OUT 'n abOUT This Week
Greetings!    (I recommend that everyone click on the spot above - - "Having trouble viewing this email? Click here" -- this will expand the entire email and make it easier to read!!!  Thx. TG)

The Annual Halloween Party is just around the corner -- next Monday night -- the 31st.  Davis along with Alan are hosting this event at the Far Horizons East Club House.  I was not sure how the things were progressing for the party and I know other events coming up will need help so I asked Davis what the current status is on everything and what help he still needs -- his reply:

"Thom--

I have bought 2 large pans (6 lbs ea) of Stouffer's lasagna, one cheese and one vegetable, so we'll have enough to eat on Halloween.  Others should bring sides, drinks, and candy.

I also bought orange cups, Halloween plates, and black plastic flatware.  I plan to show a movie if one is wanted--either"The Haunting in Connecticut," "Son of Dracula, or the original "Dracula" with the Phillip Glass score.  It's only 3 hours so I don't know what is really needed--I'm open to suggestions.

Last week's movie we had 6.  I hope at least as many Monday, but there will be no movies in November unless we get a new place--Alan will be in Greece but will be back for Thanksgiving.

I'm hoping for the best for the Thanksgiving picnic.  I'll buy the same burgers and dogs Joseph and Larry did and donate them, but I hope someone else will kick in for the veggie dogs and burgers--they usually disagree with me so I can't use the leftovers.

We also need to get two turkeys for Thanksgiving itself.  If I have to donate one, I will, but I'd rather concentrate on plates, cups, flatware and side dishes as I've STILL never done a turkey from scratch.

I haven't even thought about restaurants for November.  No one came last week.  I have 5 so far for this Sunday.  Suggestions are welcomed.

Hope all's well.  Pet the pups for me.

Davis"

7:00pm - 9:00pm Movie Night "The Killer Inside Me" (2010)
Casey Affleck grins like a death's head with the flesh reattached in this noir thriller from British director Michael Winterbottom, which is sickeningly violent but undoubtedly well made. It has been widely condemned for the scenes in which women are brutally assaulted and for many, this film will be just hardcore misogynist hate-porn with a fancy wrapper, and those who admire it, or tolerate it, are merely the women-haters' useful idiots. My own view is that this is a seriously intentioned movie, which addresses and confronts the question of male hate and male violence in the form of a nightmare. Of this, more in a moment.

What's so frightening about Casey Affleck? You'll never look at Ben's cute little brother quite the same way...

THE PHILOSOPHY OF A PERSONS OUTLOOK ON LIFE CAN BE SUMMED UP IN THEIR LIVING WILL REQUESTS!

 

New Living Will Form



I, __________________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

 

______Sex

 

______The remote control

 

_______ NASCAR results

 

______a Steak

 

______a Margarita

 ______a Scotch and water

 

 _______Nachos and cheese and a few jalepenos


  ______a Bowl of ice cream with Chocolate fudge sauce

 ______Chocolate chip cookies


 ______Peanuts or cashews

 

 _______ To take a drive-anywhere

 

 it should be presumed that I won't ever get better.

When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day. At this point it is time to call the New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band to come do their thing at my funeral, and ask all of my friends to raise their glasses to toast the good times we have had and cry uncontrollable at my passing.

Puppy in Japan with Big Heart!!!

A PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large,
clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat.
The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder.
Shop owner Emiko Sakurada said it was the first time a
puppy with the marks had been born out of a thousand she had bred.
She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'.
The long-coated male Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan

The Banana Test 

Banana

There is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals,
 
a Lion, a Chimpanzee, a Giraffe, and a Squirrel, who pass by.
 
They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree.
 
 
Who do you guess will win?
 
 
Your answer will reflect your personality.
 
 
So think carefully . . . Try and answer within 30 seconds
 
 
Got your answer?
 
 
Now scroll down to see the analysis.
 
 
 
 
 
 
If your answer is: 
 


Lion = you're dull. 


Chimpanzee = you're a moron.


Giraffe = you're a complete idiot. 


Squirrel = you're just hopelessly stupid.



A COCONUT TREE DOESN'T HAVE BANANAS. 

Obviously you're stressed and overworked. 

You should take some time off and relax!
GO TO THE BAHAMAS

Purina Diet

The next time someone asks you a dumb question, wouldn't you like to respond like this?... 

Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart for Athena my wonder dog and I was in the check out line.

 A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant?  So since I'm retired, with  little to do, on impulse, I told her "no", that I didn't have a dog,  and that I was starting the Purina Diet again. Although I probably  shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an  intensive care ward with  tubes coming out of most of my
orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and  simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is  nutritionally complete, so I was going to try it again (I have to  mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now  enthralled with my story.)

Horrified , she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog  food poisoned me?  "I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an  Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.

Reading Proves a Hazard

Dear Friends and Family,
 
I just read an article on the dangers of heavy drinking.... 
Scared the crap out of me. So that's it!

After today, no more reading.

This is Priceless!!

 

Retirement and the Parking Ticket.

 
The other day I went downtown and went into a shop.  I was only in there
for about 5 minutes.  When I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.  I went up to him and said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break'?
 
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.  I called him a 'Nazi.'
 
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.
 
So I called him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. 

Then he started writing a
 third ticket.  This went on for about 20 minutes.  The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. 

Personally, I didn't care.
 
I came downtown on the bus.  The car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said "Perry in '12."

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired.  It's important to my health.
