SURREAL SATURDAYS

I created Surreal Saturdays to help our brains to think beyond the realm of  boring, mundane, everyday stuff, and delve into a word of fantasy and imagination! (But mostly, because I'm silly)

What my Uncle Harry sees after he drinks Uncle Bud's "moonshine!" 




 So anyway, Doc, my mom was at this party with a horny unicorn and a giant snail.




 Oh, stop worrying! It's just the house settling!






Tell me again, how a little bite from a praying mantis wouldn't hurt us, you idiot!!





We've figured out what's causing your vision problems. 
It's called "snake eye!"






Oh, good heavens! I shouldn't have insulted that apple vendor!





Another bit of evidence for musical-mammal evolution!




Ain't this vacation spot  great!! I found it on Travelocity. Com.

 FAN FRIDAYS

By now you probably know that on "Fan Fridays" I put the proverbial "spotlight" on someone or something I've been a fan of in my past life, or someone or something I'm still a fan of today.

I think everyone remembers Mel Blanc, who did the amazing voices of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Tweety Bird, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, and many others!

However, we ain't talkin' about him on this 
"Fan Friday...he gets a lot of recognition 
already.

We are going to look at the voice-man who 
was closest to my heart!...Daws Butler!


Ever hear of him?
I think you may know the characters he did 
the voices for...they include:






  • Aesop's Son (in the "Aesop and Son" 


    • Butler would voice most of these 

     characters for many decades, in both TV 

     shows and in some commercials. The 

     breakfast cereal mascot Cap'n Crunch 

     became an icon of sorts on Saturday 

     morning cartoons through many 

     commercials produced by Jay Ward. 

     Butler gave voice to the Cap'n from the 

     1960s to the 1980s.


    My favorites were Hokey Wolf, Aesop's 

     Son, Elroy Jetson, Snagglepuss, Baba 

     Looey, Dixie Mouse, Huckleberry Hound, 

     Mr. Jinx (the cat), Quick Draw McGraw, 

     Snoopy, Quisp, and The Wolf from the 

     Droopy cartoons!

     Who was your favorite, or favorites?

     I am a BIG fan of Daws Butler, because he 

     made me happy as a child, and because he

      had such a cool name!
    Not to be putting down the awesome Mel 

     Blanc, who had a cool sense of humor, as 

     you can see below:

    THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS


    As most of you already know, I always write my "Thoughtful Thursdays" blog post in soft subtle colors, to enhance the calm, relaxing atmosphere of this weekly feature. 


    Are you comfortable? 


    Why don't you make some hot steaming tea, put a shot or three of good whiskey in it, prop your feet up (although that's gonna be hard if you have a desktop computer), play some of your favorite music in the background, like this:







    <<Go ahead and click this on while you enjoy my classical blog post.



     Did you click on the Mozart music?
    By the way, 
    it's pronounced Moat-zart.
    Ain't that a kick?!

    Why didn't you click it on?

    What?!

    You hate classical music?!!

    I understand that loving classical music is an acquired taste, but please go along with this, and play the damn music, so you can RELAX!! OKAY?!!!






    Let's review...

    Tea? Check√


    Whisky?Check√

    Feet propped up?Check√

    Mozart music in background?Check√

    Good!

    Now we can begin our journey to the ultimate peace, satisfaction, contentment, and rapturous ecstasy that you have longed for since you began reading this boring nonsense!




    Close your eyes...unless you're driving a car right now, and reading this on your phone.


    Let your mind drift, wander, and begin to see wonderful things that your poor heart never imagined.

    See anything?

    Maybe you need to drink some more of that "Jacked" tea, hmmm?

    Are you actually listening to the music right now?

    The magic will not work until all the "ingredients" are in place!

    They are?

    Really?!

    Well, alrighty then.

    Take deep breaths and begin to chant...
    Jai guru dava om...Jai guru dava om...
    over and over until you hear a sitar playing in your brain.
    Do you hear the sitar?
     Click on the video above, and maybe you will, numbskull!

    I sense that you are feeling a sense of weightlessness, like an astronaut doing one of those somersault thingys in a space capsule.


    Floating...floating...floating...( now echoing) floating...floating...


    Say what? 

    All that floating made you need to go potty?!

    Man, that's gonna break the whole mood!

    Just potty or the whole shipload?

    Well, then, we don't have that kind of time, anyway!

    Hope everything comes out all right!

    Remember, you're not done until you do the paperwork!

    Don't fall in!

     Well, this Thoughtful Thursday just went in the toilet!
