  1. Is it time for big hair pics yet?

    I may have had you beat in that category BRG. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours?

    Honestly, I’d have to find them, scan them and post them somehow. Maybe I won’t show you mine.

  2. chicken…we’ve come completely full circle now since being “First” got called out as being lame. There is nothing more lame than a personal blog. That said. my masseur, Manuel, has one (with pics).

  3. OK, back to your corners, THL and benson and take a deep breath. Meanwhile, Thursday night, I expect to hear the two of you in harmony on this (it’s a bit dated but always apropos in Brooklyn) (I know I’m gonna get in serious trouble for this):

    Oh, the white folks hate the black folks
    And the black folks hate the white folks
    To hate all but the right folks
    Is an old established rule

    But during National Brotherhood Week
    National Brotherhood Week
    Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark [that’s the dated part–ed.]
    Are dancing cheek to cheek
    It’s fun to eulogize
    The people you despise
    As long as you don’t let ’em in your school

    Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks
    And the rich folks hate the poor folks
    All of my folks hate all of your folks
    It’s American as apple pie

    But during National Brotherhood Week
    National Brotherhood Week
    New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans
    ‘Cause it’s very chic
    Step up and shake the hand
    Of someone you can’t stand
    You can tolerate him if you try

    Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics
    And the Catholics hate the Protestants
    And the Hindus hate the Moslems
    And everybody hates the Jews

    But during National Brotherhood Week
    National Brotherhood Week
    It’s National Everyone-Smile-At-
    One-Another-hood Week
    Be nice to people who
    Are inferior to you
    It’s only for a week, so have no fear
    Be grateful that it doesn’t last all year!

  4. You know what Benson. You’re just as bad a PropJoe.

    Anyone who knows me know I’m the furthest thing from racist you can get. I was in my mind stereotyping the 80’s. I was thinking back to my years of watching every woman who got one gray hair die their hair blue black or platnium blonde. Or every macho guy drive a Camaro, or every woman who HAD to have big long fake nails.

    You want to take certain things I’ve said and try to paint a a racist go ahead. My husband is the only one I need to answer to on this subject.

    I think we all though better of you, at least I did. Now I know better. Go choke on a Canolli, pig!

    I’m now so looking forward the big giant Italian anniversary dinner we’re going to be having tonight. Thanks for putting such a great taste in mouth.
