My Review Of The New Kelly Clarkson Show
I'm not gonna reveal my feelings about the premier of the Kelly Clarkson show right away. I want you folks to get "hooked" on the suspense of what my unbiased review may reveal (I already used REVEAL) uh...SAY...what my unbiased review may SAY!! We all remember Kelly Clarkson from American Idol. She was actually the FIRST American Idol winner...or was it America's Got Talent?
Anyway, America was in the title! She was cute! CUTER than a button (if you think buttons are cute), and that VOICE!! That amazing VOICE...was better, or at least as good as ANY voice I've ever heard!!!! In the years that followed her phenomenal win on America's Got Idols, or was it Prancing With The Stars, she had record breaking success making records (I know records are passe, but you know what I mean), with sold out performances, having babies, and being a mom to her stepchildren.
Okay, friends and neighbors...now we get down to the nitty gritty...the facts, mam, nuthin' but the facts...
The premier of Kelly's new show (I call her Kelly, even though I haven't the right) started with a tribute to working woman. Kelly came out singing that Dolly Parton song, "Working 9 to 5," whilst a music video played, that showed members of her audience (I think all women) working at their real life jobs as police officers, fire fighters and such.
Please watch this!
Her guest was Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson. It was supposed to be Kevin Hart, but Dwayne filled in, due to a car accident involving Kevin. Kevin's gonna be alright, boys and girls. (See how I know all these celebs on a first name basis? NOT!!)
Dwayne interrupted his honeymoon to fill in for his buddy, Kevin. For real!
At the end was a segment that highlighted the life of a woman who set up a food pantry in Oregon (I believe), and how the townsfolk paid her back.
Rating Chart
Kelly's singing: ๐๐๐๐๐
Kelly's bubbly personality:๐๐๐๐๐
Dwayne Johnson: ๐๐๐๐๐ Choosing Kevin Hart, even though he couldn't make it: ๐๐๐๐๐ Kelly's terrific band:๐๐๐๐๐ The video of the working women, and having those same, outstanding women in the audience to share their stories: ๐๐๐๐๐ The story of the woman who started the food pantry, and the town supporting her to the tune of thousands of dollars to keep the pantry open: ๐๐๐๐๐
The cuteness, sweetness, warmth, humor, and gregariousness of Kelly Clarkson:๐๐๐๐๐
America needs more shows like this! However, I'm just going by the FIRST show, on the other hand, I'd watch the show simply to hear that VOICE!!!! My overall rating: You guessed it:

JABBERWOCKY Won Oh Won
Sorry, folks! I haven't posted my blog since last Wednesday, but it's a fact of life that a LOT of things are more important than my silly blog, to be totally transparent.
"Wow!" You exclaim, with shocked amazement..."Danny boy admitted there are things more important than his precious blog!!" Disclaimer: Danny is not saying his blog is not important, but simply emphasizing the fact that there are certain world events, catastrophes, disasters, passing of friends and family (including pets), watching the Cardinals win the World Series, severe illnesses, accepting the Congressional Medal Of Honor, and being REALLY, REALLY tired, that may proclude my impotent blog from tom to tom. (impotent?) My goal is to NEVER miss a day, except for Sat. and Sun., because you fantastic folks deserve to receive the bestest, most funniest, profoundest, thought provokingest, heart warmingest blog in the whole wide worm! (what's wit da worms?)
Okay. "What's wit da worms," you ask, so inquisitively!
John Lennon, is the answer. He would often substitute strange words for normal words (in a jabberwocky style) , for no apparent reason.
"the translation was slow and full of jabberwocky"
It always tickled my innards when Lennon did this, so I adopted his amusing word wizardry, to thrill and amuse my fiends! However, my jabberwocky is super sane, compared to the "Walrus's!" The Faulty Bagnose John Lennon
Softly softly, treads the Mungle Thinner thorn behaviour street. Whorg canteell whorth bee asbin? Cam we so all complete, With all our faulty bagnose?
The Mungle pilgriffs far awoy Religeorge too thee worled Sam fells on the waysock/side And somforbe on a gurled, With her faulty bagnose!
Our Mungle speaks tonife at eight He tell us wop to doo and bless us cotten sods again Oamnipple to our jew You see! I'm not as crazy as you thought!!
I know. Copying from John Lennon seems low and lazy, but he copied Lewis Carroll, so there! JABBERWOCKY Lewis Carroll (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
First Alice In Wonderland Film Ever Made 1903
Anywho, I hobe thad x-planes me subratootin a cilly worm fo a regulert worm, sometoms!!
Have a GREAT MONDAY, FOLKS!!!

Out Of This World Wednesday..Eureka!
For those of you who have not been keeping up with these Out Of This World Wednesday exploits (exploit: a bold and daring feat), we have good news! A brief recap of the last few, exciting episodes... Our fearless Glirkazoid gladiators (Rosie and Gary) accepted a suicide mission to move The Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus 11 (Neprotonicus 11 is a planet doomed to destruction) to Neprotonicus 12 (a paradisaic planet that is very primitive), where the jewel will provide power for the new inhabitants that have recently arrived from Neprotonicus 11, after evacuating that planet...DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION!! (the narrator with the deep voice says "DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION" very powerfully, along with dramatic music!!)
Gary and Rosie have been braving the nasty elements and vicious creatures of Neprotonicus 11. The wild, wicked wind, hot, blue, molten blava, reanimated, fossilized, ferocious felines, and the unrelenting wisecracks from each other!! Gary - "I hope we're almost to the cavernous cave of The Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus 11, Rosie! We are almost out of Reese's Pieces, the wind has given me chapped cheeks, and the blue, bubbling blava is burning my bunions!"
Rosie - "Yes! According to our GPS (Glirkazoid Positioning System) we should be right on top of..." As Rosie is speaking, both of our spaze spelunkers see the ground open up at their tiny little feet, and they slide down, down, down into the cavernous cave of The Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus, into a massive mound of Reese's Pieces, which saves them from breaking their tiny little necks!
No neck.
Maybe a little neck?
Well, I'm not sure if they have necks, but they were not hurt.
Gary - "Eureka! (meaning: We've found it!) Start eating, Rosie!!"
Rosie - "Have you totally lost it, Gary? We didn't come here to find Reese's Pieces, although they ARE delicious, but to retrieve the Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus 11!!"
Gary - "That's exactly what we're doing, spaze cadet! The legend of The Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus 11 details the fact that The Great Jewel would be buried beneath a massive mound of Reese's Pieces, and we need to eat our way to the bottom! You in?"
Rosie - "I'm in like E.T., Gary!!!"
Will Rosie and Gary reach The Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus 11 before they:
1. throw up?
2. get caught in the coming implosion of the planet?
3. get sidetracked by a vein of Hershey Kisses?
4. get attacked by a the ginormous, hideous Guardian of The Great Jewel Of Neprotonicus 11?
Hey, kids! Don't forget to remember to join us next Wednesday for your favorite spaze blog that posts almost every Wednesday!

I Was Wrong Yesterday! What's New?
Okay. It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. I'm considered a short dude, according to today's standards, but it's still difficult to admit when I'm wrong. (I used to be average height in high school, but I shrunk)
Yesterday I said I'd only get 3 "hits" on my blog, due to the fact it was Labor Day, and all you guys would be busy doing all kinds of Labor Day activities, and not have tom to read my ridiculous blog! (Tom doesn't read that well, anyway)
Well, I was wrongo, my friends! In fact, I got a LOT of "hits" on my blog yesterday! Maybe even more than usual!!
I know it says YouTube, but change it to blog in your mind.
Here are my theories on why this phenomenal reversal of my prediction occurred...
Theory 1 : Folks don't do as much stuff as I thought, on Labor Day. I live in the past, and think it's still like when I was a kid. Where EVERYBODY grilled outdoors, played baseball, went swimming for the last time of the summer, drove around in their 57 Chevys, with the top down, played Horseshoes and Bottle Caps...whoa...I think I may be losing some of you here.
My dad and his friends would take bottle caps from beer bottles, and grab a broomstick, to play a baseball type game that was much more difficult than baseball, because tiny bottle caps are harder to hit! Now, if you don't know about Horseshoes, you're too young for this blog! Just joshin' wit ya! (If you don't know what joshin' means...never mind)
Theory 2 : Three of you saw my blog, as I predicted, and you messaged everybody to click on my blog, because I said only 3 people would read it on Labor Day, just to prove me wrong! (No, I'm not paranoid)
Theory 3 : My blog is a lot more popular than I ever dreamed, in my WILDEST dreams, and it don't matter if it's Labor Day, Christmas, Boxing Day (for you in the UK and countries connected to the UK, past or present), your wedding day, or ANYTHING, you're gonna read Bloggadocious 222!!! (Bloggadocious 222 is the name of my blog, for you in Goofy Ridge)
Ha ha ha ha ha!! I had to laugh, myself, at the last theory!!!
I guess it's not always bad to be wrong about something. Like saying I'll NEVER win the million dollar lottery and you do! Or, I have no chance in H-E- double hockey sticks, to win an Olympic gold medal, and there you are, standing on the platform, while they put the gold medal for hockey around your neck!!
So, I can say I'm happy about being wrong, yesterday, for the first tom in my lice!!

Labor Day Blogging Is A Waste Of Tom
I know, I know! You guys are REALLY busy today, so doing my blog today (Labor Day) is basically a waste of tom.
However, since I never do anythang, I'm still posting my blog to pass the tom.
You're probably wondering why I replace time with tom, from tom to tom.
Here is the reason. A few years back I went to Nashville to have some of my songs published by the record folks, and it did not work out the way I expected. 999% of the places would not even let me in the building and the other one per cent just wanted money to publish my classic country songs. Anyway, I went to a Nashville restaurant, and was lamenting to a waitress about my futile attempts to "hit the big time" and she said something I'll NEVER forget!!
In her strong southern accent she exclaimed, "It takes tom." Wow! "It takes tom!" Tom who? Tom Cruise? Tom Jones? Tommy from the Who rock opera? Tom T. Hall? Yeah! It must be Tom T. Hall!!
Seriously folks, I knew she meant it takes time, but I thought it sounded funny, so I've been playing on that theme for about 20 years now.
I know, it's dumb, but I can't help it. What difference does it make, anyway? I'll only get about 3 "hits" on Bloggadocious 222 today. You guys are busy having fun, grilling out, running around, drinking beer and stuff, but don't worry about me, I don't have tom for that kinda stuff, anyway!
Tom is not really that much fun, so even if he was around, I'd still be bored! (there I go again)
