in 'The Matrix', images pored into my brain and soon I knew the entire history of the planet of my birth ( actually I was born on a moon of the planet Yonder, known as OverYonder.). I learned of my father and mother and the sacrifice that they had made to ensure my safety.
unt to bring any sort of foodstuff was Phred, who had brought a case of vending machine goodies topheavy on the granola bar side of the food pyramid. Crazy Dan immediately harassed Phred over his choice of victuals. He launched his assault, "Damn Phred Phucker granola bars aren't food. That shit is what you put out to bait squirrels." Sensing an escalation in hostilities, I retrieved the sandwiches that Angry Joyce had packed for us. I was scared to eat them myself for Angry Joyce's last words to me were, ' Here's your damned sandwiches. I have been up since the crack of noon making them. Hope you and those morons enjoy.'
hungry and a granola bar was all that I needed. When the guys opened the bag, I was happy that Phred had brought the vending machine grub. I do not know where Angry Joyce was able to find the culinary delights served up by 'Fear Factor' but she really had outdone herself ( I am going to have to ask her where she found a banana slug on such short notice.) As Cleveland, Phred, and Crazy Dan were staring at their sandwiches with a look of horror and shock, Big D was putting those sandwiches away like a starving man at an all you can eat T-Bone Steak Buffet. After Big D had finished his fill of 'Fear Factor' sandwiches, and the rest of us had consumed a portion of the vending machine goodies, we all tucked in for a days rest.
We then reformulated our set up. Crazy Dan and Phred would guard the entrance to the canyon. This would alleviate Crazy Dan of the temptation of the goats and he could also keep a close eye on Phred in case any deer in the area mistook him for a doe in heat. Cleveland would keep an eye out on top of the canyon. This would save him from being shot in the ass if he had another attack of loose bowels. Big D and I would sneak in amongst the goats and bag the chupacabras when they attacked.
one live chupa to give over to scientists for a nominal fee. The rest of the A-Team rushed over and we rejoiced greatly in our victory making our way back to the camp.
Just as we finished cleaning the Chupa, I heard those vocalizations again. I stared a hole through Cleveland but he immediately stated that he had set his cell phone to vibrate. No sooner had the words escaped his mouth, when a mighty roar erupted and the sounds of clanging metal and the blast of gunfire shattered the silence of the night. The smell of the blood of the chupacabra must have aroused the BigFoots and we were under attack.
Friday after all of the A-Team were off work. We gathered up and went to 'Tips Liquor Store,
Grocery, and Adult Supercenter' for last minute supplies. Big D had already stocked up on his supply of Jim Beam, but Phred needed Gin, Cleveland needed various and sundry exotic ales and brews, I needed Cuervo along with a cooler full of Bud, Crazy Dan isn't finicky about liquor but we had to drag him out of the adult supercenter aisle. (He was a bit pissed as we told him we didn't have time for him to pick out the perfect inflatable party sheep.)
We arrived at the Goat Ranch well before dark and set up our campsite far from the goat herd. After quickly pitching our tents, we sat around and proceeded to discuss our plans while drinking from our stores of liquid courage. The goat herd was situated in a box canyon with only one entry. I thought that this would fall into our hands perfectly. With only one way in and one way out the chupacabras would have to use this corridor. Although the sighting of the chupacabra was reported to have wings, he was not seen to be flying. I hypothesized that maybe it was like a turkey or a quail and could not fly long distances or was loathe to fly and would only do so as a last resort.
collection of Lord of the Ring replica weapons and Cleveland with a sawed off shotgun would position themselves on either side of the entrance to the canyon. This was for two reasons if they had a chance at a good shot or stab at a chupacabra, they would be in a good position and if any Bigfoots (or as they are known here, Dickens County Treehuggers) tried to get in on the action then they could pounce on them. Crazy Dan, armed with a .357 and I , with my PS-52 laser slingshot, would sneak in amongst the goats and be right there should a chupacabra attack.
cautions for complete silence, Dan was driving me crazy rating the individual goats as if they were potential hookups at a singles bar. Just as boredom started setting in, a strange noise came from a pocket of cedar trees, the noise sounded strangely familiar and I knew that it must be the vocalizations of a Bigfoot, I wheeled around and through my night vision goggles I saw a large ugly hairy face staring towards me with a hideous brown eye. I took quick aim with my PS-52 laser powered slingshot and let fly. I knew that I hit my mark when I heard a blood curdling scream but was surprised when the screaming turned to cursing. I walked over to the creature and discovered that the vocalizations were the ring tones from Cleveland's cell phone and at the time he received his call, he was doing what came naturally to bears in the woods. As he rubbed his ass in pain from the slingshot ball, I apologized and cautioned him to set his phone to vibrate.
on. When we reached Phred he was on all fours being attacked by a Whitetail Buck. Big D chased it off with a sword and I went to see if Phred was hurt. I asked him why a damn deer had attacked him. He replied, " I was worried about the scent of human chasing away the chupacabras and so I rubbed deer lure comprised of doe in heat urine on myself." It was just his bad fortune to be attacked by a horny buck. The buck had come out of nowhere and knocked him down and separated him from his weapon. He was extremely fortunate. If Big D and I had not gotten there in time and if not for the tough denim of his Wrangler jeans, Phred would have been anally probed and we hadn't even seen any aliens.
ourselves once more. Nothing more happened that night. I suppose all of the commotion from the incidents of the night scared away all beasts whether natural or unnatural. We headed back to camp. The A-Team was dejected but I had no fears for success Saturday night for I had the will, the firepower, and a new plan. Success would be guarenteed.
biting off more than I could chew. Therefore I decided that I must build an elite team of hunters, men both bold and brave, men that would fear nothing, men ready to take on the strange and unnatural, and men who could pony up and help split their liquor store bill. I have enlisted the help of my friends, the phearless Phred, the cunning Cleveland, and my brothers Big D the Bold, and the crafty Crazy Dan.
Sometimes the muses sing to me with a voice to loud to ignore and sometimes I strain to hear their voice only to hear the weight of their silence bearing down upon me.The little boy asks her if she stopped liking chicken salad sandwiches. She replied, " No, I still like them but I have to stop eating them because I am starting to grow feathers." The little boy asks her if he can see. She agrees to show him on the playground at recess. At recess, they go behind the bushes and the little girl raises her skirt and drops her panties. The little boy tells her, " You are growing feathers. You probably stopped eating chicken salad sandwiches just in time."
Soon the little boy brings a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to lunch. The little girl asks if he has stopped liking chicken salad sandwiches. He replies that he still likes them but that he has started to grow feathers himself. She asks, " Let me see them." He agrees to show them to her on the playground at recess. At recess, they go behind the bushes and he drops his pants and undies. The little girl looks up at him in shock and tells him, "You're too late. You have already grown the neck and a couple of gizzards."
This was one of my father-in-law's favorite jokes. In today's society, this joke could never happen. Either the little girl or the little boy would be busted for sexual harassment.
I like infomercials. It is an affliction I suppose. I never buy the crap that they are shelling out. For me, they are simple mindless entertainment of a special kind that allows me to turn off the stresses of the day. The thing that amazes me the most about them is how they can find such a plethora of down on their luck actors. How these actors can sit there and smile gracefully while stooping so low is a wonder in and of itself.
I have been rather busy this week so this post is a rerun. It is from the very early archives of Blugstuff. Back then I had a readership of about five and they were friends and family. It was also before Big D had built me this template so I was using a standard template that was as bland as boiled chicken. So without further fanfare here is my ode to the sickness that is my brain.










I am throwing my support for Governor of Texas to Kinky Friedman. I doubt very seriously that an independent can win the Governors office although it did work for Jesse Ventura up north.







Since the end of the fiscal year is rapidly approaching, I thought I would commemorate the event with a top three list. Cue the drum roll, maestro.
