Modern Life and

If you are one of those folks who thinks that Modern life is better than it was hundreds of years ago,,, I beg to differ,,,, Ok,, so we have running water, and indoor potties,,, but really , all this Cell phone,, Instant Messaging,,, Mobile computing,, Text messaging,,etc etc,,,, geez,,, to be - literally - available 24x7 is just not healthy,,,

Ok,,so the Microwave, and the MP3 player are extensions of our Modern life style,,, and folks so hooked to the Blackberry that they are constantly "in touch"... A voice heard in an otherwise empty Men's room at 4:30 in the morning , until I realize that the guy in the Stall is on his GD Cell Phone,,, ok so #1 Mark rule,,, If I call and you are in the can,,,,, Let Voice mail pick it up !!

Barack Omama says he for change,,,, hummm so,,, How about goin back to simpler days,,, Getting our news from the NEWS Paper, or the Huntly-Brinkly report on the 6 O'clock news,,, Instant Messaging was when you ACTUALLY talked to your neighbor,, Milk you could get from the Machine on the corner for a Quarter a Quart,,, We watched Red Skelton, and Ed Sullivan,,, Ok,, Maybe too nostalgic,, but you get the idea ,,, not all these things that are meant to make our lives better are actually BETTER,,, There is no conclusion here,,, and we can't get into Doc Brown's Delorian, and go Back in time,,,,, Just maybe - Keep those thoughts of yesterday in mind,,, and Give me a break with all this Technology that I love so much,,,,



and if that's not enough for ya,,, I "borrowed" this list of Future inventions ...

It's JOAN !!!





It's the Congressman from New York - John Hall & hummm who's that guy on the Banjo ???

SOCK it to ME !!!

President President Richard Nixon spoke that Phrase on the TV Show Laugh-in and that was the John Carpenter's answer as the 1st Million dollar winner on the "Who want to be a Millionaire" show... The video of the last part of his million dollar run is attached, and the Best part of him using his phone a friend to call his father ,, not for his help,, but to tell him he was going to with the Million could not have been scripted better,,,,



Socks,,,,, in the many miles that I am traveling along the roads these days .. One Can't help but notice the lost (I Guess) SOCKS !! What is with this phenomenon?? and never - and I mean NEVER - are there 2 socks,,, just one,,, In the say 10 or so miles of roads around my home,,, there are a dozen or more SOCKS !! no other clothing ,,,, no shirts, no pants, no underwear.,, ONE hat - but that's it,,, how do the socks get there,,, were they running away from home??? did hey just out of the dryer, & decide "No Way I am going back to that Sock Drawer "


I just don't get it,..... and I have no conclusion for this argument,,, I'm just sayin,,, not for nothing,,,,,

My weren't there a Lot of Skunks in here ??

I have posted this Cartoon, as I search for others,,,, this takes me back to days (really nights) at "THE CHANCE" a saloon in the City of Poughkeepsie,,, the Last Chance Banjo Band played there every Friday and Saturday night,,,, the place was always packed,,, they served Popcorn and the best Dark beer in the world !!! so before & at "intermission" they would show cartoons , and WC Fields, and Charlie Chase movies.

This Cartoon is one of My all time FAVS,,,,,, Many laughs,,,,,

One of the the Lines was updated --- when Sam enters the Saloon,,, he used to say " and I don't mean Mahatma Ghandi" - now it Mamby Pamby,,,,, anyway

the whole "you're a gittin outta Town,,, oh no I ain't and oh yes you are" still gets me,,,,so Enjoy,,,, More later

What did you do Ray ???

Gozer's voice says "CHOOSE" !!! (SPENGLER) I think he's saying that since we're about to be sacrificed anyway, we get to choose the form we want him to take.(STANTZ) You mean if I stand here and think of J Edgar Hoover,,, J Edgar Hoover will appears and destroy us ?? THE CHOICE IS MADE - The TRAVELER has COME !! and with that Ray chose the StayPuft Marshmallow Man,,,,,

Not all choices in life are as critically important as a Life or Death decision on what form our end , and the end of the world will take...............



However - Making decisions,,, Choices - is what we as humans do,,,, Paper or Plastic ?? Shaken or Stirred??? Fries with that?? Sprinkles on that Cone sir ??
How would you like that cooked?

The Grail Knight says “he chose… poorly”. Donovan choose an ornate cup as the Holy Grail to drink from and dies, rather graphically. The knight’s polite, understated response is a great punchline to the gruesome death.




Decisions made in our youth echo long into tour adult lives sometimes,,,, Drinkin and drivin,,, Smoking , Partying,,, and those we choose to be our life partners,, (Soul Mates - HA !) Is that Guy or Gal that looks like they have limited options at 18 or 21 grow up to be Bill Gates?? or Oprah ??? Well maybe not that but,,,,, Sometimes the Frog is a Prince,,, or Princess,,, you just need to let them grow into the role, and that person or persons that has the faith in you deserves the Long View............. they / we need to reap the rewards,,, the Hot Dog, & pineapple dinner is replaced with reservations at the Chrystal Palace, and the Legacy's take the place of Pintos.. and not that all things material are the End game,,, as they are Not !! Just a measure of "success" that everyone understands....



There is no Garminn to guide us, and show us what the Trip looks like IF a certain route is taken and certainly no way to see the End - or even how it ends,,,, So,,, take a very close look at life around you Choose wisely,,, Look at both the short term gain, and the Long term Potential . That damn "P" word has gotten many a person ... Bestow the appropriate award/reward/payback/Love on those who supported you.. "CHOSE you " when others - for their own reasons took the shorter view, the presumed easier path,,,

Sunday Bitch - Weather Channel

Greeting,,,and apologies to ALL Constant readers of the Celery Consciousness,,, (I know it's just me) - So after abandoning the Blog for so long , I have an Idea to restart my thinking,,, "THE SUNDAY BITCH" - Leno - back in the day - when he was a guest on the Letterman show,, he would do a bit of what's your beef Jay? So, I will attempt to come up a Bitch per week to at the very least keep the BLOG going,,,

SO,, a short bitch session today,,,,, what with all the overage on the Weather channel on Gustav - stupid name for a Hurricane - why do they they need the fancy graphics, and Music , and they send those Weather channel folks into the worse situations,,,, everyone else is pulling out and these poor bastards are setting up shop,,, and having to stand outside the wind and the rain to get the best shot,,, like we do not know what rain looks like,,, I wonder - if their advertising rates go up during disasters !!!???
