Extra, Extra!

Profit of Doom!

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
We’re more than 20 years down the road since this 1993 A&J appeared, and a lot of people still are waiting to find out what they’re going to be doing. Now, I’m going to waste a large portion of your day. We’ve been talking about Web sites. Search “wayback machine archives” and type “arloandjanis.com” in the search field. Find your way back to dozens upon dozens of old A&J Web sites, including the old FrontPage sites, some of which were pretty awesome if I say so myself. So, let’s not worry today about the future.

    Yes, Jean dear, “interesting”, which I suppose is why I really like some of their stuff and really detest some of it. 🙂

    And yes, case in point…

    Good Caterday Morning Villagers….

    Oh my, so many links and so little time. Will tune in later today.

    Gonna work the tail ends off of the teens today, was not happy with them last Saturday. And since ‘Skittles’ (Dakota) likes wading in the pit, he’s going down there and retrieve the empty Budweiser beer can I saw down there…..and I know he’s got something to do with putting it there.

    GR 😉 when I first saw the video title Bing Crosby and David Bowie doing “Little Drummer Boy”, I thought it odd too….but I like it. But I like both individually. Saw Bowie in concert many years ago, after his Ziggy Stardust phase.

    Came home to raw nerves yesterday…..husband and BIL were about to tie up the little two year old Kyler…..and yes, he still had the same diaper on that he arrived in and was still in his pajamas. His mom is going to have to find someone else to ‘sit’. He needs to be put in a daycare center with other kids and experienced babysitters 🙂

    ya’ll have a dry day….it’s still raining here and has been for the last 24 hours.

    Both Jackie and Miss Charlotte have been quiet….

    today’s grin: http://cheezburger.com/8393943040 not my box, but sure does look like my big boy Buddee.

    Debbe 😉 Yep, who couldn’t love a Crosby/Bowie duo of a classic Christmas song? Today’s playlist entry will feature another odd song/singer combo.

    I see the TV ads for “stuff-people-would-only-buy-at-Christmas-time-and-would-have-to-be-desperate-at-that” are well underway. Grandparents, I have news flash for you…buying your grandkid a “Stuffie with Seven Secret Pockets” will probably not make you the child’s BFF, especially if the child is old enough to manipulate a game controller or operate a tablet. Sorry.

    The “Bacon Bowl Maker”, however, did somewhat call out to me.

    GR6, fill those seven pockets with a tablet, smart phone, headcans, and accessories; will earn you Grandparent of the Year.
