You shouldn't talk to strangers , because you'll bore them

You shouldn't talk to strangers , because you'll bore them

That's what my grandpappy always told me

I've often wondered why there are so many wrestlers that are way into Jesus , it doesn't seem like a profession that would lend itself to such . However I heard on ex-wrestler today break down a reason I never would have thought of ;

When it’s to that extent that you’re ripping your flesh apart there’s something wrong – it’s not healthy to purposely destroy yourself like that ; and it’s beyond like “I’m just desperate for attention” or “I want the rush” . And I started asking ; why is this going on ? There has to be a reason I’m willing to do this . And it was guilt that I was struggling with . I sat through a church service on the crucifixion of Christ when I was 16 that was extremely very graphic and extremely guilt laden and the pastor ended the service by saying “There’s not one person in here that would willing take that upon themselves” . The fact that she said that triggered something in me , I can’t tell you what that did to me but I was so obsessed . I was looking for a way to atone for my own sins . You can mix in the adventure and the stuff that’s really fun in the ring but I finally got down the root of it and I was obsessed with notion of taking damage to myself and shedding blood , I couldn’t get that out of my mind . It was something that I got over . The realization I came to is that that was never the message of Christianity – it’s a free gift , you don’t need to pay for your own sins , it was paid for by Christ .

Here's an interesting factoid . In 1932 an exercise was carried out in which Rear Admiral Yarnell commanded the carriers Lexington and Saratoga in an effort to demonstrate that Hawaii was vulnerable to naval air power . The expectation was that Yarnell would attack with battleships , but instead he left his battleships behind and proceeded only with his carriers to the north of Hawaii where it was less likely he would be detected . With a storm as cover , at dawn on Sunday, 7 February, Yarnell’s 152 planes attacked the harbor from the northeast , just as the Japanese navy would ten years later . The army airfields were first put out of commission after which Battleship Row was attacked , with multiple hits on Navy ships . No defending aircraft were able to launch . The Navy’s war-game umpires declared the attack a total success , prompting Yarnell to strenuously warn of the Japanese threat .

The New York Times reported on the exercise , noting the defenders were unable to find the attacking fleet even after 24 hours had passed . US intelligence knew Japanese writers had reported on the exercise . After the exercise a reassessment of naval tactics was voted down .

A lot of historians like to debate if Pearl Harbor was really a surprise - sounds like it shouldn't have been regardless .

A while ago they started airing advertisements with anthropomorphic pop tarts being murdered in various ways . I've always found them mildly disturbing but just the other day I noticed in the one where the Pop Tart People jump into a bowl of Jolly Ranchers and then the Lizard-Man is holding up the remains of one of them that he's eating there's still a little pop tart man leg on it - AND IT'S STILL MOVING !!! It haunts my dream . That pop tart man is still alive while being consumed .



There's an article about a lady on HuffPost who hates these commercials and is trying to stop them . But on the other hand Pop Tart sales have gone up 40 years straight so , you know .

Today at Thanksgiving my niece was begging for some expensive thing for her phone so I says to her I says ;

See , back in my day , entertainment was cheap ! You just walk yerself down to the newsstand or drugstore and pick yourself up a comic-book for one thin dime - or if you're cheap , you could just stand there and read it for free , but Old Man Carruthers - he was the guy ran the drug store - he'd prob'ly shout at you about how it weren't no lending<b> library . </font></b>Course we'd say we knew that already , coz our local<b> library </font></b>didn't carry no comic-books , heck they didn't even get magazines until thirty-six , and that were just a subscription to Juggs . Anyway our<b> library </font></b>would never of carried the comic-books I liked, like 'CRIME SQUAD' and 'True Tales of Murder Justice' what with the blood and violence in 'em . Worse things in them comics than you get on television these days , let me tell you . Loved 'em .

What was I talking about ? Oh yeah , money . See entertainment used ta be cheap , but not anymore it ain't ! money , money , money , that's all that anything is about these days and everything costs ten times more than it's got any right to . You may think shows is free, but nossir ! Not to them folks what run the thing and make the numbers go up and write the jokes and what not . Don't care for them jokes myself , don't see the need for all these pop-cultural references and whattayacallems 'post-modernisms' and 'metahumors' all talking directly to the audience , why back in my day we were perfectly satisfied with a good knock-knock joke , but no , everything these days has to be modern and whatnot .

Seems a shame to me , you just don't get good jokes like we saw Fatty Barnes tell in the vaudeville hall back when I was young . You don't get the dollar ride for a nickle , that's what my pappy told me , and what his pappy told him . My great grandpappy was a goat and couldn't talk , so that's as far back as that goes , but you can bet yer britches that he would have , if he could've talked or had a brain that could process complicated thoughts like that .

But of course she had walked anyway by that point .

I got all my Christmas shopping done . So as a little reward for myself I'm going to get one of those nice clean hookers down at the Hilton Garden tomorrow .

You don't get a dollar ride for a nickel is something Lois says down at the Hilton Garden as well

I wonder if the ladies at the Hilton Garden have a Black Friday sale?

Naw, business is probably fantastic without offering discounts - alla those husbands sneaking off while their wives are at Walmart bashing other people over the head to get the last TV set.
