West African bush tribe
An elderly couple was watching a Discovery Channel special about a
West
African bush tribe whose men all had penises 24 inches long.
When the black male reaches a certain age, a string is tied around his
penis and on the other end is a weight. After a while, the weight stretches
the penis to 24 inches.
Later that evening as the husband was getting out of the shower, his wife
looked at him and said, "How about we try the African string-and-weight
procedure?"
The husband agreed and they tied a string and a weight to his penis.
A few days later, the wife asked the husband, "How is our little tribal
experiment coming along?"
"Well, it looks like we're about half way there," he replied.
"Wow, you mean it's grown to 12 inches?"
"No, it's turned black."
Little Richard - "Tutti Frutti" - from Don't Knock The Rock - HQ 1956
Some people say that Little Richard invented rock 'n' roll, but I don't think that any one person can lay claim to that.
Four for Fridays
Hello everyone and welcome back! All I can say it has been a crazy week.... Weird things have been going on. Anyways, some questions for you...
1) How old were you when you got your first computer?
2) What part of pop culture do wish would just go away?
3) How long do you think you can last in solitary confinement?
4) What MOVIE comes to mind when you think of the '50's?
Enjoy your weekend!

The Last of Fall Pictures!
Yesterday when I was sitting on the couch I looked out our patio doors I was looking at the trees and there was no leaves left. It was funny because the day before it was full of leaves and this happened over night. I just could not believe what happened with the leave over night. So that made me think I better get the last of my Fall pictures from up north posted for everyone. We didn't have much time or real good sun light to get a lot of pictures to share. Here are the pictures-
This is on Cty Hwy DD in Pickeral Wi looking out towards the lake!

This is on Hwy 55 in Lily Wi looking at the tops of the trees and some have no leaves anymore!

"Judge rejects stay on Racine hotel eviction order"
"RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- The attorney for a woman who ran up a $29,000
bill at a hotel in southeastern Wisconsin says a judge has denied his
request to stay an eviction and his client can be kicked out any time
after Thursday morning.
"Jana Ganjian has said she checked into the Racine Marriott in 2004
after her house went into foreclosure. Ganjian has a lupus-like disorder
and receives monthly disability benefits, which she says she used to
make some $89-per-day payments.
"A judge granted the hotel's request for eviction earlier this month.
"Attorney Joseph Seifert said Tuesday that he asked the judge to
stay the order because Ganjian has nowhere to go. Seifert says that
motion was denied, and Ganjian must leave the hotel before Thursday or
risk the sheriff removing her."

Time's up. This is all over the net. Time.com has a story on this as well as news sites and blogs worldwide. Are they going to evict her today or wait awhile in the hope that the publicity will die down?

"I killed a man."
http://becauseisaidiwould.com/
“Matthew Cordle has been
sentenced to 6.5 years in prison with no chance of early release and a lifetime
driver’s license suspension. As Matthew promised, he plead guilty and took
responsibility for the horrible crime that ended Vincent Canzani’s life. Because I said I would recorded and
released Matthew’s confession video with the hope that it would convince others
to put down the keys… Don’t make the excuses Matthew made. Make the promise to
never drink and drive and post it to social media with #SaveYourVictim.
“Since the day
Matthew messaged our Facebook page for the first time on August 9th, I have grown to know him. He calls me
on a regular basis from jail. I can tell you that he is remorseful for what he
has done. That remorse will never bring back Vincent Canzani, but it has driven
him towards a lifelong mission to prevent drinking and driving. While I am digusted
by Matthew’s actions on June 22nd, I am proud of his promise to take
responsibility and his conviction to see that promise through.”

Wow. I don't think I'd have the cojones to do that.
Dear Madame Zoltar
Joy and elation spread throughout Packer land this Sunday
past as Green Bay defeated the
Cleveland Browns. Next up this Sunday
are the Packers’ perennial foes, the Minnesota Vikings. That’s the team that Mr. Brett Favre defected
to. May they never be forgiven! Ravage and decimate the Vikings, o wondrous
Packers!
In the Irregular Football League, Mr. OrbsCorbs’
Orbliterators have been knocked down to second place by Mr. Hale-Bopp’s Half-Astrophysicists. My Screaming Psychics have slipped to third
place. Congratulations Mr.
Hale-Bopp! May the best woman or man
win.
The image at right was submitted to me by a Mr. I. P.
Nightly. Thank you, Mr. Nightly, for
keeping the oldest psychic joke in the universe alive and unwell.
I have a confidential message for Mr. GregR that I channeled
last night. The message is, “Thank you
so much! You’ll never know what a help
you’ve been. I’ll pay it forward when I
have the opportunity.” The source didn’t
identify him/her/itself, but did relay that the recipient would know who it
came from. You know, I make only $2 on
these confidential messages that do not involve my input. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it.
I’ve been following the story out of Greece
about the young, fair haired, blue-eyed girl found with a Roma family. She was taken into protective custody and her
parents were jailed. http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/21/world/europe/greece-mystery-girl/
Unfortunately, this plays right into the stereotype of Gypsies kidnapping
children. We don’t need anymore bad
press. We’ve been getting it for
thousands of years. Set my people free,
Lord!
Ahem. Locally: “More staff cuts for city,” http://journaltimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/more-staff-cuts-for-city/article_adcea1ea-3b0e-11e3-ab8b-001a4bcf887a.html
Mr. Mayor Dickert’s proposed budget cuts much needed staff from different
departments while spending more money on himself and his friends. Oh my!
You should be ashamed of yourself, Mr. Mayor. Where are your morals?
In the spirit of the season, here is “
Thank you so much for reading my blog today. I love visitors from all over the internet

A Spotty Sunset
I don't post all my sunset pics here...if you want to see them you can follow me on twitter or Google+. I will post some of the more interesting ones here and tonight falls into that category.
There are some pretty good sunspots today. By underexposing the Sun quite a bit, you can bring out the sunspots. I got them just as the Sun was setting behind a mountain.
I waited around for the green flash of course.
Tonight I also took a quick shot toward Kitt Peak. Late next week, the Sun will set behind Kitt Peak and I will be trying to get that shot!

"Watertown aims to become first dementia-friendly community"
October 20, 2013 7:30 am • "At 88, Shirley Strysick shows no signs of physical decline, but her memory isn’t as crisp as it once was, and she’s very aware of the change. That’s why she no longer cooks.
“'I could burn this joint down,' she said last week as she gave a tour of her apartment at an assisted living complex in Watertown. 'I forget things.'
"Strysick, a retired nurse, began noticing memory problems about five years ago and has been diagnosed with early-stage dementia. On a hook above her kitchen counter hangs a notebook where visitors log in, a step family members took a few months ago because Strysick sometimes couldn’t recall who had dropped by.
"Strysick may be among the more fortunate of those with memory loss because of where she lives. Watertown, a city of about 24,000 people 45 minutes east of Madison, has embarked on an effort to become a dementia-friendly community, perhaps the first in the country."

"Bertrand Russell's Message to the Future"
From the BBC's "Face-to-Face," 1959.
He thought the world was getting interconnected back then. The internet has put that process into hyper-drive.
