When I was a very young lad, I told my friends I could train bees. I would catch them in a jar, cover it and let it sit in the sun. If I remember correctly, it was about 15-20 minutes. The bees would get exhausted from the eat or lack of oxygen. Not sure which. I would uncover the jar and let them crawl on to a flower. It would take some time before they had the strength to fly away. So, I would walk around and show my friends my trained bees. After a couple of times, I figured out about how long it would take to get their strength back, so I would instruct them to fly away. timing wasn't always good, but effective.

Some natural questions…….Did you move on to cats? Are you currently incarcerated?

I used to “play” with bees as a kid. Then I learned the difference between a honey bee and a yellow jacket. An important life lesson learned early. 

 

EDIT: There was a DR appt involved here. I swelled up like Will Smith in Hitch.

Wrestlemania 39 is this weekend.  

Where would pro wrestling be if Wrestlemania 1 flopped?

Nothing beyond the bees. That's where the short lived sadistic-side of my childhood ended. And no bees perished under my very questionable training techniques.

Right back where it started, territories across the US, no real dominant company.  Vince sunk a lot of money into the first one.  If it failed, he and WWF was going bankrupt.

I just saw something on that!  They were saying something about how it might be more of a donut shape, so it just goes around & around (so, we could travel all of those billions of miles and end up where we started).  Or something like that.  A good 80% of it flew comfortably above my head.

A couple years back, Guffalo contacted me and offered use of his season tickets 'just because'.  He was unable to use them, and thought I might like to.  Scheduling on my part didn't allow it, but it was a very nice gesture.

And just yesterday Virgil tagged me for possible participation in the 2023 TSW member draft.  All my useful knowledge about Bills football could be written on a 3 X 5 file card, but again, a kind gesture on his part to invite me.

You encounter some very special and kind people here at TBD and the forums.

I love it when you break out the chainsaw for the first time since fall and it fires right up with no hesitation whatsoever.

Magical.......

have you ever wondered why the Who called one of their most famous songs  "Baba O'Riley" when it is never once mentioned in the song itself? So I googled who is Baba O'Riley and subsequently learned this: Which I did not know. Now you do too.

 

Quote

“Baby O’Riley”

The actual title of the song is a result of two major inspirations of Townshend: Meher Baba (an Iranian spiritual master) and Terry Riley (an American composer).

Musings of a Freelance Writer

 

As a self-employed writer, I find that I spend much of my time getting caught up on work that was left undone by my procrastinating predecessor, Past Tom. His laziness forces me to bust ass in order to meet the high standards of my boss, Future Tom (who, just between you and me, can be kind of a prick at times).

 

In short, the problem with being self-employed is that my employee is lazy and my boss is a jerk.
