  • 20090720-Tootsie Pop

    Here is a one of my favorite televised programming via a downloaded copy from YouTube.com video by wilmagirl: Tootsie Pop Commercial – Mr. Cow – Mr. Fox – Mr. Turtle – Mr. Owl

    Below is my transcript of the video:

    Mr. Cow!

    Yes?

    How many licks does it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

    Oh, I don’t know. I always end up biting. Ask Mr. Fox for he’s much clever than I.

    Mr. Fox!

    How many licks does it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

    Why don’t you ask Mr. Turtle for he’s been around a lot longer than I. He-he! Me? I bite.

    Mr. Turtle!

    How many licks does it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

    I never made it without biting. Ask Mr. Owl for he’s wiser than us all.

    Mr. Owl!

    How many licks does it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

    A good question: Let’s find out! 1 – 2 – 3! Three!

    If there’s anything I can’t stand is a smart owl!

    How many licks does it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
    The world may never know!

  • 20090720-The Preamble

    Here is a one of my favorite televised programming during my growing years in the mid-1970’s via a downloaded copy from YouTube.com by creatively210:

    Schoolhouse Rock – The Preamble

    Below are the lyrics to Schoolhouse Rock – The Preamble:

    Hey, do you know about the U.S.A.?
    Do you know about the government?
    Can you tell me about the Constitution?
    Hey, learn about the U.S.A.

    In 1787 I’m told
    Our founding fathers did agree
    To write a list of principles
    For keepin’ people free.

    The U.S.A. was just startin’ out.
    A whole brand-new country.
    And so our people spelled it out
    The things that we should be.

    And they put those principles down on paper and called it the Constitution, and it’s been helping us run our country ever since then. The first part of the Constitution is called the preamble and tells what those founding fathers set out to do.

    We the people,
    In order to form a more perfect union,
    Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
    Provide for the common defense,
    Promote the general welfare and
    Secure the blessings of liberty
    To ourselves and our posterity
    Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

    In 1787 I’m told
    Our founding fathers all sat down
    And wrote a list of principles
    That’s known the world around.

    The U.S.A. was just starting out
    A whole brand-new country.
    And so our people spelled it out
    They wanted a land of liberty.

    And the Preamble goes like this:

    We the people,
    In order to form a more perfect union,
    Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
    Provide for the common defense,
    Promote the general welfare and
    Secure the blessings of liberty
    To ourselves and our posterity
    Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

    For the United States of America…

    Note:
    The lyrics here have a slightly abridged wording of the Preamble to the United States Constitution. The actual document starts, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union…”

    Here is a one of my favorite televised programming via a downloaded copy from YouTube.com by ddrower: Oscar Meyer.

    Below are the lyrics to Oscar Meyer:

    My Bologna has a first name,
    It’s O-S-C-A-R.
    My bologna has a second name,
    It’s M-A-Y-E-R.
    Oh I love to eat it everyday,
    And if you ask me why say,
    Cause’ Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!!!!

  • 20090718-Wildly Free

    [Flynn’s Editorial: Below are two images showing two horses and two burros and why wild horses and burros deserve better treatment.]

    Lovely to see my wild horses and burros running freely.

    Two wild horses

    Happy to see my wild flowers growing everywhere, even in the deserts.

    Surely, hearts in love feel this way, it’s beauty when people care about the planet and its inhabitants.

    House votes to rescue wild horses

    By KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer Kevin Freking, Associated Press Writer – Fri Jul 17, 9:07 pm ET

    Snippet from external source: (visit the link for the full article)

    WASHINGTON – Galloping to the aid of the nation’s wild horses and burros, the House voted Friday to rescue them from the possibility of a government-sponsored slaughter and give them millions more acres to roam.

    But the effort may get penned up in the Senate.

    The bill passed the House, 239-185, […]

    An estimated 36,000 wild horses and burros live in 10 Western states.

  • 20070414-Feathered Cleaner

    Notice how the lime-green color and general roundish shape compare to the late big Budgie with a Miele brand vacuum cleaner, which I bought from John (an Italiano who is married to a Filipino residing in the Philippines with children) on April 14, 2007 because it reminds me of her.

    She was purchased from a pet store full of reptiles (now closed and replaced by West Coast Karate in Saratoga, CA) as a companion to Percy (or Persimmon), the parakeet. The pet store girl wore big leather gloves, meant for larger parrots as she crushed Budgie against the glass enclosure to get a grip. Later, we visited the same shop and saw possibly her sister among her siblings flying down and happily eating a fruit. I wanted to purchase all of them but knew I cannot afford or house them properly.

  • 20050224-Feathered Storm

    Notice the eerie similarities of the names of Percy the parakeet, who was found by a persimmon tree in our backyard and Cyclone Percy, which affected the areas of abominations: American Samoa, Tokelau and Cook Islands.

    One day during their bird bath, the top of the cage came open when Maw mistakenly grabbed the top, thinking it was a handle. Out came Percy and his second born chick, Pimon. Both flew away to our Persimmon tree, only Pimon came back without his dad. Both Maw and Paw attempted to retrieve him in the same small cage, which he climbed into himself and probably out of hunger years ago.

    This was the the same time the cyclone appeared, symbolizing our profound grief and loss of a beloved pet. Maw cried for days. I too cried too and perhaps that storm was manifested from my most deep seated sadness, if not anger, towards TPTB who reside in and around those islands, including Hawaii, by the way.

  • 20090716-Handheld Communicators

    Notice how similar the Star Trek Communicator is to my PCS Vision Picture Phone VGA1000 by Samsung. Both are lightweight, hand-held communication devices, except my cellphone is smaller in size plus it has internet access!

  • 20090715-The Millennium

    One of my favorite art is a masterpiece:

    The Garden of Earthly Delights (or The Millennium)[1] is a triptych painted by the early Netherlander master Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516), housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1939.

    It shows paradise on the left side, earthly debauchery in the center and of course hell on the right panel.

    At 2331PM and while I was editing the color to the header (or blog title) via Appearance > Customer Header, I stared at the uploaded background image of clouds.

    I saw the face of the sylph for the first time! I’m so slow, really.

    I’ve retained the nice image of a five-petaled, white-colored flower growing from between the neighbor’s fence and our cement gutter. Below is a cropped, thumbnail version of my photo showing a white flower growing from our backyard. The original photo is the size of 2592 x 1944 pixel.
