“Are you interested in joining? The benefits are terrific. The trick is not to get killed. That’s really the key to the benefits program.”

Duckula even though Duckula was never shown in the USA.

(I have had to deal with an actual vampire, they are not pleasant beings. They are selfish and manipulative. They love to feast on the energy that you let them drain from you but they can only take your energy if you permit them to take it. Once you see through them, you realize what sad and hapless creatures they are.)


Duck Season or Wabbit Season?

Beethoven.

Stadler or Waldorf?

(Stadler and Waldorf were the two old guys from The Muppet Show that sat in the box and heckled the performers.)

Retro (Art Deco)

Listening to music in an automobile while somebody sings with the music or no music at all?

Desktop Mac.

Brewery tour or Distillary tour?

Scotch.

Felix or Oscar?

Its beginning has no end yet it ends all things living.

Cereal (My absolute favorite cereal is Fortified Oat Flakes but I haven’t been able to find it for years.)

Mother’s side of the family or Father’s side of the family?

A couple of years ago I noticed that I was having some troubles walking. It wasn't anything really serious, just that my legs felt a little weak, stiff and I had no stamina. I started having some back problems, nothing really bad, just every now and then the base of my back would feel stiff. Then this late spring when I was seeing my doctor for my yearly check-up I told him how I was...

The rider was wearing a heavy leather jacket, chaps, gloves, heavy boots and a full helmet that had a black, silver and white design on it. Now most...

In April of 2004 I bought a 2004 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 XL. At the time I was 38 years old and suffering from a thyroid deficiency.

The interesting...
