Happy Frigg'in New Year

Well check off another year. Good-bye 2009, welcome 2010. And why am I happy that 2010 is here, because I don't like living in a odd year. Just kidding, I really don't give a crap what year it is, for me it's just a step closer to the end. So with the same energy that I had yesterday I will jump into the new year with both of the same feet I had last year. But I do hope that the people that come to this site have a great year. Now get outta here you knuckleheads.

Santa’s Bad Day

One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready
for is annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got
sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular
ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then
Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa
even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were
about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows
where. More stress.

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the
toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went
into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.

When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the
liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally
dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the
kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw
end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He
opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great Christmas tree.

The angel said, very cheerfully, “Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t it a lovely
day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?”

Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas
tree.

A Wonderful Christmas.....'NOT"

Christmas time is a wonderful time of the year. The excitement of coming out and finding all the presents under the tree. So it was with great expectation on Christmas morning I dropped to my knees and scanned beneath the tree for a present with Uncle Willie's name on it. Well do you know what? I could not find a single package, because your pal got crap for Christmas. That's right nothing, nada.zilch, zip. I was so shocked and depressed that my wife went into my closet and wrapped one of my own shirts and gave it to me. And it was my size which was very nice. So now all I can say to all is" Merry Frigg'in Christmas."

Spin Party Vol.2

More information about the get together with the spin people at my house last Sunday. First I want to say that the people who came to the par-ta are a wonderful group everyone one of them are easy to talk to and I feel like I have know them all my life, I enjoy being around them. OK now that I got that crap out of the way, let us begin.

First to arrive was Mary and her husband Peter. Peter is a very nice guy and he is very quite and now I know why. Mary with a couple of glasses of wine in her can not stop talking. I mean non stop mouth movement, I don't want to say she talked alot but when she left there were blue streaks all over the floor. Poor Peter.

Next in was Jim. We were having a little snow, but Jim was dressed for the for the blizzard of 41. He had so many cloths on that it took him 1 hour to get ready to join us. Next in was Dede and her friend Mark. Dede brings her own beer because she only drinks Bud lite. And there is no Bud-Lite in my house. But she sucked them down and had to drink the beer that I had on hand, which was Puttynose a Brewery in New Hampshire. So I gave her a pale ale and she proceeded to add water to the beer. Oh well you can lead them to a quality beer but you can't make them like it. But that's the way she likes her beer and I like her a whole lot, so let her add the water. Next up was Amy AKA Evil who arrived like the princess that she is. She was all decked out in her fancy city cloths, and dressed for the ball. She had a couple of other balls to go to this night and this was her first stop on her "look how beautiful I am" night out. I have to say she did look pretty good.

And there was Hellboy Josh who did some of the cooking but got all the praise. Now your pal is not one for praise,I just like to be in tha back round and know that everything was good. But holy crap I did do something people, give me a little pat on the back for Cripe sakes.

Ok I'm cool now and I just want to say that it was a very good night spent with people that I like spending time with.

Singing in Church

This past Monday my wife and I started a new Christmas tradition. My wife and I and a friend traveled to Bath Maine to the Chocolate Church to sing Christmas songs. And it was a great experience. The old church, which is now used as a theater, was filled with people of all ages. Most of the people in attendance were under 5 years old and that was a good thing because that's the group who really love the holiday season.

The one thing that I really liked was that everyone in the place was singing at the top of their lungs, and it sounded great. It gave all theshower singer a chance to show their stuff. All in all it was a great night and to top it off Santa was even there. I will be back next year for sure.

Spin Party Vol. 1

Yesterday was a get together with some of the spin people (They are not a strange new type of human being, but just a bunch of so called ordinary folks.) And what was really nice was that all but on person showed, (I will not reveal that it was Heidi.)but that it was in a snow storm. There was Dede and Mark who got the long distance award, Amy AKA Evil who showed all dressed up, very nice. Mary and Peter showed with a snow plow on their ride and after the party they plowed my driveway. Jim was there as well, and came dressed for the Arctic. Hellboy Josh was also in attendance and was praised over and over and over for the lovely treats that he put together. Nice work Josh for doing everything and letting me sit back and eat cookies all evening.

It was a very nice get together. I am a little rushed today so I will return to the party in tomorrows post.

Sunday Funnies

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

Stuff

Just a couple of things that I am reading and seeing lately. First, yesterday I ran the spin class with my Christmas workout which consisted of riding hard with visions of sugar plums dancing in everyone head. And you know how hard that can be.

I am watching the very interesting story of Sara Jessica Parkers removal of her mole. A quote from her after a women approached her on a beach upset that she had gotten rid of her "signature." . "For about the next 15 minutes I couldn't hear anything because I thought I'd made a terrible mistake. Can they put it back on?" My advise a little crazy glue will do the trick.

The on going craziness of Glen Beck and all the people over at Fox. First the Glen Beck movie "The Christmas Sweater" on opening night, 34 people attended this film in New York and Boston combined. And one of the biggest controversy was Rupert Murdoch's Christmas card that said Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. On the horror of it.

The press will not be satisfied until Tiger Wood is brought into the town square and stoned to death, not with stones, but with the Titlists Grand Z Silver golf balls.

And the rights wing wing nut who are against health care for all, cleaning the environment, paying any taxes, wanting to own any kind of firearm, even a missile launcher just for hunting, and of course make it a law that everyone has to be a
Christian. What the fuck!

Here is a song that I used in my Xmas workout. It is becoming one of my favorites. It's by Mindy Smith.

Happy Days Are Here Again and Again and Again and Ag............................................

Last night my wife and I were watching the old plasma when we came upon the 30 year reunion of Happy Days, which took place in 2005, so it was the 4 year reunion of the 30Th anniversary of Happy Days. Well we both just had to stop and watch. I never watched the show when it was in it's hay day, but there was something so wholesome about this reunion that I did not have the heart to pass it by.
But what is the most fun, in my opinion is seeing how everyone has aged over the 30 or 34 years. Some have aged graciously and others have passed on, like Arnold.
But what I really love, and I love this in any show, is the blooper. Oh yes, your pal gets a really big kick out of bloopers. I know that it is a sickness but I can't help it, there funny.

So if you have nothing to do and next year and you come upon the 5th reunion of the 30th reunion take a look see, it will make you smile. Or not.

Guns 2

As I said yesterday I am not against people owning guns, but I am for background checks with a waiting period. And this should be a comprehensive look into the background and mental state of a person who is going to buy a firearm. Also there should also be a better way to monitor the purchase a firearm at gun shows, as the following video shows.

I have had personal experience with a person who should not have been allowed to purchase a gun. My youngest son who had a real problem losing his temper and striking out at anybody and anything that he thought disrespected him. He would go from being a calm passive person to a all out rage in a matter of seconds, most of the time for no reason at all. And he was able to buy a handgun, over my many objections. Thank goodness he never did strike out at anyone with this gun, except himself as later on in his life he took his own life with this guns he had purchased.

Like I have mentioned I think anybody who wishes to own a firearm should be given the opportunity but lets look at the person and make sure they are not going to hurt themselves or anyone else. Lets just be smart about it.

Happiness is a Warm Gun or is That a Warm Body

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It's been the year of the gun in Tennessee. In a flurry of legislative action, handgun owners won the right to take their weapons onto sports fields and playgrounds and, at least briefly, into bars.

That is from a article from Associated Press writers Lucas L. Johnson II in Memphis and Bill Poovey in Chattanooga Tenn. Being able to bring a gun into a bar sounds like there shouldn't be any problem there. What is wrong with this picture. What's next, it will be OK to drive drunk as long as you have a concealed weapon in the car.

A nationwide review by The Associated Press found that over the last two years, 24 states, mostly in the South and West, have passed 47 new laws loosening gun restrictions. And that is why the people who work here at Willie's World will be skipping those states.

Some of the new state laws that were pasted.
_ Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Utah have made it illegal for businesses to bar their employees from storing guns in cars parked on company lots. Oh yea, there has never been a employee who has ever shot and killed other employees.

_ Montana, Arizona and Kansas have allowed handgun permits to be issued to people who have had their felony convictions expunged or their full civil rights restored. Where is the problem there.

Tennessee and Montana have passed laws that exempt weapons made and owned in-state from federal restrictions. Tennessee is the home to Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, the maker of a .50-caliber shoulder-fired rifle that the company says can shoot bullets up to five miles and is banned in California. Shoot bullets 5 miles, now you can hunt from the luxury of you own arm chair.

Now I am not for banning all guns, but what I am for is intelligent laws that govern the ownership of fire arms. Another paragraph from the article about a study about gun ownership.

A Violence Policy Center project has mined news reports to find that more than 100 people have been killed by holders of handgun-carry permits since 2007, including nine law enforcement officers. The project originally intended to list all gun crimes by permit holders, but there were too many to keep track of, Rand said.

"They shoot each other over parking spaces, at football games and at family events," Rand said. "The idea that you're making any place safer by injecting more guns is just completely contradicted by the facts."I feel safe knowing that I am protected from harm because there are all these responsible people out there packing heat and keeping the peace.

How I learned to mind my own business.

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.'

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the

planks, so I looked through to see what was going on.....somebody poked me in the eye with a stick!

Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

F'in Snow

Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. Oh yes, the beautiful crystalline flakes of joy that paint the landscape with it's strokes of white. Ah yes "crystalline flakes of joy" that's just what I was thinking about as I trudged along behind my snow blower twice yesterday. Oh the complete immersion of man and natures white blanket. The numb fingers and toes, the snot filled mustache, the signs that the winter is finally here. I raise my frozen and numb middle finger high in the air to salute mother nature. FU-K YOU!

Spinning with Typhoid Evil

Today spin class was run by our gal Evil, AKA Amy. But something was just not right, and what was not right was that she was in last stages of the flu. But she, being a trooper came in today to infected the whole class in one failed swoop. There is nothing I love more than to hear a phlegmy cough that is amplified many times with a microphone. And with her being sick she did not ride the bike today, she stood in front of the class and barked out her orders like a drill instructor with a runny nose. "Spin faster ,cough, hack, slurp and add a click." And this affliction also lowered her squeaky voice to what sounded like, Robert Goulet with a frog caught in his throat.

But our gal made it through class with a very good work out that everyone really enjoyed. Except for one of the regulars, the other Wendy, who came to class with dark glasses and a look of pain upon her face. It seems she was out celebrating the holidays and celebrated just a tad to much. But she can recuperate on her vacation to Germany and come back fresh as a daisy, if she can stay away from many liters of beer. Well any who it was a very good class taken with many people not feeling well.

A Light Dusting


This post today is about the weather man on our local channel here is Maine, and his name is Kevin Mannix. And I would love to see Mr Mannixes home. And why would I want to check out his home you are wondering. Well at the end of last week I was watching the news and Mr. Mannix was on and talking about the up coming weather on Saturday night. We were expecting our first snow of the year, and Mr. Mannix said " In the mid coast area we are expecting a light dusting." And guess what, we got about 4 to 5 inches on Saturday/Sunday morning. And as I was walking behind my snow blower, snow covering my whole body, clearing my driveway. I thought of Kevin Mannix and his home, and the 4 or 5 inches of a light dusting that must be covering every table top in his home. Because his perception of a light dusting is way off from mine. So Mr Mannix I say to you, get a shop vac and clean up that 5 inch's of dust in your home, even if it means getting ride of the dust angles and that dustman your kids made in the living room and try to get your forecast just a little on target.

The picture is of my truck covered in a light dusting of snow.

Sunday Funnies

Some of Rodney Dangerfield's one liners:

My wife's not too smart. I told her, our kids were spoiled. She said, "All kids smell that way."

My wife has to be the worst cook. I've got the only dog who begs for alka-seltzer.

When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm very sorry. We did everything we could. But he pulled through."

A girl phoned me the other day and said, "Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home.

I come from a stupid family. During the civil war my great uncle fought for the West.


My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night it was to time an egg.

I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face

When my old man wanted sex, my mother would show him a picture of me.

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

Why, her cooking is so bad that the flies pitched in to fix the screen door. I leave dental floss in the kitchen and watch the roaches hang themselves.

Who Came First, God or the Egg


A Fort Worth-area couple said one of their hens laid an egg with a cross on the end of it. Pam and Tracy Norrell of Burleson, who displayed the odd-shaped egg, said they believe it's a sign of encouragement during the holiday season.

This was copied from an article that appeared on a CBS web site in the Texas town of Fort Worth. It was right under the article about Texas executing a retarded man. Well any way the couple called the egg a message from God and that they believe God has given them a divine sign. I don't know if this story is what it is cracked up to be, I really think the message could be scrambled or some kind of shell game. I don't have a lot of eggsperience in these types of stories so I will have to check the imformation in my hen-cyclopedia for some answers. But what I really think is going on here is that it is just a big yoke.

Spinclassinterruptess

Yesterday your pal ran the spin class, and if I do say so myself, and I do, it was very good. I started out with the Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth" to warm up with and then onto "Baby Please Don't Go" by Van Morrison just to get that heart rate up. Then it was up the hill with Sheryl Crows "If It Makes You Happy', and down the hill standing all the way with Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers "I Won't Back Down". And then it was up and down with Traffics "Glad",and then up with Steve Millers "The Stake" and down with John Mayer's "No Such Thing" and up with Paolo Nutinis "New Shoes" and down with "De Do Do, De Da Da" by the Police. Are you getting out of breath already? Then for the up hill I tyred "Hardest Part" by Coldplay and speeding down hill with Barenaked Ladies "It's All Been Done. And when I was in the middle of "Tangled" by Maroon 5 when my IPod sto..........................

Let's Get Tiger

The big story for the last couple of days has been the Tiger Woods car accident in Florida. Every major new outlet has led with this story for the past 3 days. And today there was a new conference with a police spokes person handing out information about what was going to happen to Tiger Woods. Well it seems that the police are going to charge Tiger with reckless driving. Right after the press conference a reporter was beside himself over the fact that Tiger Woods would only be charged with reckless driving, with a find of 170.00. I thought this was a strange reaction, it was as if the reporter wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than the death penalty for this car accident. Why do people love to see someone famous in trouble or having a bad time. What kind of a compassionate people are we? I find this behavior very disturbing. Tiger Wood has been a good citizen, father and a very good role model for children. Why do we feel we have to bring him down. Very strange.

Monday's Spinsational Workout

This is your Monday morning spin report. And guess what, Evil was in great form today, as the workout was a very good and challenging workout. And par for the course the music was just right for the ride.

The rider in attendance were Mary, who looked really refreshed after a holiday weekend, Dede was looking just darling in this cute little blue number she was wearing. And of course there was Heidi, always a beautiful tall. but not too tall, drink of water. And sweet Wendy who may need a hearing aid, because during the work out I was joking about how hard it was, and said that I will be relaxing after the workout in the back of an ambulance. Wendy thought I said that I was going to vacation in Camden this weekend, (Camden Maine and not Camden New Jersey.) And the woman, who I have not learned her name yet, was there. And Jim, who I learned today never gets breathless during a hard workout, even as his heart rate reaches a high level. He must be in very good shape or what I think is that he is a robot. I don't know for sure, but he seems to know alot about every subject that anyone brings up. So he is really smart or the robot thing. I vote for the robot. And then last but not least is everybody's evil cutie pie, ERSG. Always in a good mood, and why is that. I think it really sooths her to see everyone sweating and panting like dogs in heat every Monday morning.

So good ride good music and good people. what more can you ask for. Maybe a F40 Ferrari.
