<br />
I'm starting to create stuff again, I'm still recovering from Mom's passing, but I'll try to<br />
keep up with making new Weird stuff for the Blog. K? K. So here we go, these are the origins of the names of the Days of the Week used in English. Three are from the Romans and older people's, and four are from Norse mythology with an Angle twist.<br />
<br />
Sunday is from the Latin for Sun's Day<br />
Monday is from the Latin for Moon's Day<br />
Tuesday is an evolution of Tyr's Day, Tyr was a Norse God, Fearsome one handed Warrior.<br />
Wednesday is from Woden's Day (Odin) Norse God, One Eyed King of the Gods<br />
Thursday is from Thor's Day, Norse God of Thunder and War has hammer Mjolnir.<br />
Friday is from Freya's Day, Norse Goddess of Art and Beauty.<br />
Saturday is from Saturn's Day, Roman God, Father of the Gods and Goddesses, God of Agriculture and the Harvest.<br />
<br />
English also gets the names of the Planets mostly from Latin/Romans, and the names of<br />
the Months have quite a few Roman references.<br />
So now you know why we spell Wed-nes-day in that funny way, it's a corruption/change<br />
from Woden/Odin, Wodeneses Day, Wodneses Day, Wodnes' Day, Wednesday.<br />
Every language as it gets older "contracts", shrinks words and runs them together.VROUKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11634445537272062026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862887833580026614.post-36764233881528723492012-03-31T03:44:00.001-05:002012-06-21T16:49:45.578-05:00In Memory of my Mom<div style="text-align: center;">

Cassette Catastrophe & VomitHere is a True Story that happened to me:<br />
<br />
Once Upon a Time, Many Years Ago on a Winter Evening in Kansas City Missouri:<br />
I was driving center lane, in evening rush hour traffic jam, on Interstate 435 highway Northbound on the long straight hill approaching the I-70 cloverleaf. It was sleeting and snowing but traffic was zooming at 45mph.<br />
<br />
Back then my poor old Ford Escort already stank inside from age, so I started smoking cigars on the hour commute. I had stopped for a burger and shake before getting on the highway home, and inhaled them. I had a full fast food coke in the center cup holder, and an almost empty pretzel bag on passenger seat, with about a cup of loose salt at the bottom. On the passenger floor was my tall - rubber fur lined - snow boots which I took off to better work the pedals on the drive home. Also on the passenger floor was my open cassette case with 75 music cassettes, bare in their slots. In the back seat was an aerosol spray can of ETHER I'd used that morning to spray in my carburetor to get the car started. OK, I had to set the stage so you'd understand what happened very quickly.<br />
<br />
OK! - I had lit a new large Joya de Nicaragua cigar and had puffed it up hard so it had a cherry red big glowing coal on the tip. I could hold it in my mouth and puff and blow the smoke up and to the side and not need hands until the ash needed tipping. I was puffin, digesting my meal, cruising home, blasting some tunes super loud. (I'd mounted Jensen Triaxial 6x9's inside some home speaker mini cabinets and had them wedged in hatchback area, with a 50 watt amp which was large at the time.)<br />
<br />
Suddenly cars in front slammed brakes! A sea of red taillights up ahead! I tried to the keep car steady but i was going to have to brake hard in a few seconds. I reached the "vee" of my two fingers of my right hand up to remove the cigar and put it in the ashtray quickly, and instead closed my fingers right on the cherry red flaming hot coal tip.<br />
<br />
YARGH!!! I Screamed and flung the cigar forward, hard, by reflex. Most of the flaming coal broke off against the dashboard gauge cluster and ricocheted right into my polyester slack's crotch! The rest of the cigar, still burning, laid against the speedometer plastic window, melting it. I started shrieking as the coal burned through my pants, trying to control the car and not wreck. The coal burned thru just below my zipper bottom, burned thru my underwear and burned my thighs and naughty parts, then sat in the butt hole area of my pants burning a hole in them and the seat. My fingers were also screaming in pain.<br />
<br />
I tried to stand while driving, literally scooting my butt up the back of the driver seat until the steering wheel stopped me, and had to "stand" on the pedals. I could not sustain that stance and kept sliding back down, sitting on the live coal and jumping back upward, shouting.<br />
<br />
Time was up! This had all happened in two seconds, and now I had to brake Hard to avoid smashing into the slow down ahead. Three things happened the moment I hit the brakes hard. The Large cup of Coca Cola dumped forward into the case full of music cassettes, and was quickly followed by all the salt from pretzel bag. All of the business end of the tapes was now floating in salt and coca cola.<br />
<br />
The third thing? Oh not much. Just the can of Ether Spray for starting engines shot forward, hit the back of my seat, knocked off it's lid, and bounced/rolled under my driver seat - wedging the can with the spray nozzle in full spray mode. The Escort quickly filled with ether mist, coating all the windows with an oily slime. Now, I cannot see.<br />
<br />
I had to stop shrieking, because I figured if I breathed in the Ether Fog, I was dead. I steered with my burned hand, trying to keep my a-hole off the fire in the seat, and used my other hand to roll down the window and stick my head out, and somehow I managed to swerve through the cars on the fast left lane and come to a stop in a slush bank.<br />
<br />
I figured anything was better than breathing any more of the Ether so I flung open the door and jumped out in my stocking feet into the slush and stood there coughing. I managed to fish the spray can out, and somewhat air out the car. I could hardly see my eyes were stinging so. I used napkins and slush to smear enough of the oily coating off the inside of the windshield to see to finish driving home. Then I got back in the running car, with frozen wet feet. The coal had burned all the way thru the seat and I put some slush in the hole and put my coat on it and sat on that, altho I could hardly sit from the burns.<br />
<br />
As soon as the adrenaline rush died down as I sat back in the car and shut the door, the fumes hit me with instant nausea and I immediately projectile vomited the entire chocolate milk shake in one big arc which evenly divided itself between my two fur lined snow boots.<br />
<br />
That night I discovered the damage to the tapes. I tried to save them, but they were a total loss. So I know you are having a bad day and I am sorry what happened to you, but I thought if I shared this true story you might feel better.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">RECEIVING SOFTWARE PROGRAMS:</div><div style="text-align: center;">To successfully listen to "streams" "live" over the internet, you must have a range of "listening" programs installed and always "up to date". Some Common Players: RealPlayer (the free version is OK), Windows Media Player, Quicktime (plain), WinAmp.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If the "station" won't play on one, try another.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">STILL WON'T PLAY: there will be stations that won't "play". A problem at the broadcasters "server", a problem matching "signal" with receiving program or version, or a channel you successfully get quits working. Either the sender turned on "security" to limit signal to "members", or they changed "versions" or signal type, or their "server" is simply broken, or they are "off the air", or your receiving program has changed in some way, or the internet pipe between is different at the moment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">IF YOU CAN'T GET A STATION - RELAX!</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is why you should be flexible and just choose something else.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If it's super important, reinstall and update your receiving programs, test them with other broadcasters, and finally contact the broadcaster. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">TIMING: In some cases like local Japanese stations, you'll discover they</div><div style="text-align: center;">only broadcast four hours a day, and are closed when you are awake. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">CHURCHES and similar organizations: Even though they all claim to be "live" on the web, they are run mostly by volunteers without a clue what they are doing. Good Luck! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I've found that 80 percent have nothing working, 10 percent have recorded old programs even though they label them "live", five percent always seem to offer some kind of signal they say is live, but it never works right, and the final five percent play live and on time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
This hilarious and superbly polished musical act is one of the <br />
best Drag performances I've ever witnessed. They don't <br />
conceal their male features, but revel in them for laughs, but <br />
they never break character and every nuanced move is right on <br />
the money in these full blown music video productions.<br />
<br />
They seem to be dying down now, but I've become a big fan, <br />
listening to their hits over and over. It's not hard to see why <br />
they are much requested in the Karaoke parlors of Japan.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, mother Margaret, along with daughters Naomi and <br />
Strawberry Yazima are supposedly working at their Yazima <br />
Beauty Salon in Las Vegas, where they are "discovered" and <br />
brought to Japan by DJ Ozma (who is also Naomi in drag). <br />
<br />
They then take the country by storm with their fabulous musical <br />
performances. They made a movie to cash in on their <br />
popularity. Even if they fade out, their handful of wonderful <br />
music videos will always have a place as classics. Well worth <br />
your time to watch them all, they grow on you. If you want to <br />
learn more about them, there are plenty of things on the <br />
internet about them.<br />
<br />
I've done all the hard work for you and put links to all their top music videos, the movie trailer and one publicity show shared with another group. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/1sjy3coYyUg?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">HAMAGURI BOMBER</div><div style="text-align: center;">translated as Common Orient Clam Bomber</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bq4wIVAYwoA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">SAKURA - Haru o Utawa Nevada</div><div style="text-align: center;">translated as Cherry Blossom - A Nevada Spring Song</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/rkl00XXWl0E?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">IDOL Mitai ni Utawasete</div><div style="text-align: center;">translated as Let Me Sing Like An Idol</div><div style="text-align: center;"> featuring Princess Seiko (Seiko Matsuda )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jzks17snpY4?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">MEGAMI no Chikara</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Power of Megami (Goddess) Disco Style</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/tQuc7hcKyUQ?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">THE MOVIE TRAILER - Yazima Beauty Salon</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/PhXYz7na740?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">THSK on TBS Meets Yajima Beauty Salon (English Subbed)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is a song from GG third album Hoot, a mini-Spy movie plot. I'm showing it to you to illustrate the tremendously high production values in K-POP music videos, the sets, the costume changes, the detail, the choreography, right down to coordinated facial expressions and complimentary gestures. As much care is put into the overall composition as in Flower Arranging. If Samurai were still around today, making KPOP and JPOP videos would probably be one of their "arts".<br />
<br />
I found this song irresistable, the rhythm and melody and chorus get stuck in your head. Trouble, Trouble, Trouble, shoo shoo shoo! :) VROUK APPROVED. The great James Bond type mini plot makes it GROOVY.<br />

Thank You Amii, if I were ever to lip synch on stage, I would want to duplicate your hair hat and dress and makeup and this routine exactly! With the wild rainbow video feedback behind you projected behind me on stage, I'd bring down the house! GROOVY DISCO.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Paraphrases from the home page:<br />
Named the Number One New Burlesque Act on Earth by AOL.<br />
Glamour Gospel Queens bringing the sass of old Burlesque back.<br />
"Everything they do is dipped in Glamour" from shimmying and shaking<br />
in fringe to twirling golden lassos dressed in rhinestone cowgirl costumes.<br />
They have over 40 on stage routines.</span><br />
<br />
I first saw the World Famous Pontani Sisters Go Go Dancing on Stage with the Neanderthals on the Ghoul a Go Go show. I was mesmerized by their superb Go Go dancing skills and became an instant fan. I started looking for them on the net and found them EVERYWHERE! How had I missed them all these years? I don't know, but I'm glad I found them, and you will be too. Look them up, you'll fall in love with their artistry.<br />

For 28 years there has been a student exchange, but the 29 was cancelled due to the Earthquake/Tsunami. If you go to their site, click English in upper right corner, then choose English again, and you will get "pigeon" on the fly translation of their web pages. They come every year to <span class="text_exposed_show">maintain a Japanese Garden they built on the back corner of the Indep. City Hall, very pretty. We apparently don't go there and do anything, except send some students. They have a totally wrong info page about Indep. buried deep in their site. I wish I could visit there and tell them all about our area and history. They have a Chinese sister city and they do tremendous things with them all the time. I sent a nice letter of friendship to Mayor Watanabe, but he did not answer me.</span></span></span></h6>VROUKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11634445537272062026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862887833580026614.post-19921644294985015772011-12-29T18:01:00.002-06:002012-02-14T00:20:31.314-06:00Discorporate Actors Gone Not Forgotten<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Icf3IcnpMvU/Tv0Ab9ec-pI/AAAAAAAAAX0/nTnbL5avCpU/s1600/000drama-masks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Icf3IcnpMvU/Tv0Ab9ec-pI/AAAAAAAAAX0/nTnbL5avCpU/s200/000drama-masks.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Ever since the original series was on the air, fans (mostly female at first) have written what is called "fanfic" or fan authored fictional stories about Kirk and Spock being lovers. For many years in the seventies all you had to do was whisper "KS" and Trekkers might giggle or roll their eyes. Don't get me wrong, they were tolerant for the most part, but it still seemed like a taboo subject matter. Like the female generated fanzine that included a nude foldout watercolor of Spock in the seventies. Unusual. Nowadays this kind of stuff seems quaint and belonging to the Victorian era or something. Of course K/S has spawned any number of fanfic subjects that play "what if" with all sorts of combinations on all sorts of shows, but the K/S'ers blazed the way! Pants Off To 'Em!<br />

My Mother and her parents used to eat these foods during the Great Depression and afterward. They were common foods in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. You don't much see anyone eating them in the big cities unless they are real Country Folk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandpa especially liked to sit and chew and gnaw on chicken neck bones, pig's knuckles, chicken feet. Her mom liked clabber milk and squeaky cheese. Whenever they would butcher a hog, which was a very big deal, the whole neighborhood would come and help, and helpers got a part of the results. One old bachelor from Germany who was dirt poor would come and work hard and in reward he would take the pig's blood, and go home and make blood sausage. Nothing from the pig was wasted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back then, you didn't waste food just because it might have been dropped on the ground, or had a little mold on it, etc. or worm holes. When they briefly went to California looking for work and lived in a garage, my grandmother would take my young mom and they'd go in the alleys behind restaurants in Los Angeles and search the trash cans. They'd find bread or cheese with a little mold on it, they just cut off the mold and it was fine. If the vegetables were wilted or had spots, or were just tops and peels etc. they'd make soup out of it. Nothing was wasted. If you found an apple, cut the worm out of it. Today's kids would yell EEEEWW and throw it away disgusted. My mom would cringe at that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom had to live by herself and run the house for a year during the depression when she was 14. She had to tend the garden everyday after school to be sure she had food to eat. She had to can food, trade with neighbors, be super careful spending the few dollars her Dad might send home from the road. No one gave her anything, they couldn't afford to. I don't think most the people alive today have any idea what it's really like during a bad Depression. They keep talking like we're in one or close to one. Hah. Well, first thing they better do is start allowing chicken keeping in the suburbs, maybe if you have an acre allow a cow and pig too. And people will learn real quick how to eat scraps and poor people food and things they'd rather die than eat now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The foods in the picture album above are just some of the things off the top of my head, I'm sure I missed alot. I'll try to add to it over time. You can look up any of those things on the net and how to cook them, buy them, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you didn't click on the Photo Album, here is a partial list of the foods: Cow Brains, Cow Tongue, Blood Sausage, Pork Cracklins, Pig's Feet, Pig's Knuckles, Chicken Feet, Pig's Ear, Cow's Intestines (Tripe), Chicken Gizzards, Chicken Livers, Ox Tails, Squeaky Cheese, Clabber Milk</div>
