HAPPY THINGS FIRST, OTHER STUFF LATER

HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:

I'M STOPPING BY TODAY TO WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY HALLOWEEN ON WEDNESDAY.  NOW DON'T EAT TOO MUCH CANDY SAVE SOME FOR THE LITTLE ONES.  I'M GOING TO BE BUSY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO WRITE.  I NEED SOME TESTS DONE ON THE OLD TICKER.

NOW HERE IT COMES SOME STUFF THAT IS REALLY STARTING TO GET MY GANDER.  IF YOU AGREE OR DON'T AGREE SEND ME YOUR COMMENTS THAT IS WHAT THIS BLOG IS ABOUT, ALL OPINIONS ARE ANSWERED.  LET'S GET STARTED.

SUPER MODELS - THOSE SKINNY ASS PIECES OF BONE PARADING DOWN THE RUNWAY WITH TONS OF CLOTHES ON THEM.  MOST OF THEM LOOK LIKE THEY JUST CAME OUT OF AUSCHWITZ.  HERE IS WHAT REALLY GETS ME THEY MAKE MILLIONS A YEAR AND THE PRETTY PEOPLE OF THE WORLD BUY THIS STUFF.

TV ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - TOO MANY SHOWS ON THE TUBE, PROMOTING THESE USELESS ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WHO HAVEN'T WORKED IN SOME TIME.  YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN.  THEY ARE SHOWN LEAVING LA'S FAMOUS RESTAURANTS PURSUED BY THE HUNGRY PAPARAZZI TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING LIKE VULTURES OFF A ROAD KILL.

DIET MEAL PLAN COMMERCIALS - YOU ONCE AGAIN KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.  EAT SIX MEALS A DAY FROM OUR COMPANY AND LOSE 50 POUNDS IN A FEW MONTHS.  OF COURSE THEY SHOW THEIR LIVING PROOF CUSTOMERS, YES HOLLYWOOD STARS.  THESE BIMBO'S AND BOZO'S GET ALL THIS FOOD FREE OF COST, JUST TO SELL IT TO YOU THE PUBLIC.  DON'T FORGET THESE STARS HAVE PERSONAL TRAINERS WHO WHIP THEIR ASSES INTO SHAPE AND NOT FOR A SMALL FEE.  ALL I CAN SAY TO YOU IS "TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN DECISION."

I'M GOING TO ATTACK OUR LOCAL FLORIDA NEWS ONCE AGAIN.  THE  EVENING NEWS STARTS HERE AT 5:00 P.M., 5:30 AND 6:00 P.M.  ALL ON THE SAME STATION.  IT IS THE SAME BULL FOR EACH BROADCAST UNLESS SOME COW TOOK A SHIT ON I-4 CAUSING A BACKUP.  ALL YOU NEED IS ONE BROADCAST AT 6PM.  DO ME A FAVOR PUT THE 3 STOOGES ON AT FIVE.

HAVE A GREAT ONE, SEE YOU SOON.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JOE AND ELIZABETH

HELLO ZAVENTEM:

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE A GUY OR A DOLL, BUT A HEARTY WELCOME TO JOEY Z'S SPEAKEASY?  PLEASE STOP BY ANY TIME, MAKE A COMMENT YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AND GLAD TO HAVE YOU ABOARD.

I'M TALKING VOTING TODAY

HELLO SPEAKIES:



I USUALLY DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS ON MY SITE.  HOWEVER IT IS ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM THE ELECTION AND I URGE EVERYONE TO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE.  NO MATTER WHAT I SAY TODAY MOST PEOPLE HAVE MADE UP THEIR MINDS, BUT I NEED TO SAY WHAT IF FEEL ON MY BLOG.

I AM A DEMOCRAT AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, SO HAS MY FAMILY AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT.  MY PARENTS NOR I WERE BORN WITH SILVER SPOONS IN OUR MOUTHS.  MY MOM AND DAD WORKED HARD ALL THEIR LIFE AS BLUE COLLAR WORKERS AND SO DID ROE AND I.  BEFORE THEY PASSED ON I WAS GLAD TO SEE THEM REAP THE REWARDS THEY EARNED AND CONTRIBUTED TO FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.  NOW THAT I'VE RETIRED I'M ENJOYING MINE AND WOULD HATE TO SEE THOSE OF MY AGE LOSE THEIR BENEFITS THAT THEY WORKED SO HARD FOR AND EARNED.

MY OPINION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA IS THAT HE IS WORKING FOR US THE MIDDLE CLASS OF AMERICA AND NOT THE BIG CORPORATIONS THAT RUN THIS COUNTRY  WHICH MITT IS A PART OF (AND YOU KNOW HE IS).  HE AND HIS TOADIE RYAN CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT BUT BABY ITS ALL FOR THE RICH.  HOW MANY REPUBLICAN SENIOR RETIRED CITIZENS AND VOTERS OUT THERE ARE MAKING OVER $300,000 A YEAR?  ODDS ARE NOT GREAT ESPECIALLY FOR THE SENIORS.  OBAMA CAME IN TO HELP THE ECONOMY FROM THE DISASTER OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WITH HIS BIG CORPORATE SPONSORS AND THAT WAR MONGER DIP SHIT HE HAD AS VP WHO COULD NOT SHOOT STRAIGHT WITH A GUN.  HERE IS ANOTHER THING DICK CHENEY HAD HEART PROBLEMS AND AT HIS AGE RECEIVED A TRANSPLANT.  FOR YOU SENIORS OUT THERE YOU TRY TO GET A TRANSPLANT, SORRY YOU ARE TOO OLD JUST DIE, LET ME TELL YOU THEY DON'T CARE ON BIT.  DO YOU KNOW WHY?  YOU ARE NOT PART OF THEIR CLUB TO BENEFIT SUCH HEALTH CARE NEEDS.  I BELIEVE IN HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYONE.  SUPPOSE THE YOUNG PEOPLE COMING UP THE RANKS TODAY AND SUDDENLY THEIR EMPLOYERS DECIDE TO CANCEL THEIR HEALTH CARE.  TRY TO BUY IT ON YOUR OWN AND SEE THE COST IS.  LET OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE PLAN HAVE A CHANCE OR ALL OF YOU WILL BE GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN NEEDED.  GOT THAT CITIZENS OF THE U.S.  MARK MY WORDS FOR THE FUTURE.

AND TO ALL YOU SENIORS AND  THOSE GOING TO BE SENIORS ONE DAY, THEY ARE TAKING AWAY YOUR RETIREMENT PLANS, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND GIVING THAT MONEY TO THEIR FRIENDS THE LOBBYISTS ON CAPITAL HILL AND WALL ST.

WISE THE HELL UP AND VOTE RIGHT NOT ONLY FOR YOURSELVES BUT FOR THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA AND THE GENERATIONS TO COME.  THIS IS THE OPINION OF JOEY Z.   

HAPPY TUESDAY

HELLO SPEAKIES:

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL MY GUYS AND DOLLS CELEBRATING THEIR BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES TODAY A VERY HAPPY ONE.  LET US SEE WHO IS DEAD OR ALIVE HAD THEIRS TODAY:

LET ME OUT MOMMY 

1925 - JOHNNY CARSON - A GREAT HOST OF THE TONIGHT SHOW.  I NEVER WATCHED TOO MANY SHOWS, BUT HE WAS FUNNY, ESPECIALLY WITH DON RICKELS.

1931 - JIM BUNNING - GREAT PITCHER FOR THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES.

1938 - JOHN HEINZ - PA SENATOR AND THE KETCHUP KING.

1959 - "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC - HE TURNED SONGS INTO GREAT PARODIES.  MY SON AND ROE WENT TO SEE HIM AT PLEASURE ISLAND YEARS AGO.  MY SON SPOTTED HIM, HE STOPPED AND SIGNED HIS CD.  NICE GUY.

UP OR DOWN THERE NOW

1983 - JESSICA SAVITCH, NEWS CASTER.  I REMEMBER HER FROM THE LOCAL PHILADELPHIA TV NEWS.  DIED AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE.  SHE DROWNED IN A CANAL IN NEW HOPE, PA AFTER HAVING DINNER.

1984 - DAVID GORCEY - ONE OF THE ORIGINAL "DEAD END KIDS", MOVIE SERIES.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE "BOSTON CREAM PIE DAY."  IT IS A GOOD PIE BUT NOT EXACTLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  IF IT IS YOURS ENJOY.

THAT IS IT FOR TODAY, HAVE A GREAT ONE.

TV REALITY SHOWS - BARF

HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:

IT IS SUNDAY NIGHT IN FLORIDA, THE WEATHER WAS GREAT, NICE BREEZE, COOLER TEMPERATURES AND SUNNY.  YESTERDAY ROE TOLD ME ABOUT "HONEY BOO BOO."  I SAID WHAT IS A HONEY BOO BOO?  TODAY I CHECKED IT OUT ON YOU TUBE AND I DON'T WANT TO REALLY DESCRIBE IT.  THIS KID HAS HER OWN TV SHOW  AND GET THIS IT BLOOMS FROM THAT SHOW "TODDLERS AND TIARAS."  I SAW THIS SHOW TWICE AND IT TURNED MY STOMACH.  HERE YOU HAVE THE GOOD OLD SOUTHERN MOMMAS PREPPING THEIR LITTLE ANGELS TO COMPETE IN A BEAUTY CONTEST.  THESE LITTLE SHITS HAVE ON SHIRLEY TEMPLE DRESSES, DOLLY PARTON HAIR AND THE MAKEUP OF A CAMDEN, NJ STREET WALKER.  MAKES ONE WANT TO THROW UP.  THESE PARENTS SHOULD BE HORSE WHIPPED FOR ALLOWING THE LITTLE GIRLS TO BE EXPOSED TO THIS KIND OF CRAP ON THE TUBE.  BUT OF COURSE THEY WIN SOME CASH AND A TROPHY.  THEN IT IS OFF TO ANOTHER CITY TO COMPETE ONCE MORE.  DO THESE BARBIES OF THE FUTURE EVER ATTEND SCHOOL?  PROBABLY NOT, DON'T TELL ME THEY ARE HOME SCHOOLED.  THAT MEANS THEY WILL RAISE THEIR DAUGHTERS AND PUT THEM THROUGH THE SAME RITUALS.  CHRISTIAN LIVING AT ITS BEST DOWN SOUTH.

HERE IS MY SUGGESTION, TAKE THESE LITTLE FARTS, STRIP OFF THAT MAKE UP, CLOTHES AND HAIRDOS, PUT SOME JEANS AND A TEE SHIRT ON THEM AND SIGN THEM UP FOR GIRLS BASEBALL.  LET THEM GET HIT IN THE HEAD, MAYBE SOME SENSE WILL COME THROUGH OR A FOUL BALL TO HIT THOSE GOOD OLD MOMMAS AND HELP THEM SEE THE LIGHT.

STRICTLY THE OPINION OF JOEY Z.

NUTS TO MOTHER-IN-LAWS

Good Monday Morning on this 22'nd of October Guys and Dolls:




Today we celebrate Mother-in-Law Day, all I can say is that I have no concern.  Amen to that holiday.  If you have a great mother-in-law consider yourself lucky.

PORK MONTH - I'm not a big fan of Pork except for good ribs.  A few weeks ago Roe purchased some Pork Spareribs from a local Winn-Dixie.  She prepared them in a crock pot with some Kansas City sauce and what a treat. Slow cooking for several hours some of the meat fell off the bones and others did not.  Throw on your plate some steak fries and what a feast.  You can have your pulled Pork sandwiches, I'll take my Pork ribs any day.

Today is also "NUT DAY."  I don't mean the crazies running wild but the type we eat.  Joey Z loves his nuts, especially Pistachios, Cashews, Peanuts, Boiled Peanuts, Almonds and other varieties.   Do you remember over the Christmas holidays the big bowl of nut with the nut cracker and pick.  What family did not have those out in Trenton for company?  I think not only in New Jersey but across the U.S.

Being it is a Monday, I will let you all get back to work.  I wish you all a great day and a wonderful evening.

NEW RESTAURANT REVIEW

HELLO VISITING SPEAKIES, LOCAL SPEAKIES AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO READ BY BLOG: 

A FEW DAYS ROE AND I WERE HEADED OUT CLOTHES SHOPPING.  BEFORE HITTING THE RACKS WE NOTICED AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT AT THE "MARKETPLACE AT DR. PHILLIPS" IN ORLANDO. THE NAME IS CARIERA'S CUCINA ITALIANA.  SO WE DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY FOR LUNCH.

AS WE ENTERED THERE WAS A SMALL ITALIAN DELI WITH ALL KINDS OF FRESH MEAT AND CHEESES.  WE WERE ADVISED TO STAND BY THE RAILING ON THE OTHER SIDE AND A HOST WOULD BE WITH US SHORTLY.  WE WERE GREETED BY A NICE GENTLEMAN WHO SAID TAKE ANY TABLE.  HE CAME OVER ASKED US IF THIS WAS OUR FIRST VISIT AND WE RESPONDED.  SOON OUR WAITRESS ALICE CAME TO OUR MENU AND ANSWERED ALL OUR QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LUNCH MENU.  BOTH THE OWNER AND THE WAITRESS MADE US FEEL AT HOME.

ROE ORDERED A CALZONE AND I DECIDED TO TRY THE ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICH.  WHEN OUR ORDER CAME OUT ROE'S CALZONE TOOK UP THE ENTIRE PLATE, IT ALSO CAME WITH A NICE GRAVY BOWL OF MARINARA SAUCE ON THE SIDE.  MY SANDWICH WAS STUFFED WITH SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS, MOZZARELLA CHEESE AND COVERED IN MARINARA SAUCE.  MY SANDWICH WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK-UP WITH YOUR HANDS AND EAT.  I DID MANAGE TO ENJOY THE SMALLER SECTION AS A SANDWICH.  ROE'S CALZONE WAS FILLED WITH MOZZARELLA CHEESE AND RICOTTA JUST THE WAY SHE LIKES IT.  OF COURSE WE HAD THE REST FOR DINNER THAT EVENING.  EXCELLENT FOOD, GREAT VARIETY TO CHOOSE FROM FOR LUNCH AND DINNER, EXTENSIVE WINE LIST AND A NICE ATMOSPHERE.  THERE ARE RENOVATIONS GOING ON BUT WE DID NOT HEAR A THING TO DISTURB OUR MEAL.  WE WILL BE GOING BACK FOR DINNER AND I'M GOING TO TRY THE VEAL PARM.

THE RESTAURANT WAS VOTED "2011 BEST PIZZA AND "2011 BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT" BY ORLANDO MAGAZINE.

THEIR ADDRESS IS:

CARIERA'S CUCINA ITALIANA
MARKETPLACE AT DR. PHILLIPS
7600 DR. PHILLIPS
ORLANDO, FL 32819
407-351-1187

WEEKEND WISHES

Hello Guys and Dolls:

As my usual Friday begins, stopping by to wish you all a great Friday and one Happy Weekend.

Here is a good holiday for all of us to reflect on, "LOOK BACK AT YOUR LIFE." What do I think, how about you Guys and Dolls? Are we satisfied the way we lived or not? Are there any changes, decisions you would correct now if you had the chance? Are chances are gone, the only thing we can do is reflect and vow a better life for us and those we love. Sure there were things that I look back at now and wonder why I did not do this or that, too late. This is a great day to ponder.

As for food today, "SEAFOOD BISQUE DAY." I love lobster bisque on the cruises and will always have some when it is available. Roe has discovered a great new type of bisque that is served at Azteca D'Oro, one of our favorite dining places. It is called "Diablo Shrimp and Tequila Chowder." If you are ever there give it a try.

Have a great one and I'm going to try.

EAT HAM, GET YOUR SHOT AND ENJOY MACARONI

Hello Guy and Dolls:



Roe told me writing in capital letters means that I am screaming, its easier for me to see my typing but as always I respect her views thanks honey.  "PEACE WITH JUSTICE WEEK", is upon us and enjoy the George Carlin clip, what a guy.  His view of what is Peace with Justice is the right way.  Oh but I hear the voices out there say that we should not do this.  How many criminals are there in your state running free after bail?  Florida has loads and this is a perfect solution. When I wrote  my book I picked an island out in the Pacific Ocean barren as can be, fly these useless germs of society and drop them in the ocean.  If they make it to shore fine if not, food for the sharks.  Maybe I should change it to the Bering Sea and let them freeze to death before they make it to shore, like that better the poor becoming the soon extinct creatures would have some food to eat.

ADULT MEDICAL SHOT WEEK - For us senior citizens get your flu shots and do not put it off.

EAT HAM MONTH - I love ham especially the good old Polish ham called Krakus.  This was a great treat on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday.  To find it here in Florida is like searching the state for a good cheese steak.  I am not a fan of country smoked ham.  Come on Florida wake up a little, your Southern roots are drifting slowely away.

Today is also "PASTA DAY." - What ever you would like to call it.  Italians from Trenton called it macaroni and that is what Roe calls it.  So many shapes to enjoy and they all fit a certain type of sauce well.  I love Penne, Gnocchi, regular Spaghetti and one of my favorites Farfalle or Bow tie macaroni to you none Italians.  No smart remarks, enjoy the pasta you like with your favorite sauce and have a bowl tonight.

I would appreciate your comments on my blog.  I've asked this a number of times!  I want to know if you are enjoying my posts or not, comment are important to me but for all my readers who stop by thank you. 

TO ALL MY SPEAKIES THANKS IF IT WAS NOT FOR YOU I WOULD BE GETTING A PART-TIME JOB.  HAVE A GREAT DAY.

SOME MORE ZIP'S QUIPS

SPEAKIES:

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIE CHARACTERS IS "CHARLIE CHAN", THE GREAT HAWAIIAN DETECTIVE AND I LOVE HIS APHORISMS.  AN APHORISM IS DEFINED AS A SHORT, CONCISE STATEMENT OF A PRINCIPLE, ALSO CONTAINING SOME IMPORTANT TRUTH OR PRECEPT.  SO LET US BEGIN WITH SOME OF THOSE GREAT SAYINGS THAT WILL BLESS ZIP'S QUIPS TODAY.

Admitting failure like drinking bitter tea. 

A fool and his money never become old acquaintances. 

After wedding bells, prefer no phone bells.

Always pleasant journey which ends among old friends.

Ancient Chinese philosopher say, "Hope is sunshine which illuminate darkest path."

 

 

 

MY MAN GEORGE SPEAKS ONCE AGAIN

Good Afternoon Guys and Dolls:

Last night while watching our local TV news, came the usual stories of murder and rape. Child molestation by boyfriends, teachers, religious ministers of the good old faith and other crazies lurking in the shadows to strike.  A breaking story occurs, drunken driver arrested for killing a bicyclist and leaving the scene.  A police check found this bozo had his driver's license revoked for life for 5 DUIs.

These menaces to society have all had prior arrest records, slapped with a small fine or sentence and whizzz back in our lives once again to spread more terror.  Local jails and prisons are too crowded.  I wrote an article in my book how I would have handled the situation.  Now listen to the "MASTER MR. GEORGE CARLIN", a man we should have listened too.  Enjoy.

I'M A GROUCH AND I LIKE MUSHROOMS

GOOD MONDAY MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS:




SOON YOU WILL CATCH THE DRIFT OF MY POST HEADLINE.  FIRST OF ALL AS USUAL, I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEKEND AND READY TO START THE A WEEK OFF WITH A BANG.  NOW YOU WILL SEE WHAT MY HEADLINE IS ABOUT.

POETRY DAY - I'M NOT A GREAT READER OF POETRY, BUT MY MIND IS WORKING ON ONE THAT I WILL BE PUTTING ON PAPER AND MAYBE SEND IT OUT TO A LITERARY SOCIETY FOR THEIR VIEW AND COMMENTS.  I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY DAY - JOEY Z IS ALL FOR THIS HOLIDAY.  PRACTICALLY EVERY WEEK ON THE NEWS DOWN HERE SOME SCHOOL BUS CARRYING STUDENTS WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.  HERE IS THE KICKER, SOME OF THE DRIVERS ON DRUGS, BOOZE BUT MOST OF THEM DRIVING AFTER THEIR LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. COME ON SCHOOL BOARDS CHECK WHO YOU HIRE.  ARE YOU THAT DAMN STUPID?  WAKE UP!  THAT IS MY GROUCH COMING OUT TODAY.

AS FAR AS FOOD GOES IT IS SAUERKRAUT WEEK.  WHAT IS A HOT DOG, OR KNOCKWURST WITHOUT THE KRAUT?  LIKE AN ANGEL WITHOUT THEIR HARP.  OH HOW COULD I FORGET KIELBASA AND KRAUT, POLAKS EVERYWHERE IN THEIR GRAVES ARE TURNING OVER.  SORRY MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN.

MUSHROOM DAY - WHEN I WAS LITTLE I HATED MUSHROOMS.  NOW I LIKE THEM ON A STEAK BUT MY FAVORITE IS ROE'S STUFFED MUSHROOMS.  I CAN NOT GIVE OUT HER RECIPE UNDER THE PLENTY OF NO MORE MUSHROOMS.  ENJOY THEM TODAY AND HAVE A GREAT ONE.

GOOD MORNING SPEAKIES:




I HEAR THE QUESTIONS, JOEY Z WHY DID YOU HAVE TO START OFF WITH FOOD THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING?  THAT'S EASY IT'S SAUSAGE PIZZA DAY.  LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT THE WEE JOEY Z.  MY MOM AND DAD LOVED THEIR TOMATO PIES, THAT'S WHAT WE CALLED THEM IN JERSEY.  THERE WAS A GREAT PLACE ON BRUNSWICK AVE. RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE BRUNSWICK THEATER CALLED CASSIANNI'S (SORRY IF I MISSPELLED THE NAME).  COAL OVEN TOMATO PIES, SODA BURIED IN ICE AND GREAT HOSPITALITY.  NOW I HATED THE TOMATO PIE PERIOD EXCEPT FOR THE CRUST, WHAT AN ASS WAS I.  NOW I KNOW WHAT THE ENTIRE PIE TASTED LIKE.  GROWING UP THERE WAS DELORENZO'S, PAPA'S, LOUIS' TOMATO PIES ON OLDEN AVE., SAM'S ON SOUTH BROAD ST AND MARUCA'S ON NORTH OLDEN AVE. AND ALSO IN SEASIDE HEIGHT, NJ.  NOW THE BIG QUESTION PEPPERONI OR SAUSAGE.  I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF PEPPERONI AND NOW LEAN TOWARDS SAUSAGE.  CRUMBLED OR SLICED REAL THIN IS GREAT FOR ME.  IT GIVE THE PIE THE RIGHT OILY MIX TO DRIP ON YOUR DISH AS YOU PICK IT UP TO TAKE THAT FIRST BITE.  WHAT CAN I SAY SPEAKIES, LOVE MY TOMATO PIES!!!!

OCTOBER IS ALSO TOMATO MONTH.  I DO MISS MY JERSEY BEEFSTEAK TOMATOES BUT GOT USE TO THE LOCAL BRANDS THAT HAVE TO SIT OUT FOR A FEW WEEKS TO TURN GOOD AND RED.  I LOVE TOMATOES ON MY SANDWICHES AND IN FACT JUST HAD A CHICKEN, LETTUCE, TOMATO AND MAYO ON PUMPERNICKEL THE OTHER WEEK. THE CHICKEN WAS A PIECE OF ROASTED CHICKEN NOT THAT LUNCH MEAT OR FROZEN STUFF.  AS A KID I USE TO EAT TOMATOES LIKE AN APPLE, CARRIED A SMALL CONTAINER OF SALT WITH ME AND JUST WENT TO HEAVEN.  TO TOMATO EATERS AROUND THE WORLD ENJOY THEM.

FINALLY "GENERAL PALASKI DAY."  HIS FULL NAME WAS KAZIMIERZ MICHAL WACLAW WIKTOR PULASKI .  HE WAS A POLISH NOBLEMAN, SOLDIER AND MILITARY COMMANDER WHO HAS BEEN CALLED THE "THE FATHER OF AMERICAN CALVARY.  A GREAT HELP IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION FOR FREEDOM.  THANKS GENERAL PALASKI.

E I AM PISSED, PARDON MY LANGUAGE.  THIS EVENING ON OUR LOCAL NEWS A LOCAL OWNER OF THE LARGEST TIME SHARE IN THE U.S. ANNOUNCED IF PRESIDENT OBAMA IS RE-ELECTED HE WOULD HAVE TO ELIMINATE 7,000 JOBS.  WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WORKERS WHILE YOU SAVE MONEY TO ADD TO YOUR ACCOUNTS.  THIS FAT CAT IS RICH, JUST LOOK AT THE MANSION HE WAS BUILDING IN ORLANDO, BUT I THINK HIS WIFE TOOK HIS ASS TO THE BANK.  WHAT ARE YOU BIG TIME SHARE OWNERS?  IS THERE A REBIRTH OF THE KKK OR A NEW NAZISM IN CENTRAL FLORIDA?  I'M NOT BULLSHITTING ANYONE HERE, I AM A DEMOCRAT AND PROUD OF IT.  I AM SICK OF E-MAILS ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT AND WILL EXPRESS MY FEELINGS. 

WAKE UP AMERICA OR THE MIDDLE CLASS WILL ALL BE IN SOUP LINES.

I KNOW THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES TRACING THEIR ROOTS AND FAMILY BACKGROUNDS WITH ALL THE AVAILABLE SITES TODAY.  ONCE I USED ELLIS ISLAND RESEARCH AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO FIND MY GRANDMOTHER AT AGE 10 COMING FROM GERMANY VIA POLAND.  I TRACED GRANDPOP Z AND HE ALSO ARRIVED THE SAME WAY.  I LOOKED UP SO MANY Z FAMILIES AND MOST THEM SO UP IN THE MIDWEST, I GUESS MY Z'S WERE OUTCASTS.  IF YOU ARE INTO THIS HAVE TONS OF FUN, BUT FOR ME, I'M DONE.

TODAY IS ALSO "LEIF ERIKSON DAY."  LEIF WAS A NORSE EXPLORER, THE FIRST EUROPEAN TO LAND IN NORTH AMERICA.  HIS LANDING WAS PROBABLY IN NOW WHAT IS KNOWN AS GREENLAND.  RUMOR HAS IT THAT STASH ZABROWSKI, A POLISH SAILOR AND HIS CREW SET SAIL FROM THE GREAT PORT CITY OF ELBAG, POLAND WAY BEFORE OLD LEIF DID.  STASH LANDED ON THE SHORES OF WHICH NOW IS SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY AND BURIED A SECRET OF HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS, ALONG WITH KIELBASA TO WHOM WOULD EVER DISCOVER IT.  SORRY TO SAY THIS TREASURE CHEST WAS NEVER DISCOVERED.  WE NOW GIVING CREDIT TO THE ITALIANS FOR THE SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS AND THE  POLES FOR THE KIELBASA AND ALL THEIR OTHER GOODIES.  AND THAT IS HISTORY, BULLSHIT OR NOT YOU DECIDE.

THERE ARE SO MANY FOOD HOLIDAYS CELEBRATED THIS MONTH, YOU KNOW THAT I WILL BE INCLUDING MY FAVORITES.  TODAY WE CELEBRATE "THE PRETZEL."  SO MANY VARIETIES TO CHOOSE FROM.  WE HAVE THE PRETZEL STICKS, REGULAR THIN PRETZELS, PRETZEL NUGGETS, NUGGETS FILLED WITH CHEESE OR PEANUT BUTTER AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES GROWING UP WAS THE REISMANN STICK PRETZELS IN A BOX FOR 10 CENTS.  I USE TO EAT TONS OF PRETZELS AT WORK, BEING THE JAR WAS RIGHT BY MY DESK FOR ALL TO ENJOY AND OF COURSE ME BEING NO EXCEPTION.  HOWEVER, MY FAVORITE IS STILL THE SOFT PRETZEL WITH LOADS OF SPICY MUSTARD, WHICH I HAVE NOT HAD IN A LONG TIME.  SO PRETZEL FREAKS, ENJOY THEM ALL YOU WANT THIS MONTH AND ANY TIME YOU LIKE.  HAVE A GREAT DAY.

SORRY SPEAKIES

PART OF MY POLISH POST DID NOT COME OUT TODAY.  IT HAS NOW BEEN CORRECTED.  ENJOY, SORRY.

TO MY FELLOW POLISH PEOPLE

HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:



HOPING YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEKEND AND READY TO START A NEW WEEK IN OCTOBER.  TODAY WE START OFF WITH SOME HOLIDAYS:

CHILDREN'S DAY - I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, EVERYDAY IS CHILDREN'S DAY.  I DON'T MEAN GIFTS, BUT WITH LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, LOADS OF HUGS AND KISSES.  THAT IS WHAT THEY NEED AND WHY?  IT WILL HELP THEM GROW UP WITH LOVE, RESPECT NOT ONLY TO YOU PARENTS BUT FOR THEIR CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE.  HOW MANY KIDS ARE OUT THERE, ABUSED, IN SHELTERS AND LETS FACE IT EVEN MURDERED BY MOTHERS AND FATHERS?  I COULD CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR A STORY ON THE NEWS LIKE THAT.  WE ALL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULE OF LOVING AND TRYING TO MAKE THEIR LIVES HAPPY NO MATTER THE COST.

THIS SHOULD GO OVER GREAT AT WORK, "TAKE YOUR TEDDY BEAR TO WORK DAY."  I'M GLAD I RETIRED AND DON'T HAVE A STUFFED TEDDY.  A DOLL IN A TEDDY SOUNDS NICE, GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER JOEY Z.  SORRY DOLLS.

WE HAVE LOADS OF MONTHLY HOLIDAYS IN OCTOBER AND I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THIS ONE TODAY.  "POLISH-AMERICA HERITAGE MONTH."  YOU ALL KNOW THAT I'M POLISH AND PROUD OF IT.  WHEN I GREW UP WE LIVED IN A POLISH NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A GREAT CHURCH, POLISH STORES AND PEOPLE WHO CARED ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.  IT WAS FRIENDLY, CLEAN AND PEOPLE WERE NOT AFRAID TO WALK THE STREETS AT NIGHT OR FOR US KIDS TO PLAY UNTIL YOU HEARD MOM YELL YOUR NAME TO GET YOUR BUTT IN.  THE SAME WENT TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S NEIGHBORHOOD, THOSE DAYS ARE GONE AND I DON'T THINK THEY WILL EVER RETURN.  THERE HAS BEEN A REJUVENATION IN MY OLD HOOD WITH THE NEW POLISH GENERATION, ALL I CAN SAY IS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.  TO MY POLISH READERS, KEEP THOSE TRADITIONS WE SHARED GROWING UP, CHRISTMAS, EASTER WITH ALL THE SIGNIFICANT CEREMONIES AND THE GOOD TIMES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND A WONDERFUL EVENING.

WHERE IS THE SKIPSTER

ONE OF MY FAVORITE READERS IS SKIP.  I ALWAYS CALLED HIM THE SKIPSTER.  HIS VIEWS AND COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED.

SKIPSTER, I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING FINE.  LET ME AND ALL MY OTHER READERS IF YOU ARE OKAY AND START WRITING TO ME AGAIN.

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT IN MY EYES

SPEAKIES:

THE FIRST SELECTION ON MY MUSIC IS FROM A GEORGE CARLIN CLIP ON THE AMERICAN DREAM WHICH IS MELTING AWAY.  THIS IS FROM THE
MOUTH OF A MAN WHO KNEW TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS IN AMERICA.  I DON'T LIKE BEING POLITICAL, I'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO ROE.  I FIND TRUTH IN THIS AND WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL.  THERE IS A LITTLE COARSE LANGUAGE, BUT THAT IS GEORGE.  SIT BACK AND THINK OF WHAT HE IS SAYING.  WHO KNOWS MAYBE YOU'LL SEE THE LIGHT?

THE WEEKEND IS NEAR

HELLO SPEAKIES:




BEFORE THE WEEKEND ARRIVES ON OCTOBER 4, WE CELEBRATE THE FOLLOWING:

GOLF LOVERS DAY - ONE HITS THE LITTLE WHITE BALL AND GOES CHASING IT ALL OVER THE COURSE.  GOLFERS IN THEIR IZOD SHIRTS AND YELLOW PANTS, RIDING THEIR CARTS ASKING US TO BE QUITE WHILE THEY LINE THEIR SHOT FOR THE NEXT HOLE.  BULLSHIT, I'M GOING TO START THE REAL JOEY Z OPINIONS.  GOLF COURSES, TOO MANY.  ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO QUOTE GEORGE CARLIN, "GET RID OF THE COURSES AND TURN THEM INTO HOUSES FOR THE HOMELESS."  LET US GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, THOSE PEOPLE ARE HOUSE LESS.  HOME REFLECTS THE FAMILY WITHIN AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A FAMILY TO CARE FOR THEM.  I CAN HEAR IT FROM THE GOOD OLD CONSERVATIVES OF AMERICA, "I SUPPORT HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS, BUT NOT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD."  WAKE UP AMERICA IS THIS THE ATTITUDE THAT YOU WANT FROM SOME OF OUR LEADERS RUNNING TODAY?  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN.

TOOT YOUR FLUTE DAY - I JUST DID AND PROUD OF IT.

OCTOBER IS ALSO CHILI MONTH - I HAVE EATEN PLENTY OF CHILI, BUT I HAVE TO SAY ROE MAKES THE BEST.  IT WAS THE WINNER OF WHERE I WORKED FOR 4 YEARS AND THEY STILL BEG FOR IT TODAY.  DOWN BOYS AND GIRLS SOON A BATCH WILL BE COMING.

TODAY IS TACO DAY - I'M NOT TALKING TACO BELL BUT THE REAL STUFF.  MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IS MEXICAN AND SPAINISH.  HER DISHES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD AND MY SON HAS ALSO LEARNED TO COOK IN THEIR TRADITION.  YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A TRUE TACO UNLESS YOU TRIED ONE OF THEIRS.  LOVE YOU GUYS AND KEEP THEM COMING ALONG WITH A NICE GLASS OF SANGRIA AND A BOWL OF THAT MEXICAN SHRIMP.

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY AND WITH THE WEEKEND, PLEASE CELEBRATE SMILE DAY AND DO SOMETHING NICE.  I KNOW ALL OF ML SPEAKIES WILL.  HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND I'M TAKING A BREAK FOR NOW.
