Tuesday Hodgepodge
Hey Silverhorner's How ya doing tonight? It's time for Tuesday Hodgepodge which is just a fancy title to cover for the fact that I can't come up with anything truly witty to call this work of blogger art...so let's get on with it!
Well, by now you know that Marcello is back as Chief Garden Gnome and Head Researcher here at The View From Silverhorn Mountain, we're....um...glad to have him back. Things are pretty busy around the Lodge these days, what with tourist season getting underway and the weather starting to break, so I figured it was time to get some help. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of applicants for the job of Chief Garden Gnome at a ficticious mountain lodge, so I had to take Marcello back. Of course he's back with a bit of an attitude, but we'll get that out of him after he stands in the garden a few rainy nights.
I was popping dandelions tonight with my dandelion popper
Did you hear about the burglar, no wait, alleged burglar who stole thousands of dollars in jewelry from a Brooklyn, New York home, but left his resume and keys behind? This is one for the I AM STUPID files. It seems that after rounding up all the valuables he left his keys and a computer disk with his resume, which the coppers used to track him down. Actually they just phoned him using his phone number on the resume. The thief, (alleged) asked if they had happened to find his keys....
Uh-huh...yup....stupid files for that one....
And speaking of stupid, what about the State Trooper from Tennessee who stopped a pornstar for some violation, and ended up in a movie? It seems the officer had a...um...er...a rendevous with the young lady, who goes by the name, (are ya ready for this?) put the kids to bed, Barbie Cummings....well, Barbie and the officer allegedly reached a kind of alleged agreement and allegedly had an alleged um...let's just call it an "experience" in front of the police cruiser....with the cruiser camera on....an audition maybe?
Anyway, so the story goes, the officer allegedly sent a copy of the tape to Barbie, who being a blogger, (who knew??) did the only thing a blogger would do, and wrote about the um...err...oh yeah, "experience" on her blog, and being a little more techie than say...me...I believe she had the video on her blog too....uh-oh...Barbie...what were ya thinking? Long story short there is a state trooper with a bit of a sticky wicket as the British are so fond of saying....I think.
Now I try to stay away from opinion here at The View From Silverhorn Mountain, but c'mon what were they all thinking? The trooper for allegedly getting in the situation and Barbie for blogging about it? If it happened as has been alleged, (I love saying alleged) then the Trooper made a big frigging mistake, and Barbie wasn't really his friend. Ya just gotta wonder......maybe his hat was strapped on too tight or something.....
By the way, if you are reading this in Wellington, New Zealand, it's not a great idea to make fun of the Wellies as we so love to call them. Actually it's not exactly Wellington, it's really Palmerston North which is allegedly 155 kilometers from Wellington but I digress...It seems that actor and funnyman John Cleese, (Monty Python's Flying Circus) and another show that escapes my mind, called the City of Palmerston North a town instead of a city, and made reference to it being the 'suicide capital of the country'
How to win Palmerston North friends and influence people....now Mr Cleese has his own mountain in Palmerston North, erected in his honor at a landfill. They call the mountain of rubbish, Mt. Cleese, which is kinda nice I guess....at least they didn't call it Mt. Silverhorn, yet.....
Well I gotta go, the cops just called, seems they found my dandelion popper at the neighbors and want to give it back, all I have to do is go down to the station and claim it.....
