Clerks 1 & Clerks 2

by elzey | Leave a comment

imagesI just watched the movies Clerks, 1 and 2. Both were worth a watch and funny in there own way. Many friends have told me to watch them but it took 6 or 7 years for me finally to watch. I’m glad I did but now wish I would have done it years ago. Kevin Smith is great in anything he’s done.

The movies have an amateurish way they were filmed about them but that is what helps make the movie. Jay and Silent Bob are always awesome! Because there was a 12 year gap between the 1st and 2nd movies the actors age really showed, but they didn’t pretend it wasn’t. There was over a 10 year gap in the movie. If you haven’t seen the movies take an evening, make some popcorn and root-beer float,  and watch them.

E8 E8E8I’d give them 3 1/2 out of 5 thumbs up!

Memorable Deaths in 2012

by elzey | Leave a comment

This is for myself… others have passed away that were great people this year.

1. Neil Armstrong – Neil Armstrong, who made the “giant leap for mankind” as the first human to set foot on the moon. My mother sat me in front of the television in 1969 and told me to watch, “This is History being made”.

2. Andy Griffith – Andy Taylor, the small-town sheriff of the fictional Mayberry, N.C., in the long-running situation comedy “The Andy Griffith Show.”  Great comedian and I laughed many a time with him.

3. Earl Scruggs –  With his guitar-strumming partner, Lester Flatt, Mr. Scruggs reached his widest audiences with “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” — it was the getaway music in the 1967 film “Bonnie and Clyde” — and “The Ballad of Jed Clampett,” the theme song of the 1960s television sitcom “The Beverly Hillbillies.” – I have a couple of his albums

4. Don Cornelius – created the dance show “Soul Train,” one of the longest-running syndicated shows in television history. – Watched this many a day!

5. Davy Jones – the handsomest and most popular of the Monkees. The Monkees is one of the first shows I ever remember watching.

6. Sherman Hemsley –  George Jefferson on the hit CBS sitcom “The Jeffersons”  Many laughs from Sherman… Rest In Peace. A true classic sitcom.

7. Stephen Covey – The author became a household name with “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” I’ve learned a lot from him.

8. Mike Wallace – CBS reporter Mike Wallace was one of America’s best-known broadcast journalists as an interrogator of the famous and infamous on “60 Minutes.

9. Etta James – her powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice, could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs. Awesome voice in a singer.

10. Jack Klugman – Oscar Madison on “The Odd Couple” and as the crusading forensic pathologist of “Quincy, M.E.,” I used to sneak out of bed and me and my mother would watch “Quincy” every week.

R.I.P. to ALL! 

Lawless Review

lawlessWe watched the movie “Lawless” on DVD and really like it. The movies was set in the 1930 during prohibition. The cast was bootleggers who ran Virginia moonshine from the rural 1930’s Virginia into the cities. I don’t want to give any spoilers because I really think this is a movie most people will enjoy and should watch. There are a couple of scenes that you’ll think about long after the movie is over.

Not only is it some great acting but the costume design look authentic. I’ve posted a picture from the movie.

If you grew up in a rural area you’ll know people similar to these people. On first appearance they seem quiet country hillbillies… which they are but are caught up in the fast money making of selling illegal alcohol. Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf do an awesome job of acting. Grab the movie, order a pizza, 6 pack, and some popcorn and enjoy the movie for yourself.

Python Hunt this Weekend in Florida

by elzey | Leave a comment

article-huntLike I didn’t have enough to worry about with all the alligators around now I have to worry about these Pythons! Dumb ass people get them as pets and realize they can’t handle them and release them in the wild. Now the pythons  are hunting the alligators. It’s become an epidemic so we have “OPEN SEASON” on them

“Almost 800 people have signed up for the first-ever “Python Challenge,” with the majority just average citizens who would normally lack the permits to legally eradicate the invasive species, organizers said.” – NYDailyNews.com

The largest Burmese python in the Everglades National Park was found last year, measuring 164-1/2 pounds and 17-1/2 feet long. It also was pregnant with 87 eggs. WOW maybe Kentucky is a nice place to raise a family after all.

Burmese pythons are now public enemy No. 1 in the Florida Everglades.  It’s like the “Walking Dead” – a shot through the brain, or decapitation! ~ Rock On!

Bell Bottom Jeans

70646-0007cWhen are “Bell Bottoms” going to come back in style. I know some of you may not even know what they are but back in the ‘day’, in the 1970’s and early 80’s, you had to wear the bell bottoms to be cool. I was one of the last hold-outs. I remember going to 10 stores searching the shelves for the last remaining pants.  I must have worn them till 1983 or 1984? LOL But I’m sure one day they will be back in style!

Here is the famous “Levi Bell Bottoms”

Proud to be White

by elzey | Leave a comment

whiteProud to be White!
I have been wondering about why Whites are racists,
and no other race is……

Proud to be White
Michael Richards makes his point…
Michael Richards better known as Kramer
from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court
after making racial comments in his comedy act.
He makes some very interesting points…

Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans,
Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans..
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’…
And that’s OK…
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger,
Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ..
You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you….
So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET….

If we had WET
(White Entertainment Television),
we’d be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day,
you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month,
we’d be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to ‘advance’
OUR lives, we’d be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce,
and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that??

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant,
but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships…
You know we’d be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ..
Yet if there were ‘White colleges’,
that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March,
you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights,
you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,
and you’re not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride,
you call us racists.

You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us.
But,
when a white police officer shoots a black gang member
or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law
and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud……
But you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists??

That’s why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS
in this country.

We won’t stand up for ourselves! BE PROUD
TO BE WHITE! It’s not a crime YET….
But getting very close!
