Sorry, We’re the Plumbers…


The Frantics with MY kind of tissue commercial.
This goes well with yesterday’s offering of toilet dad.
When all is said and done there’s the paper work.
I’m on a roll…

A bit of an overlap on the Father’s Day meme.
My father grew up candle pin bowling as did
my brother and I.
As time went by I ended up being on a ten pin
league for a while, but that’s not nearly as much
fun as the style that started it all.
From what I understand it was candle pin, duck
pin, then ten pin for the creation timeline of bowling.
As it got easier it became more popular.
David puts a nice spin on the topic.
Yes, pun intended…

This is a refrain that was shouted out at my house
when I was a wee lad.
They say behind every stereotype is a kernel of truth,
and that is certainly the case with dads and their
telltale odors, especially of the bathroom variety.
When my father grabbed a newspaper and a cup
of black coffee (no lie) we would head for the hills.
Technically the house would be safe to inhabit once again
after a day or so, but my mother would open all the
windows and call it “safe” after a couple of hours.
I don’t think my maternal unit had a normal working
olfactory system, maybe at one time, before I was born.
This is for Dads everywhere, especially the ones
reading the sports and saying “fairwell” to yesterday’s
spaghetti and meatballs…

This classic piece of British comedy is from the late,
greats Peter Cook (the tall one) and Dudley Moore
(the short one), both of Beyond the Fringe, a four
man comedy troupe that redefined humor for
generations to come.
Inspirations for Monty Python and many others,
they had their own television series, starred together
in movies, toured like crazy with their two man show
and partake in talk shows like no other.
A little known part of their careers had them hit the
clubs as Derek and Clive a really profane comedy duo
that really served the adult portion of their fan base.
These two guys are forever enshrined in the comedy
hall of fame, their works will live on.
This is a great piece, when it was performed it was
way ahead of its time, still works quite well today…

Juston McKinney with a pretty funny, snark filled set on his dad.
Warts and all.
Some great lines here…
