What the Story Should Have Been

Here is the real story:


A Fort Fairfield teenager who got lost while snowmobiling on Square Lake northwest of Caribou has been rescued by game wardens who found him curled up in the woods in 10-degree weather.

The Maine Warden Service says 19-year-old Lyman Messer was fading in and out of consciousness when wardens Gary Sibley and Adrian Marquis found him early Thursday morning after following snowmobile tracks.

Messer was wearing a wool pea coat, a T-shirt, shorts and boots. After Sibley gave Messer his snow pants and Marquis wrapped him in blankets, the wardens drove him by snowmobile for 45 minutes to an awaiting ambulance on the closest plowed road.

Messer was treated for frostbite at a Fort Kent hospital.

A friend had notified the Warden Service Wednesday night when Messer failed to return from a snowmobile ride.

Messer was wearing a wool pea coat, a T-shirt, shorts and boots. Warden's were so pissed off at this knucklehead for dragging them out of their warm homes, and that he had been so stupid to go out in 10-degree weather with a T-shirt and shorts, that they left him lying in the snow in the fetal position until his testicles fell off.

93 Why Not 94

93 minutes. That's how long the spin class was last night. Evil was in her glory, yelling and screaming her way through the whole class. And when it was over, the class looked like they had been beaten with a spin bike cleaning rag and sprayed with a sweat hose, what ever that is. And anybody who has been sprayed with a sweat hose knows how disgusting that can be. I, on the other hand had hardly broken a sweat and was looking for 30 minutes more. In fact after class I left my truck in the parking lot and sprinted all the way to my home.

Poor Mary who had just gotten back from a 2 week vacation, without my Rolex but that's another story, was really pushing herself hard. She had too go hard because Evil kept singling her out with phrases like " tanned slacker and what's the matter Mary too many margaritas". It was just brutal.

After the torture was over, Evil said that this training phase is over and she will be taking it easy on us. HA! Next she will be concentrating on trying to break our body's and spirit simultaneously. Oh boy, I am just pleased as punch to hear that. Somebody please help me I am a sick person.

You sure are with these spin class posts Uncle Willie. Is that all you do?

Timmy, how would you like to be beat with a sweat hose?

What's a sweat hose?

Shut up Timmy. And my life does not revolve around spin class.

Where you going Uncle Willie?

Spin class. D'oh!

It's been a long winter Timmy.

BONUS POST........ Color Test

Go here for the color test. Give it a try.

Can you say dead. Sure you can.

A tribute to children's public television pioneer Fred Rogers will include an effort to get people everywhere to wear a sweater on what would have been his 80th birthday. I was a bit too old for Mr. Rogers ,but every once in a while while, as I was channel surfing, I would stop and watch for a minute or two. I always thought that this would be a wonderful program for younger kids. It was so charming and light. With great non threatening characters. So on his birthday, March 20th, I will be wearing a sweater in his honor. It may be a little uncomfortable in the shower, but what the heck. Can you say soggy, I know you can.

Enjoy Mr Roger in this clip. He must have been a real good sport to poke fun at himself and his program.

Thanks for the Rolex Mary

Well Mary's back from vacation all tan and rested. But she is missing something, lets see I just can't figure it out. Oh yea, it's the Rolex watch that she was suppose to get for me. When I asked her if she got it for me, she just laughed and blew me off. Well I will not forget it, that is for sure. How am I going to tell the time without a Rolex. How am I going to flaunt a expensive watch in front of the spin class. I have been dissed by Mary and there has to be some kind of retribution. Oh I know what I can do to thank her. I will set up her bike, not in her favorite spot, but somewhere in the middle of the room in the back row. Oh boy that's sweet. Let see, I can make sure see gets the squeakiest bike in town, now that will annoy the crap out of her. She is going to feel the wrath of your Pal. Well maybe I should think this thing over. Mary's pretty tough and I might not want to rattle her cage. I can still remember how she looked when she stole the bike from the innocent young women in class one night. You know on second thought I'll just bide my time and wait for the proper moment and then strike like a snake hiding in the tall grass. Or maybe I'll just do nothing. That will really get to her.

Pushing Pushing Daisies

Because of the writers strike one of my favorite programs, Pushing Daisies, has not been shown. As I have written in previous posts this is one of my faves. Now you can catch up on the previous episodes by going here. And this will make your pal a happy man because, if a lot of people watch the program , they keep it on the air and that in turn will make me very happy.


Keeping with the Pushing Daisies theme, here is the opening of the show using Lego's. It's really worth a look. I want to give a tip-o-the hat to Jeremy at Jeremy's Status Message for bringing it to my attention. Jeremy has been a real fan of Lego's his whole life. In fact I can see in his future, if science keeps progressing and perfecting organ replacement, that if he ever needed a replacement. He will be the first person in history to have a replacement organ completely made of Lego's.

Evil's 90 minutes of Hell

Well I just finished spin class ( Oh Christ here we go again with the spin class crap) and it was only 45 minutes long. Not like the class that I took on Thursday which was let see, it's hard for me to concentrate because of the lack of fluids and oxygen deprivation, say 90 MINUTES LONG. That's let see, 60 seconds in a minute times 60 minutes that's 200 thousand seconds and that's 90 minutes, I think. Well anyway Evil was in her glory yelling at us from the get go,

" Come on you morons move those legs."

And my favorite gem from Evil is when she says,

" If anybody wants to leave before the 90 minutes are up just let me know that you are OK".

But if you did leave before the 90 minutes of pure hell is up, you are called a wimp in front of all the other people who stayed, behind your back. I ,being the type of person that I am ,will never include myself in this childlish behavior.



But other than that the class was really quite a good work out. And I must be getting into better shape because I only needed a half power shot on the defibrillator after class.

They Just Keep Repeating Themselves Repeating Themselves

I just finished watching the program 48 Hours Mystery and I am in a tizzy. The program follows a murder investigation from beginning to end. The show is really interesting. But there in one annoying things about this program, and it is the way that they spend about 10 minutes, after every commercial, telling me what I had just seen. And it happens after every break. This is when I start to yell at the top of my lungs " I JUST SAW IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME AGAIN". If they stopped with the recaps the program would be about 12 minutes long.

The previous paragraph is about the TV program 48 Hours Mystery and the way they keep repeating ever little detail of the program that you just watched. And that I get pissed off and start to yell at the TV "I JUST SAW IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME AGAIN'. And that if they stopped updating after every commercial the program would be about 12 minutes long. This is the craziness that is 48 Hours Mystery, but you know what, I still watch it. I guess I love to get pissed off.

The post I am writing about is the TV program 48 Hours Mystery and that they keep recapping everything that happen before the commercials. And what I said was that, it is driving me crazy. So much so that I have taken to yelling at the TV "'I JUST SAW IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME AGAIN". And I also said that if they would cut out the recap the show would be about 12 minutes long. But I said that I still watch it and I love to get pissed off. It feels like this program is 4 hours long.

I just previously wrote that watching this program, with the recap after every commercial, makes me feel that this program is 4 hours long. Just like this post.

Vacationing at Walt Digney Weird

This is* Rebecca on vacation at Disney World. Is she having a good time or is she going crazy? You decide. I know I would look like this if I had spent 3 or 4 days at Disney World. It's just one too many Disney character with a giant head. It's a the never ending parade. It's the thought of Walt Disney's head being frozen somewhere. It's way too many obnoxious kids being ,well obnoxious. Or how about 280.00 bucks a day, to get into the park, for a family of four. Sounds like a whole lot of fun to me. Or maybe I can have all of my teeth removed with out any Novocaine. You know something. It's a hard decision.

*Rebecca does not look like this all of the time. 99.9% of the time she is a seriously beautiful woman. I hope that this disclaimer will keep me in her good graces. Love ya babe. That's how they talk in hollywood .

Grab Your Buckets and Let's Spin

I just discovered a way that I can do a spin class, when they cancel the class for some stupid reason. And you can do this at home by yourself or with a group. But the best feature of of this spin class is that you must stuff yourself right before class for the best results. I can't wait to give this a try. And I think that Evil can really get behind this new spin thing.

Worst People In the World Yesterday

Why do any stations, other than Fox News, have Ann Coulter on there program, what is there excuse. We like her because she rips people up with lies and innuendos and is one of the most hateful people on the planet. It is a mystery to me. But Kieth Olberman gets it.

Thanks Anonymous........... I Think

This is to anonymous who left a comment yesterday. This person writes that what they really like is my whining and bad spelling. Well I am just overwhelmed with joy. Then you would really enjoy my foul mouth or my drooling problem as well. You would be overjoyed by my morning breath or that occasional flatulent problem. You can also get off on the fact that I constantly smell my fingers. So keep those comments coming. Oh I forgot too mention my lazy eye. I can really feel your joy now. Have a nice day from your not perfect Pal.

Bonus Spin Post.............THANKS DEDE!

Uncle Willie you are wearing me out with these spin stories.

Timmy, have you ever seen the movie The Silence of the Lambs .

I'll be good Uncle Willie, I promise.

Good Timmy, now put away the farvar beans and that nice bottle of Chianti.

This is a shout out to Dede who today opened her mouth and that in turn made me suffer a little bit longer. Don't be such a teachers pet. Sometimes you just want to glide to the end, maybe you are tired or maybe that hernia operation is starting to feel a little strange. Boy I was thinking . yea we are in the cool down phase and I can relax. But wait I here a voice in the distance," You forgot about the standing surge". Then Sandy says "Oh yea I forgot', let's try to give ourselves a heart attack ". And that was the last thing I remembered before I came too. So everybody should chill out. Right Dede.

Humbling Experience

This Sunday while going through the New York Times book review I spotted these words above the review, Willie's World . Upon seeing this I started to read the review.
If the agents at Gutanamo Bay ever run out of interrogation techniques they might consider forcing their prisoners to spend hours reading aloud to one another from ......... In my mind the next words would be from the blog Willie's World. This is when I started to look at the whole review and discovered that the book they were reviewing was My Life and Our Times by Willie Brown. What this shows me is that I was so blinded by my own ego that all I could see was that this review mention my blog, holy crap I need help. Well I am now back to earth and I have got myself under control ,as much as I can get myself under control. I am also starting a lawsuit against the New York Times for using Willie's World in the book review.

Willie's Word Valintine

Rose's are red

Here's how they do it in Hillsborough County Florida .

Help Police Someone Has Stolen My Bike

Well tonight I took the class with Evil where she made us go for 80 minutes. I think the Bataan march was a little shorter. But I made it with only minimal heart damage. But other than that the only bump all night was my ride was taken while my back was turned. I had gotten to the class early because the last class I had taken on Monday, I was a little late, and what this mean is that you get the last bike, which is usually one of these bikes that when you start to add tension to the flywheel it goes from nothing to very hard in two clicks. It is not fun. So any who I get there early and I grab a bike and place it in the first row. Then I went to get my water bottle and when I turned around it had been taken by the very women who had her bike taken the previous Monday by Mary. And she looks so innocent. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather. I just stood there with my jaw on the floor. Well I decided not to make a scene and just grabbed a new ride. Well life's a bitch and then you die. From now on if I have to leave the workout room for any reason I will have to tote this 100 lb. bike with me. I wonder if the bike will fit in the stall in the men's room.

Urine the Winners Circle

Well, well, well the things we learn in spin class. Today Evil gave us a little information on how people that do triathlons urinate in their bicycle shorts while they are competing.(Note to self don't shake the hands of any triathletes after a race.) I always wondered why their sweat had a little yellow tint to it. Maybe this group should start to wear Depends or maybe Depends should develop bicycle shorts. I almost asked about what happens when they have to take a doot. But you know what, I don't want to know. I have this picture in my mind now of everybody that crosses the finish line has a load in their pants. I can see it now, to the winner goes this beautiful trophy and a roll of toilet paper.

This is a public service for the ladies from the caring people here at Willie's World and P-Mate.

Lost in Translation

He conseguido un nickle atascó en la nariz. This is what, in Spanish, I said to a women in Spain when I thought I was asking if she knew where the men room was. Her reply was just to stare at me for a second and walked away shaking her head. Instead of where is the men's room I had said that I had a nickle stuck in my nose. But these things happen. There are problems in knowing just a little Spanish. And the problem is, the answer you are given for your questions.

To make my point, my wife and I and our friends were vacationing in Spain a couple of years ago. We were staying in the Costa Del Sol area and decided to venture out into the surrounding area. So we rented a car for the day, and off we go . It was one of those beautiful bright days with perfect weather, not to hot and not to cold, just right. One of the first stop was a little village with these narrow streets that have just enough room for 2 very small cars to pass one a other. What attracted us to this little town was this church at the top of the highest point in this town. We made our way up to the church to have a look. When we arrived we found that the church was closed that day so we couldn't see the inside. We all made the best of it by walking around the perimeter to take many pictures. We were there for about a hour and was about to leave, when we were called over,by two women, who were inside the gate at the entrance to the church yard. They are going on and on in Spanish about something and our group just kept saying that we did not understand. I tyred the little Spanish that I knew, "I have a nickle stuck in my nose " but that was not getting us anywhere. Eventually with hand gestures and the one Spanish word that I did know,llave or key. We figured out that they where cleaning people and that they had been locked in. With hand gestures we said that we would go and get some help. We jumped in the car and headed for the town square. We spotted a policeman and we made him understand about what had happen to the people who were locked in the church yard. And it only took about 1 hour 45 minutes, and by then the cleaning people were all dead. Just kidding.

The point about knowing a few Spanish words really hit home on one of our quest to find this discount shop that sells leather coats. We had the town and the name of the store, so all we needed was to stop and ask directions. It must have been one of those times when the planets are all aligned ,but I asked for directions, in Spanish, and the person I asked went on and on telling me in Spanish and with hand gestures where the store was. Needless to say we did not understand one word and never found the store. So that's why I say a little Spanish is OK for saying hello and goodbye but don't start asking for more than that. Unless you want to tell someone you have a nickle stuck up your nose.

Just One More and That's It.

What the heck was this person thinking , "gee I look kinda cute", I don't think so. How did it start?

I think I'll get my one ear pierced, yes that looks great.

Lets do the other ear.

What about a small post in the nose, but that's all.You know I like that bone thru the nose look, just this one last ring
thru the nose.

I really don't like the way my eyebrows look, all hairy. They would
look great if they were both made of little steel balls .

I need a little color in my cheeks ,let me try a couple of more steel balls,
but that's it.

Well maybe just one more thing just to top off the whole look. I
know, I'll have my forehead tattooed. Looking good.

Now I can concentrate on that career in the corporate world and eventually work my way up the corporate latter to CEO. Or maybe a lawyer or doctor. Because this side show job, in the geek tent, is a dead end. Plus biting chicken heads off is getting me nowhere.

ASSinine

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue.
The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted "multiple, close-up views" of the woman's "nude buttocks" according to an agency order issued late Friday.
FCC's definition of indecent content requires that the broadcast "depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities" in a "patently offensive way" and is aired between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The agency said the show was indecent because "it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs _ specifically an adult woman's buttocks."
The agency rejected the network's argument that "the buttocks are not a sexual organ."

We have come along way from the Puritans in the way we look at the human body.
Wait a minute no we haven't. In the year 2008 someone is being fined for showing a nude buttock. Let me explain something to the FCC, every man or women has a buttock. And in my world ,and I am sure in many peoples world, showing someones ass is not indecent. But not the FCC who probably thinks about their ass a lot because of that stick that's shoved way up there. So there!

Here is a clip from the Tyra Banks show where Tyra and some of the audiance take off their pants. But please don't worry no ones shows their winky or hooha.

The Giants Won......... Get Over It.

Well the superbowl is over and my Giants stomped the New England Patriots in one of the best superbowl to date. I live in the northeast and everyone up here is a Pats fan. That means they refuse to accept the fact that they were beaten by a better team that day. It's alway, well they should have won, they were the better team. BullDongy. The best team that day won.



The best line about the superbowl was from a post on the Huffington Post



Tom Brady sacked all night, no one impregnated.



A little shot at the golden boy.

What I thought was the best commercial during the superbowl was from e-trade.

Drop the Bike and Back Away

Last night in spin class with the evil spin goddess running the class there was and incident. Some one in class had a bike that the seat adjustment bar was missing, so I had gone to find a wrench to try to adjust the seat. I was gone about 30 seconds and when I returned to the class, Mary wide eyed with this strange look on her face, was stealing the very bike that had this problem with the seat. The only problem was that it was this young girls bike who had claimed it before Mary had gotten to class. This girl was just about to burst into tears because she had her bike ripped from her hands by a crazed Mary. Mary was also moving out another bike, from Mary's personal position on the floor. She was out of control. I thought we were going to have to shoot Mary in the leg with one of those guns that they use to tranquilize wild animals. We finally calmed Mary down with a small piece of chocolate. The spin class went off with no further problems, except for the goddess trying to kill us all again.

Snarky Parker

Snarky Parker was a deputy sheriff of a western town of Hot Rock during the 1850s. With the aid of his talking horse Heathcliffe, he rid the town of Hot Rock of such dangerous critters as Ronald Rodent and Blackie McGoo.

Additional characters included Cuda Barra, a siren; Miss Butterball, the school marm; Slugger, the Hot Rock Cafe piano player; Noose Nolan, a reformed desperado; and Fluff Webster, his partner.

This was a children's show that I watched as a young lad. It seemed to me that when I was a young person the only shows on TV were puppet shows. Well any way Snarky Parker was the name I wanted to use as my url address for this blog. I thought that it would be no problem because I was the only one in the world who remembered this children's program from the 50's. But no, some other knucklehead got it. So being the genius that I am, I just reversed it and used Parkersnarky as my address. What a move to just reverse it, some times I scare myself with my intelligences. My head hurt for a week before I had come up with the idea of reversing Snarky Parker. So that is the story of how I came up with parkersnarky as this blogs address. Isn't that the most interesting story you ever heard. I bet it is.

Strawberry Alarm Clock

OK, let's get aboard the way back machine. The time 1969 your pal was 25 with 2 kids and a no good wife. At that time we would get together with friends on the weekend to have a couple of beers and watch the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and Mission Impossible. One night, while we were having one of these get togethers, there was a knock on the door. It was old friends who had just returned from California, where my buddy was in the Air Force. His girlfriend and him were dressed kind of strangely. What I mean is they had bell bottom pants, leather vest and they were wearing beads around their necks. So that night we all caught up on our lives and promised that we would get together again. So the next weekend we had our party once again, but this time my friends from California were going to be there. They brought new music with them from the west coast. Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messinger Service, Steve Miller, Jimmy Hendricks,Big Brother and the Holding Company. Very cool. We started to listen to the music and it wasn't long before they asked if I ever tried *pot. I said sure I cook in one every day. He said not cooking but smoking. I said I had not. Then all my friends grabbed me tied me up and forced me to take a hit as they say back in the day. Well all of a sudden things started to change. Every thing became funnier, music sounded better and everything looked better. Everything was groovy. Now on the weekend we were all just being far out and having a blast. My vocabulary was becoming peppered with word and phrases like Bogart,bummer,crash, cool, do your own thing,freaks, hassle, and tune in turn on and drop out. Well any who, my world was being rocked off course.



This post is not to influence anyone to smoke marijuana . Life is best lived with a clear mind, 50% of the time.



On one of the weekend night all of my friends were at my house having a good old time, when my buddy received a call from a person that they had met in California. It was one of the members of a rock group, The Strawberry Alarm Clocks, and that they were in Newark at a motel and asked us to come over and meet them. They had a hit record at the time ,Incense and Peppermints, that was popular. Let me paint a picture of that night. It was snowing we had about 4 inch on the ground. It was about 10:30 at night, I had to go to work the next morning at 6:30. So naturally I said lets go. It was a hazardest trip to Newark which took us a good 45 minutes . When we walked into their motel room it was like waking into a heavy fog of pot smoke, groovy I thought. They were just a bunch of good guys having a good time. We were their about 45 minutes when all of a sudden there was a pounding on the door and someone shouting " It's the police we know what you are doing in there so open up". Well my heart just stopped and I think I crapped and peed in my pants simultaneously. It was the most frightening moment in my life. Some one opened the door and one of the band members came rushing in laughing like a dammed fool. When I realized that it was a band member I just started to laugh so hard that I once again peed and crapped in my paints. After that we all had a real good time. We left the motel about 2:30 in the morning so it was a not a real groovy scene to get up at 6 to go to work the next morning. But to meet the Strawberry Alarm Clock that was cool.

* The only long term effect from smoking pot in my younger days, is that today I have a great desire to do spin class and write this blog. Also I am an expert on the name's and taste's of every junk food that has ever been made.

Enjoy the song Incense and Peppermints

Willie's World Contest for just Dede and Mary

I've gotten some feed back from people today about the contest. A lot of whining and complaining about the length, 10 questions, and the questions themselves. I thought it would be easy for someone who has been with me from the start but I guess not. So here is a couple of questions just for Dede and Mary.

1. What is my name? (and I don't mean my name, I mean your names)

2. Multiple choice. I am a : a. Man b. Women

3.Fill in the blanks: Häagen-Dazs sells ice cr--m.

OK ladies I hope this questions are a little more to your liking. So get the answers in ASAP, if you know the answers.
