BUTTROYS

So.....I was wondering what would happen when I googled buttroys.. Mostly posts from me...but then I googled buttroys and clicked on images...these are the blogs that are linked to Buttroys images.:menopaulsalstoners, daisydeadair, the poodleanddogblog, thefuturewasyesterday, werenotthatstupid, sixwordblog and utahsavage. So you and buttroys are forever linked...just saying..The best part was toward the end there was a picture of T.O. and it gave a quote from Ted's blog about him being a Buttroy. Now THAT is funny.

POST #1580

This is one of those 'a little bit of every thing posts'...First up

Sidewalks...I found this in my DAM News yesterday.."People walk in hotter places and in colder places (than Dallas). There are more walkable streets in four cities in Canada than the entire United States. "It's not the climate; it's the (city's) physical design." Architect Andres Duany, founder of the New Urbanism movement, telling a Dallas audience to quit blaming the climate for the city's lack of walkability...

That and the fact that we're fucking lazy...I live in a town that end to end can't be more than 4 miles if that..I'll have to drive it one day and see for sure. But the only ones that walk to town are the ones that just don't have a car..I could walk to town..I could walk to the library..Hell I can damn near hit the library with a rock from my apartment. Do I walk? Hell no..But I think about it all the time..ha..sigh*

Something else from my DAM News..."I think it's significant because Iowa is considered a Midwest state in the mainstream of American thought..As they say during the presidential caucuses, 'As Iowa goes, so goes the nation.'...Richard Socarides, former White House gay rights adviser, on the broader meaning of the Iowa Supreme Court overturning the state's ban on same-sex marriage. First of all...I agree...now the rest of us Buttroy States need to follow through, and do the same. Second of all..when was Richard Socarides the White House gay rights adviser? Certainly not during the Bush administration....Did Bush even say the word Gay during his entire 8 years in office?...Buttroy.

Sunday DAM News had a lot of interesting stuff..They had a great article on Left Handed people..Pretty interesting..Some notable people that are left handed are Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, Jimi Hendrix, Babe Ruth and the Olsen Twins. Five of the last seven presidents have been left-handed: Ford, Reagan, Bush the elder, Clinton and now Obama. Carter and Bush the Buttroy are not..So what does this mean? No one knows, could be a fluke it could be that left handed people are smarter..New research shows that left-handers tend to be more intelligent, and have better vocabularies(that definitely leaves Buttory Bush out) Lefy's are better problem-solvers, more forgetful and live an average of nine fewer years..Wow.

Even the animal world have lefties. Chimps, marmosets, cats, chickens, toads(now how the fuck did they figure THAT out), mice, rats and other species. It is also present in animals that don't have hands (fish) and in some that don't have backbones(honeybees). In biology, this phenomenon is known as "lateralization." It is the preference for doing or perceiving thins more with one side of the body than the other. It appears to be an important consequence of having a brain. (thus explaining why Bush is right handed).

About 27 percent of sons of left-handed parents are left-handed, compared to 10 percent of sons of right-handed parents.However, about 20 percent of identical twins have different handedness. So...genes count for something but not everything. The word 'left' comes from Anglo-Saxon word lyft, meaning weak, broken. The word 'sinister' means left in Latin.

People also use one foot, eye, ear more than the other. One of my beast is bigger than the other..The right one is bigger. Think it's from being right handed and built up the right breast more.???? But..I bat left -handed, golf(if I did golf) left-handed, but fish and play tennis with right hand. Lefties have a competitive advantage in one-on-one sports such as baseball, tennis and fencing. Right-handers are not used to playing against someone who favors the left side. This is the piece of information that I really find interesting. The more violent a culture, the greater chance left-handed inhabitants have of surviving. Left-handed combatants are familiar with fighting right-handers, but right-handers are much less familiar with battling a lefty. Remember that when you want to punch some one.

(article written by David Brown The Washington Post, with ad libs by moi)..

Ok..for the home town news...I should NOT have bragged on the 80 degree weather and all the sun shine.It's in the 50's now during the day and down to the 30's at night. It's still sunny out but it's windy...Which makes it seem like it's a lot colder. Plus it will be fecking freezing tonight and in the morning..so now I have to drag all my pots of veggies in the house..judas priest.

Its spring time dammit..But at least it won't be snowing like it did 2 years ago. First time in my life to see bluebonnets with snow on them. That was plum freaky.

Jennifer and Jason came over for lunch yesterday. Was going to make home made chicken pot pies, but Community Grocery had smoked turkeys (regular $1.79lb) on sale for .59cents a pound. So I bought one and baked in the oven and made chicken soup, baked potatoes and the turkey..Garlic bread and Spinach Dip. It was really great..Her dippy mother didn't give her all of the birthday present I had for her..I swear Kathy's not to be trusted with anything..She either loses it or leaves it in the car and 3 months later will find it(there is a family from India living in the back seat of her car).I'm going to go to her house next Friday and help her do some re potting ...and help her with her plants. Plus I want to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and see their knobs for my dresser in the bathroom..

Annie got up in my lap last night while I was reading emails(she never does that) and I petted her and loved on her one handed ) and how does she thank me for all my love and attention?..She deposited a giant tootsie roll size turd in my lap.Tell me that's not intentional... Plus this a.m. while reading the DAM News I heard this thunk, thump noise...Got up and she had tipped the garbage can over and was attacking the turkey carcase. When I went to take it from her she made a 'aaaath' noise at me.. She just stiff legged walked by me to go outside.

My friend Michael (Snake, from the Heart of Texas Snake Handlers) (Inky's brother) came over too..Nice visit with him...I've known him longer than anyone in West. His birthday is Nov. 1st and mine is the 12th and we used to go get drunk and celebrate our birthday's together. Some of those stories can't be told till the statue of limitations run out on the crimes..Like the number 6 we kept stealing from the ...well, never mind.

I have to go get gas in the truck today..The last time I put gas in the truck was 1-22..I had less than a 1/2 tank of gas..put $20 in and it almost filled it up ....and I have been running around town for a week on a empty tank ...I fucking love my truck.

Well...I'm off..I'm officially in mourning...ER. is gone...and because JayfuckingLeno is taking over the 9pm slot M-F they are going to cancel Life. I love that show...well, I love Damian Lewis...who has the greatest mouth in male history. He was in Band of Brothers also. Plus..motherfucker..they are canceling Guiding Life. Well, they didn't have to kill it..it committed suicide...But it's the longest running show in TV history. It started out as a 15 minute show on Radio...and now, because the soap industry hasn't moved with the flow and realized that this is the day of twitter and 30 second shots of information, and are still taking 6 months to close up a story line...they are going to be shut down. Serves them fucking right..and I hope they kill Reva Shane Lewis off at the end of the show. Sigh..Yeah, I know no one cares about soaps...my point exactly.
I had some killer pictures to go with this post, but blogger is being a Buttroy.

fuckme I'll never smile again.

IGGY INTERVIEWED ME

I was over at Intenseguys blog and he was interviewed by a fellow blogger...she asked him some great questions and he gave some terrific answers. He said if anyone wanted to be interviewed by him to leave a 'interview me' in the comment section of his post. So I did..these are the questions that he has for me..and I must say...they could be tricky. Not for you old timers as you know everything about me including my Tabu farting abilities, addiction to Blue Bell Ice Cream and my love of Dublin Dr Pepper. I wasn't going to play the game as I'm not sure anyone wants to play. But if you do..leave a comment on this post and I'll come up with some questions for you. You can also head on over to Intenseguys blog and see his answers to the questions..They were very interesting. ok..here goes.

If someone invented a "go-back time machine" which places you in your body that you had, in a situation you were once in, for only 5 minutes, knowing what you know now, what thing(s) would you go back and change?

This is pretty easy for me..I'd probably take the little machine back to four different times..To the first time I took a drink...I wouldn't take it..I'd say no thanks, I'll have a sodie pop. The same with that little bennie...No thanks, I'll have another cup of coffee and some NoDoz..If I hadn't taken that little pill it wouldn't have spiraled into the LSD I took and wouldn't have married asshole number 2. No one should marry a guy you have only met 3 times in 2 weeks after dropping acid. And that day back in July of 1974, when Jack got out of the car all crazy, I wouldn't have gotten out of the car. I would have kept the kids in the car, and just drove off. Drove to my Daddy's in Texas, and had him hide me with my relatives until Jack o.d'd someplace or someone else shot him..Being sober and off drugs would have changed my life and my kids..I probably would never have married Jack, or even met him if I didn't drink, and wouldn't have Maryjo, so that is the only kicker on that trip back in time.Because I can't imagine my life without the MOJO.

What would you do if you were were to spend a week as President Obama? I'd bip the Senate and the House into coma's and make them pass a health care bill, make gay marriages legal, make all major business's that moved their plans to China to bring them back, default on all the money we owe all the countries. Tell them fuck off, you want it, come and get it. Then I would cut off all the countries that we give money to. That would pay for the health care. I would make all people on welfare take drug tests, and if they flunk they don't get any money. Roe vs Wade would never be reversed, but they would have to give sex education in schools and pass out condoms and needles to people on the streets that are on drugs.I'd make marijuana legal and set up programs with farmers to grow hemp and marijuana. I am sure there are other things I'd do but it would probably take more than a week.

How did you end up in Texas? are you a native? I started out here ..My Daddy and his folks are from Mesquite and Forney, Texas. Daddy was in the Air Force and he always tried to stay in Texas so he could be close to them. He was a great son and an even better father. I lived in Texas most of my life when I was a kid, except for some trips to Oklahoma, Hawaii, and Arizona. When I grew up I moved to Calif. to marry Asshole #1, then he joined the Air Force and we lived in Mississippi, New Mexico, Washington and Oregon. I moved back to New Mexico where my Daddy was after Asshole #2 and met Jack. After Jack I moved to Calif to be with Chuck, then back to Texas then back to Calif then back to Texas where I said fuckit...I can't quit this place. If I could live any place in the world, I'd live in West, by Goddess, Texas.

What book or books do you think every child in the USA or the world should read? I am such a believer in kids reading..I think it doesn't matter what they read as long as they read. When I was a kid I started reading when I was about 4...by the time I was 9 I was reading H.Allen Smith, Robert Ruruck(spelling), Ayn Rand, William Farley, all the children's classics, every book on South Africa, Egypt, Greece and England. I loved history and reading about people in different countries ..I read about Cleopatra, Henry VIII, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, etc.

American history ? I loved Indians..my favorite was Chief Crazy Horse. So kids just need to read. Jerk their little asses off that computer and video game and hand them a book. If they say they don't like to read, keep giving them a book till they find one that speaks to them. Reading is good.

You talk about inventing your own religion and being a goddess - what would be your number 1 rule for humans to live by? If I was a Goddess, and had the power to make human beings follow one rule it would be..........Love Thy Neighbor and be tolerant. There is too much anger and hate ...Muslims against Jews, Christians against Muslims. Whites against Black, Black against Koreans, everyone against someone. Sad..we are eathlings...people of the planet earth..supposed to be put here by a loving and kind God. Yet all we do is kill in his name. Come on everybody, love your neighbor.

So...that's the questions and those are my answers. Anyone wants to play the game..email me and I'll send you the questions and you do a post of them.
