Tiny Tim marries Miss Vicki on The Tonight Show. Charles Manson and The Mansonettes go on their killing spree. Charmin bathroom tissue becomes the butt of jokes thanks to Mr. Whipple. Senator "Dead" Ted Kennedy drives his car off a bridge killing a young female. President Nixon bans the production of chemical weapons. Adios napalm... Last but not least-Woodstock! The year was 1969...
We had a small dusting of snow yesterday which is two small dustings in two years-a record for this neck of the woods. I haven't driven to the Extreme Makeover/Home Edition work site yet, but I assure you the volunteers that worked through 26 degree temps last night would have rather been home in a warm bed. Screw generosity!
Speaking of virgins, last night I was "reintroduced" to a girl I first met four years ago during a hostage crisis. Seriously, I was so busy talking to her that I accidentally stepped in the line of fire of a police sniper. He did tell me to move though...that worked out well, and I got the girl again.
So that's some of the crap that's on my mind today. What's on yours? Oh, and did I fail to mention that's it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood? Well, it is...a beautiful day in the neighborhood [whistles].

1969 was the year I graduated from high school but I really remember it more so for the Apollo 11 moon landing. Sadly I missed out on that earth-shattering event known as Woodstock.
David: Woodstock was too cool. Some of the greatest (and hard to understand) music of the hard rock era was played there. Some of it stayed there too.
Don: I was 17 in 1969 too! Afraid that's where our similarities end.
nonamedufus: Well, at least we have something in common. Guess that is our parent's fault though...
1969???? Lets see, where was I... well, I was one year out of high school, looking at getting drafted and sent to beautiful downtown anywhere,'Nam... I had purchased a new, beautiful 69 Nova SS 350, gold and black stripes and lots of accessories... told my "boss" he was a cocksucker (no lie) and found myself without a job (no sense of humor, that fucker)... I had to sell said Nova SS 'cause of the afore mentioned "no job"... did NOT get drafted (!!!)... found a good source of "recreational substances" and... it's what year now???? Wow! It's been 40 years, you say... damn Don! Where did the time go...
Tattoo Jim: Proof that time flies when you're having "fun". Love the sound of that friggin' Nova SS by the way.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. In the Fall of '69 I entered a girls' school not to far from you in Vicksburg - I lasted 2 weeks!!! Were you at the military school in Vicksburg?
Me-Me King: Was that All Saint's School...the private Catholic school? I dated a girl from there, but I can't remember the name of the school. No, I went to military school in Chattanooga.
@ Don - Yes, it was All Saints, a private Eposcopal school. I knew at least one guy from my hometown that went to the same military school in Chattanooga....small world.
Me-Me King: Cool. The girl I'm speaking of was from Memphis I think... I went to Baylor in 'nooga. The other military school there is McCallie.
That's the year I was born! Great year to pick.
By the way, I'm glad to see someone out there isn't afraid to pick on a Kennedy...
The Hawg: Well, happy birthday-in a way. Actually, dead people are a favorite "target" of mine. Especially the ones that so many seem to worship. Even if he was a drunken, philandering, murderer.
