Facebook Visit group 8/9/17, 4:47 AM Allan Cried a bit . . . Glen Campbell - I'm Not Gonna Miss You youtube.com 8/9/17, 5:02 PM Mike What a wonder he was. 1/23/18, 4:29 PM Mike Hi Allan. I had never heard of Ed Moses, of course. So, I Googled him and I know why you liked him as an artist. What incredible body of beautiful art. I'm sorry that you lost him as a friend. 1/25/18, 11:19 PM Allan Thanks Mike. It's sad, but I didn't really know him in a personal way, exactly. We would exchange jokes here and there art art openings or parties, and he and his wife were a very entertaining pair - I really liked them both. But more than that, Ed was especially supportive and helpful to so many younger artists, and that meant a lot to so many of us. He was kind of an icon. My work was nothing like his - but I often wished I were more like HIM. So many people leaving us .... 6/24/18, 9:24 PM Mike 7/16/18, 3:28 PM Mike 7/16/18, 10:53 PM Mike is waving at you! Hi Allan. Are you getting this message? I have sent it with my cell phone. 7/17/18, 12:16 AM Allan You and Mike waved at each other! Mike Yay! I can communicate with you through this messenger app on my cell phone. That means I don't have to turn the computer on and get into Facebook. Even though you don't have a cell phone it makes it a little more convenient for me to send you messages. Allan Everything is so easy for you now! Mike Yes & as long as it's easy for me that's pretty much all that counts. Right? And, the fact that someone can't figure out how to turn the music up speaks volumes. 7/17/18, 12:59 AM Mike Or the fact that someone won't turn their music down speaks volumes. 7/17/18, 11:32 PM Mike Sheriff's to the victim: "Listen, I know you're upset because your billboard was stolen, but I really think you're missing the big picture." 7/18/18, 3:17 PM Mike As his wife stood on the edge of the cliff facing her husband, he said, "Why don't we both just take a step back and reevaluate our accidental death policies." 7/18/18, 8:54 PM Mike Here's joke I'm going to send to Donald Trump and allow him to use it: What do an international, criminal hacker and Rosie O'Donnell have in common? They both sit in their basement & weigh 400 lbs. Mike Aren't you glad I discovered I could send you messages? Allan I'm so lucky. Mike Or not. Allan Why did Airline ticket salesman write a novel about his escape from jail? Because someone asked him to book a flight. Allan See how it feels? Mike It would feel better if that joke made sense. Allan See? Mike LOL! Allan haha Mike Let's face it, that was a pretty funny exchange. We are funny. Allan I'll keep trying, as time goes by! But I'm not as good as you are! Mike Allan, I just discovered a good Netflix series called Ozark. Have you heard of it? Is stars Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, both of whom I like a lot. It's all murder and mayhem. And, really good. Allan Why was the athlete's father so happy when his son got his first job and earned a little money? Becaused his jock made cents. OK, I'll shut up! Allan OH! I love Laura Linney! I'll watch it!!! Thanks!! I saw her walking down the street one day here in New York, carrying a bunch of empty boxes, and I ALMOST asked her if she needed me to help her. Sigh. One of my favorite movies of all time is "You Can Count On Me." Mike Why didn't you ask her? What's wrong with you? I'm still jealous you got to have dinner with Vera Farmiga. Allan HAHA . . .sorry! Mike 7/19/18, 10:23 PM Mike Allan, this is going to be a little bit long because my email is down. How would you feel about you writing a line in place of the one in "Please Leave the Wine" that is really very sexist nowadays calling his wife his prized possession. 40 years ago we got hard times from cocktail waitresses who didn't like the lyrics "she's got no education" in your cocktail waitress song. And now the one line I'm requesting you to change is going to make every woman in the place mad at us and we're playing at places now where people sit and actually listen to the lyrics. Think about that okay? And fast because we're doing that song on Sunday. If you don't, then I might have to make up something and we both know from experience that probably won't work out. Remember? Hahaha. How about this? "Well you might be surprised but out of all of my life all I ever wanted was you." Problem solved. 7/19/18, 10:43 PM Mike I understand the humor in "my only prized possession's been you." What I made up is basically saying the same thing only in a sweeter way & not chauvinistic. But of course you might have another idea. 7/20/18, 12:50 AM Allan I know, that thing about having no education and no fancy clothes and only knowing how to serve drinks was stupid. I was stupidly not thinking how an actual cocktail waitress might feel when they heard it, haha. I was thinking that the guy saying all that ALSO had no education or fancy clothes, so he felt very happy to be with the waitress -- because HE felt he was always feeling sort of inferior with others, as just a "working man." And some higher-class woman just broke his heart (related to experiences of my own). I wrote that as I was a working man myself, you see, always driving a truck to make deliveries to "upper class" people (delivering art). I still feel looked down upon by the people who I have to deal with all the time, as an artist. (Even all the other truck drivers at that art handling company I worked for had been to college, studying art) But, bad lyric judgment. Hmmm. Still, though the whole "Wine" song is ABOUT "possessions." Part of the irony is that most likely one of the reasons she's leaving him BECAUSE he sees her as his "possession." Have you discussed this with others? Maybe with a woman? Allan Why did the married man always ask cheap sluts to go to the movies with him? Because his wife always asked him to take out the trash. 7/20/18, 1:22 AM Mike That was a good one. Reminds me of one of mine: I think it went something like this: What do you call the garbage at a trailer park? White trash. No women have ever mentioned being insulted about the line. Nobody has. OK, so I'll sing it as is. Until I get accosted by some skank about it & then let's revisit the issue. I'm watching episode 4 of Ozark that I told you about with Laura Linney. Wasn't Laurel Linney the blonde girl in one of the King Kong movies? How do you know you're getting old? When six King Kong movies of the same story have come out while you're still alive. 7/20/18, 7:27 PM Mike What do you call a speed freak's journey to insanity? A meth head to his madness. 7/20/18, 7:48 PM Allan Why did the heterosexual poker player go into the bathroom to use the toilet? He wanted a straight flush. 7/20/18, 8:37 PM Mike Good one. I did a poker riddle too: Why did the guy with only 4 fingers fail to succeed? Because he was dealt a bad hand. How did the Blackjack player get a black eye? He said to the dealer, "Hit me!" So she did. Why did the heterosexual guy never want to play cards? Because he heard there's always four queens in the game. Aren't you glad you got me started? 7/20/18, 9:36 PM Mike Hi Allan. Here's a good Easy Reader article that just came out about Lou and the group. You might enjoy it. https://easyreadernews.com/saw-and-soul-with-lou-mannick-in-hermosa/ 7/20/18, 10:21 PM Allan A company in Rio de Janeiro broke the world record for the number of women's form-fitting undergarments it produced in a single year. Guess how many it produced? A Brazilian. What's the best weapon to kill a man with an overdose of sodium? A salt rifle. Hi, I went to Easy Rider, but I didn't see the article - what's the name of the article? Maybe I could search in the morning . . . I found it - I'll read it when I wake up Mike Did you make up a Brazilian? That one is outstanding. Actually they are both really good. The second a salt rifle one took me a few seconds longer to get. 7/21/18, 12:29 PM Mike >> 0:02 Mike Seriously Allen. You must have a high IQ because you've gotten every one of those puzzles I've sent you which I think we're three. Nobody else got any of them them and everybody else just seems to fold immediately. 7/21/18, 8:43 PM Mike A word of caution for gay men at a straight dance: Be careful what you swish for. 7/21/18, 9:50 PM Mike Here's one not to be shared with the ladies. What do you call a real bitch of a woman when she's heading out to see? "C Word". And not to be shared with children either. 7/22/18, 5:57 PM Allan Why did the still life painter ask the local baker to let him into his kitchen? He was looking for a roll model. Mike That's a coincidence because I like a roll with honey in bed every morning. 7/22/18, 6:14 PM Mike https://www.facebook.com/messenger_media/?thread_id= 782299467&attachment_id=10156595446284468&message _id=mid.%24cAAAAAAhjheNq9VQc1lkxAx_YEjtq 7/23/18, 12:04 AM Mike The show went off really well. It was a great room with great sound by the soundman. We had a big crowd & they really enjoyed the show. It was so exciting to see. I'm proud be part of it. Mike We did Please Leave the Wine & the audience loved it. It's really fun to do a song like that in front of an audience that's not drinking and making a whole bunch of noise. They were cracking up. They could understand the lyrics clearly because we had a really good soundman. And the audience was laughing pretty much throughout the song & it got big applause. And Louie told the audience that you had written the song. 7/23/18, 1:44 PM Allan This makes me so happy to hear Mike. Was it you who did the voice? Or Louie? Mike I sing the lead and on the choruses there's me with three-part art harmony. And it' a really good, full sound. Furthermore, no women gave me a bad time so far so good. There were a lot of my really old friends there and they demanded that we do the Greasy Lee song, witch we have never done with this new band. So not to let them down we did that song with everybody really enjoyed it. And, it is way more sexist than your song. People always really start getting a kick out of it when I sing take my car if you choose take my cigars take my shoes and take my barbecue along with you too. That always gets their attention. Allan "Take my thongs if you choose, and my sarongs and my shoes, and my greasy tongs along with you too." (NEVER USE THIS!!!) Mike I'll save that for when we play at the gay bars. Allan HAHAHA Mike Reminds me that gays at a cowboy bar s hould be careful what they swish for. Allan Oy. Mike I just thought of another. A gay guy says to a straight man, "Are you a switch hitter?" The straight man says YEAH! I'll knock you the fuck out with my left hand or my right hand. OY! Allan OK, OK, OK - mo more!!! I'm expecting the plumber! (seriously) Mike LOL. 7/24/18, 4:03 PM Mike After he had both hands amputated, there was something else bothering him but he couldn't put his finger on it. 7/24/18, 4:25 PM Allan . . . and I doubt if he'd give you a thumbs up on this joke. Allan The doctor told him that he needed to have both his limbs amputated, but he said it in a disarmingly nice way. 7/24/18, 5:16 PM Mike The guy lost both lower limbs in an accident and his argument with his insurance company failed because he didn't have a leg to stand on. 7/25/18, 1:10 PM Mike What did the Speaker of the House say after the vote on the ocular healthcare legislation? The eyes have it. 7/25/18, 2:26 PM Allan The question is: What did the bride and groom say when the minister asked them why there were tears rolling down their cheeks? The answer is: Eye dew. 7/25/18, 3:06 PM Mike Here is a more realistic answer to that riddle. Because we can't stand each other, but it's an arranged marriage. 7/25/18, 5:55 PM Mike 7/27/18, 5:17 PM Mike From now on I want to be called "Shock Absorber" because if you stick with me you'll always be in for a smooth ride. Or "Sky Pilot" cuz I really know how to pile it on. 7/27/18, 6:22 PM Mike Do you think I'm watching too much YouTube? Two cops riding together on a typical night: 1: " Shit man it's dead. We need some action." 2: "Yeah. We need to bust a couple of assholes before our shift's over. But, of course, we don't have a quota to meet." wink wink 1: "See that guy over there? I don't think I like the way he just looked at me. Let's go see who he is and what the fuck's his problem. He's all mine!" 2: "Take your hands out of your pockets motherfucker! Got some ID?" Guy: "But sir why are you...." 1: "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET ON THE GROUND!" 2: "GET ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE G ROUND! GET ON THE GROUND!" 1: "Stop resisting!" Guy: "I'm not resi..." 2: "Stop resisting!" Guy: I'm not re..." 1: TASER! TASER! TASER! Guy: Ahhhhhhhh! Why are you..Owwwwww! I haven't done any... Ahhhhhhh! 1: "You're under arrest motherfucker now stand up!" Guy: "OK OK." BAM!!!! "Why did you just slam my head on the hood of....." 2. "Shut the fuck up and get in the car. Watch your head now." BAM!!!! Guy: Owwwwwwww! Why did you ....." 1: You say another word asshole and you might not make it to the station!" And so on.... You know the rest. 7/31/18, 11:22 AM Mike Here's one I just made up. Rudy Guiliano said "I looked through the federal criminal statutes and there's nowhere that calls "collusion" a crime, so how could he be found guilty." That's like saying, "After I beat the crap out of that guy I looked through the federal criminal statutes and there's nowhere that calls, "beating the crap out of some guy" a crime, so how could I be found guilty for that? 8/1/18, 12:24 AM Allan This might be the guy: https://www.facebook.com/mike.mccollum.3388 Mike McCollum 8/1/18, 12:48 AM Mike He looks like a delightful person that anyone would want to know. 8/2/18, 11:05 PM Mike Did you know that the Luthrans don't recognize the Methodists. And the Mormons don't recognize the Catholics. And, the Baptists don't recognize eash other in the liquor store. 8/2/18, 11:33 PM Allan Did you hear about the last example from Chuck? 8/3/18, 12:10 AM Mike No! Mike What did he say? 8/3/18, 12:42 AM Mike Now I get it. No, not from Chuck. Joe Scarborough on his show. 8/5/18, 5:51 PM Mike Mike is waving at you! Allan Hi, NO, not from Chuck, haha Mike Missed audio call 5:53 PM 8/9/18, 4:31 PM Mike Hi Allan. Are you good & everything OK? 8/9/18, 6:47 PM Allan Hi Mike! I'm sorry I missed your calls! Everything's OK, although I HATE being 74. What do I do with my life? At least you have grandchildren to enjoy! Love, Allan 8/9/18, 7:13 PM Mike And I hate being 70. Shael has told me many times to quit dwelling on getting old. I try my best not to, but I still don't like it. Love, Mikr Mike 10/8/18, 8:03 PM Mike Hi Allan You got out of Florida just in time. Hurricane Michael is supposed to hit Florida on the gulf on Wednesday afternoon. 10/9/18, 1:17 AM Allan Hi old guy! Yes, I'm now safe. Maybe. love 10/11/18, 12:10 AM Mike In what manner do Kathy Griffin. Lucille Ball and Carrot Top always have to move? Very gingerly.. Oh yeah. I still got it. Mike I just got back from a walk. San Pedro has nice streets and wide walks. And beautiful shoreline and tide walks. There's no need for cash to haul away trash. We just leave our crap on the sidewalks 10/14/18, 12:36 AM Mike So, what song do Navy doctors sing while treating sailors for mouth sores? Wait for it .... >> 0:09 10/21/18, 8:19 PM Mike No more living by myself. 10/24/18, 11:40 AM Mike Hi Allan its 11:38 your time on Wednesday. Did you know there's a suspicious device that in New York City at the CNN building? They're evacuating. 10/24/18, 3:05 PM Allan spooky New York, aarrgghhhh 11/23/18, 8:15 PM Mike Mike is waving at you! This is one of my photographic art masterpieces. I call it, "Moon Over The Harbor Minus Infinitum - Love Malady." 11/23/18, 8:36 PM Mike Look Allan. I have two new cats: Gracie & Treat. I adopted them about 5 weeks ago. They are so much fun! Treat us the orange ine, 8 months old. Gracie is 16 months old. Mike Reply with a GIF It's a blue wave of your individual works! 11/24/18, 10:29 AM Mike 11/24/18, 11:15 PM Allan Mike, you are so lucky that you took that Paralegal class - you clearly would have been put out of business by robots, if you'd stayed in your previous career . . . Robot that can Install Drywall youtube.com 11/27/18, 2:45 PM Mike First of all Alan. I haven't looked at that robot video yet. It seems very unlikely that that's real. Is it a joke? Would you like to see the most beautiful woman in the world? Brooke Baldwin, CNN anchor. 11/27/18, 3:25 PM Mike Reply with a GIF Allan that guy did something you might want to consider. He came out of the closet. BAM!! 11/28/18, 7:52 PM Allan ? 11/28/18, 8:50 PM Mike ?? 11/30/18, 1:34 PM Mike I'm remembering Dad today. Quiz: What brand of beer did Dad drink when he was working on cars in the driveway? 11/30/18, 2:52 PM Allan I don't know - I don't remember him drinking at all . . . hmmm 11/30/18, 3:32 PM Mike He drank beer but in moderation and I think he mainly enjoyed it when he was either working on a car in the driveway or working in his Workshop. Miller Highlife 11/30/18, 8:57 PM Allan Why did you tell me to come out of the closet, Mike? Mike Allan, it was a stupid joke. That's all it was. Like you should come out of the closet because you're gay. It was just a dumb juvenile Junior High School type joke. 11/30/18, 10:42 PM Mike Allan are you upset about that dumb joke and GIF I texted to you? I'm asking because you asked me twice about it and what it meant or why I said it. And I answered you once. And then today I got another message from you asking what it was. So I answered you twice now. It was just a funny GIF and a stupid joke that came with it. 11/30/18, 11:39 PM Allan OK. Well I thought you were mad or something about the robot video. And maybe you think I'm gay because I never married! Mom thought that . . .arrrgghhh 12/1/18, 1:30 AM Mike Allan, I was not mad at all about the robot when I told you I thought the video might be fake. I just happened to watch it again about an hour ago. I don't know why you thought that the video could have made me mad. And you being gay has never entered my mind. And I didn't know Mom thought you were, but it brings back a memory. I drew a cartoon once that showed a guy's face and a big dick near his mouth. I must have written "Allan" near the guy's face because Mom found it and asked me if I really thought that about you. I told her no. And, as far as I remember, but I guess it could have been brought up by Mom with someone else, but never again with me. Love, =Mike= 12/1/18, 1:32 PM Mike Hi Allan. Now I understand why you reacted the way you did to my dumb joke. I had no idea about Mom thinking the way she did. The drawing I told you about that Mom found surely evidence that she was wondering about it. But, at some point if she took it further, I was never made aware of it. I don't see how she would have thought that in and beyond your teenage years. You always seemed to have no problem meeting and finding girlfriends. So, I will never make jokes like that again. What you told me about Mom really shocked me And, in less I'm not remembering, you never told me about it. Love, Mike 12/1/18, 2:13 PM Allan Thanks Mike. Yeah, it was weird, and really made me think she had no idea who I am. It was like when she was in her '70s or so, and we were chatting, and there a was a pause in the conversation, and she said, "I just want you to know, Allan, that if you are homosexual, that's OK." I was totally shocked, and realized she must have been thinking I was gay all of my life. What did she think, I paid all those girlfriends I brought over to meet her through all those years, so she wouldn't know? I think she had a very hard time understanding others. Mike So surprising. But at least we know now that if any of us brothers were Gay, she wouldn't disown us. I saw a very sad movie once where the parents just could not accept the fact that their son was gay. And they made his life so miserable he jumped off a bridge and kill himself. It was such a sad movie. And in the end the mother knew that what she had done was wrong and she was completley devastated. And, it was a true story. PS: I really like the photograph that comes up with your text messages. It shows your personality perfectly I think. 12/3/18, 9:32 AM Mike Hear is your riddle for today: A unit of eletricity. English consonant rolled on a foreigner's tongue. She protects her lambs. Morning moisture on grass. If you lose one flying, forget about a safe landing. 12/3/18, 10:11 AM Allan Not much, I just woke up. What are you doing? 12/3/18, 10:38 AM Mike You are brilliant Allan. You and Jeremy are the only ones to solve the riddle so far. Jeremy asked me to tell you after he was the first person to solve it that there's a new sheriff in town. 12/3/18, 1:46 PM Allan 12/4/18, 12:59 PM Mike What same phrase can be used as a description for all three sentences? A hamburger can be cooked this way. The play was directed and performed nicely. After digging, the structure was completed. 12/4/18, 5:39 PM Allan Well done? Mike Yes. Everybody or most people have gotten the right answer. So I'm going to start making them harder. 12/5/18, 8:44 PM Allan What single spoken comment can describe all three of these: The tale of an auction event involving an attempt to sell a tract of open land. A narrative with a gruesome ending. A politically conservative British actor who gets additional small parts. 12/6/18, 8:16 PM Mike This is a tough one. It has to do with bits, Brits, Moore, more, morebid, moor, Brit. But I'm trying to put them together. Moor bid story. Morbid story. One more I'm trying to figure out. More bits Tory. Did I get them? That was a good puzzle Allan. I thought Moore would be part of an answer because maybe Roger Moore was known to be conservative. Now I want to come up with another. 12/6/18, 9:20 PM Allan You are a genius! You GOT IT!! All three!! Mike What single spoken word or phrase sounding the same can describe all of these: Laugh at Mr. Marvin. Four- eyed entertainer. Not corridor D or F. Take away Ms. Remick. Cassius Clay's other name without the "Mohammed." 12/6/18, 11:13 PM Allan Ha Lee, Alee, Hall E, Haul Lee, Ali 12/7/18, 10:10 AM Mike You missed no. 2 Holly (Buddy). Who is Alee? These are fun because when you get one then the others are just a matter of time. 12/7/18, 10:48 AM Allan https://www.google.com/search?q=alee+houston&safe= off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiLloDNi I7fAhVCnOAKHeW4AfAQ_AUIDygC&biw=1329&bih=809 alee houston - Google Search google.com Mike Nice try. No "H" sound. You might try to make that same argument for my answer of Muhammad Ali. However a person can pronounce Muhammad Ali with an H sound before Ali and nobody would know the difference. That's why my answer is legitimate and yours unfortunately is not. One more thing Allan. Sunglasses don't make a person four-eyed. They make a person cool. Guess what I just did. You never will. I just accidentally ordered a Subway submarine sandwich with the app. And now I have to go pick it up. I was just trying to see the prices. 12/7/18, 5:56 PM Mike Two more: 1. Decor used around the New Year. 2. Tom T's last & conservative country singer Greenwood's first names together. 12/7/18, 7:31 PM Allan Well, the Hillsborough Association of Women Lawyers' Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprise might approve you're using an "H' when describing them, but Muhammad might suggest you get a Purdue University Network Computing Hub in the Florida Association of Code Enforcement. Mike Very Good One Allan So funny! "Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise!" Allan Ooo-ee baby, that's what they sent you when you ordered a submarine? Mike They were confused. 12/8/18, 10:57 AM Mike Answer this with a phrase that sounds the same: Said to a batter who does not swing at a bad pitch. An Australian hello. 12/8/18, 3:18 PM Mike The cats have only begun to scratch the surface. The most recent one, last night, is the one on my middle finger. It was an accident by Gracie so I am forgiving her for that one. 12/8/18, 4:41 PM Allan G'day, Good Eye. Jesus!!! A CAT did that?? Mike You got the riddle. Excellent. I have 2 cats. The scratches are mostly not done on purpose. They just play really hard because they're little more than kittens. I'm training them to stop doing that. I am having more of a problem with one of them. The female cat bit me and scratched me so hard when I accidentally stepped on her, I had to go to my doctor and get on a course of antibiotics. This was last week. I might have to give her back to the adoption place. I'm not sure yet. 12/9/18, 1:04 PM Mike The answers (a) are nouns ???????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????? (b)??????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????? contain a vowel in order of the list, and (c) have the last two letters the same: Levity expression. "F" Capacity unit. Carries off illegally. Builds things to play on. 12/9/18, 2:55 PM Allan This may take me a few days. My laptop is being repaired, I'm at Elizabeth's. Hmm. How can a word that means "Carries off illegally" or "Builds things to play on" be a noun? Hmmm. Mike Maybe it's what is carrying or builds. Also I forgot, each word starts with the same letter. 12/10/18, 11:33 AM Mike Isn't it interesting that one's "laptop is being repaired" is usually when there is a difficult task at hand. Speaking of difficult tasks, if you get these right you are a true genius. Word or phrase sound the same: A town in nortwest Surrey, England. High-heat cooking. He rules over promenades. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????

Here. Am I now the Wah King? 12/11/18, 1:23 AM Allan Vincent Price was a lover of fine art, way before I new what fine art was. When I was a kid (a teen) I heard that he was going to do a lecture at El Camino, and I got SO excited! I showed up, bought a ticket, and seated myself ready to hear a great talk about MONSTER MOVIES - hopefully like The Fly, The House on Haunted Hill, House of Wax, and others. But all he talked about was art. I was so angry and disappointed! Art? Who the fuck cares about ART?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc_nPknMDVQ Oddly, now, at my age - I have three or four friends who show in a gallery owned by his very cool cousin, Tracy Williams. She even reminds me a bit of him, haha. Here is a show at Tracy's gallery with one of my favorite ex- assistants and best friend of mine, Anna Craycroft: http://www.tracywilliamsltd.com/anna-craycroft/ anna-craycroft.html 1962 Vincent Price Sales Training Video for Fine Art Collection youtube.com -1 12/11/18, 2:26 AM Mike Yes. You are the Wah King. Amazing and impressive. I simply need to try harder. And you almost got all of the first one You said "ladder" for levity expression. The answer is "laughter." Back to the drawing board for me. By the way, what do call it when an indifferent architect returns to his work? 12/11/18, 10:13 AM Mike Back to the drawing bored. 12/12/18, 4:14 PM Mike What do the guy who just accepted delivery of his burro and Michael Cohen have in common. They both got their asses handed to them. I know I said I was going to stop making those kinds of jokes but I just couldn't help it. 12/12/18, 6:38 PM Allan 12/14/18, 3:39 PM Mike Hi Allan I'm looking at Marcie Paper's website with your shapes to cuddle. She is still calling the ones she has sold as "out of stock" which makes no sense. Now I'm curious. If a buyer wanted the exact same shape that is "out-of-stock" but would be willing to have a different design on it, would that be allowed? Are you or Marcie keeping a close inventory on the shapes that have already been made? I know you always do that so I'm guessing that you are. She shows the shapes really well on her site. They look great. 12/14/18, 6:06 PM Allan No, never the same shape twice, no matter what the cloth design! She worked so hard on this, clearly not making a penny - but it was fun. And yes, I keep track - it's sort of the whole point. I hope you still have the unpainted one I gave to you back when, leaving it for you in Mom's trailer? 12/14/18, 7:46 PM Mike Yes. I have 2 of them with the plastic bags and the card that explains or shows the number. One is small and one is kind of medium sized. 12/15/18, 8:09 PM Mike I just found out that I am getting a $600 a year increase in social security income for 2019. That's the first substantial annual increase I 've gotten since I got on SS 5 years ago. Yay! And that means that you will get one too. ] 12/16/18, 1:45 AM Mike Warning the drivers, what did the boss say would happen if any porta potties being transported fell off the trucks? "Heads are gonna roll." 12/16/18, 3:40 PM Mike I just heard people are calling Donald Trump Jr.. Fredo of the Trump family. Hilarious! 12/16/18, 7:22 PM Mike 12/17/18, 4:57 PM Allan You'll na?? Ule naugh? Yule naw? Mike Missed audio call 5:00 PM >> 1:00 Missed audio call 5:04 PM 12/17/18, 6:21 PM Mike Hi Allan.

Are you going to go watch the ball drop tonight? Have you ever been there for that? Allan 1/2/19, 11:13 AM Mike The sentence below gives a clue to a certain word 5 times. What is he word? The detective, on reviewing a photo showing a machine hidden in a silent forest, realized it was operating even now and he would not stand for it. 1/3/19, 7:03 PM Mike Take a look at this. Target thinks I am a pretty awesome guy. Why wouldn't they? I am - totally. . . . .
