Trench’s Week in Review

CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — Trench @ 1:08 pm

Yea verily the lord did speak and said the new Heaven and Hell (Dio-era Black Sabbath) album will be released on April 28th. All hail his name.

I’m sure by now we’ve all heard of the plane crash in Buffalo. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say we send our prayers and thoughts to the victim’s of the families.

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the shootings at Northern Illinois University. Parents are seeking answers but unfortunately sometimes there are none.

Brett Farvre retired again. Somewhere Chad Pennington is laughing.

Students at this school in Colorado want to rename the school after President Obama. Not because of anything he’s done, just for the fact that he’s the first black president.

A special court has ruled that there is no evidence to show that childhood vaccines cause autism. Now maybe the Luddites will get their kids vaccinated.

A man had a delivery for President Obama that turned out to be a rifle.

8 have been arrested in the Michael Phelps gurgling water horn scandal. Doesn’t that match the number of his gold medals?

As far as Fucktards of the week go…

There’s Amber Carter, the school teacher/hooker from Ohio.

Nadya Suleman, the woman with a clown car for a vagina. She’s now cyber-begging since the endorsement deals haven’t come calling.

A-Roid.

Bishop Richard Williamson. Catholic priest, Holocaust denier.

That’s all I got.

Filling in for Florida Bill, I’m Trench Reynolds. Courage.

Stupid Things We Have Done

CATAGORIES: GENERAL NONSENSE — ZappaCrappa @ 11:01 am

Yarbz posting of his picture of his and his brother’s home made racer got me to thinking about all the stupid and dangerous stuff we did as kids…you know…when we were immortal. What did you do in your youth that was completely idiotic and a blast?

I have a few things that come to mind.

I grew up in the country with lots of farms, fields, woods, and barns. One thing a neighbor and myself would do is find tall, young trees and climb them until they bent completely over. One of us would then drop off and the other would hang on as the 20-30 foot tree would swing wildly back and forth to an upright position….had to hang on for dear life!

The most dangerous thing I thing I ever did was this. Another neighbor had a barn. One day we were screwing around in the loft and discovered that by making steps with the hay bales, we could get to the rafters. Once there, we discovered a large metal eye hook at the top of the barn. Upon further investigation, we realized that it was in direct line with an identical eye hook over the door. We then tied a thick rope and attached a pulley we had found and attached a rope loop. We then took turns standing in the upper most reaches of the barn on our hay bale steps and did our own “slide for life” to the bottom. we must have been 40-50 feet up when we started. After several trips, I was going down and 3/4 of the way down (about 10-12 feet off the ground) the board and eye hook let go and the whole works came at me and smacked me right between the eyes. My next memory is opening my eyes and seeing my buddy kneeling over me, shaking me and saying my name over and over in a VERY panicked voice. I’m probably lucky I’m not missing an eye or in a wheelchair from that one. Shhhh…don’t tell my mom. I have M-80 stories too….LOL.

What about you guys?

YARBZ NEGATIVE ARCHIVE: THIS IS ONE GREAT PHOTO:

Comments from my Father: “The great photo you sent was me with a long time friend and brother Marine, Colonel John M. Terry, USMC(ret). John is living in Orlando. FL, and we maintain contact via email, usually several times a week. John and I are both from Dallas, TX, and we both went to SMU, although I did not know him then. I met John when we were Captains, in the late 50′s, when he was I&I of the 15th Rifle Co. in Seal Beach, CA and I was Commanding Officer. John fought in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, where he was CO of a Marine Infantry Bn. I am attaching a photo he sent me while serving in VN. After he left Seal Beach, he was an advisory officer to Chaing Kai-shek and the Chinese National Forces onTaiwan. The photo you sent was shortly after John returned from Viet Nam, and he spent his first leave with us at our home in San Clemente. I could clearly see him wind down from a highly agitated state to a more calm, relaxed one while he was with us. A fine Marine, should have made General.”

Letter to God, From the Dog.

CATAGORIES: BONERS,COMMENTARY,GENERAL NONSENSE,HUMOR — CinLin @ 2:02 pm

Dear God: Is it on purpose our names are the same, only reversed?

DearGod: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?

DearGod: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a Dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? Would it be so hard to rename the ‘Chrysler Eagle’ the ‘Chrysler Beagle’?

Dear God: If a Dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad Dog?

Dear God: We Dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID’s, electromagnetic energy fields, and? Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

YARBZ NEGATIVE ARCHIVE: 1970 GRAND PRIX, TODD RUNDGREN AND HARD DRIVING:

CATAGORIES: 126 CARTRIDGE FILM,History,PHOTOGRAPHY,SCANNED FILM,YARBZ LIFE PICTURE DIARY,YARBZ NEGATIVE/POSITIVE ARCHIVE — Yarbz @ 10:22 am

This is me with my parents 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix in our yard in Simsbury, CT. My dad bought this car used and I was the only driver for the most part. It came with an 8-Track under the drivers seat and one tape, Todd Rundgren… I forgot which one it was. Anyway, I played that tape until it wore out. My dad bought a new set of tires from the Arco gas station where I worked and they were worn out in less than 9000 miles… The car had a 400 cubic inch V-8 with a 4-barrel carburetor. I drove the car hard I guess… I don’t know why I am dressed up in this picture. (Scanned from the original 126 negative February 10, 2009)
