Life on Mars is a pretty cool show.

I have been enjoying Life on Mars which is this TV show about a cop in 2008 who is hit by a car and is somehow thrown back to 1973. He is a cop in the seventies and has to adapt to working in the style of the time which means you just kick the shit out of suspects or frame them if you know they did it.

What I really like about this show is the music and the styles which was what I wore back in the 1970's. The shirts with the big collar over the jacket. The leather jacket with the bell bottoms and the porno guy mustache. I think I still have that stuff over my moms house.

It's just about twenty sizes too small.

I bet you have a hippie girl dress don't you. Maybe a leather jacket with fringes like Cher wore when she sang gypies tramps and thieves.

Or maybe a collection of off the shoulder sweatshits and leotards with legwarmers. You maniac.

I don't have the porno guy mustache. Just a goatee which is really grey.

My mom says it makes me look like the devil.

I tell her, I just wish I had his money.

Yeah it was pretty funny. We were watching a show and my wife's mom called. She wanted me to stop the DVR so I put the game on. It was when Veritek beat out the play to third. That was the whole game right there. The Devil Rays choked a little. They are young so they are entitled to be a little woobley. But I think they will put an end to the Sox tonight. They really miss Manny. They go down tonight.

Reader, reader you can't fool me baby. You can't tell me it's rocky road when we know it's vanilla.

Did you know that whipped cream has hardly any sugar? My wife is watching her sugar so I like to whip up some fresh whip cream with strawberrie for her for desert. It's very healthy and with a very low sugar content for a real great dessert.

Try and catch SNL and let me know what you think of the stuff Adele is wearing. It might be an Anna Sholz from the store. Of course now that I have been promoting it all day it is gonna be some rag from her closet. Life if funny that way.

Yeah, when I was doing the low-carb thing years ago (which worked well for me then), I used whipping cream a lot.

(The whipping thing was just tweaking you, because if ever I put up a post or two with which you could have done something, it was today.)

Oh and the detective in the show drives a GTO with an eight track tape. I remember driving to Florida in that same car and the only eight tracks we had were Jethro Tulls Aqualung and the Who's Live at Leeds. We must have listened to those two records for 48 hours straight.

With snot running down our nose and greasy fingers smearing greasy clothes.

Sounds like fun. I am glad that you and the hubby are having fun. Being married is the best thing I ever did. I really love my wife.

But she is getting a little tired of the Love is a Many Splendored thing.

My motto: It's not worth doing if you don't over do it.

Hey we can break the record for most comments on my blog.

Unless Lem finds it. Then all bets are off.

We are pretty happy because a girl came in and bought a $2.000 red leather trench by Anna Scholz which is one of the two that I had in the store. I breathed a sigh of relief after that one let me tell you. We gave her a nice discount on a lot of other stuff she bought so she was very happy.

No Simon is the sycophant at Althouse, I am the idiot.

I just try to make it easy breezy because it often gets overwrought there. And there are a lot of cool people who post on both sides of the ledger. The best is when there are the nonsense post where everyone can have a bit of fun. There are some clever people posting there.

And of course, Bissage. He's wonderful.

Actually (hey, I just used one of those annoying words!), I think I may have had a worse job: Trying to get my kid to sort through his way-too-many toys and clean his room so I'm not too embarrassed when the satellite guys come in a few days.

But then, I did a worse [that is, less sucessful] job, too, and made less progress, too. Ergghhhh.

reader_iam said...

Um, what's your comments record again?

Trooper York said...

I am totally not handy at all. My wife does all the hammering and stuff like that. I just call someone to fix stuff. I would rather pay someone to do it right. My uncle used to think he could fix anything and he never did it right. He would jury rig something and it would always look half-ass.
I rather pay the money and get it done right.

Eighteen so we already broke it.

Whoo hoo!

Thanks for playing.

Of course now you have to go back to playing "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader."
