Marilyn Monroe's Scintillating Smiles In That Little Red Dress!...

I just love this time of year, just like any other time of the year, because...I'm globally able to see, smell, touch, and live the whole thing!...and your "I'm thankful for all of the blessings I have received, and will try and make this world a better place!" smile IS IN A GOOD MOOD BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO SEE THE SMILING FACES ON YOUNG KIDS GOING TO SUMMER AND WINTER CAMP, WHERE THEY CAN LEARN, HAVE FUN, AND ENJOY MORE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND ESPECIALLY OTHERS

AND, OF CORSE THE 6 YEAR OLD HSR IS VOLUNTARILY THERE, WITH ALL OF HIS BIG MUSCLES

AND HIS "CONQUER THE WORLD ATTITUDE!"...

SO HSR LOVES WAKING UP EVERY MORNING AT THE WILDERNESS CAMP, SMELLING THE FRAGRANT TREE AND MOUNTAIN AIR, AND THE EXTRA OXYGEN SUPPLIED BY THE MANY PLANTS...

OH, AND THE MYRIAD GREAT ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE THE TIME PASS BY OH SO VERY FAST, LIKE ARCHERY

TAUGHT BY SOME CUTE INSTRUCTORS...

AND ALMOST-DANGEROUS CANYON CROSSING, SUSPENDED ONLY BY CABLES

THAT HSR HOPES STILL WORK WHEN HIS TURN COMES UP!...

BUT THE MOST FAVORITE PART OF CAMP FOR HSR, BESIDES THE SUPREMELY-ADVENTUROUS FEELINGS THAT HE GETS WHEN TIPTOEING IN, AND SEEING NEW THINGS THROUGHOUT THE UNKOWN WOODS...

IS GETTING CLOSE TO, AND GENTLY PETTING, THE CAMP'S FAMOUS TRAINED WILD (OXYMORON?) EAGLE NAMED HICKORY...

AND TALKING WITH HIS TRAINER, CIJI  LIPPIPS!...

SHE KNOWS SO MUCH!...

"ONE DAY, I'M GONNA  HAVE AN EAGLE JUST LIKE HICKORY," THE YOUNG HSR PROGNOSTICATES!...

BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, HSR JUST WANTS TO EXPLORE THE WOODS AGAIN, BECAUSE HE NEVER KNOWS WHAT HE MIGHT DISCOVER, AND...

SOMETIMES, ALL OF THIS EXPLORING MAKES HIM A LITTLE SCARED, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BRAVE AND EXCITED...

SO, HE SEES A NEW PLACE TO GO INTO...

AND AFTER A WHILE OF WALKING, HE LOOKS AT HIS COMPASS,

SO HE KNOWS WHICH WAY TO HEAD TO GET BACK TO THE CAMP...

AND LATER, HE COMES ACROSS A SUPER MASSIVE TREE...

WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT'S GUARDING SOMETHING!...

SO, HSR LOOKS THE GRAND BOTANICAL SPECIMEN UP AND DOWN, AND WALKS AROUND IT...

AND SEES A SECRET SPACE!

YOU KNOW, THAT HSR, WITH HIS INQUISITIVE SELF, HAS TO TAKE A PEEK IN THAT MYSTERIOUS SPACE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY...TREASURE!...

AND HOLY SMOKE!...

THERE'S A SPECIAL-LOOKING SMALL CHEST BOX!...

DO YOU THINK THAT HSR'S GOING TO OPEN IT?...

WELL, YOU GUESSED RIGHT!...

AND HE FINDS A STRANGE-LOOKING SEED INSIDE!...

SO, BEING THE "PROVE IT TO ME" KIND OF GUY THAT HE IS...

HSR WALKS TO A CLEARING, DIGS A SHALLOW HOLE WITH HIS HAND...

AND POURS SOME WATER FROM HIS BELT CANTEEN ONTO THE PLACED SEED...

OMG!...

RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES, THE SEED QUICKLY GERMINATES TO LIFE!...

AND WITHIN MERE SECONDS, THE NEW PLANT IS AS TALL AS HSR HIMSELF!...

SO HSR GOES OVER TO TOUCH THE YOUNG TREE, AND HE HOLDS THE TOP TO FEEL AROUND AND...

OH NO!...THE TREE SPURTS UP, TAKING HSR HIGHER AND HIGHER!...DANG!...HOLD ON TIGHT, HSR!

NOW HSR'S WAY UP AT THE TOP...AND ELEVATING EVEN MORE...YOU CAN BARELY SEE HIM!

SHUCKS!...THE TREE HAS HSR GROWING UP AS TALL AND EVEN TALLER THAN THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS!..

YIKES! I'M SO FAR UP NOW THAT...

I'M LOOKING DOWN ON SKYSCRAPERS!...

AND THE TREE IS STILL POPPING AND HUMMING AND MAKING LOUD GROWING NOISES!...

AND NOW THE TREE, WITH HSR STILL AT THE TIP, IS WAY WAY ABOVE A SECOND LAYER OF CLOUDS, 

AND THE HEAVEN-REACHING TREE IS STARTING TO TEETER AND CURL OVER UNDER ITS OWN IMMENSE WEIGHT, AND HSR IS REALLY STARTING TO GET FRIGHTENED, AND CALLS OUT, "HELP ME...SOMEBODY...PLEASE!

"OH LORD, IF I MAKE IT OUT OF HERE, I'LL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN!" HSR SWEARS!...

BUT, WAIT!...

HSR LOOKS TO THE SIDE AND...OMG!...LOOK AT THIS!...

IT'S THE PLAYFUL HICKORY, EVEN FLYING UPSIDE DOWN FOR FUN...TO THE RESCUE!...

AND HE GRABS THE GRATEFUL AND TEARY-EYED HSR, AND LIFTS HIM UP WITH A GOOD GRIP OF HIS TALONS!...

AND HICKORY GLIDES HSR SAFELY BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!...TAKING ITS TIME AND GOING THE SCENIC ROUTE, OF COURSE!...

...FINALLY!...HE'S BACK!...AND TALK ABOUT ONE HAPPY CAMPER!...

'I LOVE YOU, HICKORY....YOU'RE THE BEST EAGLE, EVER!" SCREAMS HSR!...

"THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE!...

"BUT, CAN WE DO IT ALL AGAIN TOMORROW, HICKORY...

"OH PLEASE...OH PLEASE...OH PLEASE!"

HICKORY JUST TURNS HIS HEAD A COUPLE OF TIMES...

AND WHAT DOES THE "COOLEST EAGLE IN THE AIR" DO NEXT?...

...LIKE ANY GREAT BIRD OF THE SKY...

HICKORY TAKES OFF INTO THE GREAT AND WILD BLUE YONDER!...

...JUST ONE MORE TIME!

"I still need to wait for some fruits to get ripe in my backyard!"



















When Marilyn Monroe (Norm Jean Mortensen) first burst onto the scene, the guys, especially our mighty men in uniform, went stark-raving crazy, and the women became...

...stark-raving jealous!

She changed the way women wanted to wear their hair...brunettes became blondes, redheads became blondes, and blondes stayed...blonde, because...

..."blondes have more fun!"

Her beauty, mystery, and delicacy allowed her to have any powerful man that she wanted...

...and she did...they willingly and desperately ate right out of her hand!

Daring, and trailblazing, with a set of teeth that seemed to number more that just 32, her blindingly-white smile made many women "up their game," and they demanded that their Dentists make their smiles just like hers...

Yes! Because of Marilyn, Dental Offices where booked solid for months into the future for cosmetic procedures...and their profits soared! Women didn't want their men to have to look at Marilyn to see some perfect teeth...their men could just look at them now!...(Not!)

One reason that her movie star status "went viral" even before the Internet was born, was that she had an easy, girl-next-door kind of accessibility, and charm, but only a few knew that she...

was fiercely loyal, and fought for what was right!


If Marilyn were to look into the eyes of most men this way...

...they might start stuttering...and writing bad checks!



Everyone, from farmers to bankers, from Dentists to secret agents, and from college students to professors, and all in between...



...they thought that they could relate to her public perfection and personality, and maybe even have a chance with her if they were to meet her, but only a few people in her inner circle knew the real and private and enigmatic Marilyn.


An ultimate show girl, she knew how to pull on our heart strings...



 in a master puppeteer...

...kind of way! And we would obey and just jumpity jumpity jump!



At the time, when decency laws were way more puritanical than they are now, she turned heads, dropped jaws, and otherwise caught a lot of flack for this...

...welcoming and opening display of "the lower 48 states!" Now, this pose is all too common in fashion spreads (oops!, the pun!)



Miss Monroe...your original, ahead-of-your-time, complex, and sometimes misunderstood, shining star...

...fortunately...isn't fading...not even one little bit!

May you have many...good times are only good because you think that they are good!...what are some of the things that you want to do over and over again, ad infinitum?...is the mind strong enough to make us believe that we really did do something when we really didn't?...smiles!

Turkey Farmers "Ain't Smilin'" After Thousands Of Turkeys Escape!

I see you with that big smile, just anticipatingly and lip-lickingly tucking your napkin in the front of your shirt, and I hear and see you rubbing your knife and fork together to “warm them up for extensive use,“ while you get ready to dive in and dig deep into that juicy

 and “fresh out the oven” Thanksgiving meal, and your “we are imaginatively and intellectually wired to conquer space travel—so bring it on!” smile, can’t wait to get to the “Sweet Potato Cake” part, because while you’re eating that, with some Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, you’re going to gaze at the Big 3D Holographic Space in the family room, and pick up where you left off of the preface last seen on the post, “Doomed Turkey Does This...To The Dentures...Of The Farmer Trying To Catch Him For Thanksgiving Dinner!..." AND THERE, WE FIND THE 11 YEAR OLD HSR GETTING OFF OF A BIG YELLOW SCHOOL BUS...

 AND IS ABOUT TO WALK 6 MILES THROUGH THE THICK WOODS AND DEEP SNOW

TO GET HOME, AND HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THIS TREK BECAUSE HE’S FAMILIAR WITH ALMOST EVERY TREE IN THIS BIG FOREST, BUT ALONG HIS WAY, HE HEARS SOME SOUNDS, SO IMMEDIATELY AND INSTINCTIVELY, HE CROUCHES DOWN NEXT TO A TREE FOR COVER, AND HE SPOTS SOME WOLVES THAT ARE HOT ON THE TRAIL OF SOME PREY

THAT THEY HAVE JUST SEEN, AND HSR LOOKS TO WHERE THEY ARE GOING, AND THEY ARE HEADED STRAIGHT TO A MOTHER REINDEER AND HER CALF,

WHICH PROBABLY MAKES THE WOLVES “THANKSGIVINGLY HAPPY,” BUT THE MOTHER REINDEER FIGHTS OFF THE WOLVES SOME, AND THEN LURES THEM AWAY FROM HER BABY,

SO THE BABY DEER RUNS THE OTHER WAY, AND, SEEING ALL OF THIS, HSR CHASES AFTER THE SMALL DEER, AND AFTER A WHILE OF RUNNING, HE CATCHES UP TO THE TIRED DOE, AND LOOKS AT IT AND SAYS TO IT, “HEY, LITTLE BUDDY,

...LET’S GET OUT OF THIS DANGEROUS AREA! COME ON, LET’S GO!,” AND THE LITTLE DEER HESITATES AT FIRST, THEN LOOKS BACK IN HIS MOTHER’S DIRECTION, AND IT HEARS SOME FAINT FIGHTING AND GROWLING NOISES, THEN DECIDES TO STEP CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW HSR, SO THEY WALK A WHILE AND PASS BY A STREAM,

AND LOOK AT A MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN,

BECAUSE AFTER ALL, THIS IS PAYNTER ISLAND, CANADA

WHERE THE AIR IS “BOTTLED FRESH,”

SO HSR AND THE BABY REINDEER KEEP WALKING ALONG TOWARD HSR’S PLACE, BUT AFTER A WHILE, HE HEARS SOME NOISES BEHIND HIM, SO HE GRABS THE DOE AND HIDES BEHIND A SET OF ROCKS

AND WAITS…AND WAITS…AND GUESS WHAT IT’S MOMMA DEAR!...SHE’S BACK!... WHOA!... SHE MUST HAVE PUT A WHUPPIN’ ON THOSE WOLVES!...

SHE LOOKS A LITTLE BANGED UP, BUT SHE WALKS TO THE SMALL DOE, THEN LICKS IT 

AND THEN THEY WALK ALONG THEIR WAY…

AND HSR THINKS, “OH, ISN’T THAT TOO CUTE!”...

SO HSR STARTS HEADING HIS WAY BACK HOME, BUT AFTER WHILE, HE HEARS SOME MORE SUSPICIOUS SOUNDS BEHIND HIM…AND IT’S ANOTHER WOLF!...

AND THIS ONE LOOKS REALLY MEAN…

…AND REALLY HUNGRY!...

...SO, HSR QUICKLY CHECKS AROUND FOR THE BEST TREE TO CLIMB RIGHT NOW…YES, THERE’S ONE!... SO HE SCAMPERS UP QUICK, FAST, AND IN A HURRY…AND JUST IN TIME…BECAUSE THE BIG BAD WOLF IS JUST RUDELY AND VORACIOUSLY NIPPING AT HIS HEELS…

SO…

HSR CONTINUES CLIMBING UP TO A STRONG BRANCH AND SITS ON IT TO WAIT IT OUT… THEN, HE REMEMBERS THAT HE HAS SOME FRESH RAW MEAT...

AND HIS SLING SHOT

IN HIS BACK PACK (ALONG WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF)…SO HE GETS OUT SEVERAL BIG CHUNKS AND SHOOTS THEM A LONG WAY AWAY…

...AND THE WOLF HEARS IT HIT THE SNOW,...

SO IT LEAVES HSR AND RUNS A LONG DISTANCE TO GET TO THE RAW MEAT…AND HSR SHOOTS ANOTHER BIG CHUNK IN ABOUT THE SAME PLACE, AND TWO OTHER WOLVES HEAR AND SMELL IT...

AND IN A LITTLE WHILE, THE WOLVES START TO FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES FOR MORE CHUNKS THAT HSR KEEPS SHOOTING OUT…

SO WITH THE WOLVES TEARING EACH OTHER APART OVER THE REMAINING FOOD, HSR CLIMBS DOWN THE TREE IN A HURRY AND HEADS HOME, BUT IT’S STARTING TO GET DARK SO HE HEADS TO AN EMPTY CABIN,

WHICH IS A REFESHING SIGHT RIGHT NOW…SO HE WALKS ON IN, AND NOBODY’S THERE…SO HE LOCKS THE DOOR AND SETS UP A SMALL FIRE IN THE FIREPLACE AND BREAKS OPEN A CAN OF CHILI BEANS AND SPAM, AND WARMS IT UP AND IS ABOUT TO HEARTILY DIG IN…

BUT SOMETHING KNOCKS AND SCRATCHES ON THE DOOR…

AND THE DISTURBED HSR THINKS, “WT…”…

SO NOW HE GETS UP AND WALKS CAUTIOUSLY OVER TO THE DOOR AND TRIES TO SEE THROUGH THE CRACKS AND SPACES IN THE OLD AND WORN WOODEN DOOR, BUT HE CAN’T SEE A THING…

...AND HE HEARS SOME MORE SCRATCHES… SO HE UNLOCKS IT AND SLOWLY OPENS THE SQUEAKY DOOR, WHICH PROUDLY SINGS IN HIGH NOTES…AND…

..."WHOA! WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE!"...

“We’re making machines and computers with AI power, but will those contraptions “get along” among themselves better than humans do?“

I saw my Cousin Roscoe through the window last year at about this same time!

And I had nightmares for a long time!...Those humans thought it was cute and everything to devour Roscoe...just laughing and drinking out loud for what seemed like forever!

But this year...thing's gonna change!

I, Theodore Thomas The Turkey, am hatching a plan...

Meeting with the other turkeys, I propose, "Hey guys...here's the plan...

"It's simple, and it'll save all of our lives!...Can I get an Amen?," Theodore Thomas sermonizes,

And the other turkeys gobble out loud, "Amen!"

Theodore continues, "I've had it up to here, and I just can't take it anymore!...

"I'm telling you guys...they're making fun of us...just rubbing it in!

"On TV comedy shows...

..."and on cooking shows!

"I see all of this through the window when the humans aren't looking!..."

So, now, for my first move, I'm acting normally, and now, I act like I have a veterinary problem...

I have the overseer's attention now...they're coming over to check me out!

Now, I attack the turkey manager!...with a vengeance!

...and chase him away down the road!

Good!

Now, Bobbie and Vinnie, go tell the others to flee...

...and run for their lives!...all of them!

That's it!...move along, quickly!

Barnabee just has to get a good lick in before he leaves...

 ...on the kid that keeps teasing him and pulling his feathers!

Yes! We're saving whole families!...Great!

That's right...let's go back to where we belong!

In the bushes...in the wild!...Whew!

Uh oh, guys...I think we made a wrong  turn!...

Crap! I smell turkey burgers!

Let's get out of here...now!...

May you have many…when you daydream while driving (DWD) what’s the farthest place away that you’d rather be?…is breathing severely polluted air better than not breathing at all?...is sleep the body’s way of putting its foot down and declaring, “No more Input/Output, guys!
