Robert Drasnin

I like to play albums like this when I have people over. They expect some Led Zep or something like that and I put on this and don't say anything.

The Lost Paintings Of Ralph Rumpelton



While digging in the caves of Scotland in 1941,Drew McMooly made the discovery of the century, the Lost Paintings of Ralph Rumpelton. With his trusty 8mm camera Drew started filming.
What baffled critics is how can somebody from 1902 make paintings from album covers that came out in the future. It's been said that Ralph Rumpelton was ahead of his time.

Hit Her With A Tile

I just came back from Home Depot. This family in the parking lot was walking in front of me arguing. They must have had a good fight in their car on the way to Home Depot. The guy had a tile in his hand and was walking in back of his wife. He raised his hand and I thought he was going to let her have it right in the back of the head. I thought he was going to do it cause his face was all red and steam was coming out of his ears. I'm glad he didn't hit her from the back. I think if they were face to face she would give him a beating.

Bob Dylan's "Down In The Groove"

I was giving "Down In The Groove" a listen. This got really bad reviews, and I
agree it's not Dylan's best. I have no problem with the songs, it's just tough
to listen to with the 80's production.
Here's what I was thinking. Dylan should give the master tapes of "Down In The
Groove" and "Empire Burlesque" to Daniel Lanois and have him reproduce it, give
it the Lanois touch. They would be a lot easier on the ears then.
He shouldn't even bother with "Knocked out Loaded." Besides "Brownsville Girl"
there's not much worth saving.

The Cashier

I went to Sears Hardware store to day to buy some hardware for my dining room table. After five minutes I found a sales person. I had to get certain bolts and screws. My dining room table is one of these put together furniture. After awhile the hardware breaks and the chairs become shaky. I bought this hardware before there so I know they had it. I was explaining to him what I needed. He had no idea what I was talking about. I even drew him a picture. He was still lost. So I kept looking in the store and found the hardware.
Now comes the funny part. I bring it up to the cashier and she says to me, "How much are these?" I told her, "I think they're sixty five cents apiece." "She said, "That's close enough."
It's not entirely her fault for not knowing the price. There was no barcode on them. I could have said any price, she wouldn't care. She just wanted me out of the store so she could keep on talking to her friends.

X-Ray Glasses


Remember these? They used to be in the ads in the back of the comic books. I bought a pair when I was a kid. Couldn't wait for it to come in the mail. When I put them on, I thought I could see through everything. They really didn't work, I was making excuses for them to work.
When I got tied of those, I sent away for the "1,000 soldiers set." You got a 1,000 pieces but they were no bigger then a half inch. Play with them once and you lose half of them.

Throw down your silver spoons,

The Ed Show

I've been watching The Ed Show. I like to get all different points of views on whats going on. I noticed something about the show that's not too good. The other night he spent at least fifteen minutes talking about Bill O'Reilly. It's the old saying, "if you got nothing good to say about yourself, talk about the other people."
Ed goes on saying O'Reilly lied, and how FOX is biased, and he keeps on ranting about it.. Then he goes on to talk about the news and is talking about those "righties" and "crazy tea party" people.
Everybody know that Fox is to the right and MSNBC is to the left. If your gonna talk about how biased FOX is you got to call it down the middle then or you sink to their level.

Fiji Mariners


My latest and not so greatest computer painting.
I picked this up in Manhattan, down in The Village. Found it in the cutout bins.
Excellent version of "Turn On Your Love Light" on it.

False Drawer Under The Kitchen Sink

I was looking at the false drawer I have under my kitchen and ask, "what's the point of it?" Everybody knows it a fake and it don't even have a handle on it.
So, I went to Google to get a picture for this post, I came across a picture and it took me to Facebook. They have a group with thousands of people in it for "False drawer under kitchen." These people on Facebook will join anything. I seen some strange ones on there with "False drawer under kitchen" group being right up there.

Tiger Woods

I came home from work the other morning, stopped in the deli to get my coffee and roll and saw the back of the newspaper. "Tiger Woods Storming Back." He's two strokes back and tied for seventh.
Nothing on the back page said anything about the guy who was leading the tournament, or the other six guys. Everything was about Tiger Woods.
The back of the paper should have had the leader on it and in little words, "Tiger two back." That would have made more sense. But no, it's all about Tiger Woods.
I remember a couple of years ago, somebody won a tournament on TV, so what do they do, they interview Tiger Woods. When they finally got around to the guy who won, he was pissed and said something like, "go back and interview Tiger," then he walked away.
Personally, I'm sick of hearing and seeing him every two seconds on TV. When there's a tournament on, it's all about him, and every once in awhile, they'll show the other players.

Tap Water

People are amazed at work that I drink tap water. Every time they see me filling up my bottles they make comments about drinking tap water. If they want to pay one dollar for a bottle of water let them.
Tap water has tougher regulations then bottle water. Back in the 60's and 70's everybody drank tap water, nobody got sick from it. Now bottle water has the fancy ad's to make people think it's better for them.
Sometimes I buy soda then when it's empty I fill it with tap water. No matter how many times I refill the orange soda water bottle, I can still taste the orange soda.
Ever see the commercial for "Zero Water." If I put that jug in my frig, it would take up the whole shelf.
