Hey Silverhorner's!!Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. Let's get to it...
In a scene reminiscent of Marcello's departure from The View From Silverhorn Mountain, Rosie O'Donnell has left The View! (Of course Marcello is now back on Silverhorn, after flopping in his own blog endeavors, Marcello's Place) I doubt Rosie O'Donnell will be returning to The View anytime soon.
Rosie asked for an early out to her contract which had about a month left on it. Producers said OK and she's gone. No one is saying for sure if it had anything to do with the big on screen scrap she had with The View co-star, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, but I bet it did.
Rosie and Elisabeth, or 'Beth' as we like to call her here on the Mountain, got into it on the show over Beth's failure to defend Rosie in the media following a statement she made about U.S. troops in Iraq being "terrorists".....oh Rosie, what were ya thinking?
Personally I am not a Rosie fan, so I am not all broke up about her departure, but on the other hand I seldom watch The View either because I hate the sound of the 4 of them squabbling and all trying to talk at once. Admit it, you know that's what happens....it gets dreadful to listen to sometimes.
In this case, and not because I don't like Rosie, but I really have to take Elisabeth's side, after all, why should she be required to defend someone who says something about the U.S. troops being terrorists. First of all, it's not the troops themselves that are the terrorists. Who the terrorists actually are depends on your point of..pardon the pun...view....but it isn't the troops. Those are young men and women who are serving their country, many paying the ultimate sacrifice, to call them terrorist is criminal in itself in my opinion.
So whether you believe in the war or not, whether the terrorists are in Bagdad or Washington remains to be seen and is a matter of opinion, but to label the troops that way....tsk..tsk....
As for Elisabeth Hasselbeck's apparent neglect to defend Rosie's statement, why on earth should she? Rosie O'Donnell is delusional if she thinks Hasselbeck should have defended a position she didn't share.
Whew...I'm on a rant tonight...better get Marcello in here to tone things down....
So long Rosie

Prince Charles In Green Wax
Hey Silverhorner's
I'm sorry if tonight is a little short. The wife is trying to save my overweight 48 year old ass from an early premature death so she is making me go for walks after supper. Tonight was walk number 1....she says we are gonna work up to longer walks...this one took 35 minutes...we got to the end of the driveway and she figured I had enough when I started mentioning that I could probably use an asprin...and a defribulator. I'm thinking of putting one at the end of the driveway for occasions like this. Yes it's a long driveway, at least 40 feet from the house....we were walking pretty fast but it took quite a while because I stopped about halfway for a cigarette...
Marcello, our Chief Garden Gnome and Researcher here at Silverhorn Lodge is away on assignment already. We dispatched our trusty Garden Gnome Researcher to Denver,Colarado, when some runaway rail cars spilled beer all over the place after they crashed into another parked locomotive and derailed. We sent him off with the biggest wet vac we could find.....
On another note, I see that Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London, England has unveiled the organic, green, environmentally friendly wax version of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and heir to the British Throne. The good Madame who has enjoyed...ah...waxing the Prince before, has come out with a wax replica made of recycled wax. Why you ask? Because the Prince has been a very outspoken public figure in the fight against climate change and global warming, preaching "green" and I don't mean Irish Beer. So the Wax Museum has created a green Prince and it is on display now at the Museum, try to get there to see it before next Tuesday which I believe is green box day in London and we can't guarantee he will still be there....
This just in, Marcello just called, he is turning around and coming home, apparently he found out the spilled beer was Coors......

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
as I like to call it. The thing is great, stick it in the dandelion, step on it, and squeeze the trigger, pull and up pops the dandelion root and all...I throw them back over on the neighbors place owing to the fact that I believe they came from his place in the first place. I don't think he has figured it out yet....
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.....

Gnomes and Suds!
Hey Silverhorn Readers! It's me, your old pal Marcello, Chief Garden Gnome here at Silverhorn Lodge, back after a long hiatus. Which is another way to say I was canned, but managed to finally get my job back after sucking up to the boss...a lot...in fact it's still going on....but I need the job.
My own little attempt at a blog didn't go so well...for one thing I don't have my own computer...makes being a blogger difficult to say the least....
So, needless to say, now that me, and the rest of the gnome gang are back, the Boss has some big ideas about what to do with us, all of course with the idea of making some money for him. This weekend was no exception. After reading about a nude carwash in Australia called Bubbles and Babes, being given the OK by the police down there, he had us out front of Silverhorn Lodge this weekend, you guessed it, washing cars...
He called it Gnomes n' Suds and had us wearing...you guessed it..speedo bathing...um...bathing suits...said it would be good for business....personally I found it a little um...cool...the water that is....and you know what cold water does to guys in speedos...even if we are garden gnomes...I mean really!
However, we were a hit, and now he says we are going to do that every weekend this summer....well I gotta go try and dry my speedo, apparently there is a photo shoot in the morning for the billboard...there's a billboard?
Did ya hear about the guy from Huntington West Virginia who got shot in the head and slept right through it? Talk about waking up with a hangover. Apparently he didn't realize he was shot until the next morning when he noticed his head was bleeding....must have thought his dream was pretty damm realistic.

Deep Fried...um..Testicles....
If you have a hankering for something different, aren't worried about the possible effects of deep fried foods, head on over to Elderon, Wisconsin for something deep fried and definitely different.
Apparently folks from Wisconsin love their fryers and will deep fry practically anything...seems I recall writing something about this before.....oh never mind, memory lapses are common around my age...now where was I? Oh yeah, deep fried Wisconsonites..no..Wisconsonites who deep fry.
It seems regular fare around Wisconsin includes deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies and now, they have come up with the ultimate in deep fried stuff....you guessed it, and if you didn't you better head on over
HERE
Yup, Wisconsonites, are chowing down on goat, lamb and bull um...testicles...ouch...in fact last weekend over 300 people paid $5 for the All-You-Can-Eat Goat, Lamb and Bull Testicles...deep fried that is....
It was the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill where eating is at the very least, an adventure! Yup Mama and the boys cook up about 100 pounds of testicles for what they call a "nut fry" uh-huh...why do I find this so...um...uncomfortable....
Apparently they are good with between slices of bread covered in tartar sauce...oh my GOD!!! Hold it right there! What on earth am I talking about? Has blogging finally deep fried my brain? I am sitting here writing to the world about eating deep fried bull testicles...I have really gone over the edge on this one, I mean, making fun of Slim McGrat and Faith Hill was one thing, posting links to Michelle Manhardt nude pics was another, talking about wrinkly nudists was shameful, even linking to the Saddam Hussain hanging was pretty desperate...but deep fried testicles....I gotta rethink things around here....
I gotta go...does anyone else find it hot in here...why do I keep squeezing my legs together....? MARCELLOOOOOO!!!!! HELP!!!!!

Old Nudists on Silverhorn Mountain
Hey Silverhorner's welcome up to Silverhorn Lodge on the side of beautiful, shimmering Silverhorn Lake...high atop majestic Silverhorn Mountain.
Well it seems that yet again, I have managed to um...tick somebody off. I had a comment from one of my readers, Todd A, who said, following my post Do You Want Fries With That" and I quote, the following:
"Hey I know that Faith is "way hot" but I think that referring to Tim McGraw as "whatshisname" is a little much. I just bought tickets for their Portland Show and Paid 180 bucks for row 4 tickets (got them here Soul2Soul
) and IMHO as much as Faith is great I don't think I would have paid that much to see just her."
Sorry Todd, I guess my lapse of memory where I forgot Faith Hill's husband's name, "whathisname" was a little off the mark. I should have shown some respect and at least capitalized the "W" as in "Whatshisname" I apologize for the oversight, both to you and Tom NcGraw who I am sure is a wonderful fellow and a great singer. Nor should I have made mention of him being a "hat act" hiding his pointy, bald head under his cowboy hat...sorry about that Jim McRaw....
I MUST BE STUPID
From the I Must Be Stupid Files, a teenager in Lake Luzerne managed to shoot himself in the stomach hitting the ends of bullets with a hammer....no gun involved, after all, we all know guns are dangerous. Damion M. Mosher put the .223 caliber cartridges, (that's gun guy talk for bullets) in a vice and then hit them with a hammer and screwdriver in the primer, (that's the thing that makes the bullet shoot)
Not to worry though, young Damion was treated at the hospital and released. He was apparently trying to fire the bullets without a gun in order to collect the brass casings which he could sell for scrap. Damion....stay in school...get an education...there has to be a better way to earn a living....
NOW FOR THE GRATUITIOUS NUDITY PORTION
Here at Silverhorn Lodge we have had our share of nudity, for example, remember the Michelle Manhardt fiasco of February 2007...oh boy...that was memorable...and we have had a few um...er...naturalist groups up to the Lodge for meetings...I told the wife I thought they were nature nuts..you know...bird watchers...well it seems the wife turned into a bird watcher herself the weekend we had the Silverhorn Mountain Outdoor Naturalist Society stay at the lodge for their annual spring "Sun Allover Event" but....well...I am going to let that go to your imagination...think Sesame Street....
Apparently nude recreation ain't what it's 'cracked' up to be...it seems that the old expression "How's it hanging?" is now answered a little differently at nudist resorts these days. The answer now is, "It's hanging pretty low." It seems the nudist crowd are growing a little old and we all know what that means to a career like um...well...nudist...not good at all....
Nudists are all getting too old, and attempts to draw a younger crowd aren't working so well, but for the life of me I cannot imagine why....For some reason nudists these days are over 35 and in some cases a lot over 35...and encouraging young folks to sign up and leave their clothes in the closet are not catching on. Some folks in the nude resort biz say it is because of the cost, but I don't buy that...c'mon you save on bathing suits...
Even with deep, deep...discounts for young folks at nudist resorts, the younger set seem to be holding on to their clothes. Nobody seems to know why.
I blame it on fashion....
Thanks for coming by...gotta go now, I'm trying to iron out some wrinkles....

Paris Hilton Sentenced to 45 Days In Jail
Hey Silverhorner's welcome to the mountain!
Well it appears socialite celebrity Paris Hilton is off to the slammer for a little vacation, if you can call it that. A judge ordered Paris to jail for 45 days for driving with a suspended licence after a mishmash of run in's with traffic cops. Paris Hilton seemed to be under the misquided idea that driving was an inalienable right, and a licence was only something you needed if you were someone else.
So, like Britney Spears before her, during her stay at the rehab center, Paris is going to a rehab center of a little different style. The good part is she didn't have to shave her head to get there. Although who knows what might happen once she is inside...behind bars...locked up...incarcerated.... The judge has ordered her to report to jail on June 5th, denying any alternative options like paying to choose the prison of her choice, community service, or house arrest. I am thinking an appeal is not far off....We would have taken her here at Silverhorn Lodge, business has been slow lately, having Paris Hilton under house arrest might have perked things up a bit. Besides, with Marcello gone, I'm still on the lookout for a replacement Chief Garden Gnome...not that Paris Hilton is a garden gnome...far from it...garden gnomes seem to have more sense....
I'm hoping to see some video of her jail time show up on Youtube!

Larry King Broadcasting for 50 Years!
Larry King...we all know him. Larry is the King of television talk shows and tonight, May 4, 2007, on CNN, the television icon is celebrating 50 years of broadcasting, 50 years of broadcasting history.
After 50 years, there aren't too many celebrities left that haven't been interviewed by Larry King, and it seems they all love the guy.
That could be because Larry is so damm old, and loveable. I don't know if he was always like that or not.
Larry started in radio May 1, 1957 as a DJ at a little radio station in Miami Beach, and at the time had no idea of what lay ahead of him.
Something like me, I started with a little blog called The View From Silverhorn Lodge about 2 years ago, and now look...I'm...ahh...well...we changed the name to The View From Silverhorn Mountain and I'm...well...ah...well I am still here, and this little production has grown from the combined efforts of a man and a few cement garden gnomes with a little writing ability to what is now a....well...it's still here and that's what matters...
Larry King and I share a lot in common. For example...we both wear glasses, I like suspenders, he wears them, he's been on television for about 50 years, I have been watching television for about 50 years, he knows almost every celebrity on earth, me too, the difference is, they know him, they don't know me...fairly late in life Larry snagged himself a babe several years his junior and started a new family...I am hoping to do the same....well, at least the part about snagging a babe several years my junior....Larry hunches his shoulders and leans on his arm while sitting behind the desk interviewing someone, I hunch my shoulder and lean on my arm too, but I'm usually not interviewing anyone when I do it..yup....Larry calls a lot of his colleagues and other big celebrities that he knows by their last name, sort of like a term of endearment...I do that too, but only because I cannot remember their first names. Larry likes the ladies...ok that one we do have in common....
Larry King, I know you read The View From Silverhorn Mountain, so congratulations Larry...you are the King!

After 50 years, there aren't too many celebrities left that haven't been interviewed by Larry King, and it seems they all love the guy.
That could be because Larry is so damm old, and loveable. I don't know if he was always like that or not.
Larry started in radio May 1, 1957 as a DJ at a little radio station in Miami Beach, and at the time had no idea of what lay ahead of him.
Something like me, I started with a little blog called The View From Silverhorn Lodge about 2 years ago, and now look...I'm...ahh...well...we changed the name to The View From Silverhorn Mountain and I'm...well...ah...well I am still here, and this little production has grown from the combined efforts of a man and a few cement garden gnomes with a little writing ability to what is now a....well...it's still here and that's what matters...
Larry King and I share a lot in common. For example...we both wear glasses, I like suspenders, he wears them, he's been on television for about 50 years, I have been watching television for about 50 years, he knows almost every celebrity on earth, me too, the difference is, they know him, they don't know me...fairly late in life Larry snagged himself a babe several years his junior and started a new family...I am hoping to do the same....well, at least the part about snagging a babe several years my junior....Larry hunches his shoulders and leans on his arm while sitting behind the desk interviewing someone, I hunch my shoulder and lean on my arm too, but I'm usually not interviewing anyone when I do it..yup....Larry calls a lot of his colleagues and other big celebrities that he knows by their last name, sort of like a term of endearment...I do that too, but only because I cannot remember their first names. Larry likes the ladies...ok that one we do have in common....
Larry King, I know you read The View From Silverhorn Mountain, so congratulations Larry...you are the King!

It's A Kerfluffle!
Hey Silverhorner's Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. Well, what can I tell ya tonight that you don't already know? Probably not much. I did hear today from one of the oldest members of Silverhorn Lodge, umm...well not the oldest member..ah...yeah the oldest but not the oldest if you know what I mean....she is older..no-no-no...she is an old member...maybe I should say long lasting member...nope...that is definitely not it...well...I guess...how would I know...I just mean she has been around Silverhorn Mountain for a long time...almost as long as there has been a Silverhorn Mountain...I'm talking about Alphonse...or is it Carlyle? I'm never sure which of the old girls is which....
Carlyle wanted me to know the meaning of the word "kerfluffle" which of course I didn't...because well...I didn't although it is a word that trips off the tongue doesn't it...say it with me, ker-fluff-el
It turns out "Kerfluffle" means a row, disturbance, from the Scottish language, "to fluffle" which is to "throw into disorder"....Carlyle, ever the thinker, looked the word up on the internet and got the meaning for me so it must be right, we all know everything on the net is true.
In other news, I'm sorry to say that the...wait...lets see if you can figure it out...shall we? (he said raising an eyebrow mysteriously.)
Here is a little bit of dialogue to help...
(read this very fast)
Rory:"Hi! I just found out that one of the most entertaining televised entertainment on television for family viewing is over, well, almost over, the last show is May 15th."
Lorelei:"Hi Rory, Whatever do you mean Rory, how can that be? It can't be can it? They wouldn't do that to us would they?I mean we have millions of viewers everyweek tuning in to watch us talk very fast and quick and never miss a beat with our answers, folks who think we talk like this all the time.
Rory:"They could, they would, and they did, but they shouldn't"
Lorelei: "But why Rory, why?"
Rory: "Apparently we actors are burning out trying to read and remember these fantastic actor lines and deliver them, quick and snappy, creating the more than a little exciting repartee that our fans have come to love and no so well while we try to create a generation of very fast talkers out of impressionable young girls."
OK, by now the astute readers among you have figured out what show I am talking about and realize the extent of the devastation on family television viewers the world over as the show that we all watched even if we didn't like it. OK, sorry, I just realized, this is Silverhorn Lodge, I'm nots sure if there are any such thing as "asture readers" so I'll tell ya what I am talking about....
The Gilmore Girls, that quick talking show is ending it's seven season run on May 15th. I for one was a long time coming to the show, but when I did, I became quite enamoured with the conversations between Rory Gilmore, played by Alexis Bledel and her TV single mom, Lorelei Gilmore, played by Lauren Graham.
I first watched this show as somewhat a captive audience of The Gilmore Girls as my daughters convinced me to watch it with them. At first I did it for them, but after the first episode, I became...well...shhh...hooked....I'd prefer to keep this kind of quiet....no telling...
Well, that's it from Silverhorn Mountain for tonight, I gotta go, Marcello is taking me out to supper..he's sucking up, trying to get his old job back as Chief Garden Gnome here at Silverhorn Lodge...
I can't for the life of me figure out why Carlyle thought it important for me to know the meaning of that word....

Coffee Anyone?
Hey Silverhorner's
Well I think we have some good news for all of you who like to imbibe on a few cups of coffee! Reuter's Health is advising that drinking coffee is helpful in avoiding type 2 diabetes and may also help prevent certain cancers,
Yup, a group of wide awake health professionals conducted studies on coffee consumption and diabetes and found coffee just might be a good thing. Their spokesperson was quick to point out though that, "It's not like we're promoting coffee as the new health food and asking people who don't like coffee to drink coffee for their health."
There's also evidence that coffee may protect against some kinds of colon, rectal and liver cancer...the scientists are thinking coffee may be helping in this...ah...end...by...um...well...shall we say by speeding things up.....
"Speeding things up" may not be a good thing if you happen to be visiting a park in Walkersville Maryland where vandals set fire to a men's bathroom at the Walkerwville Community Park. Officials there have announced that all paper products have been removed from the bathrooms...ha.ha...how foolish can townspeople be....remember in the old days of western movies? The townspeople were always the worst...quick to turn on the good guy, quick to back down from a fight leaving the good guy to fight for them...oops I'm digressing....The town officials have decided to remove the toilet paper, leave the hand dryers and tell visitors to bring their own toilet paper. Now that is a picture I cannot get out of my mind...imagine now...how you gonna do that with a hand dryer?
The good news is, the "crackdown" (get it?) on toilet paper is going to combat vandalism, graffiti and drug use...wow...this is quite a concept...toilet paper is apparently among the causes of vandalism, graffiti and drug use....
