Calling All Polaks or Those Who Wish They Were

I was chatting with Mack this morning and he mentioned how the Polish neighborhood of North Trenton, where I grew up is still flourishing with traditions. There has been an influx of new immigrants to the neighborhood and it's my understanding it's thriving once again. I remember what it was like when I was growing up and and the differences when I moved away.

I'll throw some things out and if any readers would like to comment on their views please do. All I can say is "Let's see what happens". I'll title this one "Polska na zawsze" or "Poland Forever".

Thanks Mack

I'm still inviting all you readers to join my blog and throw out subjects to discuss, so please sign-in. That includes you Joey G., I haven't heard from you yet. Just doing a little writing today, the crazies are quite and all is well. Have a great evening.

It's Called Joey Z's Speak Easy and Joey G is on the Way

I finally talked my old friend Joey G to be a follower on my blog. So hurry up Joe and sign in today. This blog posting is dedicated to you and I do expect comments on your part.

To everyone out there you are also welcome to post a comment or tell me a subject you wish to discuss. If it's interesting and clean will publish it and ask for comments. That's why this blog is called a Speak Easy, so let's talk. We have the crazies going, Trenton, NJ stuff and tomato pies, need more subjects, get busy people. Till then have a great rest of the afternoon and a wonderful evening.

I'D LIKE TO LEARN TO SHOOT A GUN

Here you go Mr. and Mrs. America, crime is up and you want to protect yourself and your family. Before buying a gun, you go to your local shooting range to give it a try. You receive your proper gun safety instructions and just like a Dirty Harry movie, the target is placed on the hook and zips back at a rapid pace ready for you to pull the trigger. You hold the pistol, squeeze the trigger for the first time, bang, bang all around you. This is fun shooting at a target, that's what the people in Casselberry, Florida thought yesterday afternoon, except fate reared its ugly head.

Momma Marie Moore, age 44, with her son Mitchell, age 20 entered the Shoot Straight Gun Range at 4:30 p.m. They practiced shooting targets for awhile just like the normal people there, than Momma shot Mitch and pulled the trigger on herself. Police said there was a history of mental illness with Momma Marie. Lesson learned Mitch, never take a crazy with you to the gun range even your mother. Yes folks, the crazies live and breathe and they keep coming and coming.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING

There was never anything good about a Monday morning unless you won the lottery over the weekend or awoke and remembered you retired on Friday afternoon. For all of you out there scratching out a living, good Monday morning to you all. I can hear you responding "YEAH RIGHT".

Read some of Mack's posts today, WaWa store was interesting and so was "You Know When Your From Jersey". My sons loved going to WaWa for the hoagies when we lived on Revere Ave. Have to admit they made a good one. There were no more Mom and Pop stores around us at the time.

Try to survive the day, and I will be posting a crazies story for you later.

DUMB BUT NOT ONE OF THE CRAZIES

Good afternoon readers, I bid you all hello from partly sunny Florida this afternoon. Here's another true story from our great state. I can not consider this a crazies story but it will be filed there for reading purposes. Mascotte, Florida: Michael Howarth, an escaped inmate found walking along the road. Now here's the story, Michael was serving time for a 1991 burglary; he had no priors and was sentenced to 18 years. A rather harsh punishment in my eyes, considering this state is letting out rapists, child molesters and other low life's in a few years. Michael was set to be released in 2012, however his libido started to get the best of him.

Michael was in a minimum security institution and had been exchanging notes with a female on the outside. Well, Michael decided to walk away, meet her to satisfy his needs and return to his work release job. A wonderful idea, however Mikey got stuck in a Mud Bog and sank up to his waist. By the time he got free it was too late to return, so he went traveling down the Yellow Brick Road to freedom never meeting the lady of his loins. He was apprehended and returned to jail. I feel sorry for you Mike having to serve such a long sentence, but you did a dumb thing. Good Luck.

One for the Crazies File

Down the road from our house lies a tiny town, if you blink your eyes you passed it. Last night the local news reported that one of it's finer citizens was gardening in the afternoon and found a snake in her garden. Mary Mary Quite Contrary decided to pick up the snake and bring it inside her house. The reason you ask, well knowing the locals of this country side gem, she was probably going to make it a pet or cook it. The snake however turned out to be a poisonous Water Moccasin which made Mary it's dinner by taking a chunk out of her.

Mary Mary was taken to the local hospital and will live. The snake is reported missing in action. They come here to reside all the crazies. Sometimes I feel I live with the Pods of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Life on Mars

An unusual ending to a great show last night. A shocker but one should have known. I'm talking about the ABC Network's "Life on Mars" one of the finest shows made for a TV series this year, ended last night. For those not familiar with the plot, a police officer living in the year 2008, is hit by a car and awakens in the year 1973. The episodes that follow shows him dealing with life and work in the 125th Police Precinct of New York in 1973, A superior cast supports the show and information can be found on IMDB. For those who watched this show I hope you enjoyed it as much as Rosemary and I did. For those whose interest I perked, hope this show becomes available on DVD for your viewing enjoyment. Don't miss it.

A fools good night to all.
