Of "77 Sunset Strip," ABC-TV hit
from 1958-1964. Cooool!
I do not “Tweet” and I do not “Facebook.” Most of the stuff on those sites are boring to
me; especially Twitter. Reading 140
characters about Kim’s unhappiness with the public for not liking her latest gown
or that Miley has increased her slut personality after years as a cute kid on
Disney, does not interest me. Do you
care what Dennis Rodman has to say? Me
either. However, this Tweet from some
guy in Phoenix during the recent arctic temperatures around the country is
pretty good: “I’m a little chilly here in AZ today…oh, wait, no I’m not. Sorry, rest of America!”……..Money can’t
buy you brains department: J. R. Smith,
who plays for the N. Y. Knicks in the NBA, was recently fined $50,000 for
“unsportsmanlike conduct” because he continuously likes to untie opponent’s
shoestrings during free throw attempts.
It’s another example of how some sports stars have plenty of money but
no class or brains……..Steven Seagal for Arizona Governor? He says he has an interest but I don’t see it
happening……..This had to happen I guess:
There is a possibility that charges may be incurred for items brought up
on the internet. It is compared to cable
companies charging for premium programming like HBO and could affect your viewing of popular YouTubes and other items.
So, you know that great YouTube video of Black Sabbath you watch
regularly on your computer? It may cost to watch it in the future.
Stay tuned……..Is John McCain losing his mind? Of course he is; he is looking for
contributions to his campaign for 2016.
Maybe he can get some Democrat votes but the Republicans in AZ have
basically told him where he can stuff his aspirations. Are you listening, Jeff Flake?........In my
Air Force and college days in the 60’s I loved to drink beer. I was a Falstaff and Schlitz man for many
years until they disappeared. Hamm’s was
big in Missouri as Della Reese sang about the glory of it being “from the land
of sky blue waters.” Has anyone seen a
bottle of Hamm’s lately? I didn’t think
so although I hear that Miller brews it now.
Budweiser is owned by a Belgian company and my treat of a six pack of
Rolling Rock on a 1960’s Friday night disappeared when I heard it is now brewed
in Newark, New Jersey instead of the home of Arnold Palmer, Latrobe,
Pennsylvania. Newark? Please!
Thomas Wolfe was right: “You
can’t go home again.”……..It hurts my ears to hear the way a lot of people try
to use terminology from the days of my generation; especially the use of the
word “cool.” Unless you remember the
late 50’s or early 60’s, forget about that sacred word. I hear people use a clipped version all the
time as if they are trying to remember it from a dream where they spent an
evening in 1959 at Dino’s Lodge on the Sunset Strip with Edd “Kookie” Byrnes
but can’t quite pull it off. “Cool” had
to be pronounced “Coooooool” to savor the true meaning of the word. It could also be added to something that was
REALLY cool by adding “sville” to the end as in “That ’57 T-bird is strictly
“coooolsville” especially when driven by that cooool blond from Santa Monica.” Keep practicing that and someday you
may actually be cooool………Will there
be more grammar lessons on my next blog?
Maybe, so don’t get over confident………Closing thought: Do you remember the pop hit "Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb!"? Do you remember who recorded it?........ Adios for now. JM

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 256 of 256I remember the vey first game between the Packers and the Chiefs. I wasn't called the Super Bowl. It was held in L.A. and the tickets were $10 but the game did not sell out. My have times changed.
Middy, we still have the Green Screen and I originally wanted to do the "Stoners on Mars" and we needed to film a Ford Pinto suspended from a crane.
But The Scottsdale Hillbillies does sound good. Got any script ideas? Location? I can write the legal paperwork and we can get it started. We'll need funding.
We'll need to get Granny busted for DUI or something. It's cheap publicity and everyone's doing it.
Hey Middy, Jimmy. I got a new house guest since Jen is moving. This new girl is prettier and she cooks really well. Has a thing about not liking clothes. It's the strangest disorder that I've witnessed.
Nothing makes a home like a good cook..
What say Jim?- sounded like you stubbed your toe or something.
what, you don't think he could pull it off?
..the guy's a success what ever he tries- pure gold- got the Midas touch.
I don't know what happened to Jim. I think he must have had trouble with his keyboard. Tripped over the Qwerty.
PHOENIX — .."The Arizona Republican Party formally censured Sen. John McCain on Saturday, citing a voting record they say is insufficiently conservative.
The resolution to censure McCain was approved by a voice-vote during a meeting of state committee members in Tempe, state party spokesman Tim Sifert said. It needed signatures from at least 20 percent of state committee members to reach the floor for debate"..
I guess even these limp wristers have had enough of old Lumpy's horseshit.
The voters in this state make me wonder.
What is insufficient conservatism? What defines being a conservative? And what do they exactly conserve?
Is there such a thing as 'insufficient liberalism'? And what defines a liberal? And what do they exactly lib?
You actually have a point, what is insufficient conservatism?..
I guess it's just another arbitrary description they pull out of the hat, pretty much like .08 ba makes you a drunk driver but .07 means you are ok.
Anyone voting for this traitor to represent our intersts in the past twenty years should be immediately put under professional observation; they are the one's that lost their mind and it's they who are the ones that are insufficiently conservative.
Evidently there is a real shortage of mirrors in this state.
I completely agree. Anyone who is making money from the stock market and yet complaining about the Fed's interference and Obama can't be all there.
It does explain the "jobless recovery."
Did I mention that I'm writing the legal paperwork for a nonprofit film company? Yep. "Mutual Benefit" nonprofit meaning we make money while people donate money to us to make films. We have to file taxes, but the donations are tax deductible.
See ... I am learning from y'all. One day, maybe I'll get Congress to declare war on a small country so I can make a profit, then I'll really be normal.
What's wrong, Jimmy. Are you afraid that I'll start bitching about your behavior? Would it do any good?
Jimmy, do you really think that Hillary has a snowball chance in hell of winning in 2016? Who's the GOP's choice? How about that guy from Canada! You know, the Canadian senator who stood for hours talking about stuff that no one can remember! Let's get him!
It's 59 degrees right now! Beautiful outside!
Tonight, snow and 7 degrees.
Tomorrow, 18.
This is clearly Obama's fault.
I suspect the reason McCain keeps getting reelected is because he gets a lot of Independent and Democrat votes. I quit voting for him years.
I'm tired of Republicans like McCain, Graham, Collins etc. claiming to be conservatives yet side with the Democrats all the time.
Every time McCain comes on the Barry Young show I have to turn the channel. Can't stand to listen to him.
Speaking of the Barry Young show Michele hasn't been on for three weeks. Wonder if she got canned.
Betty Ford more likely.
Can't stand either of them- a couple of est.Rep. groupies if you ask me.
Markson is worse if that's possible, I like the early guy Jim Sharpe, but after that it gets tiresome.
With the internet I can listen to podcasts of Roger Hedgecock, he is a recovering politician in San Diego; the guy has one of the best shows on the West Coast- I used to listen to him before he was mayor on the am radio.
A "recovering politician." Politicians Anonymous.
We aren't here to judge. Embrace yourselves as your own higher power. Let's open with prayer.
"Our chairman who art in the party, muddied be thy name, forgive us each day our daily bribes, forgive us when we are caught, thy will be done in the world as in Washington, give us each day our annual budget without limits, lead us not unto the lobbyists, lead us into temptation and the intern under the desk, in the name of the chairman of the party, the chairman of the house and the Illuminati. Aye, whatever."
Sorry for not replying to you guys the last couple days. Will be back soon.
Middy, I e-mailed Andrew Babinski today about Michele and he replied that she is no longer on the show or employed by Kfyi.
I have to agree with you on Markson. He claims to be a big time conservative but he's not.
Jimmy, drop on by. Grab a guitar, I'm on bass. Let's jam.
I wonder sometimes how much actual traffic KFYI gets, a lot of the ads are government give away program ads that you and I get to pay for.
Crony Capitalism is alive and well on the conservative side of the aisle as well as the socialist side.
Like Merle said..everyone gets used to drinking Green Bubble Up and eatin' that Rainbow Stew.
..the only good bureaucrat is one with a gun to his head, put it in his hand and it's goodbye second amendment".. HL Mencken.
.."Did I mention that I'm writing the legal paperwork for a nonprofit film company? Yep. "Mutual Benefit" nonprofit meaning we make money while people donate money to us to make films. We have to file taxes, but the donations are tax deductible"..
No actually that's the first I had heard of it, you do realize that the IRS has "specific" rules for setting up a non profit organization and have to file for acceptance and all that red tape don't you?
Just having a pizza delivery/tax free organization/towing hat doesn't necessarily mean the feds take the same look on gray areas as you call them with the same cavalier attitude.
Just wondering how many State and Federal regulations have you ignored during your journey through life?
Get the mob's attention on one of these schemes and it's "punch it Louise" Enchanted Farm style.
Well it looks like up around Frostbite Falls area old man winter is still making his presence felt.
Al Gore must be having some GW event or something, every time these clowns show their head the roof caves in.
Gotta feel for the folks having to heat their houses in what can only be called an extreme winter.
Thanks Middy. I've had the mob's attention for years. Best not to discuss that. I developed that nuisance SN thing about after a couple stressful years, threats of violence, morphine, police corruption and it's dangerous. When they think you're alone and no one cares, that's when your enemies will come to kill you. Ever have cops laugh at you. When it's thought that you're weak, that's when the enemies come.
So it's tough to tell if they'll be heroin addicts, meth addicts, Nigerians, Ghanans, Russians, Chinese, some ethnic mob, hillbilly mobs, dirty cops, wannabes, Muslims ... they're out there and at any moment, I might have to defend myself.
Obama wrote today.
I really would like to move to some place that's nice and quiet, people smoke weed, no bullies, no thugs, no gangs, no one to upset me.
It is true that rules for a nonprofit are very strict, to be sure. And maybe I need to just let Jen keep the place and I need to focus on other matters. Alainya can run the studio and I've got things that I gotta do.
Middy, I went to a tea party today with the girls. Religion came up. Me and religion don't get along anymore. I believe in God, but spare me population control doctrine. I'm becoming Middy.
But seriously, if our company should ever become an interest to a politician, I'm gonna say this anonymous dude on Jim McAllister's blog (TM) taught me all I know. His name is anonymous.
.."Religion came up. Me and religion don't get along anymore. I believe in God, but spare me population control doctrine. I'm becoming Middy"..
..too much too soon Rick but you're starting to get the idea, now just work on delivery..
I hate to tell you but your stickhandling ability is not up to your view of the ice.
..take little steps; instead of attempting a colossal leap from the inane to the absurd in a single sentence- try to work in the setup before and then spike the ball- Drawing a mental picture of a dark and foreboding allegory such as the socially awkward and frankly distasteful mental image -(eg) " heroin addicts, meth addicts, Nigerians, Ghanans, Russians, Chinese, some ethnic mob, hillbilly mobs, dirty cops, wannabes, Muslims ... they're out there and at any moment, I might have to defend myself"..
conjures up is overkill and probably a little much for the refined audience in Scottsdale and the rest of the free world.
(actually Rick, by the mob I meant the IRS.)
Great game by the Coyotes tonight, they dominated the Kings at every aspect of the contest.
Good to see them playing well above their head again.
That's the beauty of a system like Tip has, it isn't dependent so much on individual talent as much as group support.
..turn around game of the season so far.
After reading the State of the Union address, and writing that rant, I thought that I'd better erase it.
Bypassing Congress.
It's like a nightmarish dream coming true.
Listening to the SOTU speech and looking around the country where we have a terminally stagnant economy,1 in 6 living in poverty, millions getting cut to part time because of Obamacare, record numbers flooding onto food stamps, millions getting their insurance canceled, even more finding that they are unable to afford the "Affordable" Care Act, $17 TRILLION in debt and needing to again raise the already skyrocketing debt limit, A fed that prints $85 billion funny money dollars every month to make it look like the nation is fiscally sound.....
Anyone honestly looking at our union would have to conclude:
WHOM EVER HAS BEEN IN CHARGE FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS OF OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY, REALLY SUCKS AT FIXING THINGS.
(Six years of making things worse reveals his finest(see only) talent is obviously the ability to blame everyone else for his f*ups)
Hope to be back in a couple days. I have been doing a couple columns for a local magazine and they have something that I am not used to: DEADLINES! However, the good news is that they are paying me.
Later,
JM
I love deadlines, Jimmy. Congratulations on the columns. People want to hear about the old happy times, assuming that's what you're doing. Watch out for Burnout.
What magazines, Jimmy?
Gardening season is quickly coming up. Gonna keep the publishing company, Jimmy. And the website. I figure to let Alainya and her husband run the business and maybe I'll go on a long trip.
Jimmy, do you remember the Martin/Zimmerman case? Remember how TV journalist Nancy Grace was saying how marijuana was harmless? Poor little Trayvon, he smoked a little weed and was harmless.
Fast forward to Obama's marijuana announcement and Nancy Grace rants that marijuana causes people to murder children.
Watch the video, Jimmy. Nancy Grace point/counterpoint with herself in this clever video.
http://www.upworthy.com/nancy-grace-loses-a-debate-against-herself?c=ufb1
Here's a little trick I learned Rick, turn off the sound and watch people like Nancy or Barrak- they start looking like some inmate at Belleview or some hallucinating moonbat in 36 hr. observation at the Keno facility in Tucson.
I know you don't want to believe in demonic possession but these people are in fact Satan's spokesmen- they unconscionably march to the cadence of the Father of Lies and their mannerisms prove it- of course those on the same team are merely confused with the seeming state of cognitive dissonance or end up agreeing with the lies if it offers advantage; better choose soon Rick, the game has it's ending point like all games do.
The sad truth?
We are a nation of dumb f*cks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWI58bgdVfw
It's over....
Well Proud, I watched that and to tell you the truth I am not surprised at all.
Yes there is a great reset coming our way soon.
forget photo ID to vote, how about a simple piss test- might as well piss out the entire Congress at the same time, anyone failing goes straight to the gallows, how's that for a scared straight program designed for tyrants?
Rick has been reading ahead, the past few days he thinks Obama is going to decriminalize marijuana and also finally do something about the income inequality at the same time.
Just ask yourself Rick why didn't Obama just do another executive order and take marijuana off the class I list of narcotics if he was serious?- he's just drumming up campaign donations from the usual suspects, Big Incarceration, Big Liquor and the rest that profit from maintaining a utterly useless war on (fill in the blank.)
No, it's because he fully intends to use the issue to further his control over your life bud (no pun intended.)
..and you can take that to the bank because it's about all you are going to get from Robert Mugabe II, more lies and a now certain attempt to purge this nation of Whites and Christians- look in the mirror Rick, there's a target on your back and you put it there.
You are right to be concerned, but of course the delusional, clueless pawns such as you always back the wrong horse in any race.
The Jerk actually did give anyone with a clue a heads up on his intentions with that MY IRA test balloon.
They just signaled to anyone paying attention that they intend to attach capital controls on the nation's savings and retirement accounts right down to your checking account and rob you just like they did the primary bond holders at GM.
The fractional reserve created fiat money leverage tipping point Ron Paul tried to warn us of has been exceeded well past the point to ever think this government could be funded with income alone.
..our debt coupon alone is more than the entire GDP.
So it's going to be sold to the usual idiots as the only way to make Social Security work now that the fund has been turned into a government inspired version of some voluntary contribution funded lunch money pool kept in the bottom drawer that mysteriously disappeared.
The end must be getting close, they know what a default means and now are moving in a direction to hopefully extend the carnage passed the election by kicking the can some more and you can expect more govt. mandated/orchestrated school shootings to finally convince the women to finally disarm us.
Once again the Republicans which represent the "tails" side of the Statist coin in this dog and pony show couldn't even remember or mention that none of them voted for Obamacare after the abomination's speech.
Once again they are being set up as the patsy fall guy, and by God.. they deserve it.
it's coming.
Middy, stupid Republicans don't need to be set up any more, like pin machines at a bowling alley they seem to automatically set themselves in front of what ever ball of shyt Democrats and the MSM want to roll their way...
On a lighter note, here's a Budweiser commercial from Sundays S/B.
While it has absolutely nothing to do with beer, it certainly does manage to put a smile in hearts and, come to think of it make people feel good when they see or hear Budweiser products....So upon further review,..... Maybe it does have lots to do with beer???

Pup meets Colt, boy meets girl.. fade to sunset..
works every time.
Just wait until the other "Bud" starts advertising once it becomes legal nation wide.
haha..
I think maybe people have taken me wrong about my views on women and the NFL, I have no problem with women on the sidelines as long as they hold pom-poms, stay very energetic, give us a lot of high kicks and show some cleavage..
Once the ads became a national phenom, the game itself became a cartoon.
Go Jaguars.
If I'm a target, you're a target too, Middy. Don't forget that. We must all be of some use in the NWO.
Marijuana just can't go from illegal to legal, after decades of demonizing it. And remember, it must be the choice of the People, remember?
Freedoms are taken by choice, not force.
It's possible that Obama will legalize weed by Presidential order. It's a fair assumption that he will raise the minimum wage to $10.10 by Presidential order.
And what's that gonna do to your stock market? Legalizing weed might take it to 18,000.
Actually the stawk market is doing it to itself right now, the Japanese market dropped like a stone and is chugging along at about a 3+ drop just from yesterday closing.
Fundamentals is so 1990 talk Rick, there hasn't been a market for five and counting, they have been chasing the QE dragon since early this decade and eventually the party has to end.
Obama is of no significance anymore Rick, this stuff is above his paygrade.
No one but the delusional is listening to his horseshit anyway, it's every man for themselves in Washington DC like it's never been in my lifetime.
Women and children first- first to be stepped on that is.
We have met our enemy, it is us.
Yep Middy, I believe we are watching the formation of a new kind of system.
I'm trying to put aside the creative thing. Let other people run it and I'll supervise. Write a bit. Film some. And get back into shape.
I marked the property lines today. Got some exercise. Did some scouting around. It's good discipline.
.." And get back into shape"..
That sort of makes it sound like you were ever in any kind of shape to begin with.
Keep in mind that front porch of yours wasn't a week end project.
But whatever, just as long as you don't start wearing spandex bike shorts or something equally disgusting like get all involved with Richard Simmons work out
VCR's.
..we maintain a certain level of community standards after all.
Middy, you spelled weekend as two words. You're on a smartphone.
I think I can fairly predict what's gonna happen this year, by the SOTU.
I advise readers not to pay international corporations and to use the money to build new businesses. Support America.
But guys, you're the ones that taught me how to succeed in business. Is business not like war?
And besides, why not use the greed of millionaires against them to make money? It's trendy. For whatever reason, Obama wrote. I think it's because I'm nice.
And when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. It might be really crappy lemonade, but you do the best you can with what you got.
It's what y'all taught me.
To quote, Jimmy ...
Coooooool
Hey, my daughter just told me that her boyfriend's buying a new boat. What a nice guy. He wants to take me fishing! That guy's a keeper! I need a new compact tractor with a rototiller. Then I can grow the veges and Tosha can get us fish. She's got a nice farm in the forest.
Coooooool
I see Ricky is back. Oh joy.
Excuse me, Mike?
Don't break your word to me, Jimmy. A John Deere. Also, the Bayliner should sleep at least four in the cabin. The new house. Looking forward to meeting you in person, Jimmy. Don't break your word to me.
Rick, there is no excuse for you.
Mike, God made me. God don't make no junk.
BTW Jimmy, too bad you couldn't have met Lana. Jen is staying and currently baking cookies. She's a good woman. Tomorrow she'll be skidding logs.
Was that I read about in some Baptist publication liking a cake, Jimmy? I think it was up by Mexico Mo., or thereabouts.
That is, I read about a Jim McAllister at a Baptist dinner in Missouri. How many Jim McAllister's can there be? As many Rick Kepple's I guess. Lots.
Jimmy, it's harder to write when you MUST, isn't it? I find that just writing a lot of crap that no one really cares about helps a lot to bring the real words about. Well, you're a writer. You know how it is.
I don't live in Scottsdale, but I can make my farm into a very comfortable, inexpensive habitat that y'all would envy.
Y'all never asked me what Obama wrote to me. I think he might have been trying to be nice. He's like Mike. Says those sarcastic things so I reckon he don't like hillbillies either. It's too bad y'all didn't ask what was in the letter.
I'll bet Fox news is interested since they're all talking about class warfare and such.
I can say, "Yeah, Obama acts pretty much like that fella on Jim McAllister's blog!" Rich folks is rich folks, Republican or Democrat.
Rick, God must have a sense of humor.
What are you trying to say, Mike. Why does God have a sense of humor? Tell the world why God has a sense of humor, Mike. Tell us how you're a good American Republican and you know God.
Why does God have a sense of humor, Mike?
You don't have to answer, Mike. It's a complicated answer that will probably take about a ream of paper to answer. Too much for this little space.
How about something simple.
What is 'coooool'?
Rick...he already knows his name is Mike....Why the need to keep repeating it?
Did I have the reverb too high? Echo ... echo ... testing, testing ... the Mike is fine.
Rick, we know god has a sense of humor because he made people like you.
No Mike, I don't know what you mean. What do you mean, People like me?
