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.

WELCOME TO JUNE GUYS AND DOLLS

Good Morning All,

Just wanted to inform you all that Joey Z celebrated his 66th birthday on Sunday.  Thanks for all the wishes and good times.  Just for the heck of it, let's see whose birthdays and passing's occurred on June 2.

HATCHED ON JUNE 2:

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

1740 - The famous Marquis de Sade, the first know Sadist writer.  I think the old Marquis had more fun than writing.

1901 - Producer Michael Todd, produced "Around the World in Eighty Days."  He was also married to Marilyn Monroe, said to be her one and truly only love.

1904 - The Original Tarzan, "Johnny Weissmuller."  He also was an Olympic great swimmer.  Me Tarzan, you Jane.

1936 - Hot Lips  Houlihan - Sally Kellerman of M.A.S.H. fame.  She also stared with Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School."  One sexy professor, Rodney sure responded correctly.

1941 - Charlie Watts, drummer for the Rolling Stones.

1944 - Marvin Hamlisch, great composer for the movies, Chorus Line and The Sting.

1948 - My favorite, Jerry Mathers, the Beaver.

TAKEN TOO SOON:

1942 - Lou Gerhig - New York Yankee great first baseman. Listen to his last words to the Yankee fans on You Tube or watch the movie on TMC should be a lesson to all.

1990 - Rex Harrison, actor in "My Fair Lady."

NATIONAL ITCH DAY -  All I have to say is all you Guys scratch wherever you want too and for those who complain tell them it's the Day to Scratch.  Goes for you Dolls too.

ROCKY ROAD DAY - Just give me regular chocolate ice cream and this guy is happy.  Have a wonderful day and we will catch up more real soon.

BEER HERE, GET YOUR BEER HERE

Hello Speakies,

Just read an article on Yahoo about beers that should be brought back.  Some of these are memories and some still available in the Sunshine State.

BALLANTINE - I had my first Ballantine when I was in the service.  A few of my barracks buddies went to the base bowling alley and there it was, only 3.2 beer but to me it was tasty.

STROH'S - Sorry never tried it.

PABST - Good old Pabst Blue Ribbon, still available at some places here, but no longer at the grocery store.

NATIONAL BOHEMIAN - Never heard of it.

OLYMPIA - Never saw this one on a shelf.

LONE STAR - Must be a Texan beer.

SCHLITZ - Another Trenton favorite, it was available here for times, but long gone now.

OLD MILWAUKEE - Still available in Florida or as my sons call it P--S Beer.

SCHAFFER - The one beer to have when you are having more than one.

There is one that Trenton, NJ is famous for "CHAMPALE."  This brew started in 1939 by the Metropolis Brewing Company, located on Lamberton and Lalor Streets.  When they brewed you smelled it.  My grandparents lived a few blocks away.

If any of you have a favorite beer not produced now, send me a comment.  Thanks.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS

Hello Speakies,

As usual I hope you enjoyed the weekend and are ready to start a brand new week.  Being it is a Monday, let me attack something DOG NAMES.   Some of these names have become sickening to hear so I'll give you those first.  These names are real and can be checked out on the web.

DOGS WITH STRANGE AND I MEAN STRANGEWHIPMPY NAMES:

Johnson - I thought that was used to describe something else in the manly sense.
Puffy - Here is a real protector of the household.
Prozac - Sleepy and one big dope of a dog.
Anastasia - Must be the rebirth of that famous Grand Duchess of Russia, Anastasia Nikolaevna.
Augie Doggy - Sounds like a cartoon character, hey I think it was..
Bam-Bam - Send this puppy back to the Flintstones.
Barfy - The vomit king.
Beano - Clear the house, plenty of farts on the way to you and your family to smell.
Barkowicz - Nice Jewish name.
Binki-Momo - Sounds like a South Pacific Islant Chieftain, all hail to Binki- Momo from Bonga Bonga.

NOW FOR SOME REAL DOG NAMES, THESE ARE REAL DOGS:

Bear - Don't even come near the house at night.
Beau - Just like that French Foreign Legion hero "Beau Geste."  A no fear dog probably can shot a gun tool.
Buttons - A nice name for a sweet dog, male or female.
Killer - Don't even come in the gate to the front yard with this dog on duty.
Fang - This dog will sink you faster than a Vampire.
King - A proud name for any of the larger breed of dogs.
Buddy - A friend for life.
Buster - He will tear your socks and shoes apart.  Remember Buster Brown.
Crash - This dog will knock into walsl and windows, catch his balance and come after you like a crash of thunder.
Luee - My favorite loyal dog, watchful and friendly with children.  Hated cats.
Butch - Reminds me of one of the Little Rascals.  Put a cap on this dog and he will be the talk of the town.
Goliath - This dog is taller than you, so be nice.

I've had some fun for today and will be back soon.  Have a great day and I hope you enjoyed the post.

HAPPY APRIL 9, GUYS AND DOLLS

GOOD MORNING SPEAKIES,

Not much to report on today, I may add a few new funny book titles for you to enjoy.  First, let's check out the real stuff for today.

NAME YOUR SELF DAY -  I am very proud of my given name.  If I had options or perhaps lived in a different time period here are a few names I would choose.  In Roman times, I would have liked the name,"MARCUS ANTONIO GLORIOSUS."  As a Spanish nobleman and protector of the poor, my chosen name would be "JUAN CASTILLO DELLA VEGA."  Give me a mask, cape, sword and a fine Andalusian horse and I would carve the letter Z on all the evil I could find, great dreaming Joey Z. 

TV GUIDE IS BORN - We celebrate the birthday of that great program finder the TV Guide, born this day in 1953.  My parents did not own a TV set until the late 50's and then always purchased that guide to find the programs being broadcasted.  I would sit there with each new weekly issue and study the shows, news articles that were published.  Now I just zip through my remote and know what is coming on.

On a somber note this month we honor "HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE MONTH."  Not only were the Jews, but many European nationalities were slaughtered in those death camps.  Horrors like this will always be remembered by many.   It is up to mankind today and always to make sure it never occurs again.

I was going to leave you with a few funny book titles, but I'll leave that up to the Zip to write about.  So I bid you all a great day and leave you with this Charlie Chan saying, "CAT IS LIKE RICH MAN'S HEIR, NEVER DIES OUT OF SYMPATHY."  

THURSDAY IS HERE, SPEAKIES

GOOD MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS, 

Making this a short one today Speakies, you remember that I have my Soup Cook-Off to attend today.  Here are a few holidays to ponder about on this day.

SAVE A SPIDER DAY - Yes Guys and Dolls we have good ones and bad ones.  In Florida, the most dangerous are the Brown Recluse and the Widow Spider.  Some other ones in the US and the world are the Black Widow, the Yellow Sac Spider and the Fringed Ornament Tarantula.  Beware of those spiders Guys and Dolls.

CHECK YOUR BATTERIES DAY - This includes car batteries, remote controls, flashlights, fire alarms, toys, radios and your thermostats to name a few.  I'm sure there are many other things that you own to check for battery changes.  So today is the day to do so.

NATIONAL POTATO CHIP DAY - My favorite snack food.  I like pretzels, nachos and other assorted snacks but my favorite is still the potato chip.  Wise Potato Chips, Charles Chips, Lays Potato Chips, Utz Potato Chips and any other brand that may come my way.  Now, I try to eat only Wise's No Salt Chips, they have a great taste and you have no idea of all the salt and sodium you are missing.  What goes good with chips are red salsa or French Onion dip.  Got to have some tonight for sure.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING SPEAKIES

GOOD MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS,

Hoping you all had a great weekend filled with love, food and fun.  Let's check out our holidays for today.

GENEALOGY DAY - This is a great hobby for many people and I wish them all the luck in the world tracing their heritage.  Being Polish and like many other nationalities, there were so many name changes as people entered Ellis Island I didn't know where to start.  I found my one grandmother's and grandfather's information but after that a blank.  Poland had so many villages some now are non-existent, so that was the end of my search.  Good luck with your searches.

JOHNNY APPLESEED DAY - His real name was John Chapman and he died in 1845.

WORSHIP OF TOOLS DAY -  I own a few tools but truly I'm not a handy man, so I can not partake in today's worship.

FRANKENSTEIN'S BIRTHDAY - Victor Frankenstein is a fictional character that appeared in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus.  He was a scientist who after studying chemical processes and the decay of living beings gains a personal insight into the creation of life.  The original movie is great but I also like the Mel Brooks movie version, "Young Frankenstein."

To finish Monday off, I thought you would enjoy a few new funny book titles.

Battle Axes by Tom A. Hawk
Boring Midwestern Cities by Cole Lumbus
Cab Galloway's Garden by Heidi Ho
Candle Vaulting by Jack B. Nimble
Chinese Apathy by Hu Cares
Dirty Walls by Hoo Flung Dung

Have a great day Guys and Dolls.

 

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY 2013

GOOD MORNING SPEAKIES:

It's the last day of February, where did the month go?  Tomorrow we begin the month of March, but before that let's look what today brings.

PACZKI OR PACZEK DAY - Good old homemade Polish style donuts.  A paczek is a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with a variety of sweet fillings if desired.  Paczek are usually covered with powdered sugar or icing.  A small amount of grain alcohol usually the Polish use Spiritus which is added to the dough before cooking.  As the alcohol evaporates, it prevents the absorption of oil deep into the dough.  My grandmother made paczeks especially for me when I was little and even as I grew older.  To my knowledge she never used any alcohol but she may have, grandmother had a small stash in her kitchen cabinet.  She made them so light and covered with powder sugar only and I sure could have one today.

NATIONAL CHILI DAY -  I love chili, Roe makes a killer chili that is favorable and spicy with her secret recipe known only to her.  Where I worked before I retired we had a chili cook-off every February and the varieties of chili recipes prepared made the cook-off fun.  Besides the chili everyone brought in side dishes which made for a great luncheon and great memories. 

NATIONAL TOOTH FAIRY DAY - Still a great holiday for the little ones.  Loosing a tooth is something to a little one and should be rewarded as we all know the Tooth Fairy does.  My grandson recently lost two teeth and reaped a nice surprise.

I have to run for an appointment today, so this will be my post for now.  Have a great day and wonderful evening and remember, be careful out there.

A GREAT DAY

HELLO SPEAKIES,

I stopped by old place of work today and had a great time seeing all my old friends.  Two of my friends were retiring today and I could not pass up the chance to say hello and wish them the best.  I also had a great lunch with my former partner who shared the administrative position with me and our Assistant Manager.  I don't miss the job, but can never forget the friendships over the past twenty years.     

GOOD MONDAY MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS

My very first post today was "Birthday Wishes" to our son Jeff.  Now for the rest of my Guys and Dolls I hope you all had a great weekend and are well rested to start the new week.  Let's check our calendar for today's events.

QUIET DAY - I love it when it's quiet especially when it comes to neighbors who make noise.  Roe is always kidding me about the type of living conditions I wish I could have if I won the lottery.  A nice Spanish style home on a few acres, with good neighbors and no noise.  That's my idea for spending a quiet day.

LET'S EAT RIGHT DAY - I try to eat right everyday but most of the times I have to have my potato chips at night.  Roe and I have been watching our sodium intake and eating smaller portions and it works and shows.  So for today give up those double cheeseburgers with tons of bacon, fries and that 96 ounce soft drink if only for today.

Today we also honor the "CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT."  I knew them as Goober's when going to the movies as a kid and I'm sure they are still around today.  My favorite was the chocolate covered Raisins.  So Speakies if you love those chocolate peanuts in any shape or form today is the day to enjoy.

Now for more new book titles to make you laugh on a Monday:

40 Yards to the Latrine by Willy Makit and Betty Wont.
Archery Made Easy by Beau N. Arrow.
Assault with Battery by Eva Ready.
The Big Fart by Hugh Jass.
Breaking the Law by Kermit A. Krime.

Enjoy the day and have a wonderful evening.

HAPPY FEBRUARY GUYS AND DOLLS

GOOD MORNING GUYS AND DOLLS:

Today we honor good old Abe Lincoln, born this date.  Do you older Speakies remember that we celebrated two holidays back in our younger days, Abe's and George Washington's birthdays.  Now we only get one President's Day off.  Don't change from the old format it gave us more days off.  Now the only holidays you may get off prior to Memorial Day are Good Friday, Easter and if you take a personal holiday.  Remember May is a long way off.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABE AND GEORGE ENJOY THE HONORS OF THE DAY.

LOST PENNY DAY:  - Don't forget about those old pennies in those jars or containers, you may have a great oldie that can bring you top buck.  Check out all those wheat pennies on line and see if they are worth some bigger cash.

MAN DAY - What the hell is Man Day?  We now have man caves built in demand for all those nimyos who do not want to spend time with their wives or children.  They sit there and watch every game that is available and drink all the Buds and eat all those hoagies and pizzas they want.  What a waste of life you losers!  Take the kids out for a game, enjoy the fresh air and maybe your Doll will respond more instead of being a sports widow and ice cold under the sheets.

PANCAKE DAY - I finally had pancakes around the Christmas holidays.  A friend of my son's who Roe and I regard as our third son, brought over a basket of goodies.  Included was a bag of pancake mix and some great syrup.  The pancakes were great, light and fluffy, thanks John and Wanda. 

Have a great day and a wonderful evening.  Thanks for stopping by.

NOT WRITING MUCH TODAY

Good Morning Speakies:

You ask why Joey Z?  I have to get started on water proofing my disability ramp they built for Roe.  A few years ago we put in an application to have one built.  Finally in October of last year they called and put one in for free.  Not the best of craftsmanship but services a purpose in case we ever need it once again.  The county does do nice things for seniors and it was appreciated.  I hate painting, now I love to paint on canvas but household painting is not my thing.  If Roe reads this one, I have not painted on canvas for years.  Honey Roe is far better than me painting, but this is my project to get into Purgatory. Wish me well Speakies, progress reports to follow.  Can't wait to get started RIGHT.

Let's check out a few things for today:

1895 - Babe Ruth was born.  I saw several Babe Ruth movies, but the best was with William Bendix a great actor in the 30's and 40's.  He also starred in the TV series "The Life of Reilly."

1935 - The game of Monopoly was released.  That is the longest game in the world to play, personally I hate it, but that's me.

In the month of February, we celebrate Kraut and Frank Week.  When is the last time you had a hot dog with mustard and kraut?  For me it has been a long time and sounds good with a nice side of pork and beans.  We will be tooting all night long.

Well that is it for today, have a great one.  If I don't write for the next few days come over and help me paint my ramp.

HAPPY MONDAY THE FOURTH OF FEBRUARY

Good Morning Speakies:

For all those football fans out there, I hope the team you cheered for was the winner last night.  I only caught part of the game, as I was out fishing.  Yesterday February 3, 1959, was a date in history called "When the Music Died."  I was a young pup at the age of 11 and really did not appreciate the rock music until I was a little older.  As I look back I remember enjoying the music of all three who died and I cannot forget mentioning the pilot of the plane that crashed in Clear Lake, Iowa early that morning.  Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson.  Their music lives on still, with great influences on the music of the 60's including today.  R.I.P. you guys.

Today is "Popcorn Day", not one of my favorite snacks, I'm more of a potato chip, pretzel and nut fan.  I need popcorn with loads of salt and butter and that is a no-no now.  So you lovers out there of popcorn, go see a movie or buy the microwave kind and enjoy.  Do they still make Jiffy Pop?

USO DAY - I was at the USO once when I was in the service and not many soldiers or airmen filled the room they enjoyed the beer joints more.  The USO is still a great contribution to America's military in time of need and should to be honored today.  For the WWII men this place meant a lot to them and kept their morale up.  Keep it up USO. 

HOMEMADE SOUP DAY - I have been through this before.  Mom's homemade chicken soup, vegetable soup and her famous pea soup that had everything in it were my favorites.  Pea
soup was Roe's favorite and she is sorry she never wrote down the recipe.  Roe makes a great chicken soup and I heard the temps in Florida will be going down.  Maybe a good week for soup!  I have to mention, Granny made some great chicken soup also.  When I really needed a soup fix, my favorite was Mrs. Grass chicken soup with that golden egg and noodles in that green box.  Good Day for soup Guys and Dolls, enjoy.

Have a great day and a wonderful evening.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY

HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:

I usually do not write over the weekends, but I had to pay tribute to old my old pal "PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL, that great weather groundhog.  Once again I wish my Northern Speakies a short Winter.  And hoping Spring comes earlier for all of you to enjoy.  They probably hate me in the ski areas but what the heck.

Today is also Heavenly Hash Day.  To me hash is diced meat, potatoes and assorted spices all mixed together and add some onions.  Hash is usually served as a breakfast food in most restaurants along with the eggs of your choice.  My favorite is Roast Beef Hash.  Time for breakfast.  Have a great one and get your last minute Super Bowl shopping done early.

A LITTLE THANKSGIVING PREVIEW

HELLO SPEAKIES:

WHAT WOULD BE THANKSGIVING WITHOUT THE 3 STOOGES TO MAKE YOU LAUGH.  THEY ARE MY FAVORITE COMEDY TEAM.  ENJOY AND HAVE A GREAT ONE.

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:

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

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.

THAT IS IT SLEEPY HEADS, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

DO DO DO DO DO DO DO

HAPPY FRIDAY GUYS AND DOLLS:


Welcome to “TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY.” I guess if you are a firefighter you work with a dog who lives there I believe the rest of us are tough out of luck on this day. Maybe some of you Speakies have a good hearted boss who loves dogs and allows this holiday possible if so take advantage of the day and let the dogs go crazy.

Today we also honor the “CHOCOLATE ÉCLAIR” that messy cream filled delight found in most of our local bakeries. There is nothing like a fresh éclair to sink your teeth into with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. Zip down to the bakery today and purchase a dozen for the family to enjoy.

This weekend is “UFO DAY”, have any of you Speakies ever seen a UFO? Several years ago my son Jeff and I were on our patio porch one summer evening when we observed two lights descending down over the fields; both lights descended and then briefly went up a little. We called Jeff’s friend whose family was also observing this event. I later heard the sheriff’s department received numerous calls regarding the lights. Here is the kicker the USAF claimed every one observed weather balloons being dropped over a bombing range in another county. Was it BULLSHIT OR NOT?

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND GUYS AND DOLLS, BE CAREFUL AND I’LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY TWILIGHT ZONE EXPERIENCES THIS WEEKEND. SEND ME YOUR COMMENTS.
