God’s Wisdom
(Apologies to Ogden Nash)
God in His wisdom let people die
God in His wisdom made them all fry
The People, they cried
Why Dear God Why?
God in His wisdom
All part of my Plan
Don’t ask me again
I am that I am
God in His wisdom
Boo Hoo and Boo Hoo
The People they cried,
Dear God, Oh Dear God,
Even We True?
God in His wisdom, Yes
Even you
God in His wisdom made sure we all knew
That God with His wisdom,
Is an Asshole
Tried and True Blue
And Jesus wept
Boo… Hoo!

Likes and Loves and Laughing Faces
Thumbs up Thumbs up
We’re off to the races!
A cheap thrill sensation
Brings joy and elation
With so much emoji
We’ll never be lonely
But cheap thrills ain’t lasting
Only forecasting
A sugary crash
Just a quick flash
It’s comments we want
No matter the font
Comments are golden
They fling the door open
Provide inspiration
Never inflation
True comments auspicious
And very propitious
Writers need feedback
Not smiley Prozac
If compelled to emoji
Don’t do that only
Take some small time
Drop a thin dime
Comment away

Donald Trump (Ahem)
The Greatest Reality Show On Earth
I just might vote TRUMP.
Why not?
(And what’s wrong with Big Hair anyhow?! Even I, your humble servant, used to have Big Hair–Then I learned to read.)
I mean, honestly, The Prez really don’t have power anymore, c’mon People!
Sampson hair notwithstanding. Don’t believe me? Ask Obama. Or…
Take a look at the Nineteen-Nineties. Clinton, try as he might, had no way to stifle the dot.com prosperity, precarious precipice that it was. (Not that he would have wanted to, but…hey! Outta his control)
Wally-World, et al, took that bull (my pun) by the horns and killed the messenger. (Oh! And the simple fact that the 1920’s had no intrinsic value, historically squeaking, that is.) And the other simple fact that all good deeds go punish’d. And the other simple fact that America, MY America always… well, never mind.
‘Nother case in point: LBJ.
He dreamed of the ‘Great Society’ almost made it, save for that little problem in Southeast Asia. (He coulda been a contender, instead of a bum)
(Brando Warning Here!)
Nuff said: We have now come to the era of “Not-So-Great-Presidents.”
They mean nothing, vis-à-vis, The World Order.
They have been reduced to fodder.
Fodder for CNN, Fox, SNL, and The ‘Honey Grove Senile Citizen’ (my hometown rag)
So…
Why not Trump? I mean, with no mean meaning, why not? He will entertain. He will give CNN, Fox, et al, something to pontificate over (“Never end a sentence with a preposition Lance”—sorry—my bad)
I love The Donald: he has made an uninteresting (for news junkies) year…
Funny.
And I do love funny.
Merry Christmas and see you at the voting booth (I will be that embarrassing uncle in the back with a scotch in his hand and a Marlboro in his lips—pontificating about ‘LBJ’, The Great Society, and wearing the Nixon-Now-More-Than-Ever…T-Shirt.
And saying, ad nausea: “I told you so…”
Shamelessly, I just finished re-reading “Grapes of Wrath” or… in other words: I am with Bernie Sanders on this Deal Folks.
And never forget this:
Or this, regarding ‘Third-Party-Politics” (for those of you astute in The American Political Prophesy):
And, Yes, Virginia: Trump is a “Ring-Tail-Tooter.”

Y’all Wanna Know The Worst Tactile Sensation Ever?
Of course you do.
It is when you go to flush the toilet and that handle snarls back at you, rather limp-wrist’d, as if to say,
“Not tonight Asshole. Go back to sleep.”
(Now, in some truth, I could probably improve this post. For example: I should not have referenced ‘limp wrists”. In truth, y’all know how it is when you go to flush that toilet and there just ain’t no resistance. “Limp Wrists’ was just about all I could manage at the time of publishing…. (Isn’t that funny? Like I am a fucking news paper?) Dead-lines!
Some one shoot me!
(Make it quake! Head Shot! Right thru the mouth–or better…the mouse.)
God and some foll’ers will thank you.
Foretelling ‘Foreboding’ (See? I tend to edit as as I go… My father once tole me, “Lance! Enuff! Enough! It takes an editor to be smart; that is why we make more monies.”) some deep sea-toilet trolling (trolling?) diving to fix.
Yeah…
Really?
Don’t think so.
Maybe tomorrow…
(There are three (other) toilets in this ‘Mouse-House’)
“So, fuck off.”
(My toilet did not reply)
Yes, I talk to my toilet… don’t we all?
“Take your hand off that mouse Mister! Don’t make me come over there.”
“Yessir! Please don’t shoot me; I’m just the piano-player.”
“Sounds like bullshit to me. What do you think, Jim?”
“Yeah. Bullshit. Shoot him.”
“OK.”
Bang! Bang!
“He gone.”
(Sorry, Si Robertson; some of this … this is probably out-of-context)
Then again…
Maybe not.
We will not even begin to speak about your brother.
Damnit! I miss Christopher Hitchens!
Even more embarrassing:
You know the toilet is broke dick dog.
Yet…
You still try to ‘visit.’
And it takes three tries to get into the door.
(Yet, it is a really small door–just sayin’– and not so easily navigated, drunk nor sober)
Only to be so disappointed (yet again) over the the whole toilet experience.
OK.
Fine!
Resist?
Naw!
Below, please discover Lenny’s take on toilet-training.
(and of course: entertaining, or reasonable facsimile)

I killed my FB account. (This is a habit with me)
Yep
For reasons I’d rather not disclose, but numero one’oh is detailed below:
Anyway, I grew weary of reading about how much Jesus loves me, how I need to say ‘amen’ if I agree all the time. (They never tell ya what exactly to say when you do NOT agree), et cetera, et al. So… I just say what I feel, which generally gets me into trouble.
So.. I said some evil things.
Have since apologized.
Been offered a promise of a promise back in Iraq (rhymes, don’t it?)

The People Who Died On Nine – Eleven
Were NOT Heros!
THEY were VICTIMS!
That is ALL THEY Were!
Victims.
Now!
Let us revenge avenge them!
Ed. Note: Of course the first responders Were, nay ARE Heroes and shall always remain such. And as Mark pointed out so were those civilians inside the towers who gave their lives trying to help their fellows escape. When I refer to ‘victims’ I am referring to the ninety percent who were just doing what we all do everyday: We get up, go to work, come home, kiss the significant other, pet the dog or the cat or the goldfish, and then next day, rinse and repeat. They were just innocent victims.
And I have been to war, and revenge is lame and not really strategic.
Nor magic.
It is just… death.

I am done here.

Slavery Allowed:
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Pap, Huk, Peanut, Delirium tremens, and Lance
I post a lot of shit. I post a lot of off the wall shit. If you have read my ‘By Way of Introduction’ page you will know this. But, OK, most of you have not (read that). Therefore, I will be brief here (“More matter and less art,” Yeah yeah yeah…) More matter below:
And here is some ref: Peanut, stuff, more stuff, and even more stuff.
I stole this from Sam Clemens. I hope you like it a lot. (I do)
I don’t know how long I was asleep, but all of a sudden there was an awful scream and I was up. There was pap looking wild, and skipping around every which way and yelling about snakes. He said they was crawling up his legs; and then he would give a jump and scream, and say one had bit him on the cheek–but I couldn’t see no snakes. He started and run round and round the cabin, hollering “Take him off! take him off! he’s biting me on the neck!” I never see a man look so wild in the eyes. Pretty soon he was all fagged out, and fell down panting; then he rolled over and over wonderful fast, kicking things every which way, and striking and grabbing at the air with his hands, and screaming and saying there was devils a-hold of him. He wore out by and by, and laid still a while, moaning. Then he laid stiller, and didn’t make a sound. I could hear the owls and the wolves away off in the woods, and it seemed terrible still. He was laying over by the corner. By and by he raised up part way and listened, with his head to one side. He says, very low:
“Tramp–tramp–tramp; that’s the dead; tramp–tramp–tramp; they’re coming after me; but I won’t go. Oh, they’re here! don’t touch me –don’t! hands off–they’re cold; let go. Oh, let a poor devil alone!”
Then he went down on all fours and crawled off, begging them to let him alone, and he rolled himself up in his blanket and wallowed in under the old pine table, still a-begging; and then he went to crying. I could hear him through the blanket.
By and by he rolled out and jumped up on his feet looking wild, and he see me and went for me. He chased me round and round the place with a clasp-knife, calling me the Angel of Death, and saying he would kill me, and then I couldn’t come for him no more. I begged, and told him I was only Huck; but he laughed SUCH a screechy laugh, and roared and cussed, and kept on chasing me up. Once when I turned short and dodged under his arm he made a grab and got me by the jacket between my shoulders, and I thought I was gone; but I slid out of the jacket quick as lightning, and saved myself. Pretty soon he was all tired out, and dropped down with his back against the door, and said he would rest a minute and then kill me. He put his knife under him, and said he would sleep and get strong, and then he would see who was who.
So he dozed off pretty soon. By and by I got the old split-bottom chair and clumb up as easy as I could, not to make any noise, and got down the gun. I slipped the ramrod down it to make sure it was loaded, then I laid it across the turnip barrel, pointing towards pap, and set down behind it to wait for him to stir. And how slow and still the time did drag along.
Shoot at me you son of a bitch!

Today
Today (Sunday)
Is all about you (Y’all)
I generally spend a lot of time reading (and commenting) on the posts of my friends.
I have been remiss of late in this.
I would apologize, but one of my favorite blogger-friends advised me that if I ‘apologize’ I may seem less than a man.
Therefore, I will not apologize. (not that I value advice from a twenty-three-year-old pundit, but that I am forced, now, to reevaluate… some things…) I will just remark that tomorrow (now today) I will visit all y’all’s sites and try to contribute…
Thanks,
Lancer
And of course, I have a ‘plug’.
And of course, don’t ever be a….
I just love it!
I love it when I get four ‘likes’ in four seconds, for four posts, all from the same person, which are each… at least.. posts of at least one thousand words long. (brevity ain’t my soul of wit)
I love this.
I wish. I wish… I wish… I wish I could read that fast.
Maybe that is why I failed in College? (I ‘mouthed’ my words… not really, but… )
Peace Y’all.

Hamas, Gaza, IDF, Israel, Intifada, and U.S. (us) And why we should care (?)
Some of you may know of my history in the Mideast. Most of you may not. Some of you may know I get emotional about issues.
Some of you may not.
Some of you may give a shit.
Some of you may not.
No matter: I don’t have a dog in this fight: The current Fight between Hamas and the IDF (Israel)… Actually, I did, once upon a time, have a dog. He died. But that was many moons ago.
And we did/didn’t call in the dogs back then: the ‘Fight Between the PLO and Israel’… “Let ’em duke it out!”
–Ronald Reagan, “et them all, et tu, Brutus?”
And about who could wrap some arms about Yasser Arafat? No one. Not even Ronnie. Then he (Arafat) became ‘Rocky Balboa’ to some of rest of the world. Yes! Fast forward… but who among the thinking of us and the remembering of us, can ever forget
Munich in ’72?
And I was on the ‘good’ side.
I was for the ‘Home’ Team: Israel! Nineteen Sixty Seven! The shining moment of the IDF! Just like the Lord: ‘Fought for Six Days and Rested on the Seventh.”
“Didn’t them Jews kick the ever-lovin’ shit outta them A-Rabs?! Fought for Six Days…”
Biblical! (Yay God! and Madison Ave…)
Then I learned to read (and listen)
Point is:
I, as most of us (I hope) want the killing to STOP. It hit ‘Home’ today when I went to buy a beer. There were Palestinians in the road… In Memphis America! They were not happy. Unhappy Palestinians. Goddamn Right! They were unhappy! In Memphis!
I do not blame them. I am not happy either, but that said, Israel has some right to defend… don’t they? If you would like to argue, I welcome that, as I, more than some of you out there, have lived on both sides of that pond. And on both sides of that issue.
I have driven through Gaza. Too many times. I have seen the refugee camps. The poverty.
And I had intimate sex (is there any other kind?) with an Israeli Sabra, of Yemenite ‘distraction’ (i.e., she was Arab: Arab Jew) More than twice… Yet that sex did not prejudice me… (Well, maybe it did… just a little)
Putting sex aside, I know some politic, especially when it comes to Israel and Islam.
I have been on both sides.
Call me out, yet consider that I am foremost and always just a simple Texan.
So, be nice (or not)
Peace

Facing the Horns of One.
I really want to quit posting for today and I really want to visit all my friend’s blogs and I really want to make some really witty and cool statements so that they will really love me…and yet… I cannot shut the fuck up.
Really.
Why?
Because I am really, well really…
Because I am really really vain.
Really strange
My friends may forgive me.
Those new here, will not.
(Not really)
But I always tell me, I say, “Hey! Me! You can make new friends out there!”
I say, “But I love the friends I have already made.”
“Fuck ’em! The other me says.”
I grow some balls and kick my ‘other me to the curb.”
Why? Because a friend lost, hurts me.
Honestly
(You thought I was gonna say ‘really’ didn’t ya?)
Especially, if it comes from my vanity and my stupid forgetful lazy neglect. That hurts the worst.
Deeply.
Because, that one… should be preventable.
Therefore I leave you with this

And NO Offense to any of my gay friends out there: it is just an expression. (I think–if it offends–let me know)

This video below is significant to many of my friends who have suffered domestic violence. In the dark recesses of my feeble fucking mind, I knew this, yet I put the video in anyway.

That is no excuse. I need some sensitivity training. I am going to leave the video in this post, but now for different reasons: People Need To Wake Up To The Fact that here in this country and all over the world, there are women being abused.
Right NOW. Something has to be done. To quote Christopher Hitchens:
“The quickest way to end poverty is to empower women. Empower woman. Give them control of their reproductive bodies. Give them education. Let them have jobs.”
That is a paraphrase. But you can Google it, or I will do it for you. Next time I edit this stupid, thoughtless, insensitive post.

Yup.

There is no real point to this post.
Save this:

Even if just to say, “Hey! This sucks!” or “Hey! This rocks!” or “Hey! Don’t quit your day job!”

Energy Crisis Revisit, Or if You Will: “Gas Lines Redux From the Seventies”
Took the LaBomba (at the behest of my Brit Better Half) today to the Kroger’s Gas Station to fuel her up, and as usual, I was in a hurry.
Texans have become far too urbanized in my humble opinion. But I have spent so much time overseas in places where impatience is a virtue (France comes immediately to mind), that I have lost that “Lovin’ Feelin’”
This was a rather long queue.
I sallied up behind two vehicles, replete with two consumers of fossil fuel.
Thought I:
“This may take just five minutes.”
Au contraire!
The first finished in a timely fashion.
The second…
Well,
He was fueling a Prius. (Is that a car? A real car? Bullshit!)
Said consumer proceeded to ‘fuel’ his little gay car. (Certainly the tank held no more than twelve gallons). This took five minutes.
Then. Then! He proceeded to spend twelve or fourteen minutes, oh so carefully, draining yet another half cup of petrol into the gas tank.
So, I am thinking: “This ain’t ‘The Last Chance Texaco’, Asshole.”

Here Comes a Rant: Stand By For Heavy Rolls As The Ship Comes About
(Yup. I changed the Title. It’s My Blog After All, Ain’t It?)
The Eighties SUCKED Music-Wise
(And Other-Wise)
Wow! What a Bold Statement!
“Yes, and I stand by it.”
Now… Y’all, fess up! The Eighties were devoid of decent music, save a few, (Damn few) exceptions.
Hey! We are talking ‘bout the decade of want here! The Decade of “We want shoes! Therefore we am!” Ya know what? Fuck The Eighties! I was still a young man during them yet, even I, even I… scratched my head and pondered The End of Western Civilization.
(But Damn! How I did love Madonna!)
I served my country during The Eighties.
I loved Reagan during The Eighties.
I grew prematurely old during the Eighties.
What the hell was there not to love?
About The Eighties?
Well…
For Starters,
The Eighties were not The Sixties, nor The Seventies.
The Eighties Had NO Moral Compass.
The Eighties had NO WAR to protest.
The Eighties had Nothing, save for ‘Michael Jackson’ and ‘Rambo’ and such jokes make not a decade to be proud of.
OK: Bet Yer Boots
There is more to come.
And Comments along the way: Encouraged
This Post Will Be Heavily slightly Not Edited, but you will see all the edits (of which there will be none), as per my wont, and my promise in a previous post. (Yeah: work in progress…)
Stay Tuned
Y’all
(Then again, I may probably won’t just delete this and move on)
So read fast; leisurely if you’re of a mind to…
And, if you have come this far:
I actually want really desire this to be a ‘community post’. Now, what I mean by that is this: Throw in your comments/musings/rants/raves/loves/hates about The Eighties. I will mesh them into the post. (with credits to authors) This could be fun (if we allow it)
(And if y’all believe that shit, I have a bridge for sale–just kidding–I swear! I will fold any comments into the post)
Come on now! You know you have an opinion!
Cheers and Beers!

Facing the Horns of One.
I really want to quit posting for today and I really want to visit all my friend’s blogs and I really want to make some really witty and cool statements so that they will really love me…and yet… I cannot shut the fuck up.
Really.
Why?
Because I am really, well really…
Because I am really really vain.
Really strange
My friends may forgive me.
Those new here, will not.
(Not really)
But I always tell me, I say, “Hey! Me! You can make new friends out there!”
I say, “But I love the friends I have already made.”
“Fuck ’em! The other me says.”
I grow some balls and kick my ‘other me to the curb.”
Why? Because a friend lost, hurts me.
Honestly
(You thought I was gonna say ‘really’ didn’t ya?)
Especially, if it comes from my vanity and my stupid forgetful lazy neglect. That hurts the worst.
Deeply.
Because, that one… should be preventable.
Therefore I leave you with this
(Yes. I did have a point)
How many out there feel or felt upon one time, that you were just a “Doll Part?”
(Yeah, that sounds gay)
And NO Offense to any of my gay friends out there: it is just an expression. (I think–if it offends–let me know)
(Really–now you just knew–I had to slip that last one in, under some covers)
Then…
Get over it.
Answer the question and move on.
*End of Rant*
Below is a visual aid:
Ed. Note: Lance is one stupid son of a bitch.
This video below is significant to many of my friends who have suffered domestic violence. In the dark recesses of my feeble fucking mind, I knew this, yet I put the video in anyway.
Why? Because I love Love (Courtney)
That is no excuse. I need some sensitivity training. I am going to leave the video in this post, but now for different reasons: People Need To Wake Up To The Fact that here in this country and all over the world, there are women being abused.
Right NOW. Something has to be done. To quote Christopher Hitchens:
“The quickest way to end poverty is to empower women. Empower woman. Give them control of their reproductive bodies. Give them education. Let them have jobs.”
That is a paraphrase. But you can Google it, or I will do it for you. Next time I edit this stupid, thoughtless, insensitive post.
New Ed. Note: As promised hours ago…
And here we go with….Lenny!
And Yes! I am going to continue to post shit that is on my mind. Ad nausea!
Because this is my blog.
I mean no offense, but if you ever get offended here, well, I did warn you. (didn’t I?)
Okay, maybe I did not, but I am goddamn certain from day one, I never promised a floral garden.
Now did I?
(Sometimes, often, I out-type my brain–sorry)
Moving on…I guess this is a rant. (searching for a way to categorize this post)
Don’t worry: I will make up a new one if I havta. (and you real bloggers out there know what the fuck I am talking about. Doncha?)
And Fuck Yeah!
I think Courtney Love is fucking brilliant.
Wanna sue me?
(Gotcha!)
And Hell Yeah! “I wanna be the girl with the most cake!”
Don’t we all?
I mean,
Really?
*End*
A Sincere Apology
To Anyone Who Was Offended By My Recent Post(s)
I am sorry. Truly.
“We are exorcising ‘Drama’ from this Blog” (and I took the offensive post out back and shot it right between the eyes and now I am gonna quit banging on about it and move on.)
Now that is a noble sentiment, but one which will probably not be realized.
Therefore I implore you to take some things with a golf-ball-size grain of salt. Nothing should be taken personal, yet saying this, I do take everything personal. That is MY wont; does not have to be yours.
So now, I apologize in advance for any future hurtful shit I may spew: it is not directed at you. (Unless, of course you are from Oklahoma. Just Kidding! My Okie Brethren!)
Now I am gonna play some computer golf as I watch “The Players Tournament”

Hey Joe!
Hey Joe!
Where ya goin’ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe!
Is it just me, but have we swerved into a New McCarthyism?
OK, let’s take a look:
- Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is an idiot, and for all intents and purposes, a racist. I am pretty sure we can all agree on that.
- Adam Silver detailed Sterling’s punishment of a lifetime ban and $2.5 million fine — the “maximum amount” allowed per league guidelines
- I say ‘Bravo’! But we are talking about a man worth probably TWO BILLION. Does he care? Not one whit, in my humble opinion. He can afford to be a racist in America today.
- What about the careers ruined in the Nineteen Fifties by McCarthy, Nixon, and HUAC? These were working people. Actors? yes. Movie Directors? Yes. Writers? Yes. Famous people? Some, but most were… just actors, writers, directors and certainly not Billionaires.
Even today, people lose their jobs over an oft-hand racist remark. Is this justice? Does the punishment fit the crime? In some extreme cases, if chronic, yes it does. But for a one-time remark, should they be ostracized? Should they be forced to wear the Scarlett ‘R”?
Nope.
Fuck nope.
Okay, for my purposes, this is enough.
When did we slip back into McCarthyism?
As far as I can glean, this was a personal phone call from an idiot to a… as CNN says, “Girlfriend and Mistress.”
Ok, the man is married. And he has a BFF who happens to be female.
Why should we care?
If one can point the ‘Racist’, the ‘Scarlett’, the ‘Communist’ finger at someone, thus dragging them through the muck, and down in to perdition, on an accusation, then what?
What, and who is next?
People who kick rats?
Or speak ill of rats?
In the privacy of their own homes (personal phone calls)
Fuck with rats?
Or even fuck rats?
Who-the-fuck-cares?
How did we get here?
This is political correctness run amok.

*BREAKING BAD NEWS!*
Exclusively Here on TT & Hiero-Glyph!
That means you won’t hear it anywhere else! (Because we made it up)
The Results are finally in from yesterday’s, recent, last week’s election!
Okay was not last week; just seems that way.
Here are the tallies:
Jim Morrison: 20, 000
He is an Accident Going Somewhere to Happen: 20, 001
Walk of Shame: 20,010
The Kind and Good and the Ugly Moral Folks: 20,005
Puddles in My Beer: 0
Now, after some contentiousness, and some hanging chaffs, and some fourteen pissed off, and some sixteen or so pissed on, and some countless bored, and some dead armadillos, and some more hanging chaff, it was decided that the vote went unanimously to:
PUDDLES IN MY BEER!!
(And the crowd went nuts)
“But, but, but, how is that unanimous?” One pollster inquired.
“Because Son,” The State said, “Because theirs was the only un-contested, not so much molested, unambiguous result.”
“Oh.”
Now before we exposé the PUDDLES IN MY BEER platform (gangplank), we must survive the Inauguration Ball.
And here to help us along with that, May I present to Y’all, our most ardent (and redundant) supporters!
Willie And The William’s Boys!
Take it away Boys!
Thanks to Willie an’ Them For that Rather Upbeat Rendition of …what was it again? *taps Willie on the shoulder* “Uh Willie, ya fucked the lyric: it is “Puddles In My Beer”; not ‘bubbles’, get it right fer fuck sake… Goin’ to Austin…I mean DC. Aw shit. Never mind! Just get the damn song right, OK?”
And Thank You Both Hanks for that rather unifying ditty in honor of the forgotten, vanquished.
But now, to prove we are not all that…uh… sanctimonious.
We give some equal / air time to the losers, er, Honorable Opposition:
Take it away Jimmy!
But don’t take it too far or too long. We are watching you. Loser!
“Uh… Thank you…uh what was your name again? Oh yeah, Jimmy.
Well, Hey! Let’s give a big round of applause for…uh Jimmy and his comedy!”
“Thank you Johnny!”
Tomorrow (Or Next Beer) we will tell you the plan forward.
Hang tight in the meantime.
We love our Country!

Didn’t we?
Call-Ment Me
Good Morning and Good Friday
Now I realize hearing rock music this early in the morning is probably not everyone’s cup of tea/joe/gin/sloe gin/slow joe, or other.
However, I do have a small request and I have bastardized appropriated stolen this song to illustrate it.
Graphically and Acoustically.
I love all y’all’s comments. (But damnit! they ain’t enuff of ’em)
So… listen to the song (it will wake you up, not necessarily in a good way, but wake you it will. (Little ‘Yoda’ comin’ there at’cha) And please be sure to crank up the volume to get the ‘full benefit’.
And take a sec to comment (good or bad) on my stuff. Well, the stuff you choose to read anyhow, as feedback is the song of my soul. And it is good and it is good for you. That is, if you come here for ‘value’ anyway.
Yes: Take some time; drop a dime; make a rhyme; throw in a lime; give me some time (Friends! Romans! Texans! and ‘others’; Lend me your beers.)
Okay: That made absolutely no sense what-so-ever, but feel me?
Happy Good Friday to all my good friends

Well, allow me to retort:

This is my day.
I have (check ’em) all these wanna-be posts colliding:
1. He is an accident going somewhere to happen (just about a recent trip to Kroger’s)
2. Puddles in my beer (don’t ask)
3. Jim Morrison (Seriously do not ask)
4. Walk of Shame (again… don’t go there)
5. The kind and good and great and moral folks I live about here in East Memph (ask about this one) I love it.
Your votes will be tallied.
Now get on with it.

My Blog is no longer an aversion

Therefore, since I am leaving soon
(Insha’Allah.. Joke: probably get killed for that one–Y’all know who I am here and on which side I fall upon–Atheist) I am not for lack of a term: ‘an Evangelical Atheist’. I do not care what you believe or don’t believe. My only further statement is atheists can be moral and good people, just like theists. We can also be immoral and bad people, just like theists. And we can be some kind of combination of the two; just like theists.
Hopefully, that above statement loses me not any of my followers (save one: my mother), But if so this is Karma (and no! I am not Buddhist nor Hindi either), then I will adopt the philosophy of a great ‘blogger-man’ I admire, respect, follow, and really despise:

Now. This is not in my manifesto, but I do find me subscribing to it more and more, day by day. Not sure why, but I do think OM has a valid point here: He writes for HIM.

A Cease and Desist Letter to the Easter Bunny
Happy Easter, Y’all.
Hop on over to Abby Has Issues!
You will laugh! I promise.
Hello Hare,
Thank you for taking time out of your mall appearance today—I know it’s a big time of year for you—but this really can’t wait any longer.
It has been brought to our collective attention as an overly politically correct society on a mission to banish all fun that your existence is causing some, shall we say, “issues” I would like to address.
First of all, let’s talk about this egg situation.
I realize it’s tradition for children to color and look for these Easter eggs — henceforth to be known as “Spring Spheres” or “Ornamental Orbs”— but unless we know that these are free range, organic eggs produced from chickens given nothing but a diet of gold-dusted non-GMO corn and poultry pedicures, I’m afraid this practice will have to be stopped. We simply can’t have that danger around.
While a great alternative might have been plastic eggs, there…

“Please Stand By”
Now, I know what a few of you (you happy few) may be thinking:
“Lance has run out of material to honestly write about.” (Since I seem of late to be posting only video and Lenny bits with a few rants thrown in for balance.)
And I can certainly understand how you might come to that conclusion.
Please allow me to assure you: nothing could be further from the truth.
Without putting too fine a point on it, I am in a transition. (Personally, not Blog-wise—I remain true to my Charter and the ambitions that prompted me to launch this Blog—so don’t get worried.
And I did reserve the right to follow ‘much more as becomes my wont, )
There is a wealth of old and new and in-between stuff on deck. And trying not to get cliché, I may be forced to pull the plug soon, but only for a little while until I land back on my feet.
So…
If you log on to me one day and see this:

At some risk of pissing off the Civil Rights’ Folks I am leaving you with this Sam Cooke. And certainly not trying to co-op the Civil Rights’ Movement, but when words and songs and meaning from a movement cannot touch all the people, well then it is really not a ‘movement’ per se, is it?
And it is a really cool song: part of our American Heritage; not just for Black Folk.
But for all of us who need change.
Hope you enjoy the inspiration.
Cheers,

More Breaking News Bad
The Malaysian Prime Minister, in a gut wrenching announcement this morning announced what we all feared: The Plane Ended its Flight Somewhere Over the Indian Ocean.
He went on to plead that the media respect the privacy of the grieving families.
What is CNN doing all day?
Showing over and over the video of the shattered families. One shot of a woman wailing, prostrate on the floor. Another shot of a woman being carried out on a stretcher. And on and on ad nauseam.
All I can say is What The Fuck CNN!?
Pretty sure Fox is doing the same, but I have not tuned into them.
Down In The Hole
I got this song stuck in my head.
Now, it will be stuck in yours.
Enjoy.
From the Great Mini-Series
And Tom Waits for no Man.
And then there is this:
“Treme”
Just another bit Spike Lee…
When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts
Who I think is awesome. (wanna argue? I know Spike can be very polarizing)
Comment box below is open for business. Wail Away!
Yet, even given that, one, (all y’all) must admit: Spike is one helluva film maker
If Van Gogh…
Okay
Stupid Thursday…
“What’re ya doin’ Saturday night?”
“Committing suicide.”
“What about Friday Night?”
In The Texan, I Caint Make This Shit Up… Beep Beep Beep, Updated for 2017
Watch the vid.
Please
Nuff said
We love You Molly!
“If you could see me now….”
We need you now more than ever Molly.

Like or Have Not
Y’all know.
Y’all know, those of ya who ‘know’ me.
I live for your ‘likes’
I live for comments to continue whatever conversations…
But, of late, I have received some ‘instant likes’
From people I follow.
How does this happen?
I post something, and I get instant ‘like’
This is bullshit.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but, one should ponder:
I do not ‘like’ posts I have not read.
Please do not ‘like’ shit you have not read.
Just for the sake of ‘liking’
This does not impress me.
Complex Folks
We are all of us, complicated, yet worthy people.
We have our own foibles, our own agendas.
We are worthy.
Honestly, I am fresh out (of agendas)
Yet here I am chastising you for having same.
Or none.
Worth is just a worthless word to me.
I know this now.
This post will self-destruct in ten minutes, as it is just a worthless rant.
And most sincerely, not worth a cup of spit.
Catch Y’all manana.
(That’s Spanish)
I think.
–Lance, Your Worthy Servant.
P.S. I think what my worthless diatribe was trying so eloquently to say… was that I love my fellow writer community. We all have worth. (Well except for that worthless schmuck who don’t like Lenny Bruce… and ya know I am even just kidding on that)
Kinda
Not Really
Never
