THE LITTLE RASCALS

 WHERE ARE THEY NOW? 

Well, if they are like most child stars they died poor, or of drug or alcohol poisoning, or they're living in Cleveland, or some place worse. (If there IS some place worse!)

What we really want to focus in on, my nostalgic fiends, is what  happened to their show busy-ness careers after "The Little Rascals," hmmm?

                                         SPANKY                     

Spanky had a sex change operation, and became the lead singer for a semi-popular band in the sixties.

                          Actually from Central Illinois 

                                 CHUBBY                            

Chubby had his skin chemically darkened, and started a new dance craze in the sixties.

Let's twist again...

THE BULLY...BUTCH

It is hard to imagine, but Butch was the man inside the "Barney" suit for a short time, until he took the "I love you, you love me" part of the song way too literally on the kids.

                         It's nap time again, kiddies!    

                               Sweet Little Darla Hood         

Darla developed into a "gifted" woman ( big jugs), and went  to the exotic dancing field of entertainment. She holds the record for performances at Big Al's.

                 Funny Gabe talks about strip club

What about Alfalfa?

He became Neil Young, of course!

Notice that the voices in these two videos are amazingly similar!

I'M 19 YEARS OLD

I'm 19. I have a 19 year old brain. Why do some dudes say I'm 62? I'm not even close to 62! I'm 19! I love to rock and roll, my man!

THE BRAINS!!! MORE BRAINS!!!!

 THE BRAINS!!! MORE BRAINS!!!!

                                                                                   THE BRAINS!!! MORE BRAINS!!!!

                                                                                          THE BRAINS!!! MORE BRAINS!!!!

The Beatles are still my favorite group, and I still hope to see them in concert one day.

Beatles Reunion

When anyone talks about stocks, bonds, life insurance, retirement, Medicare, pensions, and all that boring crap, it is such a downer, man!

Shoot fire, I'm only 19 years old, and I want to chase the chicks, get high, climb a mountain, be the lead singer in a rock band, maybe get a gig on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, start a revolution, make a million bucks, meet Jimi Hendrix...

                     ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

So why do people keep offering me their seat,  ask me if I need help with my groceries, automatically give me the senior citizen discount, and who are those goofy kids that keep calling me grandpa!

They all must be crazy!! I'm 19! 

ThEy aLL mUst Be cRAzy! Im 19!

The Wonderful World Of Wombacher

I have very few friends because I stupidly say dumb things without thinking how idiotic they sound to normal individuals like you.

Marty Wombacher is a true friend ,

http://www.meanwhilebackinpeoria.com/

because he is one of the rare birds that understands my ridiculous style of humor and nonsense. 

I want to thank him, at this frozen moment in tom, for mentioning my blog in his blog. (Yes, I meant to write tom, I'm weird that way)

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to read something so funny it makes you laugh your guts out on the parking lot, click on this link http://www.meanwhilebackinpeoria.com/, but beware you don't become addicted to this man's inimitable wit and stylish vulgarity, so prevalent four score and seven years ago! Just so as you don't forget, I'll give you a link to his blog below:

Priceless Family Video Of Love And Funny

This video may be boring to the average, unrelated video watcher, but if you are part of my family, it will be a priceless piece of family history, in about 50 years. 

I'm posting this on my blog for posterity sake, because I'm pretty sure it will not be very entertaining to any of my blog readers.

 So, non-family bloggies are not required to watch the video.

Disclaimer: Any and all participants/watchers of this blog are forewarned that any boredom, disgust, profound sleepiness, and/or yawning is not the responsibility of the creator, producer, or director of this video, blog, and/or historical time capsule.  (Is that how capsule is spelled?) I should know, I've taken enough of them!

Sooo, anyway, here it is: 

Christmas Came Early At Our House 

 Donna has to work on Christmas day, so we had our Christmas gathering on Dec. 22 .

You may notice that all my family members are cute while I'm ugly and fugley!

That is because I lucked out, and married into an extremely attractive family!

Imagine what they would look like with MY genes, or even my bib overalls!

I have to go pick up Donna from work now! Merry Christmas Eve !!!!

Peggy Makes Annual Christmas Visit To The GREG AND DAN Radio Show

The lovable little Latvian, Peggy, made his annual Christmas call to the Greg and Dan Radio Show today! (I do the voice of Peggy, but that's between you and me)

My good buddy, Greg Batton is crazy enough to allow me to be on his show from tom to tom. (Pleeease, let's leave tom out of this for a change!)

Anyway , Peggy wished everyone a Merry Christmas, and Happy Gork and Donny Days (That's what they call the Greg and Dan Show in Latvia), AND a Merry Mayan End Of World Days.

Click on the link for the complete, geniune, hilarious segment of the Mighty Greg and Dan Show, if you have the guts!!

 So Angry With Myself When I Forget To Blog!

I know that all of my devoted fans wait breathlessly every day to read my side-splitting, hilarious blog, and catch one of my new videos that I usually include in the mix!

So, how disappointed you must have been yesterday when you ran to your computer, typed in http://www.dannymaness.blogspot.com. and I had completely forgotten to do my blog! 

So, I'll have to make up for it today, and give you a Lollapaloozer of a blog post with a bunch of stuff!

 I hear that Peggy is going to call in to the Mighty Greg and Dan radio show tomorrow, so I don't want to miss that!

I feel loved by two of my favorite YouTubers, Yoz and the Mighty Tulleuchen!
I watched my beautiful and talented granddaughter (Brooklin) sing in the Christmas thing with her fellow classmates!
Benji (The Wonder Dog) went poo-poo outside, instead of inside!
And all's right with the worm! (And that can be very important)

The great and powerful,  "Marty Wombacher" was kind enough to post my blog within his blog that had my new jingle I wrote for the Greg and Dan Radio Show. 

Just click on it and find out how amazingly talented we both are.

It's at the top of the page, in purple, and looks like http://www.meanwhilebackinpeoria.com/.

Marty Wombacher is a world traveling, man about town, bon vivant, BUT, a regular, beer drinking guy, who never won the Congressional Medal Of Honor, but is a fricken' hero in my eyes, because he survived 19 (count them) years in NEW YORK CITY!!! AAARG!!!

When I was just starting my writing career he lifted me up (a monumental task), and encouraged me to keep writing my weird and wacky, uh, writings, and now I'm internationally famous, in my imagination.

Enough about me, It is vital to our national security that you read Marty's blog http://www.meanwhilebackinpeoria.com/ every single day, and decipher the secret code embedded within his hysterical, whimsical world of words. 
The ancient astronaut archaeological dig at Punta Funta, Chile, discovered  stone tablets that are the exact replica of his book, 99 Beers Off The Wall, and carvings that depict someone that looks eerily like Marty, engaged in human sacrifice. Coincidence? Me think not!

The survival of mankind depends on cracking the alien code that is subliminally incoded in his really funny blog

http://www.meanwhilebackinpeoria.com/.

soooo, time is of the essence, 'cause baby, when yo dead yo dead!

Have a nice day!

I Wrote A New Jingle For The Greg And Dan Radio Show! Here it is:

Things have been working out really good for me lately, so I'm wondering when the DISASTER is gonna hit me, as it always does! See how paranoid I am? 

Greg and Dan are planning on using the second jingle I wrote for their radio show (the other one is their Wednesday Funsday jingle), the great Marty Wombacher moved back to Peoria, (my friend, and the funniest writer I know), the song I sang at the Christmas program at Christ Bible Church went well, and the numbness in my feet is getting much better! ( LOL!)

Christmas is only a few days away, and God has blessed us with a warm home, food, a car , Benji, The Wonder Dog, and YouTube!

However, how long is all this good stuff gonna last, hmmmmm? 

I'm worried!

MARTY WOMBACHER 

Marty Wombacher is the funniest guy I know! 

He wrote two books that were side splittingly, funny! 

"The Boy Who Would Be A Firetruck" and "99 Beers Off The Wall."

He is originally from Peoria, but moved to New York City for 19 years, and now is back here! 

Hallelujah! 

He has a new blog at "Meanwhile, Back In Peoria.com.

Welcome back Marty!
You are the best!

The Spirit Of Christmas Past

The wonder and magic of the Christmas season is something that was real to most of us in our childhood. 

We delighted in Christmas morning, when it seemed as if the Christmas tree was glowing with an illumination ten times brighter than the colored lights could have produced. 

The Christmas story of Mary and Joseph was so vivid in our little imaginations that we could feel what they went through in traveling to Bethlehem, being turned away at the motel, and having to sleep in a barn. 

We felt the fear and awe that the shepards felt when the super bright Angels appeard to them in multitudes and sang really loud, and the wise men brought Jesus gifts , and we knew what gold was, but not the other two things. 

What is my point? 

Well, when you start getting real old, like me, all those childlike feelings start coming back to you, and that's really cool!!!

I Am So Weird And Insecure!

If I was ever blessed with fortune and fame, and had a billion fans who adored me, and I gave a concert with 75,000 of my cheering fans in attendance, and afterwards, just one person came up to me with mild criticism of my performance, I would be depressed for days! 

THAT is how insecure I am!!

Why do I tell you this?

I had 1 thumbs down on my O Holy Night video and I feel heartbroken! 

That is really weird! 

I have no idea who the person is, if he/she is tone deaf, or even watched the whole thing, but I still get upset! 

I wish I was more confident in myself. 

 Want To Feel Happy?...Well, Do Ya, Punk?

My goal today is to make you happy, so I'm going to post 2 videos on my blog that will surely put a big ole smile on your face!

They will take your mind off the "Fiscal Cliff", and everything!

Don't think of me inviting you to watch the videos, think of Clint Eastwood suggesting you watch them, with the most powerful handgun in the world pointing at your whimpering head!

So, do you want to feel happy? Well, do ya, punk?

I thought so.

Christmas Fun For Everyone?

Is Christmas fun for everyone? 

It seems like there are too many people who stress themselves out by taking the season way too seriously!

The perfect tree, the best light display, the coolest gifts, the most popular Christmas party, and by the time Christmas comes they are worn out, depressed, disgusted, and disgruntled!

I would rather be happy and have a "Charlie Brown" tree, like I have, than be crabby with a magnificently perfect "show tree!"

Now, I understand that there are some folks who can do the flawless Christmas with no stress or worries. That's cool.

However, if we are so wrapped up in creating the BEST Christmas that it makes us cry, is it worth it!

Joy, laughter, fun, songs, telling stories, telling jokes, hugging grandchildren...doesn't cost a thing, and I believe, is the BEST part of Christmas!

One of the saddest things I can think of are the people on "Black Friday" who, with shameless greed, fight and claw their way into the store for a stupid gift for a spoiled kid!

Maybe that's their way of having fun, but "black" is a good description of the dark, unloving attitude they display on that day.

How about buying or even MAKING something meaningful as a gift, that does not include virtual manslaughter!

I know I'm old fashioned, and living in my memories of Christmas in the old days when family and friends would just drop in unannounced, and that was perfectly okay, the Christmas season didn't start until AFTER Thanksgiving, and the Christmas T.V. specials were really SPECIAL, by airing very close to Christmas day!

Yes, I'm an old "fuddy duddy," just blowing off some steam, and probably no one will ever read this, but I feel happy now! HA!!

Merry Christmas EVERYONE and have FUN!!!!

Classic Christmas T.V. For Baby Boomers!

We all know that the greatest Christmas shows were the ones from our childhood! 

For "baby boomers" it was Suzy Snowflake...Hardrock, Coco, and Joe...and The Night Before Christmas. 

If you still have that childlike Christmas spirit that you had back in the 50's you will love these featured clips! 

If you've turned into the evil Grinch...heaven help you!
