We've Hit A Milestone! 50, 000 Views!

Let the celebrations begin! The horns ring out! The bells trumpet! The angels sing with joy! 

We have FINALLY reached our goal of 5o,ooo lifetime views on this old blog we like to call Bloggadocious 222!!!

I'd like to review all the names of the faithful readers of "Bloggadocious 222, " but I'm afeared I might forget someone, and all Hades would break loose! 

Let's just say, in all seriousness, that your consistent, loyal devotion to my unorthodox blog is totally confusing to me!

I know (or have known) a lot of you personally, like Terri, Madeleine, Jason, Paul, my sister, my wife, Bec, Michael (some through YouTube and Facebook), Jeanie, Joshua, Kiel, Jessica, Chris (pause to take a breath), and you are ALL down to earth,  reasonable folks. 

So I don't get how you can keep coming 
back to read a blog that is so very, uh, shall we say, bizarre? Strange? Cuckoo? 

Don't get me wrong! I'm loving every minute of your undying support, but you folks have jobs! You have families! Bank accounts! REAL friends! Netflix! 

What I'm saying is you have important, legitimate activities to fill your day, so why fry your noggins by reading this drivel? (drivel means nonsense in England, or I guess anywhere else)

Well, let me answer my own question, as I am often wont accustomed to do. 

The reason that normal, reasonable, down to earth people check into my blog is to take a break from reality for a few minutes, laugh at the cares of the day, relieve the stresses of child rearing, feed their masochistic nature, see what is in the mind of a bipolar bard, and last but not least...I forgot what was last...but that don't matter.

All I know is I'm up to 50,000 views on my "Bloggadocious 222" blog, and I'm happier than a hound dog huntin' rabbits, a bear in a trough full of honey, a chicken with his head cut off, no, scratch that, a fly on cow manure, a nuclear physicist at a quark convention...anyway, you get the point...I'm VERY HAPPY!!!

Thanks a million toms!!! 

You're Lookin' At A Future Billionaire

It's a little bit amazin' that after all these years of living my high octane life, I've never seen a u.f.o., bigfoot, a ghost, a chupacabra,  grey aliens, vampires, werewolves, zombies, a dragon, a leprechaun, or ANY of all those things that seem to be so popular with a lot of folks!

I may be jumping the gun, but after almost 70 years I'm starting to believe they don't exist!

I just think it's kinda hilarious that so many billions of dollars are made from creatures and things that do not exist! 

Movies, t.v. shows, comic books, songs, regular books, tee shirts, posters, and a ton of more things are inspired by all of these non-existent, afore -mentioned, entities! (I don't think entity is the correct word, but I ain't got time to look it up)

I was not even close!

This all means mucho big money for the CREATORS of the movies, t.v. shows, comic books, songs, regular books, tee shirts, posters, and a ton of more things! And it's all based on fig newtons of our imaginations!! 

Therefore, what I need to do is come up with some mysterious, fictional, uh..let me see...ENTITY to make money offen of. ("offen of" is a southeast Missouri term) (I need to stop using that "entity word)

In addition, it has to be something that cannot be disproved!  That's the ticket! It cannot be disproved, like all the malarkey mentioned above. 

Okay! I've got to think...and it hurts when I do dat! 

I've got it! Potato chip creatures!! "Chip creatures" for short! 

The unsuspecting victim innocently opens a bag of chips, and then a devilish creature, that looks exactly like a potato chip, except with eyes, crawls out of the bag and eats the unsuspecting victim, instead of the other way around! 

No one knows where the creatures came from. From outer space? A bacteria gone rogue? Another dimension? Cleveland? 

Think of all the ways this could be marketed! 

Not just movies, songs, tee shirts and stuff, but Ruffles Potato Chips Company could introduce the "Chip Creatures" potato chips, and make eyes on each chip with poppy seeds or something! 

I know, I know, you're all thinking Danny Boy is a genius, and I can't help but agree, my friends!! 

NATIONAL SCRIBBLE DAY 

 March 27. NATIONAL SCRIBBLE DAY National Scribble Day, on March 27, inspires children to kindness through art. Each of us starts out as a little colorful, wrinkled up human being with eyes, nose and sometimes a shock of hair. Our personality develops as we go.

This baby is destined for Congress....Looks like the late Senator Dirksen.

Well, maybe not.

I found that little National Scribble Day story (above) that proves we have way too much time on our hands in this U.S. of A.

National scribble day? That inspires children to kindness? Through art? 

I did not know that scribbling is art. Did you? 

How does it inspire kindness, hmm?

Maybe when a kid is scribbling and another kid comes over and says, "That's really good art," even though the other kid knows it's just scribbling, that act is believed to be showing kindness to the scribbler. 

Is it REALLY showing kindness to the scribbler?

Let's examine that question, students...but before we do, what did that part mean (above) about "each of us starts out as a little colorful, wrinkled up human being with eyes, nose and sometimes a shock of hair. Our personality develops as we go."

What in the Sam Hill does that have to do with scribbling and who in the name of Pete is Sam Hill? 

So many questions and so little tom to answer them.

Little Tom

Are you as thoroughly confused as I am? Me too!

Should we allow the little scribbler to believe his/her scribblings are fine art? 

How is the little person ever gonna improve, unless someone gives her/him the bitter truth?

For instance, "this really stinks, kid! It's nuthin' but scribbling! Try to draw a dog or cat, and stop with the lame scribbling, woudya?"

On the other hand, some famous artists have sold paintings for millions of pazoozas that were nothing but scribbles. 

A bag of pazoozas

For instance, Jackson Pollock...

So it ain't ALWAYS the best idea to discourage your kid from scribbling, if you can market his works as CLOSE TO  Jackson Pollock creations! 

Something to also consider is the therapeutic value of scribbling. 

Haven't we all doodled? I don't mean like your dog doodles on a fire hydrant, but sat at our desk or a table and doodled little things on paper. 

Scribbling and doodling are very close cousins. 

So we have come full circle, or maybe just a semi-circle, to remember that March 27 is National  Doodling Scibble Day! 

So have at it! Scribble your cares away!! Yeaaaa!!
