Ancient Astronaut Theorists Say Yes!
I Say No!!



I enjoy watching the Ancient Aliens TV series. Not because I believe any of it, but I love the dramatic way they present the bizarre information.




For instance..."Is this rock actually a piece of a civilization that blew up on Mars, and thrown  into earth's atmosphere, where it landed here in the Mojave desert a billion years ago?" (Now here is their favorite line) "Ancient Astronaut theorists say YES!"



Or is it Ancient Alien theorists? No matter. What are the prerequisites for being an Ancient Astronaut/Alien Theorist? Couldn't ANYBODY be one? 




It's like saying, "my Uncle Hibby says yes to the Roswell incident!" Who's Uncle Hibby? Why is HE qualified to lecture us on UFO stuff? 





Well, he's not! He's no more qualified than the mysterious Ancient Astronaut theorists they quote on TV! You know, the ones who say YES!




The other night the Ancient Astronaut/Alien theorists said yes to the idea that (get this) octopuses are actually alien creatures from another world, because they are not connected to any evolutionary chain. 




They said yes to the theory that the octopuses flew here on a meteor that landed in an ocean, and now live among the lower fishes. They REALLY said this!



Okay! Maybe the fact that octopi do not connect to the evolutionary chain is because God created them! 



According to Merriam-Webster, both octopuses and octopi are acceptable plurals

Ancient Astronaut theorists also say yes to the theory that the pyramids, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and just about all of the cool constructions of the ancient past were beaming out signals to extraterrestrials without electricity or nothin'! 




In conclusion, I'm not completely dismissing the far fetched theories of Ancient Alien/Astronaut theorists, because ANYTHANG is possible!

However, just because an uncertified AAT says YES to weird stuff, doesn't make it true!

Happiness Begins From Thyself



I made the title of this blog post, "Happiness Begins From THYSELF," to make it sound biblical. It's not. 



However, we can always find happiness in things that others may find boring, if we use our God given imaginations.



Remember when you were a wee child, and you had to go to Aunt Henrietta's house for a visit, where there were no toys, or T.V., or nothin'! 


Well, I do! 

Anyway, I used my God given imagination to create things to do, and built imaginary forts from Aunt Henrietta's couch cushions, used her clothespins to be soldiers and Indians native Americans, 
her house plants became a forest...and, you get the point.



So, as we hunker down in our homes, we can create our own happiness by using our WHAT? Right! Our God given imaginations!! 



As you gaze around your home, what do you see that would be a fun prop to use in making a video for your friends, or even bringing some levity to your family members, or your dog!




Look! A lampshade! Placing the lampshade over your head and dancing around like a clown would be the obvious way to exude happiness from thyself, but why not turn it upside down, and place it over your head like a "cone of shame," and bark like a dog? What a creative way to bring happiness to others! Especially your dog, if it doesn't freak him/her out!



Gather up all the empty toilet paper rolls (I'm sure you have a bunch) and decorate them with stickers, glitter, or whatever you have available, and make toot ta toots! 


Whenever any family member complains about being quarantined, every other member may give her/him a big TOOT TA TOOT through the TP roll!



Use some makeup to convert yourselves into Zombies! Shred your clothes a bit, have fake blood (ketchup..if you have any left) running down your chins, and if any concerned neighbor comes to your door, scare them away by moaning "BRAINS...BRAINS!!!"



Fun for the whole family!! 

What imaginative suggestions do you have to create a happy atmosphere in the dungeon-like existence we are experiencing on Mar. 30, 2020?


Okay. A bit of exaggeration here.

Disconcerting Disturbing Dilemma 

dis·con·cert·ing
/ˌdiskənˈsərdiNG/
adjective
  1. causing one to feel unsettled.
    "he had a disconcerting habit of offering jobs to people he met at dinner parties"
    Similar:
    unsettling
    unnerving
    discomfiting
    disturbing
    perturbing


When I check my blog analytics, I see that many of my regular readers have flown the coop! 




I attribute this to...

1. Folks are too worried about COVID-19 to read my blog. Hey! What's more important!! Don't answer that.



2. I've suddenly become more boring, without realizing it. Boring? ME boring? I could see it, if I kept on going on and on about a lot of boring stuff, like taking my dog, Chevy, for a walk, or fake U.F.O. stories, or my love of brussel sprouts, or my frequent use of the name, Tom... but boring is the last thing I'm guilty of, when it comes to writing my blog every day, in the year of our Lord, 2020, usually in the morning, between 5 & 11 am.



3. I make fun of serious issues, in a "gallows humor" style, which makes a lot of you uncomfortable and ticked off, which I TOTALLY understand, but it's my way of coping with frightening stuff.

gal·lows hu·mor
/ˈɡalōz ˈ(h)yo͞omər/
noun
  1. grim and ironic humor in a desperate or hopeless situation.


Good example of gallows humor.


4. Bloggadocious 222 is becoming too intellectual for the the common man/woman, and your brains can't handle the super-stimulating, mind blowing info spewing from this fountain of wisdom! Ha ha! I had to laugh at that one myself!! 




Anyway, just tell me why you haven't been reading my blog, lately...but...if you're not reading my blog anymore, you won't see this desperado message!

Oh, well!

I've Always Liked Thursdays



Oft times folks ask me why I like Thursdays, and I really can't explain it. 

This is not me. For you new readers.


Maybe it's a lingering feeling from when I used to work for a living, and I knew that glorious Friday would greet me in the morning. 



It could be that some of my favorite TV shows were aired on Thursdays when I was just a little pipsqueak! 



Shows like...(and these were prime time) Kukla Fran and Ollie, The lone Ranger, George Burns and Gracie Allen, You Bet Your Life, Truth Or Consequences, Captain Video and his Video Rangers...











Simple times...simple Thursdays...simple folks...watching black and white TV and eating toasted cheerios! At least, that's what we did.



Here's some epic things that happened on Thursday. Click link below↓



So have a good Thursday, enjoy it while it lasts, even though it can't compare to Thursdays in the past.

Out Of This World Wednesday
Vital Virus Vectors!

 I have no idea what a vector is, but it fit the alliteration in title above.

As you may recall, Rosie and Gary have been stricken...or is that strucken, by the VTTYBS! (the virus that takes your bloody soul)




Fortunately, Mumsthewitch has provided them a cure, by giving them a nasty tasting potion to drink, and directing them to stand on their right leg all night long!




Gary - "Well, the sun's up, Rosie! I hope we are cured."




Rosie - "Well, the sun's up, Rosie! I hope we are cured."




Gary - "Oh, no! You're still repeating my words!! That means we still have the VTTYBS!!! What went wrong?!!"

Rosie - "Oh, no! You're still repeating my words!! That means we still have the VTTYBS!!! What went wrong?!!"

Gary - "We followed Mumsthewitch's instructions perfectly! We drank the nasty tasting potion, stood on our right leg all night, and...and WE FORGOT TO CALL HER IN THE MORNING!!!"

Rosie - "We followed Mumsthewitch's instructions perfectly! We drank the nasty tasting potion, stood on our right leg all night, and...and WE FORGOT TO CALL HER IN THE MORNING!!!"

Gary proceeds to call Mumsthewitch on his
"phlip phone!"





Mumsthewitch - "Gidday, mite! Yer virus is ova! Ya sived yer souls in the nick a tom!! Goodonya!!" 

Rosie - "What did she say, Gary?"

Gary - "I think she said, good day, mate! Your virus is over! You saved your souls in the nick of time! Good on you! However, I'm not as fluent in 2nd Dimension 3rd Australian as you, Rosie."


Image of  2nd Dimension 3rd Australia


Rosie - "The VTTYBS MUST be over, because we're not repeating each other."

Gary - "The VTTYBS MUST be over, because we're not repeating each other."

Rosie - "Oh, stars!! It's BACK!!!"

Gary - "Ha ha! Just messin' wit ya, Rosie! Ha ha ha ha!"

Rosie - "Ha ha, is it?  Don't forget the olde Glirkazoidian saying..."There are 7, 165, 832, 111 ways to get even, and you won't know what hit ya when one of them wreaks havoc upon your little green head when you least expect it!"




Gary - "That's not an olde Glirkazoidian saying, you just made that up."

Rosie - "Well, it is now! I'm registering it in the Glirkazoidian Olde Sayings Registry as we speak!"

Gary - "Is that like the "Star Registry" the earthlings invented, to con folks out of their cash many bimi- lennials ago, in the future?" 




Rosie - "Shut up, Gary." 

As our gay (joyful) Glirkazoids zoom zoom through the, seemingly, unending reaches of spaze, they break out in song...

Sung to the tune of the Flintstones...

♪Virus! We kicked the virus, 
By standing on one leg last night,
We drank the nasty potion,
But this morning we are both alright.♪

♪We're glad that we didn't lose our souls,
Now we can reach our mission's goals,
Since we've kicked the virus,
We can kick old Krug the Kruddy's,
Kick old Krug the Kruddy's,
Kick old Krug the Kruddy's BUTT!!!!♪


Krug

Now the scene changes and we see the ugly, Krug the Kruddy, viewing Gary and Rosie singing, on his highly technical "viewmaster" apparatus.


Not THIS viewmaster!

More like this.



Krug - "UGLY?! Who said I'm UGLY?!! 

Narrator - "Uh, I'm...uh..just reading this Mr. Krug. Sorry. 

Krug - "You BEST be careful of what you read, pal! I've destroyed whole galaxies for less!!"




"Anyway...Drat, the VTTYBS did NOT take the worthless souls of Rosie and Gary, and they are mocking the mighty Krug!! I need to send them a "force" that will surely take them down!! Ha ha ha ha, Haaaa, ha ha ha, hee hee hee!!!"

Force? What force will the ruggedly handsome Krug send, to "take down" our glorious Glirkazoid G.I's?
G.I. stands for Glirkazoid icons!


Earth icons...can you name them?

Try to be patient! I know you'd like to know what "force" Krug will be sending, but unfortunately, you'll be "FORCED" to wait until next Wednesday!
