Confused And Dumbfounded Like Me?



Are you as confused and dumbfounded as me?



Of course you're not! However, you may feel the same way I do about wha hapnin' on TV nowadays. 



For instance, some of the ads feature some so called, "famous" personality, sports figure, actor, and I guess we're supposed to know who they are.





I don't know who they are! Do you? 



Maybe the commercial would have a bigger impact on me if I knew how IMPORTANT they are. It might as well be some average "Joe"  or "Jill" from down the block. 





So why don't they include the name and occupation of the "star" so I'll know if they have any credibility for me. Probably not, but I feel it's the least they can do for us folks out of the loop. 



What do you think? Do you know all of these "celebs" in the ads? I think there was a time when I did, but now, what day is this, anyway!



Do you ever watch an advertisement on TV very intently, and when it's over, you have NO idea what it was about, what the product was, or what point they were trying to make? 

No? Maybe it's just me, huh?

They will have a sports car driving down the road with an unknown celeb (unknown to me), who stops at a night club, where people are wearing cool, fashionable clothes, drinking adult beverages, and a band is playing some unknown song (unknown to me). At the end it will super-impose the word, "Daliplum," or something.

Okay, gang! I don't know if the ad is for the sports car, the night club, the clothing, the adult booze, the band, or something else!! 



Watch the 14 minutes of this video and you'll agree with me, or not!








Come on! Is it just me, or what? 



Here's what I want..."Hi! I'm John Wayne, the movie actor, I like smoking Camel Cigarettes! Buy them at your local store. Remember, if me, John Wayne, smokes Camel Cigarettes, you will like them too, so go buy them at your local store!"



Simple! To the point! No guessing! Maybe a little COPD in a few years, but at least you know what the heck he's advertising!! 

Tell me if any of you suffer from the same confused, dumbfounded state as me! I'll feel much better!!

OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY



Throughout the annals of history there has been a special few who have saved the world. 



Superman...



Peabody and Sherman...



Cartain Marvel (The female version)...

This is all well and good, however, only one amazing pair of heroes has surpassed them all by saving multiple universes, multiple times!!! 

Yes!! You guessed it!!! Our gorgeous Glirkazoids...

Rosie

 After a brief hiatus, our dysfunctional duo are champing at the bit to fight bad guys, destroy monstrous monsters and save, yes...more universes!




Let's look in on our glorious, Glirkazoid, giant destroyers (who now reside on the paradisaic planet
 of Zoot) and see wha hapnin'...




Gary - "Whatcha wanna do today?"

Rosie - "I don't know. Whatsyou wanna do?" 

Gary - "Let's do wha we did yesterday?"

Rosie - "Gary! We went to the Diamond Beach every single day this week! I'm getting bored, and we have barrels of diamonds gathered up!"




Gary - "Roger that, Rosie!"

Rosie - "Okay. Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger!!"

Gary - "So funny I forgot to laugh. Let's climb Mount Everlast again! That was a blast!"

Rosie - "Don't you remember, Gary! You accidentally blew up Mt. Everlast when you tried to light the barbeque grill with K99 powder! Speaking of BLAST!!!"




Gary - "Maybe we should abandon this extended vaca and go back to crime-fighting!!"

Rosie - "Do you mean giving up this cushy lifestyle and submitting ourselves to the pain, suffering, fears, tribulations and downright ugliness of being super heroes again?"

Gary - "Yeah."

Rosie - "That sounds AWESOME!!!"

Well, well, well, that's a deep subject! 

Rosie and Gary, back in the saddle again, if by saddle you mean the cockpit of the Silver Sausage Spazeship.



Hooray!!!!

Just Ignore The Bad Stuff



Most  folks are like me when it comes to the REALLY bad stuff that we see and hear on our preferred mode of outside communication, like TV, radio, computer, smart phone, alien transmissions...etc.



"How are we like you, Danny? That seems inconceivable!" 



Well, after we hear all the nasty-wasty stuff, we do our best to ignore it...fuhgeddaboudit...dismiss it...so that awful stuff does not roll around in our brains for too long.



How many of us can really do anything about world hunger, wars, plagues, murders and just plain wickedness that is happening hither and yon! 



But...and this is a BIG BUTT...


We all can do the tiny, little acts of kindness and love, to improve this dirty old world an inch at a time.



I don't have the gumption to list all the kind and loving things we can do, but you already know. It's just the matter of doing them.



Anyway, to illustrate what I'm talking about...YES...I wrote a song to illustrate (oh, wait, I already said, illustrate) describe what a lot of us do to rise above the miserable circumstances we experience every day through our communication devices...and here it is...
