THE JOKE WAS ON ME. open thread Saturday. (Actually, al my posts seem to turn into open threads)
For the past month the Memsahib has been nagging (She says asking) me to get a haircut. I am notorious for letting my hair get out of control. Must be from my military days when I had to get it cut every five or six days.
So, to make a long story short, I went to the Barber Shop at Goodfellow AFB and told them to give me a basic training hair cut. I was really being cute, but she did just that, and I discoverd that part of my hair is nearly bald.
When the Memsahib saw it, she nearly died of laughter. Then she said, and I qoute “you will be sorry. Have you forgotten how cold it is out right now?”
Well, as the old saying goes, she was right, as usual. Today I lay under blankets and a heating blanket, because I was shiverrrring!!! BBBRRRRRR!!
A good joke, but it was truly on Ole RP.

Weird stuff goes on in the minds of men during the dead of winter. I’ve been resisting the urge to trim my beard back to a goatee for the last couple of days. I usually do it in the spring but the urge came early this year. Global warming, I reckon.

Hey, I guess I could blame it on Global Warming instead of my own stupidity.

The joke was on these two, also:
The Rambo Granny of Melbourne, Australia
Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles.
The old lady spent a week hunting those men down — and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant’s desk and told him as calm as could be:
‘Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.’ Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cell mate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up.
The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas’ testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. The one guy, Thomas, didn’t lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won’t be using it the way he used to, Detective Delp told reporters. Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they’re just happy to be alive after what they’ve been through.
The Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. “When I saw the look on my Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself ’cause I figured the Law would go easy on them,” recalled the retired library worker. “And I wasn’t scared of them, either– because I’ve got me a gun and I’ve been shooting’ all my life. And I wasn’t dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one.”
So, using a police artist’s sketch of the suspects and Debbie’s description of the sickos’, tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel.
I knew it was them the minute I saw ‘em, but I shot a picture of ‘em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them, the oldster recalled.
So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door and the minute the big one, , opened the door, I shot ‘em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt ‘em most, you know.
Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in.
Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison, Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for Mayor.
DEPORT HER TO AMERICA— WE NEED HER !!

Since this is free-form posting, some random thoughts from me. Finally warmed up enough for me to get the first coat (the “scratch coat”) on my straw bale wall. I’ve been ready since Dec. 4th, but the weather has cooperated.
I did that under harsh conditions–but they were internal. I have, shall we say, intestinal distress. Been up and down and up and down yesterday and again since 3 am today. We both felt bad. so we rented 2 movies. “Little Miss Sunshine” is great. Try to rent it. “The Devil Wears Prada” held my interest. Meryl Streep was astounding as always. Perhaps more interesting to the ladies, but it moved quickly and did not bore me.
Rp commented several weeks ago on “Letters from Iwo Jima.” It’s by Clint Eastwood and it is from the Japanese point-of-view. I went into it realizing I would find it disturbing about the Americans. I assumed you could not tell the battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese point of view without it being having some anti-American scenes. Anyway–knowing that–I ended it liking it ok. I’d give it a “B”. Some very impressive scenes from the Island as the Japanese watched the American fleet appear. Didn’t like some scenes of Americans being cruel to the Japanese soldiers, but I had a several day discussion with an uncle who was there (now deceased) and he told me similiar things.
