Toy Prize Crane Claw

A rare self-portrait of Johnnny

We've all seen those things that could be described as a crane-claw that supposedly grabs toy prizes to be won. I don't know what the official name is of these units. How-a-bout a Toy Prize Crane Claw? Anyways, it seemed like another good opportunity for a rare self-portrait of St. Johnnny. In order to become a saint, you need two documented miracles. Thus, my slogan is: Just one more miracle! Thanks, St. Johnnny

Toast To Ourselves

From the dock, throw a rock, make a splash

Beware that small ripple may spread like a rash

Rings of itch affecting people like me

Only love is the balm that will set us all free

Rise up over clouds of mutual destruction

To hear more bubbles, and far less sucktion

Try to pump the flood, instead of flood the pump

Ride your waves of karma like Forrest Gump

Grumpy frown clown still waits for a laugh

Watching the intern explain his pie graph

Dessert in the den with some add-on poems

Usually includes some beers with foams

Toast to ourselves with some jelly and jams

Hopelessly adrift, but happy as clams.

Since the name of this blog is Johnnny's World, I thought an occasional self portrait would be appropriate. Most people download when they go to the water closet. This time I snapped a photo and uploaded. Happy New Year everybody! Welcome to another year (and decade) of blogging. Blog On!

Halloweekend

Happy Halloween Weekend everybody! This is how I looked tonight when Trick-or-Treaters door-belled for candy. Bonus: we get an extra hour of sleep tonight. G0od Evening.

Trick or Treat

We don't have a dog but a lot of people (in our neighborhood) do. So, the other day I purchased one box of Our Family Dog Biscuits (Multi-Flavor) to have on-hand for our passers-by. As Kit perused the box, she mentioned that the INGREDIENTS section included some interesting sounding items:

Wheat Flour (good start)
Wheat Middlings (never heard of these)
Meat and Bone Meal
Animal Fat (what animals?)
Dried Cheese Product (who doesn't love it?)
Liver Meal (but, of course)
Poultry By-Product Meal (which means what!?)
Dried Beet Pulp (my personal favorite)
Dried Milk
Bacon Fat
Wheat Germ Meal (sounds healthy)
Dried Molasses

These treats look like a veritable cornucopia of nutrition, all packed into handy little biscuit snacks. Now when our neighbor dogs stop by, I know exactly why they are so interested in what's in my pockets.

When you're walking around, with a Canon A540, looking for an interesting picture waiting to be taken, it's hard to pass up reflections.

If you were thinking

that these front yard flowers

are reflecting

in the passenger-side rear window

of a 1989 Honda Civic Hatchback

you would have been correct.

I could have just said

that the back of my car

was full of fresh flowers

but that would have been

misleading.

Legal Aliens

I recently had the pleasure of coming upon some aliens who had just landed.
Curiously, I did not feel any fear of abduction, just a calm sense of perhaps trying to have a dialogue with them, to gain some mutual understanding. They did agree to pose for a photo-op before we got started...

We agreed to take turns asking each other questions!

They first asked if they could speak to Our Leader, to which I said "Do you mean Hillary Clinton?", to which they retorted: "No, Tom Cruise!"

It was now my turn to ax, so I decided to throw them a two-part question: 1. "Why are you here?" and 2. "How long are you staying?"

Their answer was: "We are here to help Warm Your Planet", and "We are leaving because your Dear Leader has imposed a new UFO Tax, which is Driving us Out of Orbit!"

The Legal Aliens then surprised me with their next question: "Why didn't Adam Lambert win Season 8 of American Idol?" (Maybe you can help me out with a response here!)

My next two-parter: 1."What have you found to be the healthiest substance in the universe?" and, 2. "What do you use as your currency?"

Their answer to both parts: "Heineken."

Johnny Convention

Have you ever thought how much fun it would be to have a convention of people who all had your same name? You certainly would not have to wear any name tags. At a convention of Johnnys, you would find:

Johnny The Talk Show Host

Johnny The Environmentalist
Johnny The Musician

Johnny The Actor

Johnny The Adventurer (Johnny Quest)

Johnny The SuperHero

Brain Storm
