1/2/19, 11:13 am Mike The sentence below gives a clue to a certain word 5 times. What is the 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. 1/3/19, 7:49 pm Mike Have you ever seen a dog with James Brown moves? You have now. 1/5/19, 4:14 pm Mike 1/5/19, 10:16 pm Allan Cool guys! 1/6/19, 9:03 pm Mike I just thought of a riddle that's not very nice. Do you want to hear it? If you don't want to hear it don't read any further. What do you call an ugly old woman who is of more than one nationality? A mixed bag. BADABOOM! 1/8/19, 10:14 pm Mike Why is Trump's spikeswoman, Kelly Ann Conway, in such great shape? Because she spends so much time walking back Trump's statements. Mike * spokeswoman 1/9/19, 12:08 am Mike Dang, I take a short walk to the mailbox and back and my chair has been usurped by a couple of scoundrels. Outsmarted again! 1/11/19, 12:19 am Mike My New riddle: What type of vehicle designed with a high center of gravity serves as a bad example? Roll model. Bada boom! 1/11/19, 1:51 pm Mike Another new riddle: Why did the judge throw the auto mechanic's case out of court? Because he came to court with unclean hands. 1/12/19, 9:46 pm Mike New puzzle: The answer is two words that are the same: The crew that disinfects the benches for a court. 1/13/19, 10:40 am Allan Bleachers bleachers. I'm a genius. Mike You are definently a genius Mike I need to make my riddles and puzzles harder. 1/14/19, 11:13 am Mike OK smart guy. Try this one: The answer is four words that rhyme. Sid's grandfathers' reconciler's jeweler tools 1/14/19, 1:49 pm Allan I think that would be Caeser's geezer's appeaser's tweezers. 1/14/19, 3:04 pm Mike What?? Are you hacking into my computer to get your answers? You must be! I thought you would probably get it but I didn't know you would get it so quickly. You are amazing. 1/14/19, 3:31 pm Allan It's because I'm four years older. 1/16/19, 12:50 am Mike Why didn't the cattail ever want to have fun? Because it was a stick in the mud. 1/17/19, 12:51 pm Mike I think I just thought of one you won't get. What does the following have in common with a function of a smartphone? "Except for one, all of the taverns in my town have gone out of business." 1/17/19, 1:51 pm Allan What's a smartphone? I know, I'm old and stupid . . . but . . . 1/17/19, 2:10 pm Mike A cellphone. 1/17/19, 3:56 pm Mike I just made up a new recipe. It's called "Mike's easy sticky rice." Just cook your rice too long, and then let it sit for a little while.. WAH LAH! Enjoy. 1/17/19, 5:06 pm Mike A ram to his mate: "My life is shear hell, but I wooly don't care. What say ewe? Let's do a toast...... "Shears" 1/18/19, 9:52 am Allan Since I have no idea what a smartphone/cellphone does, I'll never figure that one out! 1/18/19, 10:40 am Mike I finally got ya! That's what you get for being 25 years behind the times. The answer is "I only have one bar." Cellphones often show a bar graph that tells you how much of your battery you have left so you will know when you need to charge it. Mike The forties called. They want their rotary dial phone back. 1/18/19, 11:09 am Allan I would never have gotten that in 74 years. Or a million. Mike That's only true if, for a million years, you decided to be a hermit & never to learn about or take advantage of technological advances. You old dinosaur. Mike Allan you know I'm just kidding you. But I think you would really like having a smartphone. You like being on the computer a lot and having a smartphone is a computer that you can use anywhere you are. It is really handy. And you can use them with earphones so you don't have to worry about being hard of hearing. Why don't you look into it a little bit? 1/18/19, 12:15 pm Mike I resisted getting a cell phone for a long time myself. But when I did, I was very glad. Lots of people, like me, don't even have a landline. Maybe you could look into how much you're paying every month for your landline and compare it to the cost of a cell phone monthly charge. 1/18/19, 12:32 pm Mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDx907b5v4Y&feature=share Mike McCollum & Lou Mannick performing Choo Choo Ch'Boogie youtube.com 1/18/19, 1:01 pm Allan 1/18/19, 8:55 pm Mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0ukONZDgAE&feature=share CAT SEES HIS OWNER WHO DIED YEARS AGO AND CAN'T HOLD IT IN WHEN HE SEES THE VIDEO youtube.com 1/18/19, 9:42 pm Mike This video made me cry. 1/18/19, 11:26 pm Allan 1/26/19, 12:37 pm Mike The five answers are all three letter words and have the same two consonants. A gesture of praise is nice but it won't pay the bills. You can do this at the zoo. Situating chickens face-to-face. It used to lead to severe penalties. The Olympic game makes one's head spin. 1/26/19, 2:20 pm Allan tip, pet, pit, pot, top? 1/26/19, 3:21 pm Mike Wow!! You did it again! They are not all the answers that I meant, but they work for the formula I gave you. You are amazing. The different answers that I had were pat instead of tip. As in a pat on the back. And "put" as in shot put for the last one. However, now I realize that was a really bad clue because it's not the shot putters that spin around, it's the discus throwers. Sorry. Your answer was no better though. I don't think top spinning is an Olympic event. We both failed on that one. 1/26/19, 3:36 pm Allan You need to do more research: Top games (spinning top Olympics) youtube.com 1/26/19, 6:17 pm Mike I stand corrected. Mike Allan, do you remember Uncle Sam had a tops collection? Do you remember that Mom & Grammy were members of TOPS? 1/26/19, 8:58 pm Mike Look. I got 8 pairs of reading glasses for $9.99. And they threw in a pair of peach- colored sun glasses. Nice! 1/27/19, 10:18 am Mike Why was the boy who ate the toys found in his Cracker Jacks so unpredictable? Because he was full of surprises. 1/27/19, 12:46 pm Allan Oy. TOPS! Yes, I remember. Mike It's your lucky day. When was the last time you got five jokes in one? Five! Count 'em: Donald Trump is tops in my book. 1. Everything he says is spin. 2. He's spinning out of control. 3. Yeah - Topsy Turvy. 4. He tops out at about 300 pounds. 5. He tops the narcissus chart. You're welcome. 1/27/19, 1:07 pm Allan Take Off President Sensibly. Mike Excellent one! Allan I meant to write Take OUT President Sensibly! Mike Do you mean you'd like to take him out like out to dinner. Why? 1/27/19, 11:01 pm Allan I'm gay. 1/28/19, 5:52 pm Mike You will never guess what I am doing. I am getting what's called an ESA letter that provides that my cats are ESAs (Emotional Service Animals). When I have the legitimate letter, my cats will not be considered as mere pets, but ESA's and exempt from "no pets" lease provisions. A landlord cannot restrict a person from having an ESA under the federal Fair Housing Act. And they cannot charge pet deposits or any other additional fees. I think I am likely to be considered qualified because I have a long history of anxiety and depression and I'm 70 years old and live alone. One more thing. It is legitimate. I notice a very different feeling I have now since I got my cats. I like to come home now and I don't feel down in the dumps because I'm always alone. They really are working for me in a very positive way emotionally. 1/28/19, 10:24 pm Allan You are so involved in tenant issues! Boy, me too. I have a friend who got a letter from a psychologist telling her landlord that her little dog was an ESA, and the landlord in turn made her put the dog's NAME on the lease. When the dog died, of course, this was to be an issue - so she found another dog that looked just like the first one and gave it the same name! I'm sorry that you're depressed! Me too, much of the time. 1/28/19, 11:07 pm Mike Is that story really true? Sounds more like a Seinfeld episode. My theory is that when you're way smarter than everyone else it's naturally depressing because people can't relate to us in any meaningful way. Normal people are too stupid to realize they should be depressed so they're not depressed because they're so freakin' stupid. It's a perfect example of a total Catch 22. So simple. -1 Mike Allan, is this real or a joke? Roxana, is this real or is it a joke? Watch "POLICE OFFICER GOT KNOCKED OUT BY A UNKNOWN MAN!" on YouTube https://youtu.be/vkj2n2HLM6A POLICE OFFICER GOT KNOCKED OUT BY A UNKNOWN MAN! youtube.com 1/29/19, 10:39 am Mike My perfect solution for the illegal alien problem. Whenever in illegal is caught in this country or caught trying to cross the border they are given a GPS implant with a timer and a small explosive device. Once they are kicked out of our country, if they return, it sets off the GPS device and timer and they have 24 hours to get out of the country or else a small explosion will occur within the interior of their body and they will drop dead immediately. Any attempt to remove the implant will also cause the interior explosion with the same result. Problem solved. 2/1/19, 3:05 pm Allan You need to apply for a patent. 2/2/19, 11:49 pm Mike Allan, I am watching a Netflix series called "Black Earth Rising." The trimmed bushes in this scene remind me a whole lot of your perfect vehicles. 2/3/19, 4:56 pm Allan I should be so green! 2/3/19, 5:20 pm Mike I remember you described your perfect vehicles as sentry standing guard. I think that's what you may have said but it was a long time ago. Those bushes remind me of guards, the way they were trimmed. Enter 2/4/19, 12:51 am Mike If our uncle were alive today, what kind of smartphone would he want? Samsung. Ha Ha Ha Ha!! 2/4/19, 2:41 pm Allan Oh brother. Mike Oh brother. Mike McCollum sent you an invite to join Messenger. 2/5/19, 8:24 pm Mike Allan, I think you will get this puzzle quickly. You can say these same things in other ways that always include the same word. What's the word? It's OK with me. Just forget it. Show some courtesy. That is really annoying so can you stop? I'm having a tough time deciding. He is crazy. Stay in your lane. He doesn't manage the business. Athletes need the will to win. I'm thinking seriously about doing it. 2/5/19, 9:31 pm Allan It's OK with me. I'm up for it. Just forget it. Give it up. Show some courtesy. Lighten up. That is really annoying so can you stop? Don't keep it up. I'm having a tough time deciding. Does it have to be up to me? He is crazy. He's fucked up. Stay in your lane. Straighten up. He doesn't manage the business. It's not up to him. Athletes need the will to win. Never give up. I'm thinking seriously about doing it. I'm up to it. 2/5/19, 10:11 pm Mike Those answers dont have the word I thought of but they work! Good job! My answer is "mind." I think you will be able save the puzzle with my word too. 2/5/19, 11:49 pm Mike 1. I dont mind 2. Never mind. 3. Mind your manners. 4. Do you mind? 5. I can't make up my mind. 6. He's out of his mind. 7. Mind your own business. 8. He doesn't mind the store. 9. Where ther's a will ther's a way. 10. I have a mind to do it. Mike Sorry Number 9 is "mind over matter." 2/6/19, 12:28 am Allan Clearly you've made your mind up. 2/6/19, 2:08 am Mike Darn! I forgot to include that phrase in my puzzle. 2/7/19, 12:59 pm Mike How about this?: The Devil's playground. And "Start using the mental faculties that God gave you!" 2/7/19, 4:47 pm Mike Philosophical Question I made up: Man A slaps man B in the face. Man B slaps man A back in the face with equal force. Most people would say they are even. I say they are not even. What do you say? Mike I say they aren't even until Man B slaps Man A again. 2/7/19, 5:47 pm Allan Is Man B an old man named Michael Finnegan? 2/7/19, 6:09 pm Mike Nope. After Man A slapped Man B, he had the unadulterated pleasure of knowing he was one up on Man B. So Man B has to slap Man A twice to feel that same pleasure and that will make them even. Does it all make sense to you now? 2/7/19, 6:52 pm Allan I'll have to beginnigan. Mike The only way a boxer can get even is when he and his opponent knock each other out at the same time. And, that has happened. You'll find several videos showing that very thing. Mike McCollum sent you an invite to join Messenger. Missed video chat 9:48 PM 2/8/19, 1:14 pm Mike Hi Allan. I just got a Facebook message that you missed my video chat. How could you? I think I know why you did. Because I didn't know I had even initiated a video chat with anyone. I wonder what it was about? I don't even know how to initiate a video chat. I better be more careful on Facebook. 2/12/19, 7:42 pm Mike Mike is waving at you! Mike What did the guy say after diischarging some saliva onto his twin brother? "If I'm called a spittin' image, then I'm gonna be a spittin' image." 2/15/19, 10:16 am Mike Damn! This doesn't look very promising. 2/15/19, 3:09 pm Mike Doctor: "Thankfully the arrow only caused minor injury." Patient: "Point well taken." Doctor: "Exactly." 2/15/19, 5:37 pm Mike Oil worker: "Sir, our lead oil reservoir was stolen!" Boss: "Point well taken." Oil worker: "Exactly!" 2/15/19, 6:11 pm Allan ha 2/18/19, 5:21 pm Mike I'm feeling a little old today. 2/18/19, 8:04 pm Allan Little? You seem taller. Mike You must be wondering "Why the long face?" 2/18/19, 9:21 pm Allan Said the bartender to the horse. Mike Exactly. 2/19/19, 12:52 am Mike I'm watching a good movie with Rachel Weisz. Eat your 2/21/19, 10:38 am Mike What was the chant at the voyeurs' rally? "By the peephole, of the peephole, and for the peephole! POWER TO THE PEEPHOLE" 2/28/19, 12:34 pm Mike Mike is waving at you! What do you call a resting predator who doesn't speak truth in Africa? Mike A lyin' lyin' lion lyin' 3/3/19, 1:04 am Allan hmmm 3/7/19, 4:19 pm Mike is waving at you! Mike "President Trump, What do you think of the Paul Manafort sentencing?" "Paul Mana who?" 3/8/19, 4:03 pm Allan Paul Manofart. 3/8/19, 4:52 pm Mike I should have known you would come up with that one. I'm cracking up! 3/8/19, 7:26 pm Mike I have a new big crush on Natasha Bertrand a news reporter at NBC. So freaking beautiful and smart. Smart is very sexy to me and she's 27 years old. Oh my achey breaky heart! 3/9/19, 12:04 am Allan A pretty little weather girl? Mike No. A politics reporter. xs 3/12/19, 10:21 am Mike Mike is waving at you! Mike Two words sounding the same are the answers: Directors triumphed. Built a well. First piece of decking. Indifferent woman. Don't do this on a Boeing 737 Max 8. 3/12/19, 9:53 pm Allan Cohens co-won. She tunneled a funnel and got her water. A step-one step-on. The bored broad was a who-care hooker and a give-a-damn madam. Don't play on plane. 3/12/19, 10:34 pm Mike What??? Have you been drinking? You're cracking me up. 3/12/19, 11:41 pm Allan I figured my wrong answers should be brilliant. Allan So even Cohen co-won was wrong? I was guessing that one and the step-on step-one were right. Mike Now that WAS funny! But now I can't tell if you're kidding me or not. Jeremy got the answers immediately and you always get the answers. So just in case you didn't, here are the answers: Board won. Bored one. Board one. Bored one. Board one. Allan OH! I thought each answer had to have two sound-alike words! You have to explain things better!! Allan PLUS, why is a "bored one" necessarily a Woman?? Mike They all do have two sound a like words. I repeat: Have you been drinking? Allan No. But I've lost some sleep, haha. Mike The bored one is not necessarily a woman. I just did that to throw you off. Allan NO, I thought each answer would have two DIFFERENT sound-alike words. Like peace piece and then ball bawl or whatever. Allan Maybe YOU bore women. I don't. Allan So the answer could have been "Meh" Ma. Mike OK Now I see what you're saying. I agree with you. I have to describe the answers better. I promise I will do better next time so you won't have a cow. Allan Hahaha Allan And, just an aside: If you haven't seen the Cohen brothers "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" on Netflix, see it!! They win! Mike OK I've been wondering about that one. I like the actor who I think plays the lead. Allan There are a number of different stories, with different leads in the film. It's wonderful. The Cohen Brothers are a treasure. Allan A pleasure treasure. Mike They make great movies. Did you ever see what I think might have been their 1st movie called "Blood Simple?" It was awesome. Allan Yes, I've seen it like 3 or 4 times. Mike How about Fargo? So good. I've seen it a bunch. Allan Me too. I love that woman. Allan I went out with a woman for a while who reminded me of Frances McDormand! Mike She was really good in Mississippi Burning with Willem Defoe and Gene Hackman. Allan I don't think I've seen that! Is it on Netflix? Mike I've seen Mississippi burning probably almost 10 . It is really really good. It might be on Netflix. I'm not sure. Allan OK, I'll seek it out! Haha, I love Willem Defoe and Gene Hackman also! Mike I will see any movie with Gene Hackman. Allan Good idea, yep. Allan Mississippi Burning isn't on Netflix, but I can watch it on Amazon Prime. Thanks for the recommendation! Sleep well! Mike Goodnight Allan. Allan 3/13/19, 10:25 pm Mike Allan last night after you told me that Mississippi Burning was on Amazon Prime, I watched it again. Umpteenth time. It's pretty long and every time I see it I see new things. 3/14/19, 12:56 pm Mike What happened when the cosmetologist's eyebrow maintenance procedure was to burn them off? Razed a few eyebrows. 3/15/19, 3:19 pm Mike A full bowl of food in the kitchen but of course my cat Treaty would rather do this. 3/16/19, 2:56 pm Mike Why was the thief so good at burglarizing his neighbor from the road running behind their homes? Because it was right up his alley. Mike Knock Knock. Who's there? Luka Whey. Luka Whey who? Luka Whey & I'll sucker punch ya. LIGHTS OUT! 3/17/19, 1:14 am Mike Philosophical murder question. What if you plan on murdering somebody by running them off the road pushing them over a cliff. So you get behind the car and you do the deed. But it turns out someone had borrowed the person's car that you wanted to kill and you killed the wrong person. Is it murder? Or is it an accident and you would get charged with negligent manslaughter? Or something else? It was an accident cause you really didn't mean to kill that person. 3/17/19, 12:41 pm Allan When are you going to get your degree in law? Mike I'm working on becoming an honorary attorney without having to go to school. Maybe I can be grandfathered in because I'm so freaking smart. Mike If Biden runs I'm voting for president I'm voting for him him, notwithstanding he's a kiddie groper. It sounds like he's going to get in the race. have always liked him and I think he stands the best chance of beating Trump. But, anything can happen within 500+ days. 3/17/19, 10:52 pm Mike Here is an answer to my question about the crime. If someone kills someone while committing a felony, I think it's considered murder. So even if the victim was accidentally killed. It's MURDER! Mike What better way to honor the blessed Irish Saint Patrick than to get plastered out of your mind starting in the morning 'til closing time. See the emergency vehicle flashing lights at Ports o' Call from my balcony? Typical Saint Paddy's Day. Mike 3/17/19, 11:45 pm Allan What??? Have you been drinking? 3/18/19, 12:45 am Mike Not me. But, it's a huge drinking day & many people start early & some bars serve green beer. I'm Watching a Netflix movie called triple frontier. It's a pretty good action movie. Some of it doesn't seem real realistic but some parts of it are really intense. If you feel like an action flick, it's not too bad. 3/18/19, 2:19 am Mike Never mind that movie. 3/18/19, 9:05 am Allan haha 3/18/19, 11:31 pm Mike 1st day on the job. Red hat, red shirt, red shorts, red insulated delivery bag. GrubHub colors, but no GrubHub logos in case of an accident. Brown shoes complete the ensemble. The red outfit drives the ladies wild. Like a bull at a bull fight, they want to attack me & it hurts so good! 3/21/19, 12:53 am Allan What Job? Tell me!! 3/21/19, 10:11 am Mike I'm delivering restaurant food again. But for a different company called GrubHub. Part time. 3/22/19, 8:47 am Allan 3/22/19, 12:51 pm Mike I just remembered something funny I used to do at Lincoln Elementary School. Sometimes when I would get a hall pass to use the bathroom I would go in there and pee all over the floor instead of the toilet. I don't know why I did that. I think I thought it was funny. I was a little strange in that way. 3/23/19, 10:44 am Allan uh oh. 3/23/19, 11:53 am Mike I guess I should let you know that I gave up that weird behavior while I was still in elementary school. 3/24/19, 10:03 am Allan Whew. 3/24/19, 1:25 pm Mike Here is something interesting to me. My cat Gracie is the one that scratches and bites and I have to be careful around her but she's a lot better. But I think she really enjoys listening to me sing and play. Whenever I do she jumps up on the amplifier and just looks at me and then closes and opens her eyes almost like she's in a trance. Do you remember Shiner always sat with Mom on the piano bench when Mom played? 3/24/19, 9:38 pm Allan I do remember this! Thank you! In my whole adult life, I've never had a pet. Or even a plant. Sigh. 3/24/19, 9:55 pm Mike Having a pet(s) for you I think would be difficult. Mainly because you go away so much. Or you used to anyway. But for me I don't travel hardly ever and I'm not kidding when I tell you I feel so much better having these little guys in my life. I actually look forward to coming home now so I can see them and pet and play with them. It's really made a big difference in how I feel. When we hear that pets are great companions for older people, it's 100% true for me. I'm not lonely any more. 3/24/19, 11:21 pm Allan I'm kind of jealous. But I do go away periodically - last week I spent three days in Chicago, and the week after this I have to be in Washington DC for another three days - all about giving ""talk" on my work. P;us I spend my weekends with Elizabeth at HER house, out in Brooklyn. My life is busy and good but in many ways stupid. Do you let the cats out to play in the back yards or something? 3/25/19, 12:10 am Mike I don't let my cats out ever. Except if I take them somewhere in their carriers and I have a little cat play pin that I am going to take them out and let them be in parks but I haven't done it yet. I had to sign a promise when I adopted them they would be house cats and I would not let them out to run free because there's all kinds of problems outdoor cats cause and there's things that can happen to them as well. I am glad you reminded me because I've been stalling about letting them out in their play pin at a park so they can to see the outside world because my one cat might have a heart attack because she so scared of everything but the other 1 would probably be OK and actually will probly both be all right because once they're in that playpin they can't get out. I'll take a picture of it when I do it & send it to you. I'm glad to know that you are still with Elizabeth and I'm also glad to know that you're still going out and doing lectures about your work. You are a really good and enjoyable speaker and I think the way you present your talks is really good. I still remember a funny line he said at 1 of your talks. You were showing those little tiny men made out of plastic that you put under a microscope and took pictures of with a one of your friends. And when you were showing it during your lecture you said something like "I don't know the guy but I know his type." So funny that I've used it quite a few times. Mike Allen I can't remember if you subscribe to Amazon prime video. If you do I've just started a series that I really like called "The Widow." I've watched two episodes and they are. really good. It's a good story. 3/25/19, 10:46 am Allan Thanks! I'd like to recommend "The OA" on NetFlix - it's amazing. And also "The East" on Amazon. 3/25/19, 11:15 am Mike Thanks Allan. Mike is waving at you! Mike Allan, have you watched any of Amazon's "Tin Star?" I really like. I'm close to the end of the 1st season. I think the 2nd season. Tim Roth is great and so is the other guy. I don't know his name but this the third series I've seen him play a.villian. Hell in Wheels was one and the other was about the US Revolutionary War. He's a great villain. So creepy. 3/30/19, 11:46 pm Allan Thanks Mike! I love Tim Roth too . . . 4/1/19, 5:23 pm Mike Unfortunately I have gained lots of weight and I'm so tired. I took a video of myself today. 4/2/19, 11:46 am Mike My cats are so rude. Always taking liberties with my stuff. 4/2/19, 2:16 am Mike Have you seen the new horror movie where croquet game equipment come alive and terrorize the English countryside? "Something Wicket This Way Comes." 4/2/19, 6:01 pm Allan Oy. I'm croquet, you're croquet. Mike Nice. 4/3/19, 1:44 pm Mike Knock Knock Who's there? Wifi Wifi who? Wifight it baby, you know you love me. Why did the husband lay his wife down & then put money on her? Because she told him he could always count on her. 4/3/19, 5:57 pm Allan Her response to the knoock-knock: A sheep that's only slifghtly female. What do you mean? Ewe-ish! 4/3/19, 6:13 pm Allan Why did the man's wife tell him to put his money where his mouth is? Because she was tired of having sex with him without being paid. Mike EXCELLENT!! Mike But, why was she tired of having sex with him without being paid? Because she was a filthy whore! Mike 7%%Û 4/4/19, 7:29 pm Mike How do British fox hunters inventory their women of ill repute? Allan, you should get this one. 4/4/19, 10:16 pm Allan They Tally their Ho's. 4/4/19, 10:46 pm Mike I didn't think of that one. Just "Tally Ho!"

Mike Have you seen the new horror movie where the woven baskets rise from the landfill and terrorized the Amish community? "Something Wicker This Way Comes." Mike When the executioner said to the killer, "You deserve to die by this spike through your skull," he hit the nail right on the head. 4/7/19, 1:30 am Mike When the guy got impatient with his waiter, why did he then grab his female escort's sister? Because he thought his waiter told him to hold his whore's sis. Mike How did the guy respond when asked why he climbed up on his outhouse. "I can't remember off the top of my head." 4/8/19, 10:55 pm Allan LOL 4/14/19, 1:39 am Mike Allan this is not a trick question or a riddle. If you were working in your studio and two detectives showed up and wanted to ask you some questions because they were investigating a murder, what would you do? 4/19/19, 1:27 pm Mike 4/21/19, 1:18 pm Mike 4/24/19, 5:47 pm Mike What does it mean when a Chinese chef prepares a dish while enjoying a Tutti Frutti treat? It means he can wok and chew gum at the same time 4/24/19, 6:16 pm Mike What is displayed when trick or treaters cover Mister Philbin's house with chicken embryos? Egg Regis behavior. 4/25/19, 2:07 am Allan You win. 4/25/19, 2:58 pm Mike Hi Allan. I have a dash camera in my car now. A young woman T-boned me at an intersection the day before yesterday. I was okay but my car was not. She didn't seem to be injured but her car was also not okay. So I'm going to send you a video of what it looked like from my point of view and I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay before I sent it to you. 4/25/19, 7:54 pm Allan Holy shit. I'm glad you're OK. I can't believe you have a dash camera! Was she half asleep or what?? 4/25/19, 8:25 pm Mike She claimed that she applied her brakes and they wouldn't stop the car. But then she said something like "I tried to stop but my brakes failed. All I could hear was screeching." I know my tires weren't screeching. So I'm not sure what she meant but she admitted she was at fault & her insurance company also admitted. They're going to pay and so my insurance company is going to work out with her insurance company to make everything right Mike I've had a dash camera for probably about 6 years now. I just bought a real nice one & I'm glad I had it. If she had tried to claim it was not her fault, I would have the video evidence that it was. That's why I have the dash cam. Mike How are you feeling Allan? 4/25/19, 10:38 pm Allan I'm not feeling too good. Walking with a cane. But my career is OK. Not selling, but showing. Trying to feel good. I wake up depressed every morning, but then close my eyes and work on remembering what art feels like to feel good. And it usually works! A new trick I just figured out a couple of years ago! Mike Why are you using a cane? I think you might have told us in an email but I can't remember. 4/26/19, 12:50 am Allan Oh, I thought I told you. I think I did, you told about the problems you had in the past. Something is wrong with my back, it hurts when I walk to much. The cane helps reduce the weight. I have to see a doctor, but I keep making excuses to myself. I think I told you, I needed to be in a wheelchair for my airport travels to Chicago, where I went to have a talk. Really embarrassing to be pushed around in a wheelchair! Enter 4/26/19, 9:57 am Mike I remember now. No more excuses. You better see a doctor. Love, Mike 4/30/19, 7:36 pm Mike Alan this is a picture of what I was trying to describe to you that helps take pressure off your back. 5/4/19, 9:33 pm Allan Hmmm. OK.

Here's a robokiller response to a telemarketer using robokiller Donald Trump voice. Hilarious. 5/11/19, 1:23 PM Mike Why is it rude to say to somebody "Step away from the bucket." Because it's beyond the pail. Why can't a guy have sex with his Crest Whitening Gel? It's like trying to put the tube back in the toothpaste 5/11/19, 2:23 pm Allan Wow, twice a day. 5/11/19, 2:48 pm Mike I am on a roll.

Mssing sound 0:09 5/12/19, 5:10 pm Mike 5/14/19, 3:04 am Mike Alan I think you have Amazon prime. It has a movie called Out of Time with Denzel Washington. Have you ever seen it? Iv'e seen it a few times and it's a really good thriller. Lot of good back stabbing and just a good story and on the edge of your seat type. I think you'd really like it if you've never seen it. It's midnight right now and I'm just starting it because I can't sleep and I'm not tired yet 5/14/19, 1:09 pm Mike What do you call it when you discover you have lice?

This is starting to get very annoying. 5/20/19, 9:45 pm Mike Here are two I think most of you will solve. 1. When the cook was running late, why couldn't he include the final herb in the beef stew? 2. With nothing else to do, what does Cyndi Lauper have after munching a woody, low- growing herb? 5/21/19, 12:26 am Allan He was out of thyme, and she had thyme after thyme. And don't give me no more chives. 5/21/19, 2:04 am Mike You got the first one right.Good work. 5/21/19, 11:12 am Allan !! The second one I got wrong?? 5/21/19, 11:45 am Mike Why is it hard to take a corn and herb farmer seriously? They're always shuckin' and chivein'. Mike And, yes you got the second one wrong. It's time after thyme. Focus Allan. Mike Allan, I think you need a fun vacation. Instead of Florida, think about Scarborough Fair. Mike Allan, I just wrote an awesome new song. "Are You Going to Scarfaces Fair" Are you going to Scarface's Fair Parties rage. Rosemary it's time. Remember me the hitman lives there. She once was a victim of mine. 5/21/19, 8:23 pm Allan I'm going to sue this guy for all he's worth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfm5gqeaVlM Allan McCollum Symmetry and Asymmetry Project for Kindergarten youtube.com 5/21/19, 11:49 pm Mike Allan, that is so wonderful. Teaching your ideas to children. The best I have ever felt about my musicianship is when people have told me that I influenced them as children to become musicians. There have been several in my life. I'm not sure if I can think of anything more rewarding in my life. I'm sure it makes you feel great. Do you know the teacher? 5/22/19, 12:32 am Allan I know, it's a wonderaful feeling. And I don't know this teacher at all, that's one of the nicest things - that he knows my work somewhere far away. It makes me feel like I'm helping children, yes - such a great feeling. 5/22/19, 2:16 am Mike Have you contacted him to say thanks? If not and you want to, his email address is: ecelarier@gmail.com 5/23/19, 12:47 am Mike When is it hard to tell that someone's twin is a cop? When it's a bed. It's always under cover. 5/23/19, 1:19 am Allan When it was discovered that the cop's sleepover was a queen, he was transferred to wetness protection. 5/23/19, 10:19 am Mike LOL LOL LOL One of your best. 5/23/19, 11:39 am Mike Why did one investor control the corn farming corporation?

Allan I'm pretty sure you've gotten a job working for NBC news, and wrote the line"It was a clean getaway" here: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/massachusetts- man-says-someone-broke-his-home-cleaned-it-n1009291 Mike I would never have written a line so obvious. But I did make a poem from the word sweep in one of my Ibul Shichunot stories. Unless you've ever watch the Winter Olympics you might not get these two puns. It's from a story where he's bragging about winning the Winter Olympics. "Next Winter Olympics I will no doubt win the luge competition because I'm a laid-back kind of guy and you can bet on my clean s weep in the curling event." Mike I changed his name to Ike Shichunot or I. Shichunot. It's way more understandable. And I have some ideas to do some funny (I hope) videos on YouTube with Ike. Mike I've written a Christmas parody called I'm Beginning to Look a lot like Chris........ Christie. He will not like it. 5/24/19, 12:17 pm Mike Hi Allan. Here are four photos of artwork by Lou's wife, Candice Gawne. A show of hers is opening tomorrow in LA and these will be in the show. It's really interesting stuff I think. She said that it's a technique that was used 2000 years ago. The technique uses layers of wax somehow. And they look kind of 3D in person. 5/24/19, 3:29 pm Allan Why did the detective have so little trouble finding the clue which lead to the capture of the murderer who left a corpse at the Goodwill? Because the murderer left a dead giveaway. 5/24/19, 6:39 pm Allan What do you call the chowder that is sitting on the table in front of Senator Thurmond? The clam before the Strom. 5/24/19, 9:28 pm Allan How do you describe the man who wasn't remotely interested in turning around to face the cowboy who was in the process of beginning to shoot him with his pistol? Back to the drawing, bored. Mike Your riddles are getting really good. Allan I agree. The dumber my riddles get, the better. Allan What was the newspaper headline for the story about a man in Prague who stood up in court to make a formal statement? Czech pleas. 5/24/19, 10:16 pm Mike And what was he called when found guilty of scamming a retailer with insufficient funds in his account? The Bad Czech. What did the songbird sing to her mate when he flatulated in the nest? Did you ever know that you're a zero? And everything I would never be. You must be high as Jeanine Pirro Cuz you broke wind beneath my wings. 5/25/19, 1:36 pm Mike https://www.evensi.us/exhibition-candice-gawne- south-bay-contemporary-gallery/307374172 Exhibition: Candice Gawne - 25 May 2019 evensi.us I am going to her opening this afternoon.

The Me, I'm I joke is only for the McCollum's. 5/31/19, 4:28 pm Mike Why did the cops look for the transgender criminal outside the U.S? Because they heard he was a broad. 6/1/19, 1:53 pm Mike Name a famous world traveler named "Walker." It's the Medical Delux Two-Button Folding Walker With 5" Wheels. Mike Why did the loser by false teeth adhesive to do his auto body work? Because the label said "Fixadent." Sorry. That may have been a bridge too far. Individual works. Mike Mike McCollum sent you an invite to join Messenger. 6/2/19, 1:18 pm Mike How does Walker, Texas Ranger, deal with a beggar on the streets? When a panhandler panhandles he'll handle a pan, then handle the panhandler by smacking the panhandler with a pan handle in the Texas Panhandle. 6/2/19, 2:34 pm Allan A good Sunday morning laugh! 6/3/19, 12:04 am Mike Here is my latest and I hope it's difficult. With grave injuries, a vet was brought into the Veterans Hospital. Looking shocked, the doctor yelled"Oh God, attacked by a mad cow!" And, he was right, but nobody had told him. How could he have possibly known? 6/3/19, 1:11 pm Mike Nobody has gotten it so here is the solution: The injured guy was a veteran and a livestock veterinarian. He was the doctor who was shocked and called out he had been attacked by a mad cow. Was that so hard? 6/5/19, 12:36 pm Mike Jeremy and his young girlfriend. 6/10/19, 10:50 am Mike ??

I love it! But I will have to bring a lawsuit against them, for stealing my ideas. 6/11/19, 4:28 pm Mike Hi Allan. I was watching "First Amendment Audits" on Youtube and that one came up. Any settlement or Judgment you get is subject to my Finder's Fee of 50% which I'm sure you agree is fair. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! 6/13/19, 2:03 am Mike Allan, if you've never seen The Electric Mist it's on Netflix.I've watched it many times & I'm watching it now. It is soooo good!!

Now I know. 6/16/19, 8:00 pm Allan Hey Mike - what is the name of that movies you recommended? Allan AH, "The Electric Mist" . . . 6/16/19, 9:39 pm Mike Yes. 6/16/19, 10:30 pm Allan I just watched it - it's great. I look forward to other recommendations! I loved that John Sayles was in it, it made perfect sense . . . Mike Great. I thought you would like it. Allan Re John Sayles, I recommend "Lone Star" . . . Mike Re John Sayles I recommend Matewan. Its another one Ive watched a lot of times. Mike I may have seen Lonestar I'm going to have to double-check. Mike I just watched a trailer of Lone Star. I'm pretty sure I have never seen it so I will try to find it and watch it for sure. Thanks Allan. 6/17/19, 6:45 pm Allan I haven't seen Matewan, I'll watch it next weekend with Elizabeth! Allan It's interesting, that we both like to see movies more than two or three times. One of those for me is "You Can Count on Me." And also "Margaret," a LONG movie, by the same director (Kenneth Lonergan), but it's so great. 6/17/19, 8:13 pm Mike Ok great. I'll find them. Here's one for you t hat I've seen many times. "Murphy's Romance" with Sally Field and James Garner. Mike Laura Linney. I should have known. 6/17/19, 8:40 pm Mike I'm watching Margaret first. It looks really good. 6/18/19, 1:28 am Mike Allan I really liked the movie. It did not seem too long to me. The Musical soundtrack really caught my attention and normally movies don't do that. The last scene at the Opera had me spellbound and I watched it four times. Thanks Allan. Love, =Mike= 6/18/19, 11:33 pm Allan Oh Mike, I'm really happy you liked it. Yes, the last scene at the opera - so wonderful. It tied everything together and brought a lot of tears. Lonergan often suggests that there is no way at all to ever get completely over certain sadnesses, guilts, hurts. No matter how hard you try, and for how long. One thing that's nice, it says a lot about living in New York, which when one lives here, one sees. The writer/director Kenneth Lonergan is also a playwriter, and growing up in New York is often part of the undercurrent. He even wrote the screenplay for, "The Gangs of New York"! There is a really nice interview with him here: "The Gangs of New York"! Kenneth Lonergan by Rachel Kushner - BOMB Magazine bombmagazine.org 6/19/19, 4:33 pm Mike My cats. I've got them in training for the synchronized sleeping event at the next animal Olympics where they'll be going for the gold. 6/22/19, 2:53 pm Mike I'm taking pencil sketching lessons.

Thank you so much for recommending Murphy's Romance. I loved it. Thank you. 6/26/19, 12:46 am Mike I'm really glad you liked it. I just thought of another one I've watched several times. "Trip to Bountiful." The main character reminds me of Grammy. I think it's Geraldine Paige. It's a great story. 6/26/19, 4:26 pm Mike Oh my gosh I think there are some alien bugs that got into my leg. 6/28/19, 12:00 am Allan Everything will be OK. 6/28/19, 1:48 am Allan Look what I found online. Don't tell anyone. http://artarchives.net/1/allan_mccollum_net_worth2.html Allan McCollum Net Worth artarchives.net 6/28/19, 3:08 pm Mike 6/28/19, 3:51 pm Allan !!!! - I made up the webpage as a joke, but where did this Trending Celeb page come from? Jesus! I thought was the one making stuff up!!!! One thing I just figured out, I don't know why it took me so long. If Elizaabeth Warren becomes president, it will be like our mother and father being in charge of the country. 6/28/19, 5:30 pm Mike I hope you haven't put that thing you made up on Facebook. if people believe you really have that much money, me and Chuck would be subject to kidnapping for ransom from you. That probably would not work out so well for us. I found that other net worth figure by searching for where you might have got the information that you made up. 6/28/19, 6:05 pm Allan I only sent it to my girlfriend and to you! 6/28/19, 7:01 pm Mike Great. 6/30/19, 3:46 pm Allan Elizabeth and I watched "Trip to Bountiful"! I can totally see how it reminded you of Grammy! It was like watching a play, we thought. Nice. 6/30/19, 4:44 pm Mike Yes I've watched it for quite a few years now and it's never caused me any problems. And the movies are free. One of the parts that I liked in Trip to Bountiful was on the bus when the main character was telling the girl she had met about how her father would not let her be with a boy that she loved probably 40 or 50 years in the past. And she was still upset about it and it made her cry. That was really poignant I thought. It made a really good point that we aren't always able to forget things emotionally and they will stay with us and there's nothing we can do about it. 6/30/19, 5:29 pm Allan Yes, that was there. It's also in that movie "You Can Count on Me," how things stay with us . . . 7/2/19, 2:26 pm Mike Allan, look at this website free stuff you can get: HOME NEWS ENTERTAINMENT KIDS SPORTS LEGAL CONTACT MSNBC Live Fox News Live CNN Live Stream ESPN TNT Showtime HBO Tennis Channel Golf Channel NFL Network Lifetime Cartoon Network Comedy Central Animal Planet Turner Classic Movies BBC America Syfy Food Network Starz TLC One America News Network Travel Channel Bravo TV Land TBS Freeform Nickelodeon Investigation Discovery Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Disney Channel FX Channel Live Stream USA Network Live Stream The CW Live Stream AMC Live Stream National Geographic Live Stream A&E Live Stream Hallmark Channel Live Stream PBS Live Stream HGTV Live Stream History Channel Live Stream Discovery Channel Live Stream FOX Channel Live Stream NBC Live Stream CBS Live Stream ABC Live Stream Weather Channel Live Stream Fox Business Network Live CNBC Live MSNBC Live Fox News Live CNN Live Stream Home News entertainment Kids Sports Legal Contact Copyright © USTV247.

Mike Send me some animal crackers. Allan I don't have one of those kid-stuff i-phones. I'm an old man. Mike I did not invite you to Messenger. You already use it. I don't know why that happened. I think my cell phone invited your cell phone. But you don't have a cell phone so the invitation is moot. 7/9/19, 1:43 am Allan lol 7/10/19, 12:14 am Mike Allan have you heard of Britbox? 7/10/19, 12:16 pm Allan No. ?? 7/10/19, 2:01 pm Mike OK. Mike Hi Allan. Check your email for an early birthday present. And now I'm off to an optometrist to get some new glasses. Love, =Mike= Enter 7/12/19, 12:51 am Mike Allan, have you taken a look at Britbox yet? 7/12/19, 10:21 am Allan OH! No! I keep meaning to open the email, it's just that I've been preparing for an "interview" today that is freaking me out. It starts 2-1/2 hours, with a museum curator, and I think it's going to be awful. I've been setting everything aside, trying to prepare. I'll get to the email this afternoon! Britbox! What a funny word! Mike It wont be awful Allan. You'll do great. Love, Mike 7/12/19, 10:11 pm Allan Well, it wasn't "awful" exactly - but not the best, by far. Love, Allan Mike Were you unprepared? Nervous?' 7/13/19, 12:49 am Allan Some of his questions were sort of irrelevant, but he was a young guy, very smart. It was just that his interests in my work were different than my own interests in my work, at times. I'll get to edit it, after his assistants transcribe it. Still, I've had interviews that were much more interesting to me. Mike So you're work can hold interest in more ways than one. That sounds like a good thing to me. I'm watching this series on Britbox now. I just started with episode one last night and now I'm on to episode 2. It's really good. It's the King Tut one. The Heist at Hatton Garden is really good too. I've watched it already. 7/13/19, 1:24 pm Allan I just binge watched all six episodes of the fourth season of "Shetland"! (I'd seen the first three seasons when they were on Netflix!) 7/13/19, 2:01 pm Mike Nice. 7/14/19, 2:25 pm Mike Allan, do you have power? 7/14/19, 3:39 pm Allan I have total power in the art world! 7/14/19, 6:51 pm Mike YES YOU DO!!

I always wondered why I was so amazing. And now I know. Thanks Allan. Mike McCollum invited you to Messenger. 7/15/19, 7:37 pm Allan Mike, every time I've tried to get onto Britbox today, this is what i get. Is this happening to you? I'm having no such trouble with Netflix or any other website. Mike Allan, I just signed in to Britbox and I was able to. I even made sure by bringing up Shetland Season 5, Episode 1. There is a customer service phone number you can call and they've always been responsive to me. I call them to find out how to pay for your subscription and there was a number I think on the homepage that I called. If you want me to call them for you, I will just let me know. Enter 7/15/19, 8:17 pm Allan I guess you can call them, OK, if you know how to demo that. When I sign on it has my name up there, though, and I'm "signed in," and I've watched all of Shetland Season 4. Completely. Are you saying you think that maybe the payment didn't, go through? Or maybe their New York connection is broken? \ I tried other programs and the same thing happened. Mike I don't know why it's happening. I think if my payment had not gone through you would never have been able to watch anything. They would not have sent me the code that I forwarded to you. I don't think it's my payment I think something on your end but I don't know what. But I do think it's probably best if you contact them because it is your account with your information, your user ID & password. If you contacting them fails, I will try to help you with it. Allan I just tried three more totally different TV shows - same thing happens. Allan This never happened with you? Mike It has never happened to me. Allan Hmmm. One of the "help" sentences says "Go to your profile online" - but there is no access to any profile. Mike I'll contact them. What's your user name and password? Allan Oh, now I found my "profile" - but non help there Mike I'll contact them. What's your user name and password? Allan allanmcnyc@aol.com and Thankstoyou2 Mike OK. I will let you know what happens. Allan Thanks Mike 7/15/19, 9:01 pm Allan OH! I closed down and restarted, and now it works!!! Thanks!! I wonder if I have to do this every time I want to watch something! Thanks Mike! Mike Yay!! I hope that you won't have to do it every time. I don't think that you will. 7/16/19, 1:26 pm Mike https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct= j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DwfJtnf G6EMI&ved=2ahUKEwisk8Ke-rnjAhWXPM0KHZSTAyIQ npsCMAJ6BAgDEAU&usg=AOvVaw2p17BXB0x7qV0wzy7 iUn2d&cshid=1563297834254 A Simple Plan - Trailer youtube.com Hi Allan here's another movie I think you would like. it's called "A Simple Plan" and it stars Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda, & others. It's about these backwoods guys who discover a plane that crashed in the snow with 4 million dollars in drug money and what happens after that. I've watched it lots of times and again last night. It's on Amazon.com. https://www.amazon.com/?fbclid=IwAR3_aTX2hRWXN7 nT4qbDJeQLGKfQAsywtWCWBehwyIwzYtltyb4Ij5iAsBQ Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more amazon.com 7/16/19, 7:27 pm Allan Thank you! 7/17/19, 4:05 pm Mike I just saw a fight that was so brutal a guy was getting his face pulverised! It was so bad I had to step in and stop it .... from being broken up by anyone any so I could video it and post it on YouTube. Mike 7/17/19, 4:39 pm Allan I can't tell when you're kidding and when you're not kidding. Mike I was kidding. Usually when someone says they stepped in to a fight it means they're breaking it up. It doesn't mean they're stepping in to take video. It was a joke. 7/20/19, 12:07 pm Mike Allan, I just heard there are cooling stations in New York if you need to go to 1. Do you have air conditioning in your loft? 7/20/19, 12:52 pm Allan No, but Elizabeth has two. I'm hoping I can make it over to her Brooklyn place today without fainting. Mike, because you live in L.A , like in an extended "desert" area, you have NO idea what super high humidity does to one. When I first moved here I actually bought baby powder every summer and rubbed it all over my body every day, to feel normal and sane. It's a nightmare here when it becomes super hot and humid. At this moment, as I type, drips of sweat are running down my body. 7/20/19, 2:06 pm Mike Please get over to Elizabeth's. I experienced hot, high humidity in Miami Beach probably about 45 years ago and I never want to experience it again. It was awful. 7/21/19, 12:33 am Mike Allan, do you know a "family practitioner" named Liza Kazan? She sent me a "friend" request on Facebook and our one mutual friend is you. I'm pretty sure I don't know her, although her name s ounds a little familiar. Who is she? 7/21/19, 1:56 am Mike This is photoa that covers a whole wall in a restaurant I pick up from sometimes. It is a view of somewhere in Shanghai I was told. Maybe in the fifties or sixties. I really like the photo. And, I look forward to seeing the wall whenever I go there. 7/21/19, 3:42 am Allan Don't you mean Lisa instead of Liza? Lisa was that woman that was a waitress at the Troubadour, back in the late 60s, early 70s. You knew her through me. Remember? She's a little crazy now in her old age . . . New life turned out to be sad . . Allan "Her," NOT "NEW" - JESUS She's very ill, and probably not long to live . . . Mike Yes. It's Lisa. Now I remember her. In my opinion she was crazy back then. I think through you I was her roommate for a very short period In Hollywood. I wasn't all that grounded or stable back then either. And, I'm sorry to hear that she is so sick. Lisa Kazan family practitioner at ice castles international traing center, ice skaters á UC Davis School of Medicine - Placerville, California - 1 mutual friend 94 friends - 11 groups 7/22/19, 8:14 pm Mike "Why did you think you'd be found innocent of stealing your associate's necklace?" "Because I heard criminals can always have jewelry of their peers." "It's not jewelry of your peers you freakin' moron. It's jury of your peers!" 7/23/19, 1:13 am Allan You clearly are a paralegal. 7/24/19, 10:09 pm Mike All this talk about political conspiracy and complicity is hurting my head and I gotta get away. More succinctly, I need collusion conclusion confusion contusion seclusion. 7/24/19, 11:21 pm Allan You got the Collusion Blues. Mike Missed video chat 11:23 PM Mike Missed video chat 11:29 PM 7/26/19, 1:00 am Mike How did the information become public about the urgical removal of the beauty spot? There was a mole in the operation. 7/26/19, 9:07 am Allan lol 7/26/19, 2:05 pm Mike Why did the guy think pickles were spying on him from the sky and monitoring his every move? Because he was dill-usional. Enter 7/26/19, 3:22 pm Allan Why did the cat jump in fear when he saw a boy with crazy brown hair? Because he afraid of Kook Umber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXv44YL_Gio Funny cats scared of cucumbers - cat vs cucumber compilation youtube.com So funny. One of my cats is not just afraid of cucumbers, she's afraid of everything - animate or inanimate. 7/27/19, 12:51 am Mike Republicans love Donald Trump. When he says "Hop to it!" they jump. But they're flirting with death Cuz they can't catch their breath With their noses so far up his rump! 7/27/19, 1:05 pm Mike 7/27/19, 8:38 pm Mike 7/27/19, 11:52 pm Mike One on the left.

Casey and Amelia on the first day of school. 8/20/19, 5:06 pm Allan You're so lucky to have a beautiful son and beautiful grandkids! Allan So, in Colorado you can wear shorts to school?? Mike Apparently so. When I was in high school, if a girl showed up in a skirt that short, they would have been sent home immediately. Mike And, yes I am very lucky. My grandkids like me. Mike I think the rule for skirts was no more than one inch above the knees. And, here is something funny. When hippy girls started wearing long skirts down to their f eet, Aviation banned skirts that we're too long!! We just can't win. Mike It was like the strike zone in baseball. Any skirt lower than your ankles or higher than your knees is a strike and YOU'RE OUT! Mike Did you know what the baseball strike zone was? If not you should probably move to another country because how can you call yourself a true American without knowing a basic fundamental of baseball rules. But, don't move, to Greenland because Trump might buy it for us. 8/20/19, 6:25 pm Allan Between my shoulders and my knees? Yes? Or maybe where union members hold their demonstrations? Mike It took me longer than usual to get the joke. Good one. Mike As a baseball player, what's better: a high ball, or a low ball? A highball is best. It's a refreshing drink. A lowball is simply someone wants to pay you less than something is worth. Ha Ha Ha! 8/21/19, 11:09 pm Mike My newest cartoon. 8/21/19, 11:39 pm Allan Ugh! Mike You're welcome. 9/1/19, 1:08 pm Mike Hi Allan. I need to thank you about something. I told you awhile ago that I had been sleeping on the floor and don't have a bed. You seemed kind of bummed out about that. So I started using a fold out bed that I have had for a couple of years but never used it. It is so comfortable. So I'm not on the floor anymore Allan and I have a very comfortable bed to sleep on. Thanks for the wake up call. Get it? Wake up call? It's a pun. Because you wake up on a bed. And you gave me a wake up call. And I was talking about a bed. Get it? It was a pun. Mike And what do you call a good pun? Punderful. Beto O'rourke was interviewing with Dana Bash of CNN and he said during a conversation about gun control "It's fucked up." And they didn't bleep it. What is this world coming to? 9/1/19, 1:35 pm Allan Don't let the bedbugs bite! Mike Bedbugs have been gone for 2 years exactly. I keep my fingers crossed.

It's called "Case 39" with Renee Zellweger & Bradley Cooper. It's on Amazon Prime Videos. You'll like it if you haven't seen it already. 9/8/19, 12:13 pm Allan Thanks! I love Renee Zellweger. I'll watch it! I've just discovered this writer/director, Mike Mills. "Beginners" is on Amazon, and "20th Century Women" is on Netflix. Such great films! Mike Thanks for the tip. Have you seen Renee Zellweger lately? She had some facial work and she doesn't even look like the same person anymore. I like the way she used to look better. Case 39 is before her surgery. 9/9/19, 6:30 pm Allan Why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael, why Michael . . .

Mike I thought that little girl in the movie was a terrific actor Mike 9/10/19, 11:15 am Allan Haha, yes, I liked it! It scared Elizabeth to death, so she demanded we watch something else right after, so she could get over it! Mike Elizabeth needs to toughen up. What she doesn't realize is that the movie will stay in her subconscious forever and she can't get rid of it by watching a comedy. 9/19/19, 10:57 am Mike Allan, you will never guess what this is.. Mike Yes you will. I just realized it was labeled. It's a sculpture of a "broiler chicken" at the Denver public library. 9/20/19, 11:01 am Allan WHAT??!! How weird is Colorado! 9/20/19, 12:00 pm Mike The artist gave a pretty good explanation as to why she made that giant chicken sculpture but of course I don't remember what it was.

Does he have no shame? What a slime bucket! 9/26/19, 12:05 pm Mike Allan, I have never seen these. Are they new? Mike Have you seen this? On Ebay it's described as, "A painting that feels inspired by Allan McCollum." Another question: Do paintings have feelings, and can p aintings feel inspired? 9/26/19, 1:44 pm Allan No, I haven't seen this, haha! So I posted it on Facebook! Yes, paintings have feelings. So please be kind and sensitive when you speak to a painting, and be inspirational. Mike Paintings are people too. Allan Paint lives matter.

What do you call kittens in PJs? Cats in Jammas Kids. In case you don't know, The episode of S.W.A.T that Chuck is in is on tomorrow night I believe at 10 o'clock your time on CBS. If you don't get CBS on your television, I have a way you can stream it if you want to. 10/1/19, 6:37 pm Allan I don't have TV - how can I watch this? Allan I'm having a hard time understanding Cats in Jammas Kids.. Mike Try: ustv247.tv/watch-cbs-live-stream/ CBS Live Stream - USTV247 ustv247.tv Mike Do you not remember "The Katzenjammer Kids"? It was a comic strip started in 1897 and was still being published in the funny papers when we were kids. 10/1/19, 9:24 pm Allan I897????? It sort of sounds familiar, but I don't think I ever read it! Well,maybe. Wow, I didn't know I could watch TV on my laptop!!! Thank you!!! 10/2/19, 3:00 pm Mike 10/2/19, 3:39 pm Allan 10/2/19, 6:52 pm Mike The great, great Brenda Lee: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yp8NghbrixA Brenda Lee belts out an amazing version of Hurt youtube.com 10/2/19, 7:32 pm Allan I love her to death.

It's really good. Wild and a little bizarre but good. Dennis Quaid is excellent. 10/6/19, 12:32 pm Allan Seriously? OK, I'll try it. 10/6/19, 2:11 pm Mike Sometimes I haven't liked Dennis Quaid's acting but he's playing a bad guy character really well in the series. 10/6/19, 3:41 pm Allan I've pretty much always liked the guy . . . 10/8/19, 7:44 pm Mike You have got to see Downton Abbey. I think it's one of the movies that grabbed me more than any movie I've seen in a very long time. It's amazing! 10/9/19, 4:26 pm Allan OK! When it has subtitles! 10/9/19, 5:08 pm Mike I think it will probably end up on Amazon Prime or Netflix soon. Its too bad you can't see it on the big screen. It's magnificent. Can you not enjoy a movie at a theater even with your hearing aides on? 10/10/19, 1:05 pm Mike Here's one not to be shared with anyone. Always remember: You can lead a whore to water. And you can make her drink it (after you've slapped her around a few times). 10/10/19, 6:50 pm Mike Puzzle: Loves to play rapidly. Might make it on an Olympic team. Hinders the reading of documents. Loves polyurethane. What am I? 10/10/19, 7:39 pm Allan A faster tracker plastic redactor. Mike That was awesome Allan. Good one. But, it's actually only one word. You might be too old to know how the word is used in three of the hints. Mike Let me know if you give up. Your answer is way more creative than mine. 10/10/19, 11:34 pm Mike OK. The word is "shredder." An electric guitarist who plays fast is shredding. Snowboarders shred and snowboarding competitions are in the winter Olympics now. Skateboarders also shred and their wheels are made of polyurethane. And I don't have to explain hindering the reading of documents. So there you have it. 10/11/19, 12:07 pm Allan Well, you're right. I would NEVER have guessed that! 10/11/19, 5:21 pm Mike Why was the detective not fooled by the woman who disguised herself as a man? Because things appeared to be a miss. 10/11/19, 6:09 pm Mike 10/11/19, 6:30 pm Allan OK, I'll never call you hourglass head. Peanut head. Mike You are really askin' for it.

Thrive Drew At the Drive Thru. 10/17/19, 11:50 pm Mike Treat is not happy with Gracie. She got up on the back of my chair which is Treat's spot. So Treat started giving her the evil eye and then she jumped down off the chair and they started to rumble. I had to break it up by throwing a roll of paper towels at them. Things got a little tense there for a minute. There doesn't appear to be any hard feelings between them. Just a normal evening in the crib. 10/18/19, 6:46 am Allan It must be so interesting having room mates! Enter 10/21/19, 2:20 pm Mike One of my cats got me while I was in bed this morning.

Sadly, I don't have a clue Mike And you had the right answer of grossness. My answer was simply "Gross" but your answer works. Good job. 10/28/19, 3:11 pm Allan It's clearly his most famous poem: https://www.howlnewyork.com/post/poets- corner-howl-by-allen-ginsberg Poets Corner: Howl by Allen Ginsberg howlnewyork.com 10/30/19, 2:26 pm Mike Reply with a GIF 11/1/19, 4:47 pm Allan Hmmmm,.

He must be conserving is energy so he can terrorize me all night long. 11/9/19, 1:27 pm Mike We all know that german shepards are very smart.

Just in time for Chtistmas. If a lot get sold and more are needed, will you be in charge of making them? I've never seen one in that pill shape. Allan I wonder! Every time they sell one, I'm supposed to get 7%. The museum had them made in China. We didn't agree on any limit, etc. It's kind of fun for me! Although everyone in the art world may now think I've "sold out," haha. They engraved my signature in the back.

Maybe this will be your retirement fund. Wouldn't that be absolutely great. And they can sell them all over the world right? Mike Is there a provision in your contract that you have the right to audit their books whenever you want to? 11/10/19, 3:03 pm Allan Haha, no . . . I get $2.52 for each sale! So if they sell a million, I'll get $2,520,000! But probably they'll sell like 600 or something! 11/10/19, 3:36 pm Mike I'm going to think they will sell way more than 600. How did you come up with 600? Mike Do you at least have the right to know how many are made? Would you like me to be your business consultant? I'm sure you are aware of my business acumen. Now I've got to finish cutting my prescription pills in half so they will last longer. 11/10/19, 8:06 pm Allan I totally trust the museum! Anyway, I didn't really get into it for the money. It just makes me feel good, and maybe helps people remember who I am as an artist. I've done many versions of this "Visible Marker" idea, and never for money. The first time I did an edition, I gave 100 of them away! Mike You gave me one of your big ones. And, maybe a set of small ones. I bought some small ones and gave them to every one in my office one Christmas. They were popular around the office that year. Allan Wow! 11/11/19, 2:50 pm Mike You forgot to answer my German Shepherd riddle, so here's the answer: The answer is simple. The master owns a sheep farm & his servant that watched over the sheep was German. German shepherd. Get it? GOT YA!! 11/12/19, 11:19 pm Mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yhe9tXoDO8&feature=share DoorDash Delivery Driver Takes Drink of Customers Milkshake, Caught on Camera youtube.com Mike I assure you that's not me. 11/13/19, 1:01 am Allan Apparently posting this would now be illegal in Texas. https://www.insider.com/unsolicited-dick-pic-sending- now-illegal-texas-500-fine-bumble-2019-9 11/13/19, 7:16 pm Mike [un-downloadable sound] 0:40 My latest original song: "Pupil Haze." 11/14/19, 11:26 am Mike So if I'm in Texas and someone asks me to send them a picture of my beautiful penis, I won't get arrested if I do? And, of course, I get asked for that regularly. But, if I send one without being asked, I'm going to prison? But, what if a free-thinking woman sends me unsolicited naked photos of her? Is she in trouble too? Or just us virile studs? Mike And, Anthony Weiner better not come within 1,000 miles of Texas! 11/14/19, 12:33 pm Allan 11/14/19, 5:13 pm Mike My idea of a perfect phone call: Hello how ya doin'? Great! You? Great! Bye now. Bye. 11/14/19, 11:09 pm Allan I didn't realize you were as sociophobic as I am. 11/15/19, 6:39 pm Mike Chuck and Allan, I have not written yet or contacted Polly. I will write to her soon. Have either of you? I texted condolences to Abigail, but that's all. 11/17/19, 11:13 am Mike Why was the penthouse nightclub so hard to compete with? They set the bar high. 75550320_460142197966490_3090053069086392320_n.jpg 11/17/19, 11:54 am Allan Makes sense. People go into bars to get high. You replied to Mike Original message: Chuck and Allan, I have not written yet or contacted Polly. I will write... I haven't either... 11/17/19, 12:23 pm Mike It makes sense also because they're closer to the pink clouds. Why should you go to the ER if your cat scratches you? Its claws for concern. 11/17/19, 2:26 pm Allan Me? Yow! Mike Good one but can we paws the puns for a while? Allan Great idea. Purrfect. 11/17/19, 4:37 pm Mike more mincing words. Why do Repugnicans have such a hard time telling the truth? It's hard to tell anything when you can't breathe cuz your nose is so far up President Trump's giant, fat ass! 11/18/19, 11:05 am Mike Yesterday it got up to 88ß here. This morning I woke up and I said to myself "man it's warm in here already." I walked in the kitchen and I had left one of the burners on all fricken night. Shael told me to remember this: "Don't let the old man in." Good advice. 11/18/19, 11:34 am Allan Yikes, Mike. 11/18/19, 12:01 pm Mike YIKES Is right! 11/18/19, 12:58 pm Mike Dont let the old man in. 11/18/19, 8:08 pm Mike My new joke: When people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a food and beverage manager. I manage to eat and drink all food and beverage in sight. I'm not sure if my jokes are getting stronger or weaker. Don't answer that. Allan 11/18/19, 11:25 pm Mike 11/19/19, 2:56 pm Mike The City spends millions of dollars for beautification across the street from me. And here's what we get. In case you can't read the graffiti, it says, "Fuck a fake bitch." So special. This is San Pedro. 11/20/19, 12:12 pm Mike What was Trump's response when asked about Rudy Giuliani's role in the Ukraine scandal? "Rudy Giuliwho?" Mike I made a life- changing decision today. I joined the Mafia. 11/22/19, 4:53 pm Mike "OK boys and girls. Let's all line up and get our daily, morning slap in the face. We all know you're going to screw up at some point today, so let's get it over with first thing 11/22/19, 10:35 pm Mike Did my newest email to you work? This is the gallery that is owned by a woman who really likes your work. She was very aware of you before I met her. Mike Hi Allan. I can't remember if you have Netflix but if you do a movie called The Gift is really good if you've never seen it. It's right up our alley for movies. I even like Keaanu Reeves acting in it which normally I don't. 11/23/19, 12:10 am Allan I've always loved Keanu Reeves! So I'll watch it. Thanks And no, there wasn't any way to access that list of artists you tried to send . . . I just watched all 8 episodes of "Unbelievable," on Netflix. Really good. 11/23/19, 12:30 am Mike I just finished it too. Really good. 3 days ago. I had never seen the issue of rape and what a woman goes through afterwards portrayed like it was in that series. It was really an eye opener. It wasn't a list of artists it was a show that's ending Sunday t hat I think included 3 artists. One of the photos reminded me of your art. I'm surprised because I ended up cutting and pasting the page into an email and sent that to you. Have you checked your email lately? 11/23/19, 12:50 pm Mike 11/23/19, 5:14 pm Mike Finally! Proof positive I'm being abused by my disrespectful cats! 11/23/19, 5:43 pm Mike Hes so mean to me. 11/25/19, 1:03 pm Mike 72471320_943333566040636_7477716445212704768_n.gif Here's a couple I just made up: If you've never used the word, "boomer," you're probably a boomer. If you've never heard the expression, "OK boomer," you're probably a boomer. Technically you might not be a Boomer. You were born before the war ended. But people that use the term "OK Boomer" probly don't care exactly when you were born, you'e just too old to be current with anything. Enter 11/25/19, 5:48 pm Allan Technically I'm a "War Baby." That's why when girls pass me in the street, they say, "Hey, baby." Mike It doesn't matter what you're called. People born after 1964 think you're clueless. Allan Oh. I guess they think that because I'm not obsessed with some sort of cell phone in my hand. Mike But you do you use social media. That's a start. Allan Facebook is only for old people. You didn't know that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo0KjdDJr1c A Millennial Job Interview youtube.com Mike Oh-My-God Allan that was absolutely hilarious and right on point. You are a fast Internet researcher. Those actors were really good too. I think they both played their parts perfectly. Thank you for the good belly laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed-5Zzdbx0E&feature=share A Millenial vs A Baby Boomer youtube.com I just saw another hilarious one TEST: Those thinking some words aren't presidential: Shit! Why don't you chickenshit, assholes that were born fucked up, and full of bullshit, just fucking move to a shitty, cowshit, and shithole place like Haiti. Fuck yeah, you dumb fuck! Who publicly communicates that way? 11/25/19, 6:53 pm Mike Allan every one of those words & expressions are expressions Trump has used in his tweets. I found a website that lists tweets & retweets that Trump has made using those exact word swear words and expressions. It's funny to me to see them all together. 11/25/19, 7:52 pm Mike Allan are you familiar with the country singer named Gene Watson? Here's a video of a live performance and wait till the end because it will blow you away He is one of best country singers ever in my view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqVaN_YUOW8&feature=share"> Gene Watson - Farewell Party youtube.com 11/25/19, 8:12 pm Allan Huh! I never knew about this singer! Thanks! 11/25/19, 8:27 pm Allan What a sad song.Here's a recording by the fellow who wrote the song in 1960: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KoSva8fdnU Lawton Williams - Farewell Party youtube.com 11/26/19, 3:39 pm Mike Why were the autopsy observers so appalled when the coroner fumbled the cadaver's mandibles? It was jaw dropping! 77304814_578553036292553_2633268269066223616_n.jpg 11/26/19, 4:19 pm Allan He can't handle the tooth. Mike Excellent! Allan Mike What did the sisters sing when they moved far away from their aunt's cattle ranch? It's a long long way from auntie's ox Sis, but we all came from there! Very few people outside of our family and some old folkies would get that joke 11/26/19, 5:57 pm Allan hahahaha!!!!! Allan What did the jealous gay man say about his next-door neighbor who was about to have a penectomy? Who ever should have a good penis and giveth his neighbor none - then he can't have any of my good penis when his good penis is gone. 11/26/19, 6:58 pm Mike Can I watch? Mike I sent you my answer before I read your answer but your answer is funny as hell. I'll bet Uncle Sam would be very pleased to know we are still getting to have fun with his songs. Now I have to think of another one. Allan What did the man who always needed a drink after he mowed his lawn name the song he wrote about it? The bar 'n' yard song. Mike Good one What song did the guy sing about his pot plants in every room of his house? And the green grass grew all around all around. And the green grass Allan Mike What did Monica Lewinsky decide to do when she wanted to break it off with the president? Tell Old Bill. Knock knock Who's there? Shelby. Shelby who? Shelby comin' there lmountain when she comes. Allan groan!! Allan What did the son name the song he wrote telling his father to behave obsequiously in the hope of gaining someone's favor? The "Crawl, Dad" song. Allan How does one describe one's grandfather who stays by himself in his house? Old Man at Home. Allan How did the man describe his resistance to longing for a budweiser? I just don't want a beer itch. 11/26/19, 7:48 pm Mike A beer itch. Excellent. Instead of his "resistance" how about his allergy to beer. Mike How did the man decsribe his allergy to Budweiser. 11/26/19, 9:41 pm Allan I don't know if you'd be interested in this weird hobby of mine. it started when I taught a class at M.I.T in Boston for one year. When I found something interesting to read, I'd copy it, re-format it into a Word document, save it as a PDF, and then put it on line to ecommend it to students. But then, after that odd period in my life, I kept doing it! Formatting and uploading articles etc. that I found interesting; and sometimes I sent the links to friends, or study its I meet, whatever. One of the weirdest articles I read was about "itching." So I put it online. You may or ay not find it interesting, haha. http://allanmccollum.net/allanmcnyc/textpdfs/The_Itch.pdf allanmccollum.net 11/26/19, 10:11 pm Mike I will watch it at some point Allan. The only scientific knowledge I ever heard about itching was: scratch it if it itches Even if it's in your britches. Mike I just put it on my computer. Is there a CliffNotes version of it? 11/27/19, 12:07 am Allan LOL, I doubt that. It was just an article in the New Yorker. Yeah, it's bit long! But the part about the mirror solution was really interesting, I thought. 11/27/19, 10:26 am Mike I'll take a look. Mike I just learned how to block somebody on messenger without blocking them on Facebook. It's really easy. There was a guy I dont think I know or knew who just sent messaged every freakin day but they were global texts not just personally to me. Bye bye Stephen, whoever's you are. 11/27/19, 6:35 pm Mike Reporter: President Trump the public wants to know why you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money on large streamlined coaches for your staff? "Very simple. When one bus gets too full underneath, I always have a new replacement on hand. 11/28/19, 9:56 am Mike What animal literally invites us to consume it? And I hope you don't need another hint to solve this one. HAPPY THANKS GIVING EVERYONE! Gobble Gobble 11/29/19, 5:41 pm Mike Why did the guy get nervous as he exited the Chinese restaurant? He sensed someone woking behind him. 11/29/19, 6:27 pm Allan lol! Mike Thanks! 11/30/19, 10:38 pm Mike Gotta good one for you on Netflix. "Dirty John." I'm on the 4th, maybe 5th episode. 12/1/19, 1:15 pm Mike What is it called when a dancing hillbilly hooker falls? Hodown. 12/1/19, 4:00 pm Allan hahaha 12/2/19, 11:26 pm Mike Can you tell who this little girl is? 12/3/19, 12:30 am Allan I have no idea. Melissa Tucker? 12/3/19, 2:06 am Mike Scarlet Johansson 12/3/19, 10:26 am Allan Wow! Amazing! 12/8/19, 9:46 pm Mike How is this for a movie opening? 2 guys hunting in Scotland. One of them accidentally shoots a little boy out in the forest he's aiming for a deer. Then the father comes & finds his dead little boy and points a rifle at the guy that accidentally shot him. Then that guys mate shot the father. Now they've hid their bodies in the bushes and are running out of the forest totally in panic mode. It's called "Calibre." 12/8/19, 10:03 pm Allan Ewe. And you didn't even make that up. Mike It's good! Suspensful. Allan ok. but ewe! Mike As if you wouldn't watch a movie like that. So hypocritical. Mike There's a good horror series on Netflix I think you would like. "The Haunting of Hill House." 12/8/19, 10:43 pm Allan Yes!! I watched every episode of that! Here are some of my Netflix recommendations: The OA Stranger Things Ozark Money Heist Mike Thanks Allan. I've seen Ozark & Stranger Things. I don't think I've seen the other two. But I will now. Allan I totally loved OA. I hope you do too. 12/8/19, 11:03 pm Mike Thanks. 12/9/19, 4:15 pm Mike I'm gonna watch OA next. I watched a preview & it looks good. 12/12/19, 5:45 pm Mike I had already watched The OA whole series. I just had not remembered the name. I remember that the scene in the series of the shooting brought tears to my eyes. I got really emotional and I watched that scene many times. It was a great series. 12/12/19, 6:02 pm Mike My Omron BP monitor stopped working. Here is my new wrist BP monitor. I haven't used it yet. I'm going to read the instructions first. 12/12/19, 6:38 pm Mike Allan the BP monitor text was supposed to be for Lina. But, I don't mind if you see it. Love, Mike 12/13/19, 1:37 am Allan !! Is a BP monitor to measure Blood Pressure?? Or Battery Pack? Boiling Point? Brad Pitt? Body Part? Baked Potato? Allan Mike, are you OK? Why do you need to monitor your blood pressure? 12/13/19, 2:42 am Mike I've been monitoring my blood pressure for many years. I have had high blood pressure for a very long time but I don't have it anymore since my bypass surgery. But I still monitor it once in a while. Someone needs to monitor Brad Pitt, but not me. 12/13/19, 1:20 pm Allan Haha Ok, sounds good! 12/14/19, 6:12 pm Mike 12/15/19, 8:29 pm Mike Why do some mothers, fathers and children all get diarrhea at the same time? Runs in the family. That was a little gross. 12/15/19, 8:51 pm Mike Just be thankful I didn't send an image to go along with that one. 12/16/19, 3:09 pm Mike Look how grown up Amelia looks now. 12/16/19, 3:46 pm Allan Wow. 12/17/19, 8:09 pm Mike 12/19/19, 1:04 am Allan -1 12/20/19, 10:29 am Mike Surrogates at the police station!! 12/21/19, 12:33 pm Mike I am not happy with Wikipedia. I paid them a little over a week ago $3 because they're blocking the page and are requesting payment. I've paid them in the past also. Now every time I try to open it they want money and even though I've paid they're still blocking the information. How much are we supposed to pay for Wikipedia which you really can't even rely on for true information? I should have said we can't rely on it for accurate information. 12/21/19, 10:50 pm Allan Huh???? Mike Sometimes Wikipedia pressures us readers or money. That's all I was trying to say. 12/21/19, 11:36 pm Mike Hi Allan. I told you about a series called "Silent Witness" on Amazon. I just watched episode 1 and 2 of season 4 and it is really, really good. foral Very dramatic and a very good story. You should watch it. Both parts 1 and 2. Mike Amazon is also advertising a new series they're coming out with I think in 2020 with Al Pacino and it's called "Hunters.* I think it's going to be about Nazi hunters and I'll bet it's going to be really good. 12/22/19, 8:34 pm Allan Only two of these are my Surrogates. And they're installed sideways!! 12/22/19, 11:12 pm Mike I see that now. 12/24/19, 11:08 am Mike 12/28/19, 8:30 pm Mike Look how beautiful Judge Judy was as a young woman! She looks like a movie star. 12/29/19, 1:08 am Mike Why can't oral surgeons be trusted? Because they always want to shoot their patients up with drugs and then pull something on them! Allan The tooth or the whole tooth? 12/30/19, 4:30 pm Mike YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TOOTH!! 12/30/19, 6:07 pm Allan 12/31/19, 12:22 pm Mike Look at my new pillow case. I needed one so I found this on sale online. I didn't know it was so girly with frills around it. Oh well. I've made worse mistakes in my life.
