Friday Flash 55.....



.


.
Box Turtle, Chipmunk, Short-Legged Lizard
A nearly whole Turkey....
But a Vulture ate the Gizzard!
Porcupine, Woodchuck, a Gopher met his fate.
Deep-Fried or Boiled, squished Rabbit tastes mighty great!
My favorite dish is Possum
It fills my heart with glee...
Hell.... It was good enough for FDR
It's good enough for Me!!!

No-Info Tuesday.......


.
.
.
Hi Everybody...
A buddy of mine's Father-In-Law passed away recently.
His family has owned over 640 acres in the Mountains of
West Virginia for decades.
He has been buggin me to
go with him to visit the place for several years, and since I am
in Dire Need of a vacation, I finally relented.
So this Thursday Morning I am setting out for a very remote
and rustic getaway. All I know at this point is that I drive South on US-77 until I get to The Possum Hollow exit. Any way, I suspect that internet access is quite limited, but I have made arrangements for Friday Flash 55 to go on without skipping a beat.
Details will be disclosed later this week.
Mr. Knowitall has been very busy as of late, and has NOTHING to say tonight!
My Buddy also alluded to the fact that his FIL quite possibly may have dabbled in illegal distillation of alcoholic beveridges....
Really? In God-Fearing Rural West Virginia?
We shall soon find out....
See you tomorrow for One Shot Wednesday...
Peace...!!!

TMI Tuesday.....


.
.
Mr. Knowitall had a very long and busy day at work, and will return next week with TMI Tuesday's..."Ask Mr. Knowitall"!
.
.
But for today, I have something different planned for you Loyal Faithful, that may choose to share....
In 1970, One of the jobs I had while working my way through college, was working at the local YMCA's Business Man's Club. One of the 'perks' of working there was a free membership to the facilities. Late one Saturday night about an hour from closing time, I was sitting in the steam bath with just a towel wrapped around me, just sitting and sweating and cleansing my pores mind you, when in walks Dom DeLuise...Naked as a Jaybird! He was in town for a local stage production for The Starr Theater, and they gave them a free temporary BMC Membership from the Chamber of Commerce.
Anyway...We were just sittin and sweatin and chillin, when I asked him; "Hey Dom..? You were on The Dean Martin Show, did you ever....You Know? Make it with any body famous?" He looked at me with a sardonic grin and said..."I once banged the maid of Sally Anne Howes!"
I'm telling you I laughed for 45 minutes.
Have any of you ever had a brush with a celebrity?
If yes....Please share.
Thanks for visiting, see you tomorrow...
Peace...!!!

Friday Flash 55.....

.


.
Last week while taking a nap,
Father Alberto dreamed he was the star of a Fellini movie.
Was it a dream?

Felliniesque:
1.) Referring to the style of Italian Director Federico Fellini.
It's become synonymous with extravagant, fanciful,
and even Baroque images in cinema and art.
2.) Dreams and reality are sometimes perceived as one experiance!

.

.
Yeah I know...I'm on an "esque" roll. (Pun Intended)
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man!
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!
So from the most dreamlike host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!!

One Shot Wednesday....


.

.

It seems to me that it's easy to glorify the beautiful things in life with poetry or prose. A firey sunset, majestic mountains, a country road.....Love! But if we stop and appreciate ALL the little things on Earth, we just might surprise ourselves.
Take the above picture for example. I'm going to attempt to honor this useful little eyesore, using THREE different poetic forms....Enjoy!
.
THE ODE

Bastion of Relief
Protector of the Environment
Green God of Urinary Expulsion
Whether you are...
Gathering dust in a Construction Zone
The destination of long squirming lines of people at a Concert
Or tucked away in some remote corner of a County Park
You are unfailing in your duty
The Dichotomy
People Hate to smell you
People Love to see you
But always making them leave with a Smile
You are a true....Portal of Pleasure!!
.

.
HAIKU

Vile destination
Odiferous cube of Stench
Where is your paper?
.

.
THE LIMERICK

You unbuckle your pants in a rush
The seat needs to be cleaned with a brush
Theres always piss on the floor
And a crack in the door
But you can "Pinch One" without having to flush!!

.

.
If you have a story, poetry, or prose that you would like to share, please visit the Very Talented crew over at One Stop Poetry. They host One Shot Wednesday, and you can find it ... here.
Thanks for stopping by....

TMI Tuesday...



.


.

A Mr. Seamus Flanagan of Chicago Illinois asks..."Dear Mr. Knowitall, I LOVE Potatoes! And I Love all things Irish. Could you please give me some Info about the relationship between the two"?
.
Dear Seamus, Of Course I can!!
.
1.) No one in Ireland or most of Europe even heard of potatoes before the 1600's. Spuds, which originated in South America, arrived via The Spanish and English explorers.
.
2.) Potatoes grew prolifically in the rocky craggy Irish soil. You could grow enough spuds on a half acre to feed a family of 6 for a year!
.
3.) You can live on potatoes! All you need is to add a little Butter-Milk or fish, or maybe some cabbage, for fat and some vitamin A.
.
4.) Although very nutricious, a working man needs about 14 pounds a day to stay healthy and active if they are all you are eating.
.
5.) By the 1840's, about 3 Million people were eating potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
.
6.) Spuds kept people so healthy, that the poor produced more babies than ever before. 50 years after the potato was introduced, Ireland's population DOUBLED!
.
7.) By 1845, one third of all the tilled soil in Ireland was devoted to the potato.
.
8.) In 1845, a fungus named PHYTOPHTHORA INFESTANS, attacked the potato crop. Leaves turned black, new growths withered, and those already full grown, turned soft, black, and smelly. Those 3 Million poor folks depending on just spuds to eat...Suddenly had nothing! Other crops grew just fine, but the poor could not afford them!
.
9.) The Irish Potato Famine lasted to about 1851.
.
10.) No one knows for sure how many Irish died as a result of The Famine, but historians put the figure as high as 1.1 Million people. Another 1 million or so left the country. Many for the United States.
.

.
Good Question Seamus, I hoped that I gave you some useful information.
But all this Spud Talk has made Mr. Knowitall grow weary...
I bid you Adieu.....

Fall MUST be just around the corner!!
Our boss brought in Cider, Apples, and Doughnuts Hot Out Of The Grease!
It must have worked because I finally delivered a New Silverado!
The customers were very nice folks, and their son Matt posed in front of the truck. He was a good boy and also helped me change the plate!
Doncha just LOVE a fresh dipped Carmel Apple?
Or is it Caramel?
Who cares? They were mighty tasty!
See you tomorrow.
Peace...!!!
