Is your Twinkie banana flavored?

Want your Twinkie to taste delicious?
Here are a few ways to do it. First peel the wrapper off of your Twinkie, prepare it, then insert it in the oven. You've never tasted a Twinkie this good. See this link for recipe and complete details - Twinkie Gourmet Dessert
YES It's true, Twinkies are once again banana flavored. When first introduced in 1930s, they were banana flavored but in the 1940s a vanilla cream filling was substituted. But NOW the banana flavor is back Hurrah.

Avian pornography.


Avian pornography. A friend wanted me to send pictures of a Pigeon's "private parts". Well, I started to do that but I just couldn't bring my self to turn a pigeon upside down, part the feathers and take a picture. What if someone saw me? Would I be arrested? Should I pixelate them? Is that what they mean by "flipping the bird"??? Would the birds ever speak to me again?

She's an expert at determining the sex of pigeons but I decided to go with plan "B", see who lays an egg.

Since she's an expert, Bert's friend Evi volunteered to help determine the sex of Berts new pet pigeons.
She requested that I send her pictures of the birds "private parts". Well, I started to do that but I just couldn't bring my self to turn a pigeon upside down, part the feathers and take a picture. What if someone saw me? Would I be arrested? Would I lose all my friends? Is it illegal? Would the pictures be overexposed? Should I pixelate them? Is that what they mean by "flipping the bird"??? Would the birds ever speak to me again?
So I decided to go with plan B.. see who lays an egg.

Young guys, older women.


The Harvey series (part 14) Back when I was dating, I just started dating a very attractive woman a bit older than me and a friend gave me a rough time about it. He challenged me to go on a double date with him and he would find an older woman for the challenge.....It was a "who has the oldest woman contest".  
OK I says. So I showed up first at the nightclub (Biker bar) with my  attractive "older than me woman".
Then all heads turned and stared as he showed up with a GORGEOUS knock-out model-like shapely buxom blond bombshell in a tight-fitting glittery white dress, looked JUST like Dolly Parton, even her Blondish-silver hair, boobs... etc. Everyone got quiet and stared at her as she walked in, I'm sure they thought she was a movie star celebrity and had accidentally come to the wrong place. She was RED HOT... and also about 60+ years old. I was stunned, but she sure looked good. He easily won the bet.

Want more hours in a day?

Another clever idea from Ace L. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
NOW, Ace L wants everyone to line up their cars facing East and accelerate. This would cause the Earths rotation to slow down causing days to last longer.. instead of 24 hours, more like 40 hours per day so we could get more done in one day.

BERT says DON'T DO IT ACE L.. Bert just computed that Gravity would be so MUCH stronger that we'd all turn into big blobs spread out on the ground. It won't work Ace L. Don't do it.

What do you sit on ?


1966 Ford Mustang (Mustang not mine).
I've tried a variety of computer chairs but this one is my favorite.. a 1966 Ford Mustang drivers seat which I bought for $7 and mounted on an office chair swivel base (Yes it spins easily at 20 rpm).
And best of all it has a seat belt for when I get far too excited flying jets using Flight Simulator or while reading your blogs. And tilted all the way back (Heated foot rest) it leaves a nice spot for Tuna the cat to curl up and purr while I compute. It (the base) has many foot powered miles on it and has been repaired and welded a few times. The chair has had several new seat covers put on it over the years.
The whole chair tilts way back and I have a floating wireless keyboard which is suspended at just the right place..And I can still easily reach the phone, my coffee, or cold drink from the small elec cooler, and snacks from the shelf with a variety of treats. Also handy are several remotes for the TVs, VCR, DVD, 5 speaker Stereo sound-surround with sub-woofer, and the 10 remote control Chicken cams. The computer monitors, (22" and 19" LCD and laptop) and the CCTV monitors, and 2 TV's, printers, scanners, and switches for the remote pan/tilt cams are arrayed much like NASA Mission control at a "U" shaped desk.
It is SOOOOoooooo Comfortable I could sit there for days if it wasn't for the occasional need for, um exercise. What does your Chicken sit on?

Animal, vegetable, or mineral ? ?


What IS it ?
Clue #1 = It's probably within 20 feet of you now.
Clue #2 = You've probably had your hands on one in the last day or two.
Clue #3 = It's more likely found in the bedroom than the kitchen but it can be found nearly anywhere.

Clue #4 = It's aboard the International Space Station.
Clue #6 = This is only part of it.
Clue #7 = It makes noise when you undo it.

Read ALL the clues first, then if you don't get it, for answer, highlight between arrows --->Velcro, magnified 200 times<--

In - out, In - out, In - out, In - out

(030528 Video Diesel in-out patio screen door)
(This is short) . . I got tired of letting the cat and dog... in - out, in - out, etc, so I carefully rigged the door with counterweights, nylon string, and pulleys so it's easy to open and it closes automatically. Problem Solved. Both Tuna the cat and Diesel the dog can come and go as they please.

NOW, If I could only train the Chickens.
