WITH A HOODRAT NAME LIKE "SHARKEISHA", YOU BET YOUR ASS I HAD FUN WITH THAT ONE!!

And the name doesn't just end there:  

"Sharkeisha Tyesha Thompson".  Last and middle name is fine, it's the FIRST name that killed me.  Is her father Sharkleberry Fin, the Kool-Aid Man's sharp-toothed pink buddy?

Thanks to WorldStar for introducing me to this ridiculous first name to begin with, and I had the damn Jaws theme stuck in my head for the rest of the day.  

So I hads to do SOMETHING about all that nonsense going on.......


A VERY, VERY DISTURBING AND ***BEYOND*** CREEPY VINTAGE XMAS SPECIAL

MAYBE my generation of 80's kids were spoiled.  We had a few awesome and colorful holiday specials, just like the Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown generation had theirs.  

I remember watching and LOVING Christmas Comes To Pac-Land around 1983-84, just because it was Pac-Man, and I'd already been watching that Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon, usually around the same time I'd catch Saturday Supercade (with Q*Bert, Donkey Kong, DK Junior, Kangaroo and other video game based animated shorts.  For the holidays, we also had the mostly-meh-whatevah Garfield's Christmas special (not as good as Garfield's Halloween Adventure).  Even the damn SMURFS had a Xmas special in the early 80's (also by Hanna-Barbera)!


I don't know how well those 80's holiday specials would hold up with today's narcissistic and overall lame kids (NOT ALL, but a lot more than half of them, IMO).  I will say none of the 80's Xmas specials mentioned above left me terrified if not totally traumatized.

However, let's go back a few decades, maybe 40-50.  The stuff what's called "VINTAGE Christmas" today, like THIS piece of terrifyingly hideous puppetry wouldn't have me dreaming about no damn sugar plums and all that crap.  Just LOOK at those ugly things!  No wonder that generation was/still is so fucked up, look what they were watching, enjoying and calling "Xmas" WAAAY back when.

It's a good thing I didn't watch this skurry sheeit STONED or I'D might have gotten traumatized, too!  I already want to burn up that entire set, puppets and all!

A VERY, VERY DISTURBING AND ***BEYOND*** CREEPY VINTAGE XMAS SPECIAL

I don't know the actual title of this, nor do I want to know.  It was on one of my $1 budgie DVD's with ancient public domain crap.


One final comment about all THIS disturbing so-called "Xmas" crap above!:

T-GIVING (FRIDAY) PART II: BLACK FRIDAY TASER ACTION + COOL BELATED B-DAY GIFTS + THE SIX BANTHA'S AKA OVERGROWN GREAT PYRENEES

First of all, thanks to friends Bob and Terri from Terrell, TX for hosting yesterday's (Friday's) T-Giving.  Best part, the only leftovers was half a strawberry-rhubarb pie.  If I want more dressing, I'll just make some fresh - I don't care too much for it zapped in the microwave!

SPEAKING of "ZAPPED" - have you seen THIS sheeit YET?  Good thing I don't do Black Friday sales,  but I DO love me some chaotic taser action.  



Look at all that FUN me and The Peace Maker missed out on yesterday!


************************************

Also thanks to Bob and Terri for these cool belated B-Day gifts!  I WAS on the fence about fucking with a Xmas tree this year, but these four kinda swayed my opinion.  I have other Star Wars Hallmark ornaments from previous years too.  Thanks again!




***********************************

As always, these six heathen Bantha's went apeshit as soon as I arrived, and continued for 30 minutes.  It's been over 3 months, so I get twice the mauling.  

In order of age (the oldest about 10 years): Mollie, Pennie, Bonnie, Callie, Annie and Jannie (they have that "ie" thing going on there LOL).  I've known the first four since they were puppies and especially helped raise the oldest three (Mollie, Pennie, Bonnie).  All of them are adopted Pyrenees rescues.

When they lived just like five houses down, for years, I often brought Bonnie a new toy and when I'd show up the next time, she'd parade around in front of me with the toy in her mouth, totally de-stuffed.  When I arrived yesterday, she ran up to me with a toy in her mouth, like saying "I didn't forget!!".

They're smart baby Bantha's - and like my kitties, also NEEDY!!  Can we say "bottomless pit of 'lovemelovemelovemeloveme"?!?

T-GIVING (FRIDAY) PART I: DRESSING, STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE, PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Here, we had our T-Giving on Friday and I was up all night baking the pie, cornbread for dressing and all that last-minute stuff.  

It was a 1 1/2ish hour drive there and my SIX Great Pyrenees friends hadn't seen me in about 3 months and were beyond excited, jumping, hopping, screaming, barking and howling as soon as I walked in.  Pictures I'd taken of "The Bantha's" as I call them in another post soon.

These were my contributions yesterday - in the past, I've handled a 10+ person T-Giving my own self, being the most competent cook of the bunch! LOL  ;)






THE WAITRESSES FEATURING PATTY DONAHUE: 3 LIVE CUTS/KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR [1982]

Three numbers from a kinda-rare live show from 1982 by The Waitresses, featuring the late Patty Donahue on lead vocal.

Interesting trivia:  Without his knowledge, Chris Butler, the guitarist/songwriter of The Waitresses, had purchased the boyhood home of none other than Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer.  The one where he accidentally killed then later dismembered his first victim, Steven Hicks, in the crawlspace in the summer of 1978.  Investigators sprayed luminol in that crawlspace during the investigation in 1991, and sure enough blood was present - and lots of it.

He's reportedly since put that house back on the market, didn't want it LOL

"BUT I WONDER IF YOU EVER GIVE ME A THOUGHT TOO - I REALLY HOPE YOU DO"



BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD IN THERAPY

LMAO My general practitioner last week gave me a couple numbers to local so-called "reputable" therapists, and the first thing that came to mind was that Beavis & Butt-Head episode "Close Encounters".


No thanks.  I've made it to my mid 30's and have never been to any therapy, much less that hilarious "group therapy", where I'd just stand there with my arms crossed like Dee Thomas from What's Happening until it's time to get the hell outta there.  And nobody knows myself better than me -always has been that way, always will.  

The Dark Side is STRONG in THIS one, don't fuck with Pandora's Box, Mister.  

You don't know whatchu gonna GET!

LATEST STAR WARS HAULS @ DFW FIVE BELOW STORES

My first couple of Star Wars (Vintage Collection, Clone Wars/Movie Heroes) hauls of 2011-2012 figures from Five Below weren't at all that impressive - but my finds between mid October and about a week ago surprisingly was MOST impressive. 

Dallas/Fort Worth recently got several new Five Below stores, and the first few 5B stores ever in the state of TX.  I think it was more a northern thing at first, but like Dollar Tree, new stores have been opening all over the country.

Now if only we could get a damn WHITE CASTLE here in TX!!!

Here's a video I'd just filmed of the haul a couple hours ago, along with some pictures.

I'll let Scherrie Payne, Mary Wilson and Susaye Greene do the talking while their hearts do the walking.......

And I'm a poet and don't know it - should have been a radio DJ in the mid 70's!



R.I.P. Don Cornelius.  Thanks for Shalamar and Soul Train!  Now don't send your ghost after me for encoding and posting this!  ;)  Please.



*ANOTHER* REASON WHY I'M PRO-"GIVING-THE-SHOCK-OF-YOUR-LIFE"

Had somebody present there while this little crackhead was on the warpath had a taser handy, it would have non-lethally brought this bald-headed, chicken-clucking/barking crackhead bitch to her knees and quickly ended all that car-kicking bullshit.

No man would have gotten rage-slapped and that woman wouldn't have gotten her WEAVE pulled.

And the tweeking bitch wouldn't have gotten her bald little ass whooped by that mama AND her little girl! LOL!!!

THIS is why I'm a proud, card-carrying zapper enthusiast - for these out-of-control crackies, for any little punk wanting to play that "knockout game", or anyone in general, whoever crosses my path wrongly - entertainment for me.

SIDE NOTE:

Maybe it was the heroin boosting George, but I liked this particular concert performance even better than the live shows from 1983 and 1984 that have been released on DVD/VHS, when they were having one hit single after another.  George has more energy, doesn't run out of breath a lot as he used to do (another thing to consider is THIS stage costume is way less heavier, shorter hair and weighed less at that point).

I also liked their final 80's LP From Luxury To Heartache the best.  Only one really big hit single from that album ("Move Away") in 1986.  I had it on cassette back in the day and since it was skipped when their first 3 LP's WERE remastered/reissued a few years ago, I had to get the CD as a Germany import.  Still was worth it, even better IMO than their commercially successful Colour By Numbers from 1983.  George's lyrics were more introspective on the final album of their heyday.
