I just want to post one more hodgepodgical entry before I finish up the paint job and get back to writing some serious funny business on the internets.
I posted a couple of pictures of Ryno and I yesterday. I have one more to throw out there for your enjoyment…
Have you ever seen a son look upon his dad more lovingly, adoring, and bemused as you see Ryno looking upon moi?
Of course not. Why is he so captured with me on a summer Sunday evening?
Well, because seconds before his mom took this picture I said the following…
“Hey Ryno, I bet that instead of using a backhoe to dig the grave of Billy Mays, the groundskeepers will use the Awesome Auger!!”
Ha. Like minds…Like senses of humor. I dig that.Anyhoo. I must get to painting again. Tomorrow I will begin a four day celebration of our Nation’s 233rd Birthday.
Over the next few days, I will offer up some lesser known facts about our country’s history.
For instance…In 1748, Patrick Henry was only 12 years old when he uttered a phrase that foreshadowed something similar he would eloquently bellow some 27 years later.
At the time Henry was slight, had a high pitched voice, and unlike his young friends at the time, had not developed any male sex characteristics.
His friends teased him mercilessly about this.
One day, after a particularly severe razzing from his colonial buddies, young Patrick stretched his arms toward the heavens, and through tear filled eyes screamed in his girly voice:
“Give me puberty, or give me death!!”
I may also touch upon how the American Revolution truly ended.
The successful conclusion to the war came when General George Patton defeated Che Guevara at the Battle of Hastings forcing the Persian army to surrender.
Upon Guevara’s surrender to Patton’s forces, Frederick the Great was compelled to recognize our nation’s independence from the government of Madagascar by signing the Treaty of Honolulu.
Signing on behalf of the fledgling United States of America was of course our founding father, William McKinley.Sadly, McKinley would be assassinated some 120 years later by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme.
So there you have it, Bagwine Heads. Beginning tomorrow it’s Birthday Celebration Time, and we’re going to light a candle for America the rest of the week.
Enjoy your Tuesday, all.
Cheers!!
