I Try To Learn A New Word Every Day. Some Of Them I Try To Unlearn As Soon As I Learn Them.


Today my New Word is “Fave”. Being Sly, Cunning and Alert I quickly caught on that this was short for “Favorite”.

I wish I had not caught on so quickly. As soon as I realized that I had figured out such a Cool Modern Word I started to fear people were going to start calling me “Dude”.

Actually I knew I was in trouble a long time ago when I figured out that “Celeb” was short for “Celebrity”.

Oh well, at least I’m not famous because then I would be a “Celebrity Dude”.
***************
We are all well aware that the Internet was invented to…
Ø Not let us relax without being interrupted constantly by a Notification about Useless Information that just popped into our Smartphones.
Ø Allowing you to worry about things that you can’t do anything about but worry about like a Ferry Boat overturning 6,872 miles away from where you are and killing a bunch of people who you would never ever have met in your entire life.
Ø Letting you know that you are terribly out of style because you just bought new jeans and you are ashamed that you could not afford holes in your new jeans so you bought the cheaper ones without holes and you are about to get to work with your scissors, your wire brush and your hammer so you can put holes in them and you are praying to God in heaven that no one will be the wiser that your holes are Cheap Wearer Created Holes and not Cool Store Bought Holes.
***************
Oh yea, back to how “Fave” jumped out at me…

My phone just showed me an ad that was headlined…
Faves from Ellen DeGeneres!
Right next to the cutest picture of Ellen you ever saw are these words…
Ellen’s Fave List
My back-to-school faves for a cool school year.
Love,
(Ellen’s Cool Signature)

Ellen’s First Fave: Wonder Nation Clear Backpack…Stylish & see-through, so you’ll know if you forgot to pack Timmy’s lunch. (I wonder if it would work just as well if you child was not named Timmy but was named Papoose?)
Ellen’s Second Fave: Boon Bento Lunch Box…Shaped like snail so kids will have the most adorable lunch possible. (Maybe that’s why I turned out the way I did. I can’t ever remember eating even one Adorable Lunch at St. Anthony of Padua Grammar School.)
Ellen’s Third Fave: ZIPIT Wildings Pencil Case…Fun moms get their kids fun pencil cases. That’s all there is to it. (If my Mother were still here, she would be proud that she was not a Fun Mom and I would love her even more for standing her ground.)

It’s hard to imagine how Timmy and Papoose will not get all A’s with all these Cool Ellen Faves.

How Did We Get To This Point?

The Internet loves Lists. Any day of the week you can spend gobs of time (probably your whole day) reading through Lists.

I just stopped pecking this Blog Posting and went to the Internet to find 3 Lists…
•10 Bizarre Claims That Humans Didn’t Originate on Earth
•10 People Who Vanished Only To Mysteriously Reappear
•10 Animals With Cannibalistic Sex Habits

The list that caught my eye and prompted me to start this Blog Posting was… 
The NFL's Most Hated Players Ever, Ranked
This list struck me as kind of stupid and a waste of time but I wasted my time and read through it.

When I got to # 22 (of 40) I was saddened and shocked by the last 4 words in Tim Tebow’s write up…
“On the surface, Tebow seems like an impossible person to hate, but there was plenty of disdain for him during his time in the NFL. Tebow was mostly hated for the hype surrounding him, but also drew scorn for being a devout Christian.”

How did we get to the point where Being a Devout Christian has become a reason for Scorn in the Good Ole USofA?

Never Trust A Papoose


Friday I lost a Hearing Aid. I have looked in all the places it could possibly be but I have about given up. Change that to I have given up. 😢

One of the places where I could have lost it was Kroger. After I looked at all the places in Kroger where it could have been I went to Customer Service and got in line.

My plan was to ask if it had been turned in to their Lost and Found and, if not turned in, leave a note with their Crack Staff with my Name and Phone Number on it in case it is turned in later.

As I stood in line I started to get an uneasy feeling about just how efficient Kroger’s Crack Customer Service Staff was…
  •         The girl behind the counter had a tattoo on her neck. 
  •            As I got closer I saw she had several tattoos on her arms.
  •         There was no symmetry in her choice of tattoos…a Chicken Head, Chinese Writing, a Hockey Stick, something that looked like it could have been a Frog or a Lizard, etc.

When I got to the head of the line I began to feel reassured. 

She had a very pleasant smile, she seemed interested and sympathetic to my tale of woe and she had nothing hanging from her nose.

She took my piece of paper with my Name and Phone Number on it and pledged to call me if my hearing aid came into Kroger’s Lost and Found.

Then, as I turned away, I noticed her name on her name badge. It was Papoose! I got a sinking feeling. What kind of person has Papoose for a name? With or without tattoos can a Papoose Person be trusted?

I slowly walked back to my car with a growing feeling of apprehension.
***************
Two day later I went back to Kroger to see if any miracles had occurred while I was away.

The nice untattooed middle aged lady behind the Customer Service Counter left no stone unturned but she not only did not have my hearing aid but she found no traces of my Note with my Name and Phone Number on it.

Never Trust A Papoose.

Where Have I Been?


It has been a long time since I blogged. I know (hope) you missed me and you probably have been thinking…
Ø I Gave up the Ghost. (Before moving on to the second bullet I searched “Gave up the Ghost” & found this… “Immediatly the angell of the LORDE smote him, because he gaue not God the honoure: And he was eaten vp of wormes, and gaue vp the goost”). Since I don’t like either worms or wormes, I decided to come up with other bullets that you might be thinking about me.)
Ø I decided to not blog any longer. (That’s not what happened.)
Ø I was not able to get on the Internet for 4 days. (That’s what happened.)

However, my Internet Service Provider performed like one of its TV Commercials and jumped right in and restored my Internet Service immediately. (That’s not what happened.)

Actually, I have had the Internet back for several days but I have been consulting with my Book Publishing Adviser about letting the world know about this whole awful experience by way of the publication of my second book.

We have decided on a title… 4 Days Is A Lot More Than 4 When Your Internet Service Provider Comes To The Rescue.

The title was easy. The rest of the time we were trying to decide whether or not we could keep it under 200 pages.

Here is what actually happened (in no particular order)…
Ø I got cut off while talking to my Internet Service Provider and had to call back (more than once).
Ø I was told that there were No Other Reported Problems with their service in my area.
Ø I was twice given a Definite Appointment Time but the technician did not show up.
Ø One time the technician showed up when I did not expect him.
Ø The first technician said he was from the Maintenance Department (remember “Maintenance Department”) and he confirmed that my Internet Service was not working (I told him I already knew that) and because it was not working he had to kick it up to Higher Level Technicians for repair.
Ø He left me to wait for the Higher Level Technician to arrive.
Ø When the Higher Level Technician finished his in-depth analysis he again confirmed that the Internet Service was not working but he said his department was not the department that should handle this particular type of repair and he would have to send in the Maintenance Department.
Ø I did not tell him that the Maintenance Department had already been here and had kicked it up to his department because I was speechless.
Ø He left me to wait for the Maintenance Department to arrive.
Ø While one of the Technicians was working on my problem, my next door neighbor came out of her house and said her Internet Service was not working. (Remember the second bullet above?)
Ø While another one of the Technicians was working on my problem, my neighbor from across the street came up and said his Internet Service was not working. (Remember the second bullet above?)
Ø All through these kept and not kept appointments I was receiving emails telling me that my Technician was going to be at my house between 8 and 9 PM.
Ø Near the end of the saga one of the Appointment Confirming Ladies told me that the 8 to 9 pm did not mean 8 to 9 pm but only meant that they would be out sometime that day between 8 am and 9 pm.
Ø On several occasions the Internet Service Provider’s Computer would call me and announce that it was calling to confirm an appointment and then put me on hold for anywhere from 25 to 50 minutes before a non-computer person came on the line to confirm the next appointment.
Ø On 2 occasions I got another Computer Call within 10 minutes of the Prior Computer Call’s Termination that made me wait me just as long as the Computer Call in the above bullet and the eventual non-computer person had no knowledge of the Prior Computer Call or the time confirmed by the Prior Computer Call.

All’s well that ends well…Or is it?

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: The saddest part is, now that I can connect again to the outside world, the Talking Heads are still screaming at me and talking faster than my hears can hear the same way they were doing before my Internet Service Provider came to my rescue.

How to Save the Taxpayers of the Good Ole USofA A Lot of Money


I’ll bet many of my Dear Readers are shocked at the above Subject of the Blog Posting. I’ll go out on a limb and say that many of you don’t even think it is legal to save the taxpayers any money much less a lot of money.

This revolutionary idea comes to us from the world of Professional Tennis. Last year the Grand Slam Tournaments instituted a new policy whereby they can Fine First Round Players for not trying. In other words, the players can now be fined for the transgression of not making any effort to earn their prize money by trying to win their prize money.

It actually happened this year at the just-completed Wimbledon Grand Slam. A player made so little effort against a player who is on the downside of a once bright career that he was fined His Entire Purse of $56,000.

He put out so little effort that he could honestly go back to wherever he came from and answer his next-door neighbor this way when asked, “Did you play at Wimbledon this year?” by saying, “No”.
***************
So much for this Blog’s Introduction because I can see you are wondering how Saving Taxpayer Money fits into any of this. The answer may surprise you because it comes from a place where you never think of when you think of Saving Money…the Congress of these United States.

How many times have you seen a Member of Congress on TV that you have never seen or even heard of before? It happens to me a lot.

I know I am looking at a Member of Congress who is a candidate for having his entire Salary Forfeited when I Google the never-before-seen Member of Congress and find out he has been in Congress for 27 Years and his career high point was when he renamed his Hometown Post Office in the Name of His Brother-In-Law.

A huge amount of taxpayer money could be saved if these Do-Nothing Members of Congress were to forfeit their salaries and be forced to make do by living off Padding Expense Accounts and Kick Backs from Special Interest Groups. (They will still be well “paid”.)

As Captain James Tiberius Kirk used to say on those TV Commercials, “This could be big, realty big!”

Would I kid u?
Smartfella

Lagniappe: If we could then start taking back the salaries of those Members of Congress that do something stupid, both Captain Kirk and Forrest Gump would really get excited.

There Has Been A Dramatic Increase in Applications from Men Over 70 Years of Age for Sex Change Surgery!


Addendum to this already published Blog Posting
I have been called to task by one of my Dear Readers! I know you find this hard to believe but it happened. I will not try and quote what was said (emailed) to me but I will give you a bullet-pointed Gist of the Attack on my credibility…
Ø Fella, you say Dad’s have no place to go.
Ø I have just seen the commercial you mentioned in your Blog Posting and I saw a couple of men who were in the commercial.
Ø This means you are exaggerating or you are outright lying about saying that A Place for Mom is only for Mom’s.

Dear Picky Dear Reader, you have cut me to the quick. You must be a new Dear Reader because, if you were a long time Dear Reader, you would know that I don’t make mistakes. The answer to your little-faith-in-me baseless attack is simple…
Ø I mentioned that many applications are being submitted for Sex Change Surgery.
Ø There is a long waiting list.
Ø The men you see in the commercial are the ones that have already had their Applications Approved and are simply waiting for their scheduled time on the table to come around.
Ø This not only allows them to start getting acclimated to where they are going to spend their declining years but there is also an issue of limited space in the Shipping Box Cars to the Left Coast and this apparent act of kindness serves to help relieve that Space Limitation Problem.
Ø There is also a problem with a Shortage of Cardboard Boxes but that is not considered critical because production is being ramped up as we speak and the shortage will be a thing of the past any day now.
End of 7/26/19 Addendum
***************

***************
The Federal Government was stumped as to why men, after the age of 70, are stampeding to hospitals and back alleys all over the Good Ole USofA to have their sex changed from Male to Female.

Of course, Smartfella is the first person Washington D.C. Bureaucrats seek out to find answers when they get stumped (this happens a lot).

Unusually I treat them with a lot of respect when they ring my doorbell in a panic like they were in a panic this time. However, because this answer was so obvious I lost my patience with them. I let them have it with both barrels.

I spoke to them in Bullet Points to make it as plain as I could because they can be slow on the uptake…
Ø You guys make big salaries.
Ø You guys think nothing about writing new legislation that will raise our taxes, raid our IRA savings accounts, write regulations that neither you or us folks back home can understand and you can’t be fired.
Ø Then every time I turn around you are flying into wherever I am to ask me about things you ought to already know about.
Ø That time I was driving between Montgomery and Mobile and you landed that Black Helicopter right in front of my car to ask me a question was a surprise but I saw the complexity of your dilemma and was glad to help.
Ø This issue is so apparent that I have a good mind to send you packing.

I started to show them the door but they gave me that Puppy Dog Look and they started to Whimper and I relented and gave them the benefit of my vast store of knowledge.

I continued in Bullet Points…
Ø Do you not watch TV?
Ø Have you not seen the hundreds of ads by that lady who used to be famous about where all the over 70 years old Females are headed?
Ø Gentlemen, think about the name of the place they are going to live in for their declining years.
Ø Don’t you see it yet? (They did not yet.)
Ø It called A Place for Mom
Ø That’s it!
Ø There is no ad for A Place for Dad!
Ø Where are the Dads going to go?
Ø It’s all over the Internet that Dads are being shipped in box cars to the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle!
Ø To add insult to injury, as they get off the box cars, they are being charged for their Cardboard Boxes!
Ø Just where do you think all these Homeless People have been coming from?
Ø If we simply change our sex from Male to Female, we too will have A Place to Go!

It was dramatic when the realization of what I had just told them got through their Bureaucratic Thick Sculls. They looked so relieved.

After they left I felt really pleased that I could help my country but I quickly returned to my own problems and how I am still worried about where I’m going to go.

I’m gonna check on my Surgery Application first thing in the morning.

Making the News…Or Is It…Not Making the News?


First Published December 2005

Stop and think with me a moment... Who is in the news? Most often those that we hear about are people, politicians, actors, athletes or such doing bad things...
  • Getting drunk and driving.
  • Overdosing on drugs.
  • Stealing.
  • Lying.
  • Cheating.
  • Taking steroids.
  • Sleeping with someone with which they are not supposed to be sleeping.
And so on and so forth.

Usually, if you go about your life doing good things, you don't make headlines. Here is a good example. Below you will find what a famous person we all know has been doing for the last 36 years:
  • He explored the North Pole with Sir Edmund Hillary.
  • He taught for eight years at the University of Cincinnati as University Professor of aerospace engineering.
  • He acted as a spokesperson for Chrysler Corporation, General Time Corporation and the Bankers Association of America. He makes it a practice to only act as a spokesman for United States businesses.
  • Along with acting as a spokesperson, he also served on the board of several companies including Marathon Oil, Lear Jet, Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company, Taft Broadcasting, United Airlines, Eaton Corporation, AIL Systems and Thiokol. The last he joined after serving on the Rogers Commission investigating the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster caused by a problem with the Thiokol manufactured solid rocket boosters.
  • He co-founded the Institute of Engineering and Medicine at the University of Cincinnati, which has improved heart-transplant surgery using space engineering.
  • For two years he was Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics, NASA Headquarters Office of Advanced Research and Technology.
  • Usage of his name, image and a famous quote of his caused problems over the years. He sued Hallmark Cards in 1994 after they used his name and his most famous quote in a Christmas tree ornament without permission. The lawsuit was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money, which he donated to Purdue.
  • He is still flying planes at age 75.
If you are like me you have said to yourself at least once in the last 36 years, “What the heck happened to Neil Armstrong since he landed on the moon?”

It Does Not Make Me Feel A Lot Better To Know That Not All of Us Are Nuts


A female juvenile in Texas posted a video of herself grabbing a carton of Blue Bell Tin Roof Ice Cream from a grocery store freezer, licking it and returning it back into the freezer. The video was viewed millions of times and has inspired a rash of copycats in other states.
To see the video click here: Licker Licking Video
Blue Bell said it inspected the store freezer that contained the licked ice cream, found the problematic tub and then removed all Tin Roof half gallons to assure the public that it was safe to buy their ice cream.

Police say the licker faces a charge of Second-Degree Felony Tampering with a Consumer Product, which carries 2 to 20 years behind bars and a possible fine of up to $10,000 (This is Fella: but, because she is a Juvenile, she will probably get a Very Stern Finger Wagged at her during her next Autograph Signing Session).
***************
I see out there that some of my Dear Readers just asked why she is in demand for her autograph. The answer is obvious. She is signing autographs because she is now a Celebrity.

Her being a Celebrity automatically kicks in several other points of You Gotta Be Kidding!...
Ø Because of her Celebrity Status she will not be punished even if she were an adult.
Ø Celebrities only receive anything akin to a severe punishment when they murder a Celebrity who is more popular than they are.
Ø The people who manage the Hollywood Walk of Fame are in high gear to have the Ice Cream Licker enshrined forever in their famous sidewalk.
Ø Normally Celebrities have to be Celebrities for a few weeks before they are honored with a Sidewalk Enshrinement but worshipers have been clamoring for an Expedited Enshrinement in this case because the Licker had a thing of some kind sticking out of her nose when she performed her Historic Licking Lick.
***************
Also did you notice what I noticed?
Ø No it was not that the Licker was stupid enough to publish her stupidity to the Internet. (Maybe she was not stupid because she was smart enough to know that, being a juvenile, she was going to get away with the Licking and become famous.)
Ø No it was not that the video was viewed 11 Million Times (more millions by now).
Ø No it was not that the Stupid Licker could go to jail for 20 Years. (See above about being a juvenile and getting away with the Licking.)
Don’t feel badly. You are not The Noticer. I am. The Big Notice for me was that people all over the Good Ole USofA started doing the same uncaring, unsanitary and stupid thing.
Instead of seeing the video and thinking to their collective selves, “I’m never going to do that!”

They see the Licking and say, “Hey, dude, that’s far out! I can’t wait to get in my licks!”
***************
In the Old Days (where I come from) this was not done!
Maybe I should expand the above sentence to…
In the old days this was not done because we were not that stupid and, even if we were that stupid, the Internet was yet to be invented. The Internet spread this Foolishness across the Good Ole USofA. Without the Internet, the Stupids out in the World Wide Out There would never have become Copycats because they never would have heard about the ignorance of their fellow Americans.
***************
Here is the kind of things that used to happen in the Old Days (where I come from)

4 Minute Mile
Track athletes in the 1950s labored under the belief that no human being could run a mile faster than 4 minutes…
Ø On 6th May 1954, Roger Bannister ran the first sub-4-minute mile (3:59.4) in England.
Ø He held his world record for just six weeks before, John Landy of Australia, broke it by more than a second with a time of 3:57.9.

Mountain Climbing
Ø Someone climbed Mount Everest in record time.
Ø Immediately other climbers started planning how they could get up and down even faster.

The First Wheel Is Invented
Ø Within weeks someone invents the 2nd Wheel.
Ø Shortly after the 2nd Wheel someone invents the 3rd Wheel.
Ø I’ll bet you know what happens next. That’s right! The 4th Wheel comes off the drawing board.

All of this Invention Progress was necessary because, if it had not come to fruition, Henry Ford would have been a laughing stock as he was seen standing in his garage with all the components of the Automobile (engine, transmission, steering wheel, ash trays, 8 Track Player, horn, coon tail, little plastic Jesus Statue, etc. all around him without knowing what he was going to do next.
***************
Fast Forward past the Good Old Days to the Not So Good New Days of Today…

Let’s think again about the fact that all across the Fruited Plain people are imitating the Licking.

Instead of the youth of today trying to Run the 3 Minute Mile or running up and down Mount Everest in Track Shoes or working day and night to invent the World’s First Hover Craft Automobile, they are headed into the Ice Cream Aisles of their local grocery store and licking Ice Cream Cartons and sending their ignorance out to the World so that the World will know how stupid they are.

The saddest part is this is not the end of it. Other Social Media Stupids are now desperately trying to come up with more outlandish stupid things to do so they can send their ignorance out across the World Wide Web.

Would I kid u?
Smartfella

Sad Lagniappes:
Ø Wichita Falls police banned a woman from Walmart after she reportedly ate half a cake and refused to pay for the other half.
Ø Odessa police arrested a 15-year-old boy for spitting in an Arizona Tea bottle and putting it back on the shelf.
Ø Twitter user posted a video of himself this week at what appears to be a CVS with the caption, “I love ice cream.” The video shows him scooping ice cream out of a container with his bare hands before putting the carton back in the freezer and quickly walking away.
>>Hours later, he posted a video showing a police officer speaking to him, followed by another tweet which reads, “Just left the police station. Too much clout to care.”
Ø A Louisiana man was arrested after he was seen in a video licking a container of Blue Bell ice cream and then returning it to the freezer. The 36-year-old shared the video on Facebook, prompting concerned residents to call the police.
Ø A Wal-Mart Shopper was recorded opening up a bottle of Listerine, gargling with it, depositing the used mouthwash back into the container, and then putting it all back on the shelf. Some claim that this was staged because the gargling spitter did not appear to break any safety seal.

There are more but this is enough…More than enough.

Don’t Ever Say Never


Back in the old days where I come from we used to wallow in our old day “ignorance” and say perfectly logical old fashioned things like, “Boys Will Be Boys” and “That Will Never Happen!”

If you are a regular Dear Reader of my Blog, you will recall that I have written about the State of Connecticut’s Financial Trials and Tribulations. Now I am reading in my newspaper that Connecticut can be Silly in other areas of insanity.

Connecticut allows athletes to compete based solely on their Expressed Gender Identity. To put it a different way, Boys Will Be Girls If They Think They Are Girls Or If They Want To Win A Bunch Of Girls Foot Races.
***************
I could now enter into a brilliantly worded presentation about why allowing boys to run against girls is Foolishness but I will let my newspaper’s words reporting what happened in a Connecticut Foot Race cut off all discussion, prove my case and I can then wrap up this Blog Posting and get back to solving the Mid-East Situation.

My Newspaper's Words... “As she and the other young women were two-thirds into the 100-meter race, two male competitors had “already finished and were doing the chest bump—the thing that the boys do when they do well.” (I did the underlining.)

I wonder, if 2 19 year old boys who were born as boys but who have now identified as 10 year old girls had just come in first and second in the 10 year old girls who identify as 10 year old girls foot race, would they still be doing Chest Bumps?

What is that I hear? Did you say, “Yea but…” and then started arguing with me? I can’t believe you are shouting at me! I going to hold my hands over my ears and hold my breath until you stop shouting at me. Why won’t you stop shouting at me? I don’t think you are going to ever stop shouting at me! I’m turning blue!...😰
***************
Where will this stop? As a regular reader of my blog, you already know I can see into the future with surprising accuracy. Here is what I am seeing at this moment.

I can see a bunch of Identifies As Female Used To Be Male Protestors walking up and down in front of a Connecticut Hospital with signs that read, “Unfair! This hospital will not allow us to come in and have our babies!”

I apologize for the above paragraph because we all know That Will Never Happen…Or will it?

Would I kid u?
Smartfella

Lagniappe: Maybe I have been too harsh on Connecticut because there are 18 other States that are as Gender Identity Savvy as it is. Does that make you feel better?
