I am thinking that you don't want to be dropping by here looking for great social redeeming posts, although you may have already figured that out.

And what does social redeeming posting look like any way?

I mean, if you don't know, just maybe I could pull it off that I am actually posting social redeeming stuff here and you just wouldn't know it.

Nah, I'll just be upfront with you, no social redeeming posting will take place here.

There I feel better.

Now for the good stuff.

Seems they are discovering lately that with Obama giving speech's that the Wall street is responding by tanking. This doesn't seem to be a good thing. I'm thinking one of two things need to happen, although I have a feeling neither will take place. Hoping that someone will come up with a reasonable fix to this situation, just so Wall street stops plummeting.

Ok, not everything posted here will be humorous. I'd love it to be so, but these be some strange times right now. I think that is part of the Reason Why the Boys went on Hiatus.

I'm fairly certain that we will survive all this stuff on America. I'll be glad when we can get back to the good times.

Beamer: That it is best to avoid things that are sharp, hot and extremely heavy.

Bobby: What have you come across that is all 3 of those?

Beamer: Nothing, yet.

Beamer: Also avoid things that are old, driving crazy, and not paying attention.

Bobby: Are you trying to tell me something?

Beamer: Also try to avoid things that are sexy, smart, and talk softly.

Bobby: What is going on with you?

Beamer: I'm just saying.

Bobby: And what else?

Beamer: Avoid large people you owe money too and funny people that make you pee your pants.

Bobby: Are you just about through?

Beamer: Avoid Babies that have eaten a lot of stuff and someone has been tossing them in the air.

Bobby: And?

Beamer: That's it.

Bobby: Quite a list.

Beamer: Thanks.

Bobby: You didn't go trick or treating last night?

Beamer: I couldn't find my teeth.

Bobby: You had those things for years. They were gross.

Beamer: They were my Lucky Candy Teeth. I had them since I was 12.

Bobby: I don't even want to think about all the germs there were on them.

Beamer: I had them for 18 years.

Bobby: What, your 20?

Beamer: In my world, yes.

Bobby: You can always buy new ones.

Beamer: I'm just not going trick or treating any more.

Bobby: Did it ever cross your mind your too old for that?

Beamer: What - are you to old to go to Disneyland? Are you too old to go to Seaworld?

Bobby: It's not the same.

Beamer: Are you too old to play Baseball?

Bobby: What is your problem?

Beamer: I didn't get my annual Candy Fix.

Bobby: Is that it? Is that your problem?

Bobby walks into the next room and brings back left over Halloween candy.

Bobby: Here - will that make you happy?

Beamer: It's a nice start.

Bobby: I know, it's not your 35 pound haul as usual.

Beamer: What 35 pounds? I had 52 pounds of candy last year. It took me 4 days to eat all that.

Bobby: I'm getting sick just thinking about it.

Guys, I have been most fortunate to land an Interview With Kathy of Junk Drawer Fame. I think she is one amazing blogger and a very witty and crafty writer. I fell in love with her blog and her great sense of Humor. It got a little dicey here last minute about when to post it, but here it is, the first of two parts. Enjoy.


Beamer: Kathy, the Junk Drawer is a very popular Blog. How many years have you been working at this blog?

Kathy: First, thank you for inviting me. No one ever asked to interview me before. This is so Barbara Walters Special! I’ve been blogging since July 29, 2007. Sometimes it feels like an eternity because of the work involved in keeping it up, and sometimes I feel like I just started yesterday because I swear I still don’t know what I’m doing.

Beamer: Do You still do repairs on your Dad's Computer?

Kathy: Amazingly, no. My Dad is able to solve a lot of his own problems because he’s not afraid to poke around (carefully) and educate himself. The support session I gave him, documented in my very first post, came right after we got him the computer. But since then, he’s taken care of his issues mostly independently. I’m so proud of him. He’s the only 80-something guy in his apartment complex who owns a computer and I think that’s pretty awesome. Old geeks rule, too!


Beamer: Have you Given up on trying to get your Dad to update stuff anymore?

Kathy: I have given up trying to get his stand-alone Slingo game to work because he runs the Vista operating system, and the game he wants isn’t supported for Vista. But he makes do with the online version (although that doesn’t stop him from complaining about it). Oh, little tip. My Dad says if you don’t use email, you don’t get any spam! He’s serious.

Beamer: You seem to be pretty close to your sister. Are you older than her?

Bobby: Why would you ask her that?

Beamer: Because I'm conducting this interview that's why.

Bobby: But you didn't even tell me you were going to do this. Not fair.

Beamer: Did you ask me if you could ask Amy questions?

Bobby: Fine.

Kathy: Can I answer now?

Beamer: Don't mind him. He's jealous.

Kathy: Ok, about my Sister. Ann is two and a half years older than me, but we feel very twin-like since we were attached at the hip growing up. My eldest sister, Marlene, is 13 years older than me and so we didn’t share as many experiences together as young ones. We’ve actually gotten closer as we age, which I love. It’s like we started our sisterhood all over again!

Beamer: Do you and your sister get along pretty good?

Kathy: Yes, although she would tell you that our childhood living arrangements were challenging at times. We shared a bedroom. She was (and still is) an organized neat freak and I’m very much a slob. She hated how I’d toss clothes and other belongings all over the room. Fed up, one day she laid a piece of masking tape right down the middle of the floor. “Your crap stays on your side. Got it?” The tape remained until she moved away from home.

Bobby: Man, I should have done that with you.

Beamer: Would you shut up.

Kathy : But I thought you wanted to Interview me?

Beamer: No Kathy, not you. My Brother.

Kathy: Your Brother?

Beamer: Yeah, he's .. well, he was just right here.

Kathy: I didn't see any one else.

Beamer: Not to change the subject but How long have you been doing Technical Customer Service with Computers?

Kathy: Eight years. I started out in an accounting data control job I didn’t love, but it gave me a chance to learn more about computing systems and desktop support. I eventually became the person everyone went to for PC help and when a tech services job opened up, I applied and got it. It’s a very stressful job, but it’s never the same day twice. A boring job would surely kill me.

Ok, I am having to switch gears here big time. Kathy wants to announce on her Blog when I am going to post the Interview that I presently have on the Blog. I wish I would have read her comment before I had posted this. So I am going to pull the Interview and repost it on Tuesday. So if your reading the Interview and It disappears, you'll now why.

If you haven't read the Interview yet, you want to come back On Tuesday. I have Kathy, of Junk Drawer Fame, answering My questions. Also the first part of this won't make a lot of sense, but when has this blog made a lot of sense. Ok, maybe the Last Interview I did with Amy, but other than that, not often.

So you have a good day and come back her Tuesday for sure. You can come back tomorrow if you want as well. I'll let you.

Beamer

The Interview that was here isn't right now and will be reposted on Tuesday. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Side note number 1.) Perhaps I need to find a little bustier Amy character.

Side note number 2.) Dave Beckwith has been in touch with me here the last few weeks. There seems to be some communication problems that we are working on to get him contributing here. At this point, I am still at a standstill in this regard, but will hopefully be fixed quite soon.

Ok, I guess I owe it to you guys. I have kept you hanging probably way too long, But it hard to tell.

I didn't want to ruin the magic - Uhm, yeah right!

Ok, so I use to hang around a place on the Internet called the Yahoo message Boards. I spent way too much time there, but it was for a good reason at the time. Anyway, while I was there I ran into this guy Named Dave Beckwith, A seriously funny individual. While I was at the message boards, there was a topic opened up that was called the Humor Board, or something very original like that. This allowed for Dave to spawn Dave and Beck, some of the funniest stuff I had ever come across. It was all written by him, Dave Beckwith, But it was about these two brothers and the trouble they would get into. (Sound vaguely familiar.)

Now after a while, I tried my hand at writing and posting some stuff similar to that he was writing, only coming at it from my point of view. I put it out there and people thought it was funny, at least some of them did. So I kept at it. Now when it really got sweet, I thought, is when Dave and I joined forces and had four people, two sets of brothers, going at it.

This went on for actually a couple of years. The topics Dave would get into were really out there. He had a Bike that would travel in time, He was Mowing down Mailboxes for awhile, (You had to be there), there was a traveling circus show, and this stuff just went on and on and would get so crazy, and there I was damn near peeing my pants over this stuff. He was sooo funny. And I was so grateful for every nuance he posted.

But as Time does, it moves on, and we kind of went our separate ways, then Yahoo, really screwed things up, and we parted ways. I miss Dave something terrible and hope some day to get back in touch with him. But all this was mainly for 3 people. Me, Dave and this lovely Lady Named Windsong. But I am so thankful for you guys as well.

I know your out there, I can hear you breathing. That and Google kind spies on ya.

So there ya have it. The sorted truth of why these two brothers do what they do (Well, not really. Hell, I don't even know why they do what they do.) and now the cast of characters has kind of grown with the comic strip.

And yes, I do actually have a Brother. He is four years younger than me, and we don't speak. Which is his choosing. I guess he likes living this way.

Beamer: I think you ought to do it.

Bobby: Oh, don't worry. It's going to happen.

Beamer: I don't think he has an Internet connection.

Bobby: I don't really care. He doesn't know where I live.

Beamer: He might E-Mail You.

Bobby: Yeah, that has me scared.

Beamer: So, it's official then, Crispy is going to be in the Comic Strip.

Bobby: And he is going to looking way goofy.

Beamer: The dude has it coming doesn't he?

Bobby: Oh, Yeah.

Beamer: But you have to give him credit for giving you sumpin' to blog about.

Bobby: Yeah, ok, I'll give him that.

August 13th, 2008

Bobby: Well, I sure got a valuable lesson yesterday.

Beamer: Hide Amy's axe?

Bobby: That and be very careful who you ask to come up with a topic for this blog.

Beamer: Pretty important stuff, Huh?

Bobby: You bet. Man, you see the look in her eyes when she brought up Hairdos. It was scary.

Beamer: Not as scary as when she picked that axe back up.

Bobby: Well, it was the glee I saw in her eyes that scared me then.

Beamer: She does like her weaponry.

Bobby: She is also very versatile too. She has talked of putting her husbands gonads on a skewer before.

Beamer: Owww!

Bobby: Yep. My thoughts exactly. Then she has laughed about such an act. She is one to keep your eyes on.

Beamer: And you had to Interview her.

Bobby: I didn't know she had that Axe then.

July 30th, 2008

Beamer: You mean it.

Bobby: Yes, I forgive you. Mom still doesn't want to talk to me, but she'll get over it.

Beamer: Yes, she will. I still want to call you Beam_er though.

Bobby: You'll get use to it as well.

Beamer: So are you having to change your checks and all that?

Bobby: Uhm, dude?

Beamer: Yes?

Bobby: I'm not real, remember.

Beamer: Yeah, but you could have checks, right?

Bobby: Nope.

Beamer: You have to pay for your electricity and water right?

Bobby: Nope.

Beamer: So what is it you do?

Bobby: I show up here and look cute.

July 27th, 2008

Beam_er: You Know What?

Beamer: You getting tired of your name.

Beam_er: Your getting good at that. Yep, I'm gonna change it.

Beamer: Dude, Mom isn't going to like it.

Beam_er: How is she going to find out?

Beamer: Gee, I wonder.

Beam_er: You wouldn't tell. I'm going to become Bobby.

Beamer: Bobby?

Bobby: Yep. I like it.

Phone rings.

Beamer: Hello. Ok, just a minute, Mom.

Bobby gives Beamer a quizzical look as Beamer hands him the phone.

Bobby: Hello Mom. What? But ... But ... Look I'm old enough to ... Mom! ... I don't care ... I'm sorry Mom, But I'm keeping it. Ok ... I know... I love ... Oh shit.

Beamer: What's the matter?

Bobby: Like you don't know.

July 1, 2008




Beamer: I have always thought of my self as John Wayne.

Beam_er: I always sort of leaned towards Dick Butkus myself.

Beamer: He was a damn good football player. Da Bears!

Beam_er: He had a damn good year in 1970 with 132 tackles, 84 assists, 3 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries.

Beamer: Damn!

Beam_er: I loved watching him tackle. He'd hit em and then lift em up and get their feet off the ground and then just plant them in the ground. You knew you were tackled when he hit you. Can you imagine having to go through that ten or 15 times in a game? I bet you felt it the next day.

Beamer: He was your hero wasn't he?

Beam_er: Lets just say the neighbor hood kids didn't want me to tackle them. I learned his style quite well. Too Bad I never got to use it in high school. I would have been awesome.

Beam_er: Yeah, well, I didn't forget. Just almost.

Beamer: So, you have a topic yet?

Beam_er: Why of course I do. It's a great one. It is titillating and succulent and almost mouthwatering.

Beamer: You haven't got a thing do you?

Beam_er: Nope. Hang on ...

Beamer: So you got anything yet?

Beam_er: Yep Jello. Every body loves Jello.

Beamer: You just like it cause it's jiggly.

Beam_er: And "There's Always Room for JELL-O"

Beamer: You keep this up, I'm gonna have to go fix me some.

Beam_er: Been awhile since you had some huh?

Beamer: Especially with whip cream.

Beam_er: I like drinking it when I'm not feeling good. Like when it's still warm and gooshy.

Beamer: That's it. I'm fixing some.

June 25th, 2008

Beamer: Sorry I wasn't paying attention.

Beam_er: How can you ... never mind.

Beamer: I was watching the fan go around.

Beam_er: But that was an hour long program.

Beamer: Actually 57 minutes. I was watching the clock as well.

Beam_er: You were watching the fan and clock while I was learning all about Samurai Swords?

Beamer: Sorry, but I am not a big fan of PBS.

Beam_er: But Public Broadcasting television can have some very important programs on it.

Beamer: As well as Boring.

Beam_er: I'd love to get me one of those swords. They are awesome.

June 23rd, 2008

Beam_er: I like this movie for a whole new reason now.

Beamer: Why is that?

Beam_er: Are we going to go through this again?

Beamer: But If I don't ask you, uhm, they, our league of readers, won't know the other half of the conversation.

Beam_er: OOOhhhh! When did we get to be so savvy about our readers?

Beamer: You know I'm a compassionate kind of guy.

Beam_er: Ok fine ... about this Movie.

Beamer: Ratatoulie?

Beam_er: Yep, he's got an alter ego, a figment of his imagination that he talks to.

Beamer: I like figments. Especially in Fig Newtons.

Beam_er: Yeah, uhm, right.

June 20th, 2008

Beam_er: You and those stupid E-Cards.

Beamer: What are you complaining about?

Beam_er: You spend all day dropping those things. When Do I get a chance to check out stuff?

Beamer: Wow. Ok, back off from the Printer Ink.

Beam_er: I would like to check out the Nascar Sites every now and then.

Beamer: Ok, so go get your own computer.

Beam_er: This is my computer.

Beamer: Well it's my computer too.

Beam_er: Good Point.

Beamer: Yes it is.

Beam_er: You know, this is one of the craziest communications we have had to date.

Beamer: Well, we have to push some boundaries, don't we?

Beam_er: And if some Psychiatrist shows up?

Beamer: They are going to have a field day.

Beam_er: And they can just comment like every one else has.

Beamer: That's telling em.
