Thoughts passing by.

There is everybody too: 

 

 

I hope you find a parade today.  

Feel the pounding of the drums; 

The energy of John Phillip Sousa.  

And find a moment to stand still,  

As the Taps they solemnly play. 

 

Why am I still wearing heavy fleece at the end of May” No, it isn’t climate change. It is always cold here in late May and even June as the winds blow in across a fifty-degree sea. And maybe, it’s just that I’m just too damn old. 

 

When you are out walking without a care the world, consider that another person passing by may have just heard of or experienced a tragic personal insult to the core of their life. So maybe a smile would be helpful, but never worry when somebody can’t smile back. We just never really know, do we. We should aways be aware. We are not alone in this world.  

 

How did living breathing organisms just emerge out of the nothingness of space? 

 

The Question: 

Name the ten funniest “Clean” comedians.

The kid who couldn’t get his new bike going had rider’s block. 

 

I watched NBC news person Molly Hunter trying to playfully coerce the Ukraine military honcho Mykhailo Podolyak into revealing the launch date for their counterattack. He she Nuts? And why is he even talking to a journalist about a counterattack? Is he nuts? Are journalists so selfish that they would overlook the possible ramifications of putting people in jeopardy for a scoop. Remember, “Loose lips sink Ships”. Russia doesn‘t need spies any more. They have American “Journalists”. 

 

Will there be a hotter ticket ever in Boston than the one for tonight's hoped for Celtic’s miracle game against the Miami Heat.   

 

An alien observer has determined that intelligent life on earth is not the one picking up poop for the other. (Thanks to Wiley)  

 

How come Americans all decide to travel on just 6 weekends when there are 46 other weekends where it wouldn’t be such a hassle. On big weekends these days, staying home is the vacation. 

 

I was happy to see Roger Penske’s Driver Josef Newgarden win the Indy 500.  

 

I see where Ford hasn’t totally lost their minds. Just because technology allows streaming radio, it doesn’t mean streaming radio is a better idea. Ford was going to eliminate the AM radio option on new cars but changed their minds, but actually not for the right reason... that AM is good for local information and opinions. I certainly don’t need national streamers and podcasts to make me more aware of the world.  

 

Because I sit in a black chair, I spend a lot of time looking for an array of my black remotes. 

 

The Answer: 

Number one according to a poll answered by 4,000 voters is Nick Bargatze. He is followed by Dusty Slay, Brian Regan (A favorite of mine), Jim Gaffigan, Aaron Weber, Broan Bates, Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, Tim Hawkins and Bill Engvall (Another Fave). I like Foxworthy too. Old timer Victor Borge is #18. 

 

 

For today as we near the end of May I thought I'd go back in time for this amusing tune that always made me smile. How frivolous and fun were some of the songs of yore:
