ZIPPY CELEBRATES JUNE 20

GOOD MORNING FELLOW ZIPSTERS,

Taking over today from the "Big Boss" of the blog and we know who he is.  I thought a history lesson of June 20 would be nice so lets see what the day has brought.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES:

First of all to all the Guys and Dolls celebrating theirs today Joey Z and I wish you a great day and many more years to come.

1909 - Actor Errol Flynn, one of my all time favorites.  Star of Robin Hood, Captain Blood and They Died with Their Boots On.  He was a good looking guy and quite the ladies man in Hollywood, read his bio.

1920 - DeForest Kelley, Dr. McCoy from the original Star Trek series.  Better known as "Bones."

1924 - Audie Murphy, the highest medal winner in World War II.  The movie "To Hell and Back", was a true story of his life.  He later became an actor and starred in many western films.  Died at an early age due to a plane crash.

1928 - Martin Landau, actor from the original series "Mission Impossible."

1942 - Brian Wilson, singer and leader of the Beach Boys.

1953 - My gal Cyndi Lauper, singer, "Girls Just Want to have Fun."

TAKEN AWAY TODAY:

1947 - Gangster Bugsy Siegel, shot to death in Beverly Hills, CA.  The mob finds all Bugsy.

GREAT THINGS THAT OCCURED TODAY:

1791 - King Louis XVI was caught trying to escape from the French Revolution.  Off with his head.

1793 - Eli Whitney, applies for a cotton gin patent.  He got it.

1893 - Lizzie Borden, found innocent of murder, she had a great attorney back in those days I guess.

1948 - The show "Toast of the Town", is hosted by Ed Sullivan.  I wonder if he used that phrase, "We have a really big show for you tonight."

Hope you all have a great day and I sure Joey Z will bring you up to some food holidays and other happening events in June tomorrow.

HAPPY HUMP DAY GUYS AND DOLLS

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE,

Speaking of Hump Day, has anyone seen that commercial with the camel coming through an office and asking what day it is?  One of the best ones.  Lets see what is happening today:

June 19:

EAT AN OREO COOKIE DAY - The only way to eat an Oreo is dunking it in milk, hot tea or coffee.  I did all three and enjoyed everyone of those cookies.  Originally called the "Oreo Biscuit", it was developed and produced in 1912.  This cookie has been a favorite of many for years.

MARTINI DAY - Make mine shaken not stirred with 2 olives.  The first martini I ever had was at my son Jeff's house.  He made something called a Dirty Martini.  On our last cruise during the "Meet the Captain Night", I had about 2 martinis.  A picture is posted on my main blog page, along with that beautiful woman.

I forgot some food holidays for a few days, so lets pay homage today to:

NATIONAL APPLE STRUDEL DAY - I love apple strudel.  I remember as a youngster, I always went to Paramount Bakery in South Trenton for granny to buy some, always delicious.  Near my parents house on Brunswick Avenue, we had Eagle Bakery that made a great strudel along with another bakery called Servus Bakery. 

CHERRY TARTS - They are okay, not one of my favorites.

As far as birthdays go today, I honor one of my favorite comedians, "MOE HOWARD, THE LEADER OF THE THREE STOOGES."  I still watch them today if I catch it on TV.  Have a great day and remember what the camel said.

JOEY Z's BODY PARTS WAR

Good Morning Speakies,

Today, I will make up a little fictional war between parts of our bodies.  War has lived on the face of earth since mankind began.  Prehistoric man fought other tribes for territories and food.  Later in history came such classic wars like the Peloponnesian War, The Trojan War, Macedonian War, Cimbric War and of course the conquests of the Roman Empire.  Did mankind learn?  No! in our own country came the American Revolution, The Civil War, World War I and II, The Korean War and Vietnam and a few more to name and who knows what time will bring once again.

At Epcot in Walt Disney World they had a ride called "Body Wars."  The basis of this ride was to learn how our bodies fought off various germs and viruses that threatened our bodies.  It was a very interesting ride and story.  This is even true today our body organs and immune system are working to protect us.

Now just like those Star Trek, Star Wars and other science fiction movies that feature the good versus the evil aliens.  What about a fictional war between our body parts that we will never know about?  This is strictly a thought of Joey Z, you make like or dislike it but  now lets choose the parts for my battle.

LET BODY WARS BEGIN:

THE TONSILITES AGAINST THE ADENOIANS

THE EYEBALLEONS AGAINST THE EYELIDIONS

THE PENISTITES AGAINST THE SCROTUMEN

THE GUMITES AGAINST THE ROOTALIANS AND THE EVIL ROTTEN TEETHTONS.

TOE PEOPLE AGAINST THE FUNGASITES

THE LIVERANIANS AND KIDNEYITES AGAINST THE ALCOHOLONS

THE ARMPITIANS AND HAIRITS AGAINST THE STINKCODIANS, WHO WILL FACE ANNIHILATION FROM THE SECRET WEAPON THE SUREDEONS

THE EARDRUMINS AGAINST THE WAXITES

I think I have named enough wars for today, hope you enjoyed and have a great day and evening.

HAPPY JUNE 17, GUYS AND DOLLS

HELLO SPEAKIES,

As the Florida weather changes in summer, I hope you all had a great weekend.  First of all let's check out the holidays for today.

MUD PACK DAY - A great holiday for women to celebrate, along with some other spa treatments, enjoy the day Dolls.  If any watched the TV show Frasier and remembers the episode when he and Niles went to the spa and finally were able to get into the Gold Room for treatment.  I still see their search for the platinum door.  If you have never seen this episode it please watch it.  Frasier was one of the greatest comedy shows on TV.

FUDGE DAY - The only fudge I like is on vanilla ice cream.  I remember it being sold on the boardwalks of Seaside and Atlantic City, NJ.  Too sweet for me, but if you like fudge today is yours.

DISNEYLAND OPENS TODAY - Back in 1955 Disneyland opened its doors to the public and has grown since then into a giant corporation making billions.  If Walt was alive you would see a great difference in service and employee relations.  Please pay your employees more money and better benefits.  OH! I forgot, the stock holders come first.  Employees just bend over and Mickey will take care of you.  (Personal Opinion of Joey Z).

NATIONAL FORGIVENESS WEEK - I really don't know how to comment on this holiday.  Some Guys and Dolls will not forgive and some will.  Look into your hearts and decide, only you can choose.

Enough for today, have a great one and I will be back.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

TO ALL MY GUYS OUT THERE, 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, REMEMBER THE MEMORIES OF THE PAST AND THE JOY OF THE YEARS TO COME.

THANKS TO MY SONS JOEY AND JEFF FOR ALL THEIR LOVE.  HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY DAD AND ROE'S FATHER TONY UP THERE.

HAVE A GREAT DAY DADS.

WEEKEND WISHES FOR JUNE 14

HELLO SPEAKIES,

My usual Friday stop-bye to wish you all a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.  Next week is going to be a busy week, the grand kids are coming down to visit, Roe and I are looking forward to spend the much needed time.  Lets see what is happening today:

PIG CALLERS DAY - Here is all I know, "SO WEE."  Since I don't own pigs, you can them anyway you like.

FLAG DAY - Mine are out, so get them out for your house.

BLOOD TYPE AWARENESS DAY - Most people don't know their blood type.  I found out about my type in 1966 entering the service.  So next time you have blood work, find out your type.

POP GOES THE WEASEL DAY - The only one I remember is that clown in a box with the turn handle.

SOME BIRTHDAYS TODAY:

1909 - Burl Ives - Great actor, "Cat on the Hot Tin Roof."  He also sang a great Christmas song and I do not know if it was Frosty the Snowman or not.

1921 - Gene Barry - Actor "Bat Masterson."  He also starred in the original "War of the World"s and many more.

1928 - Ernesto "Che" Guevara - A  Latin American Revolutionary.  I saw the movie "Motor Cycle Diary."  This movie showed his early life and his fight for the freedom for the South American people in poverty.  He was a doctor like his father and tried to help all the sick he could.  Great movie but it is in English sub-titles.

1946 - Donald Trump - Butt hole to me. 

WELCOME TO JUNE 13 SPEAKIES

GOOD MORNING ALL,

For those Guys and Dolls celebrating their birthdays or wedding anniversaries or any other anniversary on this day, my best wishes go out to you.

Lets see what is popping as far as holidays today:

WEED YOUR GARDEN DAY - I have a small flower garden and the rest of my flowers and plants are in pots.  Now for my lawn, it gets so hot that the grass dries out and various bugs attack the my lawn.   My lawn has weeds, as long as they blend in and are green that is fine with me.  Getting to old to bend over and pick weed.  That was my summer job for my parent's flower beds and garden.

LOBSTER DAY - I love lobster especially when it is served on our cruises and free,  If I purchased lobster tails from a seafood store to cook at home, there would be trouble, I know that for sure.  I'll save my cravings for another day or when I am invited for a lobster feast.

For us droppers of the world, today we celebrate "KITCHEN KLUTZES OF AMERICA DAY."  I'm a klutz in any room of our house, especially with potato chips on the floor or ice from the refrigerator going all over the place.  Have no fear for today we are allowed to be klutzes in general with no reprimand from the little lady of the house.  Some of you heard various names to this holiday such as butterfingers, dub, lummox and spaz.  Ignore those words on this day and if you break a dish, grab the glue or make it a mosaic piece of art.

TURKEY LOVER'S MONTH - I love turkey on Thanksgiving but with only two of us in the house we prepare a few Cornish Game Hens with all the fixings.  Another favorite of mine is a roasted hot turkey sandwich with tons of gravy, mashed potatoes and peas.

GET HUNGRY SPEAKIES AND HAVE A SAFE DAY.

TAKING A BREAK

Good Morning Guys and Dolls,

My son and daughter-law and my grandchildren are coming over to visit.  I will be spending time with them, so no more posts until sometimes this later this month.  Have a great week and I will be back soon, to post again.  Local Bass fishing sounds good.

HOPE THIS WORKS

HERE ARE THE FISHING PICTURES,

Jeff

Joey

Joe G

Catch of the day-Jeff's hat from his head

Me

A GREAT DAY IN SARASOTA.

WELCOME TO JUNE 11

Good Morning Guys and Dolls,

Let's get a little information about the month of June.  It is the sixth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, containing 30 days.  June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter who is equivalent to the Greek goddess Hera.  Those Romans and Greeks sure worshiped a number of gods and goddess.

Here is one for you in June we celebrate "Global Orgasm Day."  It was an action originally scheduled for December 2006, to coincide with the end of solstice.   The idea was that participants around the world should have an orgasm during this day, thinking of peace to emit positive energy to our planet.  I don't think I had one that day, blame me for the negative energy.

"National Hug Day" is celebrated this day.  Give the ones you love a big hug and maybe a kiss or two.  Every time I see my good old working buddy, Johnny A., I always get a big man hug.  Thanks John.

"National Auto Services Professional Day".  If they are honest, I wish them the best.  For you bad boys out there you get crap.  My son Joe was a Ford, Lincoln and Mercury mechanic for 9 years until another owner bought the dealership and let them all go.  It's a tough job but I was always proud on him and the job he did.  To this day, he still works on my car when needed.

As far as food goes today, it is "National German Chocolate Cake Day."  I'm not a big fan of cakes, but I'll take a moist plain chocolate cake any day.

Have a great day Speakies, talk to you soon.

HAPPY MONDAY MORNING SPEAKIES

GOOD MORNING GANG,

Hope all is well and everyone enjoyed the weekend.  Today, is a little history lesson, so let's get started.

HELLO MOMMY:

1836 - Yamaoka Tesshu - Great Japanese swordsman and master of Kendo.

1922 - Judy Garland - Actress/Singer starred in many movies, most famous, "The Wizard of Oz."  Toto we're not in Kansas anymore.

1932 - Gardner McKay - To me a good actor, he starred in a TV series in the late 50's called "Adventures in Paradise."  He wore a Tiki God around his neck and that became a craze to wear one at that time.  I bought mine on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights, NJ.  Look up his name on the net and maybe you will recognize his face and the TV Show.

1933 - F. Lee Bailey, attorney in the Sam Shepard murder case.  The one-armed man.

I THINK THESE GUYS WENT UP BUT I COULD BE WRONG:

1946 - Jack Johnson, 1'st Black Heavyweight Champion, dies in car crash.

1971 - Michael Rennie, actor, remember the movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still."  He played the spaceman Klaatu.  Who can't remember that famous line told to the robot Gort?  "KLAATU BARADA NIKTO.

STUFF THAT HAPPENED TODAY:

1610 - 1'st Dutch settlers arrive from New Jersey to colonize Manhattan Island.  I could still hear those first words spoken, "This place ain't got no Tomato Pies."

1752 - Ben Franklin's kite struck by lightening, sends Dr. Emmett Brown, to the future to await the arrival of Marty McFly.

1985 - Coca Cola announces they are bringing back their 99-year-old formula.  Goes better with rum.

Get back to work Guys and Dolls, have a nice day and stay safe.

WEEKEND WISHES TO ALL MY GUYS AND DOLLS

GOOD MORNING LADIES AND GENTS,

Welcome to another Friday and the weekend to follow.  May it be a great one for you all, my son and his family are coming up, so my posts maybe few or none for the next week or so.  Let's see what is happening today:

JUNE BUG DAY - When I looked up June Bug Days, it was a beauty pageant.  There was nothing to honor any kind of bug.  To me the June Bug is really the Lady Bug, it never hurts anyone, I love them.

TAILOR'S DAY -  I worked in mens wear for many years, I met some great tailors of the trade Tony, Luigi, Alphonso and Vincenzo and I'm not making up the names.  Some of them allowed me to do cuffs and plain bottoms on pants and even a great secret which I cannot give away today.

DANIEL BOONE DAY - He was an pioneer, explorer, and frontiers man whose exploits made him one of the first folk heros of the United States. Boone is most famous for his exploration and settlement of what is now Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia but on the other side of the mountains from the settled areas. Despite some resistance from American Indian tribes such as the Shawnee, in 1775, Boone blazed his Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains.  

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAY - My favorite, need I say more.  Have a great weekend.

HAPPY JUNE 6 SPEAKIES

Good Morning Guys and Doll,

Hope your day is off to a great start, I have a doctor appointment today so my day is partially shot.
This month and day we honor:

FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MONTH - Some I like and some not.  Love Fugi Apples, Red and Yellow Delicious, Winesap and a McIntosh, just to name a few.  I love any type of grapes, melons, strawberries, blueberries and the list goes on.  Vegetables include celery, tomatoes, corn on the cob, string beans, peas, fried okra, spinach and lettuce to name a few.  Squash is not to my liking, just the sound of it makes me sick "SQUASH."

NATIONAL YO-YO DAY - Not one of my favorite toys growing up.  I could only make it go up and down a few times before the string went all the way out.  Never could do those fancy tricks.

DRIVE-IN MOVIE DAY, FIRST ONE OPENED IN 1933.  The first drive-in opened in Camden, NJ on Crescent Blvd. and was the brainchild of Richard Hollingshead.  With only an initial investment of $30,000 a lot of money in those days the idea spread across the US.  He charged 25 cents per person or per car, with no group rate paying more than One Buck to see the movies.  I still remember the Lawrenceville Drive-In near Trenton, with those boxes hanging onto your window, the smell of the food and of course in the winter, the fog on your windows.

D-DAY ANNIVERSARY - Let's remember all the Armed Forces who landed on Normandy Beach that day and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Europe.  This includes our Navy, Army and the forces of our allies.  If your Grandfather, Dad or even a relative who lost his life, take time to say a brief prayer or honor them with a moment of silence.

Today is the Y.M.C.A.'s Birthday.  I went with my friend Jack once to the "Y" in Trenton to run track inside.  And now I can only think of that song by the Village People.  If you belong have a great time going.

That's it for me today, have a great one.

GOOD MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS

WELCOME TO JUNE 5 SPEAKIES,

What do we know about June?  June in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent to December in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.  Personally I'd rather celebrate Christmas in the colder weather rather than 95 degrees.  The June birthstone is the Pearl, hell I never found one in an oyster, so no big stone for me.  The flower for June is the Rose.

HOLIDAYS TODAY:

TEACHER'S DAY - Boy I bet they feel good that this teaching year is over soon.  I am sure the kids do also.  When I was in grammar school, I loved the last few days.  Actually I hated grammar school, but really enjoyed high school.

NATIONAL GINGER BREAD DAY - HATE GINGER BREAD PERIOD.  That is it for today, I have to get ready for a medical check up,  Have a great day.  I'm working on a new post called "Human Body Wars."  Sounds interesting but when I post it, I know you'll think I am crazy or from some planet far, far away. Maybe I am.

THE FISHING PICTURES ARE COMING

SPEAKIES,

I received some of the pictures from my good buddy Joey G. and as soon as my son sends me his, I will post them, so please be ready to enjoy.

HAPPY JUNE 4 GUYS AND DOLLS

Good Morning Readers,

Just want to remind all you readers, sign-up as followers and you all can post a comment on any of my posts.  Going to make this a short one today, so lets get started.

Weird Holidays for June:

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word "June"? Many of us think of weddings because, June is known for the large number of marriages that occur over the course of the month. June is named after Juno (Hera). Juno was the goddess of marriage and a married couple's household, so some consider it good luck to be married in this month." So you see we celebrate marriage in the month of June- but did you know we also celebrate Old Maid's Day today.  Roe and I got married in May and celebrated our 35th Anniversary.

JUNE MONTHLY HOLIDAYS:

SEAFOOD LOVER'S MONTH - We are now talking my kind of food, yes fish and I love it.  My favorites are:  Shrimp any way you make it, I'll' eat it, friend, cocktail, peal and eat and any kind of macaroni with shrimp.  Flounder or Fluke a great fish to fry in a beer batter or baked.  The same goes for Cod which is a great Polish fish served on Christmas Eve.  Give me Lobster, Crab, Blue fish, Mussels Marinara, Smoked White fish, Sardines, Clams Casino and many more.  One of my favorites which now is just a once-in-awhile treat is Pickled Herring in a jar or as us Polaks call it Shedzie.  This is the month to enjoy your seafood.

ICE TEA MONTH - I usually make a couple pitchers of Ice Tea a week.  We like Peach Ice Tea, which has a good taste. I remember my Grandmother and Mom brewing tea on the stove and than putting ice cubes, sugar and serving it.  My dad drank that like water.

CHEESE DAY - I love Provolone, that great Italian cheese that smells like dirty sweat socks.  One has to acquire a taste for it and I did.  Roe grew up on that cheese and got me hooked.  Love white American cheese, Sharp Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, Cottage Cheese and many more.

Have a great day Guys and Dolls and as always, "be careful out there." 

WELCOME TO JUNE GUYS AND DOLLS

1491 - Henry VIII, King of England, made famous in that song by Herman's Hermits, "I'm Henry the VIII, I am.
