  • A Scoundrel Television Personality From Shelby Township, Michigan

    January 24th, 2016

    In this day in age of nonsensical television, mostly on cable and satellite; there is this bizarre television personality from Clinton Township, Michigan whose name is Jason “Jax” Taylor who was born in 1979, should have his tattoos removed, should be required to wear a fat suit, should be required to have his hair cut differently; and should have to face the wraith of me being old-fashioned.

    This man from Clinton Township, Michigan does not have any moral values.

    Jax Taylor has also been into icky, yucky Hockey; which doesn’t score any points on my part.

    Clint Bowyer is one of the few people from the generation that was born during, and after 1979 that has any moral values.

    Jax Taylor would have to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music with me; and a social event with myself, Ray, Jan Pol, Rick Steves, Shari Lewis; and Bonnie Erbe would be torture for Jax Taylor. But, I don’t care if this type of social event would be torture for Jax Taylor.

    Maybe, perhaps; I could torture Jax Taylor even more by taking him to a radio or terrestrial television transmitter site.

  • Two Polynesian Actors

    January 24th, 2016

    There are two Polynesian actors who should have their tattoos, be required to wear fat suits,wigs over their shaved heads; and also shouldn’t be allowed to dress to the nines.

    These actors are Dwayne Johnson and Kaleti Williams.

  • Western Travellers in the Islamic World Online – BrillOnline Primary Sources

    January 24th, 2016

    This is a journal from the 1600’s written by European explorers to the Islamic world. To the Middle East, and to what was later the Soviet Central Asian countries-Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan; and Turkmenistan. And almost Afghanistan had the Russians/Soviets been able to fully seize control of the country.

    As you may be aware if you’ve been following this blog, it’s things like this that turn me on.

    It’s also things like this that interest our friend Dennis, Shannon’s husband Ray; and Jan Pol.

  • The Evil Donald Trump

    January 23rd, 2016

    I do not think that the evil Donald Trump is in any way, shape, or form qualified to be President Of The United States. Or in other words, the Commander In Chief; as is the other title for the President Of The United States.

    How can an imbecilic businessman even possibly even consider himself qualified to be President Of The United States? And how could so many idiot American citizens possibly want to vote for this imbecilic businessman? Maybe, perhaps; the same idiot American citizens who had voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections.

    Some people compare to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, and his government mirroring Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy; and I do have to agree with them.

    It is very morbid that the evil Donald Trump would even utilize woeful little girls as his propaganda girls similar to how Hitler had utilized teenaged girls and young women as his propaganda girls.

    Little do most people know that the evil Donald Trump is of Scandinavian descent. Nothing against someone being of Scandinavian descent, but one must wonder how could somebody whose ancestors had left the land of the fjords to settle in the United States go on to become the brashest businessman and politician in the United States.

    The evil Donald Trump can also be compared to the equally evil Leona Helmsley.

    Let’s hope that there aren’t any NASCAR drivers who support the evil Donald Trump for President Of The United States

    Sadly, the evil Donald Trump is being chauffeured around in a limousine converted out of a Cadillac-branded GM B-platform car. Donald Trump was never the right type of person to have possession of a GM B-platform car. And nor is Donald Trump the right type of person to have possession of a Lincoln Town Car. A K-car limousine created by the Evil Iacocca would have been the right car for the evil Donald Trump to be chauffeured around in.

    It is indeed very saddening seeing these vehicles being destroyed in this demolition derby.

    Especially vehicles marketed like this:

  • The Palin Lady

    January 22nd, 2016

    I think the Palin lady has always been an imbecilic politician. Whether she’s the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska; the Governor for the State of Alaska; the running mate of John McCain, and maybe, perhaps; the running mate of the evil Donald Trump.

    The Palin lady has always been a stereotypical politician affiliated Republican party. Just like how the Republican party fits the evil Donald Trump like a glove.

    Nevertheless, yours truly is a Democrat. And my paternal grandmother, Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann, Whit; and all 5 of Mary Ann’s children were and are Democrats. Although, Mary Ann and Whit were liberal Republicans like John McCain before they became Democrats.

    It is a monstrosity that the Pail lady is a beauty queen turned television journalist turned politician.

    Not to mention that the Palin lady is a remonstrant person in the truest sense.

    If the Palin lady was ever transported on any School Bus that I personally own, I’d sternly tell her “sit down, princess”.

    In “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”, we pretend that the Palin lady never became a politician; and she forevermore remained a television journalist. As WJBK-TV forevermore remains a CBS affiliate and owned by Storer Broadcasting, and WXYZ-TV forevermore remains an ABC owned & operated station, WDIV-TV, after it was purchased by Post-Newsweek from the Detroit News, remains the only progressive local news in the Detroit Market. WIVB-TV also remains the only progressive news outlet in Buffalo after it was purchased by Robert Howard from the Buffalo Evening News/Berkshire Hathaway. The Palin lady takes a job as a news anchor at WDIV-TV, transferring from KTUU-TV in Anchorage, moving to the Detroit area; and becoming one of the highest paid news anchors in Detroit broadcasting history, joining the ranks of Jac LeGoff and the like. The Palin lady also considers taking a similar position at WIVB-TV in Buffalo, New York, and would have gone on to becoming one of the highest paid news anchors in Buffalo Broadcasting history, but accepts the position at WDIV-TV in Detroit instead.

    WDIV-TV would fit the Palin lady like a glove, as would also WIVB-TV; and Michigan winters would be no problem for the Palin lady, coming from Alaska; as would also Buffalo’s winters and the common lake-effect snow in Buffalo.

    The best part of all of this is that the Palin lady would be surpassed in the ratings by Bill Bonds, Diana Lewis, Guy Gordon, Doris Biscoe, and Dayna Eubanks at WXYZ-TV; and also by Storer-owned and CBS-affiliated WJBK-TV.

    Yes, WDIV-TV forevermore remains a distant third in the ratings behind WXYZ-TV and WJBK-TV; and the Palin lady would only add fuel to the fire of WDIV-TV remaining a distant third in the ratings.

    Video of the famous Saturday Night Live skit where Tina Fey portrays the Palin lady and Amy Poehler portrays Hillary Clinton. The Palin lady had undoubtedly deserved to be portrayed by Tina Fey.

    Video of the Palin lady competing in the 1984 Miss Alaska beauty pageant:

  • How Rick Steves Continues To Look In “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”

    January 20th, 2016

    The picture below is how Rick Steves continues to look in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”.

    He continues to wear the glasses that he had wore in the picture below. My father also used to wear this style of glasses, and although trivial; this, along with Rick sharing my father’s type of mentality; are a couple of the many things that we have in common.

    Rick can also be as humourous as my mother, such as laughing the night away and having the “hee-hees” just like how my mother could. Rick would indeed get carried away about something with my mother and them two would have the “hee-hees” together.

  • Television Personality And Barn Constructor Mark Bowe

    January 19th, 2016

    If I had magical powers, I’d also transform television personality and barn contractor Mark Bowe from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.

    Mark Bowe should also comprehend that School Buses are more important than sports.

    Mark Bowe would also have to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music with me.

    January 18th, 2016

    A haircut-related website that I’ve visited regularly since the late 1990’s has written a review about an old Barbershop in a derelict neighborhood in Akron, Ohio.

    This barbershop, being a ‘neighborhood’ barbershop in a tiny building about the same amount of square footage as an ice cream stand; is located almost adjacent to the ‘mixing bowl’ of the Ohio Turnpike in Akron.

    Not that I ever visit this barbershop, but it is thought-provoking driving my pickup truck pulling my Fifth-Wheel trailer through this ‘mixing bowl’ in Akron, Ohio, looking at this being one of many derelict inner-cities that I drive through during my travels.

    That barbershop stands like a sorry woe in front of all the vehicles traversing through the ‘mixing bowl’ in this section of the Ohio Turnpike.

  • Public Surplus: Auction #1526806

    January 16th, 2016

    As I have stated in other posts, I’m not interested in conventional style School Buses on the Freightliner chassis & cowl, but I’m writing this post because I find it funny that this school district states “PROPER EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED FOR REMOVAL OF ALL ITEMS, I.E. TRUCKS, TRAILERS, VANS, NOT VW’S OR FIATS”.

    A Volkswagen and a Fiat are 2 makes of car that I wouldn’t mind driving as much as I wouldn’t mind driving a School Bus.

  • More Regarding The Book That I’ve Written About If I Was Born At An Earlier Time

    January 16th, 2016

    At some point in 1992, I drive from my house in the area of Lakeville, Michigan; Leonard Township, Michigan; Addison Township, Michigan; and Dryden, Michigan to visit my paternal grandmother in the hospital at the Beaumont Hospital location in Troy, Michigan.

    https://www.google.com/maps/place/Beaumont+Hospital+%E2%80%93+Troy/@42.6161219,-83.0918212,16z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8824c2d83f486891:0x193d3df07dedd197

    I purchase a Fuji disposable camera from either a Meijer grocery store or an Arbor drug store to take pictures throughout the interior of the hospital on many floors (not of the operating room, but of hallways and of waiting rooms) so that I can remain lower profile than if I brought my Canon camera with me.

    A day later, I have the disposable camera developed by the way of the 1-hour photo development at either a Meijer grocery store or an Arbor drug store.

    I also purchase a Kodak disposable camera that takes panoramic photos for future use.

    N°554 Kodak FunSaver Panoramic 35 (1991)

    N°549 Kodak FunSaver TeleFoto 35  (1992)

    I put gasoline in my Oldsmobile-branded GM B-platform station wagon, filling it up; in the Marathon gas station located nearby off of SR-59.

  • More Bad Dreams And Nightmares About NASCAR Drivers

    January 14th, 2016

    Recently, I’ve experienced more bad dreams and nightmares about NASCAR drivers in my sleep.

    I’ve had nightmares about how athletic and fit most of them are, being involved in sports, dressing to the nines (including during the NASCAR banquet); and possibly going to church.

    I’ve also had nightmares about some of them playing Golf in their spare time.

    Including Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and his son Ross; Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Michael Annett; and Josh Wise.

    I’ve also had nightmares about almost all current NASCAR drivers having began (let’s continue calling it the Winston Cup) careers as either single and childless or married and childless and starting families throughout the course of their careers.

    At least Tony Stewart remains single and childless. And I like it that way.

    Aside from the fact that I do not like changes in families (such as when somebody gets married, gains in-laws; and has children), I also don’t like Clint Bowyer getting married and starting a family and Greg Biffle and his wife having a child because I’m concerned that their new marriages and families will dilute their personalities as car guys and their overall interest in vehicles.

    These bad dreams and nightmares have helped keep me aware during the night and have prevented me from getting any sleep.

    Only if NASCAR forevermore remained the same as it did during the 1970’s, 1980’s; and 1990’s.
