Totty Week: SOME LONG HAIRED GUY

Mone’s totty request is as follows: “What about some long haired guy?”

Mone left no specific instructions, simply “What about some long haired guy?”

So left to my own devices, I’m posting a photo of WILLIE NELSON, the “Red Headed Stranger.” True, he’s not conventional totty material but Willie is music to my ears.





Willie Nelson, born April 30, 1933 in Abbott, Texas. Country music legend and author of a new book entitled The Tao of Willie.

Video clip of The Highwaymen (Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, the late Waylon Jennings and the late Johnny Cash) performing Highwayman live.

And Mone? If you wish to delve further into the realm of the long-haired male, visit the Gallery of Long-Haired Men.

Be thankful you don’t live in North Korea where they’ve waged war on long hair and men are encouraged to get a haircut every 15 days.

Totty Week: CATHERINE KEENER

Today’s tantalizing totty was requested by Wyndham because, and I quote, Wyndham is “really keen-on-er.”

Catherine Keener is an Oscar-nominated American actress born March 26, 1960 in Miami, Florida.

Amongst other roles, Keener played femme fatale Maxine in Being John Malkovich; a single mom wooed by the inexperienced Andy in The 40-Year-Old Virgin; writer Harper Lee in Capote, and screenwriter Christine in Friends With Money.




My attempt at pleasing both Wyndham and Prunella as Prunella requested pics of Jake Gyllenhaal. Here they are together in Lovely and Amazing. Jake and Catherine, not Wyndham and Prunella.












Feet exposed!



Is Ms. Keener waving at you, Wyndham?




Why yes! I do believe she’s inviting you over!

Mount St. Helens Volcano Cam

Photo credit: USGS

Mount St. Helens in Washington State shot a steam and ash plume at least 16,000 feet into the air Monday after a large rockfall from the lava dome in the volcano's crater.

The crater was formed by the volcano's deadly May 18, 1980 eruption that killed 57 people and blasted about 1,300 feet off the then-9,677-foot peak.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there was no explosion and events such as this one are expected during lava dome growth.

Those who like to keep their eyes open for activity can monitor the Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam.

Heist of the Week

Yarn Thieves




A 68-year-old woman and her accomplice stole $13,000 worth of wool this week from a yarn shop in Atlanta.

“She looked like your typical grandmother,” said shop owner Debi Light.




Hell's Grannies


This heist puts me in mind of Monty Python’s “Hell’s Grannies” sketch. Gangs of old ladies are terrorizing the city. These layabouts in lace knock over telephone kiosks and shove people off the pavement.

A young couple are interviewed about their gran who has become addicted to crochet and gets violent if she doesn’t get her 20-balls-of-wool-a-day. Seconds later we see the The Hell’s Grannies ride into a shop on their motorbikes. We can only suppose they’re robbing the store to pay for their next crochet fix.

Happy Birthday, Helen

Today is the birthday of our Helen, otherwise known as Midget Arse.

In a celebratory mood, she started into the vodka about 24 hours before her big day. Then she went out on the town where this account by Tazzy and Piggy would lead us to believe she was out on the town with them.

However, a reliable source reports she was out with her date Big John.

It is reported she fell face first into her cake and, as you read this, she is still sleeping it off, as pictured below.

Loincloths: The New Japanese Fashion Trend

The Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo's Ginza district reports a boom in the sale of loincloths.

Known in Japan as fundoshi, these traditional garments went out of fashion decades ago but they’re making a huge comeback.

"They're unconstrained and have got good ventilation, and they're suited for Japan's humid summers," a department store official said.

Many businessmen are buying fundoshi as “power underwear” to wear when they want good results at work.




If you’re short on cash, here’s how to make your own loincloth.

Dinah Washington – Long John Blues

Dinah Washington is one of my favourite vocalists and I’ve been meaning to post about her sooner. Well there’s no time like the present as Prunella must visit the dentist today. So this song is for you, Prunella.

In Long John Blues Dinah sings about visiting “Long John,” the dentist with the golden touch. She sums it up best when she sings,You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much.





If you visit Amazon and scroll down to #4: Long John Blues, you can listen to a sample.

Long John Blues

I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Yes, I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Long John they call him, and he answers every call

Well, I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
Yes, I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin'

He said, "When I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine"
He said, "Yes, when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine"
Cause ev'ry woman just can't stand the pain"

He took out his trusted drill and he told me to open wide
He said he wouldn't hurt me but he'd fill my hole inside
Long John, Long John, you've got that golden touch

You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much

When he got through, he said "Baby, that will cost you ten"
Yes when he got through, he said "Baby, that will cost you ten
Six months from now, come back and see me again"

Say you're supposed to see your dentist 'bout twice a year, that's right
But I think I feel it throbbin', yes, I'll go back there tonight
Long John, Long John, don't ever move away
Say, I hope I keep on achin' so I can see you every day





Infomaniac recommends reading Queen : The Life and Music of Dinah Washington by Nadine Cohodas and listening to Dinah Washington with the lights low and a martini.

Heists of the Week

Roller Coaster Stolen



Thieves in Bischofsheim, Germany, stole a 20-tonne roller coaster from a car park, where it was in a truck that was taking it to a nearby amusement park.

Officer Martin Gruber said, "We've no idea what the thieves could possibly want with it, and are appealing to the public for help. The last thing we want is for amateurs to try putting it together."

Thieves stole a California homeowner’s entire front yard including grass, bushes and sprinklers.

A suspect was arrested and the landscaping was returned to the victim.

Don’t Mention the War

Goose-stepping ist verboten


English football fans planning to attend the World Cup in Germany have been warned that provocative behavior like making Nazi salutes or goose-stepping in public will be punished.

In "The Germans” episode of Fawlty Towers, Basil Fawlty (played by John Cleese) instructs his hotel staff to be on their best behaviour for their German guests. Yet Basil loses his composure and screams, “Don’t mention the War!” as he goose-steps around the room.

In an effort to encourage a World Cup free from xenophobia and bigotry, John Cleese, going by the moniker The First Eleven, has recorded a football song called “Don’t Mention the War.”

The ditty contains such catchy lines as They might have bombed our chip shop 60 years ago, But a billion pints of lager later, here we go.

More on Cleese's World Cup peace bid from the Times.

It’s spring, the days are sunnier and longer and there is a holiday soon.

Last year, this same expert deemed June 24th as the happiest day by working out the following equation:

O = outdoors and outdoor activity
N = nature
S = social interaction
Cpm = childhood summers and positive memories
T = temperature

Irish Strip Poker Battle in the Buff

Ireland may play host to the world's biggest strip poker tournament.

If Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has its way, the contest will take place at a secret venue in Dublin this summer as they try to earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

A survey uncovered that more than 50 per cent of online poker players enjoy playing in the nude. So Paddy Power decided it was the perfect way to take Ireland’s mind off not being at the 2006 World Cup.

A spokesman said, “We’re going to bring this record home to where it belongs, Ireland. We may have missed out on the World Cup finals this year but we’re going to go down in history this summer as the finest naked poker players on the planet!”

Dentists Beg Brits Not to Floss with Screwdrivers

Arthur Lemming, Special Investigator, British Dental Association


Brits use whatever’s at hand to pick their teeth according to a survey conducted by the British Dental Health Foundation.

More than 60 percent use items such as screwdrivers, scissors, earrings, knives, keys, needles, paper clips, matchsticks, nail files, pencils and forks to remove food from between their teeth.





With the start of National Smile Month just around the corner (Sunday, May 14th) Brits are advised not to floss with screwdrivers or other dangerous items.
