That Would Be An F

This fresh in today ::::

It’s real alright – and THAT would be an ‘F’

I am !

Dearest Birdy

I just wanted to celebrate 16 years of life with you in a more public forum !! Click on the ‘play’ button – and sit back, enjoy and RELAX !!

… then again, not really sure how you can ‘relax’ to the dulcet tones of Tommy Bruce.

… but I thought it THE most appropriate song:) … SIXTEEN YEARS AGO TONIGHT – and ever since – were really just the BEST. Thankyou LouLouBird

BTW – Tommy recorded this in 1963 – it talks about 16 years before in 1947 – but 16 years after it was recorded was 1979 – and 16 after that was 1985 – the year we were married – and of course today is 16 years since we met on that very first day.

Now – THAT would be an F !!!

You know – somethings you just can’t make up !!!

Doubtless you are aware of TinyURL – that really cool and useful thingy that has been out there forever – providing us a very useful way to take the extremely long URLs that get created by some sites – and shortening them so that crap products like Outlook can actually present a link to click to – rather than discovering that the wrap has caused the link to break ….

Anyway – it seems the folks at HugeURL have decided that if you want to look really important, you can take a small URL – and make it HUGE – so your site looks important and massive and ….

That Would Be An F !!

It is more than 40 years since Hunter S Thompson published his book; Hell’s Angels.

If you haven’t already … get it – read it.

Observed in a Dive Bar this week …. biker guy – denim jacket – cut off sleeves, no shirt – tatoos up the arms – real hard case. On his back ‘ a big logo : ‘Satan’s Bitch’ … this guy took no prisoners. Nor did his two ‘colleagues’. Still, for all their hardness, they still went outside to smoke their cigarettes.

Kind of got me to thinking :

Hell’s Angels was an “up-close and uncompromising look at the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club, during a time when the gang was highly feared and accused of numerous criminal activities … and here we are now … they don’t even dare have a cigarette in a bar.

That Would Be An F.

… it must be hard …
