HOPPY TALK 

KEEP TALKIN' HOPPY TALK

It's important you watch this video before reading my blog!

Did you watch it?

Really?

Now, don't say you did if you didn't, okay?

You REALLY did, hmmm?

Good! 

Wasn't it cute? 

However, the cuteness is not nearly as important as the message in the song!

To put it simply, be positive! 

Talk about happy things, whatever is good and upbuilding! The bible says something about that...uh...let me see...

Phillipians 4:8...Finally, brethren, whatever is 

true, 

whatever is 

honorable, 

whatever is right,

 whatever 

is 

pure,

 whatever is lovely, 

whatever is of good repute, 

if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of 

praise, dwell on these things.

That is so true! Nobody likes a negative Nancy, or Nick!

I sure don't! Even when it's me!

We have to be taught to be negative, bigoted, narrow minded, hateful, and fearful of those who are "different" than us, according to Rodgers and Hammerstein...And those dudes were smart!

Please watch this video 2! Thanks!

In conclusion...

Short Blog Post Today

I saw a post on Facebook from a liberal that said we should not set the country back 50 years by voting conservative. 

I agree. I wish we would set the country back 238 years to the time of the Declaration Of Independence! 

Happiness is an awesome concept!

I started out this blog in black and white to show you how little things, like simple colors, can make us happier.

A couple of color changes and we start feeling a bit better! 

We also like cute cartoons with funny captions in a blog post, to cheer us up!

Also, folks like sharing their opinions on things, and it makes them happy to do so. So that's why I'll ask mind probing questions from tom to tom. (By the way, plays on words, like using tom instead of time, is very funny to brilliant minded people!)

For instance...

Who is your favorite cartoon character?

What foods do you refuse to eat, under ANY circumstances? 

Does Santa Clause exist only in your heart, or is he REALLY REAL?

I would estimate that about 89% of everybody loves cute photos of animals, and become quite happy when I include them in my blog...the other 11% have something seriously wrong with them, for sure!

And I truly believe that my wonderful friends and family find happiness in knowing I write this stuff for them, to cheer them up a bit, and let them know I'm always thinking about them, and would visit them if I had the gas money!

Love you guys...and gals...to borrow a phrase from Ted Drewes, the ice cream guy...I mean frozen custard!

Yet, another happiness inducer!!

CLICK ON MY BLOG by Danny Maness

Click on my blog, It will not harm you,

It may dismay, it might alarm you,

Or cause some mild insanity,

Don't be afraid, it's only me.

Sometimes my thoughts are esoterical,

But there's no need to be hysterical,

Just realize it's all in fun,

Happiness is NOT a gun! 

Not guns or wars with people fighting,

Just happy things is what I'm writing...about,

and silly stories from my brain,

Bout crazy, wacky, wild insane...folks.

Click on my blog, it ain't that rough,

I write about a lot of stuff,

I write so much you're bound to love,

At least one thing that makes you...uh...laugh.

I was born to entertain,

In the sunshine and the rain,

All you guys in diverse weather,

Because we need to love each other,

In wind and rain and stormy night,

Who just said, "go fly a kite?"

I'll fly a kite, I'll dance and sing,

I will do most anything,

To make you laugh and bring you joy,

Even more if  you're in Illinois.

BURMA SHAVE

We Illinois residents need a bit of cheering up, 

don't we!

Did You Ever Feel Like Me?

I Doubt It?

Me, with radio legend, Greg Batton!
I'm the short dude!

I have a few quirks that are completely normal to me, but may sound extremely abnormal to you.

I cannot hold anything in my mouth, besides food, without gagging!

You know, how someone will put an object they are holding in their mouth to free both hands to do something. Like a pen.

I can have the pen (or any other object) in my mouth for about 3 seconds before the gagging reflex begins, which turns into dry heaves after two more seconds, and lets not talk about what happens next! 

I cannot bite into a popsicle stick without getting creepy cold chills up and down my spine, and I get that same spine chilling feeling from just touching one of those rough cardboard drink carriers they give us at Micky-Dee's! In fact, I'm getting cold chills just writing about it...for real!

I can't go to bed without making sure there is not ONE crumb on the sheet! I'll take my hand and brush any seen or imaginary crumbs off, before I climb in.

When I do dishes, I have to wash everything twice, and rinse everything twice, just to make sure I did not miss any stuck food on the dishes or utensils, because finding food residue on my plate or utensil drives me MAD! Mad I tell you! Stark raving MAD! 

Well, maybe not that bad, but it DOES freak me out!

I will not drink anything all the way to the bottom of a bottle. This behavior is based on reality, for a change. 

One of my sisters (I can't remember which one...I had so many) was drinking a bottle of some soft drink when we were kids, and when she reached the end, there was something that looked like a slimy worm lurking at the bottom! Oh, gag!

So, for about 60 years now, I've been watching for that creature at the bottom of my bottles! Including Tequila bottles! 

I do not like my legs stretched out when I drive. I feel more safe and comfortable with my legs kind of bent and crumpled up, for some masochistic reason. 

I would rather eat a piece of cheese rolled up in a slice of lunch meat, than have a sandwich. I think the bread takes away the flavor of anything on it. 

I do my very best not step on any kind of insect...ant, cricket, pill bug, or even spider! It's not a religious thing...I just think they have as much a right to live as me! 

I love the idea of going out in sub-zero temperatures, and dressing so warm that I can't even feel the cold! It's kind of a cozy feeling for me.

I think the taste of Bayer aspirin is GREAT! Even as a child, I loved the taste of aspirin, and not just the sweet baby aspirin, the REAL, UNCUT STUFF! (However, I never abused, or over used the stuff)

This is kind of worrisome! When I started writing this I didn't realize how many quirks I had, and I haven't even scratched the surface yet, brothers and sisters! 

At least, I'll have something to write about again on another morn'!

Very Cool Things Are Hapnin'!

Greg Batton on the wagon!

The premier of the Asian Carpnado movie went swimmingly...get it? Carp? Swimmingly? 

Anyway, there was a packed house and people laughed! That was nice!

Now...Greg and Dan are sending me on a mission to find Ray Liotta, and I'm doing a video of the whole dang thang! 

I also wrote the Lookin' for Ray Liotta song that is really funny, if I say so myself, and I just did! ( I cannot reveal anything about the song yet, due to contract negotiations, copyright infringement thingy's, and other stuff too esoteric to explain to the common indivisible! 

I'm running on a tight sheds ya'll, so I'll keep this abbreviated, to the MAX! 

See ya, later! 

30 THOUSAND VIEWS!!!

I know that most of you do not click on my blog when you see it on Facebook, and I don't blame you, because I'm a pretty boring guy most of the tom! 




Tom who?

However, there are a lot of folks reading this ridiculously boring crap, because I have 30,000 views! 

Yaaaaay!

Whoda thunk that, hmmm? 

NOBODY, that's who! I'm tellin' ya, NOBODY! Not even ME! 

I need to apologize for not creating an OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY episode for today, but this event was so monumental I had to share it with my fans! Whoever they may be!










That's right. I do not know where all of these views are coming from, because I hardly ever receive a comment...except from my wife, and Cheryl (Mim, Yellow Rose) Merritt, Kiel, Dee-Dee (my red haired sister), Yozie, from Yoz Creative, David Parker, Ray Liotta, and Sphinx, The Talking EEL! 

I DO know that people have a lot of trouble trying to make a comment on my blog! Blogger makes it a bit difficult! Nothing against Blogger! Oh, NO, Blogger has been WONDERFUL! (I really don't want to tick the Blogger folks off, and them take away my Blogging site)

In conclusion, like Jimmy Durante always said, "Good night all of my Bloggadocious fans, where ever you are!" (Or something like that)

OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY

Size does not matter in the vast expanse of matter and anti-matter we like to call the universe. 

What's the matter? I'm using the word "matter" too much? Does it really matter? 

An awesome view of the Matterhorn.

What was I talking about? I forgot!

Oh, yes! Size does not matter in the outer reaches of outer space (hey, I think I'm having an outer-body experience) where there are gigantic creatures, as big as our Earth, on down to itty bitty creatures that are 100 trillion times smaller than a quark! 

quark¹

kwärk/

noun

PHYSICS

1. any of a number of subatomic particles carrying a fractional electric charge, postulated as building blocks of the hadrons. Quarks have not been directly observed, but theoretical predictions based on their existence have been confirmed experimentally.

In fact, our super heroes, Yellow Rose and Gary, are only about four, earth inches, tall, but they are celebrated and revered by every race, creature, tribe and tongue that have respect for whatever is good, true and lovable! 

Almost every encounter with gruesome, fuggly, snarling, dirty creatures is like a David and Goliath scenario! 

Remember the Roadhouse movie with deep voiced Sam Elliot, and little Patrick Swayze, where everybody kept telling him,"I thought you'd be bigger," and then he would kick mucho buttinski? 

Do you see the stunning similarity of Patrick Swayze to Gary and Yellow Rose? 

What do you mean...NO?!

This whole tom I've been trying to get it through your thick skull that...whoops...sorry...I should realize that complex space theories and complicated inter-dimensional concepts are not easily understood by rookie humans.

The point is...let's see...the point proves to be...umm...you don't have to be big and burly, you can even look a little girly, with a little girly grin...and STILL WIN, WIN, WIN!! 

Just like Yellow Rose and Gary ALWAYS do, do, do!!

If you have been reading my blog for a long tom, you already know Yellow Rose as a master at weaponry (with quite a gun collection), a super master of the ancient martial art of keek-yo-bott, a tactical, analytical genius, and kinda cute!

As for Gary...he is..umm...let's see...not afraid to try ANYTHING...even if Yellow Rose thinks it's a dumb idea!

That's why they make such a great team! Gary is always stepping into deep doo-doo (see doggie above), and Yellow Rose gets him out of trouble! Which makes for exciting, and funny adventures! 

Remember, they are pretty small creatures, but have defeated adversaries a thousand times their size, over and over again! 

How?!

God helps them! Every mission they go on is a mission from God! (Like the Blues Brothers)

There is no other way they could overcome all of the insurmountable odds without the help of Jehovah Jireh!

Question: "What does it mean that God is Jehovah-Jireh?"

Answer:“Jehovah-Jireh” is one of the many different names of God found in the Old Testament. “Jehovah-Jireh” (or YHWH-Yireh) means "The LORD Will Provide" (Genesis 22:14). It is the name memorialized by Abraham when God provided the ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac.

Ain't it cool that Yellow Rose and Gary worship the same God as you and me?  Whoda thunkit! 

Unless you're an atheist or egg-nostik or something like that! That would be sad, because how ya gonna defeat gargantuan, humongous, wicked enemies without Jesus...hmmm? 

For all you uninitiated that don't know...Jesus/Jehovah/ Yahweh/ King Of Kings/ Mighty God...all names for the creator of all things who will help us in the same manner as he did with Noah, Moses, King David, Daniel...and Yellow Rose and Gary! 

Ain't that good news?!

Sure it is! 

Now don't you feel better?! 

Good! 

God bless you!
