Talk to the Goat
I like tuna can better than hickory stick.
A happy goat, that's good.
wax the cat next time, trust me. it will be 70s pimp smooth.
So what was the name of that not a restaurant?
And pimps are not smooth.
They are greasy.
Funny you should post about this! I took a long 3 mile walk last thursday & noticed, on one street alone, that there are 4 barber shops, 3 beauty shops, one party planning store, several markets/liquor stores and our neighborhood fire station.
I enjoy walking around my city because that is when I notice shops I otherwise miss when driving!
pimp smooth was my CB "handle" in the 70's
I love walks - and walking in the rain. (everyone start humming a little Neil Sedaka now). And I'm so happy you have gotten to make use of the library!!
In my neighborhood, I can walk in any direction and reach either woods or other houses, nothing so interesting as your cafes and mice@ and Russian cats!!
Cocky restaurants rarely hang around very long. Most people can read through pretentious cuisine. Unless they're from NY or LA
ah, you must finally have that library card. that's good. in rain like that i'd use to just take off my shoes and continue walking.
I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds.
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And i'm ready for love.
Let the stromy clouds chase.
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singin'
Just singin' in the rain
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...
You're puddle-wonderful, young lady. And I love your capacity for joy, Jay.
brainwashing abounds in the organized religious industry!
Droog- I love that movie!
Thanks for taking us along on your walk! It was fun!!
I find it sort of fun to walk through the rain. But even better to dry off once you get home, and drink some warm tea or coffee, cuddle under a blanket... man, I wish it would rain now!
I love storms and I love walking in the rain. Unless of course it's being driven sideways a hundred miles an hour into my face.
Mice@Work cute name!
You actually allowed a little thing like electrocution stop you?
Well, 1970's Pimp Smooth is pretty damn smooth. But it ain't no 1970's Ho Smooth. Now THAT'S smooth!
Wow! That's quite the adventure. I live in the Queen W area ... very different from yours. I should do the tour for you sometime
You crazy, sloppy-wet adventurist, you.
Glad you didn't get fried (by the lightning -- not fuckin' "lightening" -- I hate when people do that).
I never knew any 1970's pimps so I don't know how smooth they are. Were.
I like the lack of coyness in "U Drunk," though. And you've got to love a store that sells power and also floor wash. One-stop shopping, kind of like body waxing and traffic tickets.
I can never measure niceness either...but I DO love walking in the rain (& I'm glad the cat was let in).
a cocky restaurant down here would serve parrots... that would be sucky.
God only electrocutes those who masturbate with the mess.
I love walking in the rain. There's something so liberating about it.
lol!
that sounds like quite a neighborhood, we have mostly boring stuff, but we do have cops on bikes (not motorcycles), in those very tight shorts with very nice legs, yummy
what a neighborhood! Thanks for the tour
You rule for walking in the rain. I always want to, but I hate getting wet unless I'm planning on it (like going swimming, etc.)
I'm dying at that "rasta"rant. Classic.
I call inanimate objects stupid, so why can't they be cocky, too?
I love your neighborhood. Love it. And how'd you finally get your library card???
I could use a little more power. Not too much, though, I definitely would become corrupt.
Open by appointment only? That makes me assume that the store is a "front" of sorts.
I enjoy walking in the rain, but when the lightning starts coming down I duck for cover (perhaps I am scared of being the tallest thing around, that is one of the hazards of being tall with short friends I suppose)
I think you should try the Rastaurant out, find out if it is better than a regular ol' restaurant, and what sets it apart!
Did you read any good books? I went to the library myself last night. I had to tutor and ended up going early enough to stock up on some reading material.
If you find out that St. Simons really does power, please buy me a pound of it.
I'm pretty sure you'll find the cat is Russian also. As any good russian will tell you, stuff made in the Americas is not so good as russian, so why have an inferior cat?
Pimp Smooth? Geeez, I should've thought of that as a website title!
I'm with everyone else. Can you pick me up some of that power next time you're out that way?
70s Pimp smooth,Get a 12 pack, turn on your Bee Gees music and work yourself up to a Saturday Night Fever!!
P.S. I'd like to see if I could get some power too!!
A 'by appt only' Russian store, eh? Now *that* is a niche market!
That one store doesn't happen to have a website, do they? I could use me some power!
We could use more rain as much as i hate when it does esp now that schools out for the year. Yikes summer vacation is here finally. Three whole months with both my brats. Any ideas out there for those that have kids??? LOL...
Hey, they finally let you check books out from the library?
So if a church is only asking for the hearts of little kids, are they trafficing in body parts? Is that really a moral thing to do?
Your neighborhood sounds so interesting! All we have are Wal-Marts and Burger Kings!
Maybe the floor wash is made with holy water?? No???? Just an idea
Let's see. If I start walking east from my house I would exit my subdivision and enter an area that would somewhat resemble the area found by the unlucky canoers in Deliverance(I can almost hear the banjos) and a noise akin to someone "squeelin like a pig", so think I will forgo a trek in that direction .. In fact at times we can hear the music playing. My favorites are the trailers with the tires on top and 6 salvage cars in the yard. We are soooo proud.
If I walk North I would probably get run over on the narrow road but within 3 miles could find myself at McDonalds. Hardly worth the walk. But in another month I would find myself at Starbucks, so I'll hold onto that route for a while.
Heading west would take me thru miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles and eventually into Memphis where I don't wish to go except when absolutely necessry.
Heading south for mile and miles would eventually bring me to some of the best catfish in this part of country.
However, since it is hot and humid here, think I'll just get into the car and drive.....
It's like you took me with you! I'm glad you brought the camera.
The first rule of Russian stuff is that if you're NOT serious about Russian stuff, then you don't deserve said Russian stuff.
Pimp smooth? *Snort* I'm pretty sure that's NOT one of the advertisements we allow.
So how much does power sell for these days?
I love walking in the rain...how cool!
A Russian store that's open by appointment only? I bet they reports thousands in sales every month too. I think these are the guys who wacked Tony Soprano.
"when lightning was sizzle in the air around me"
Great line.
U DRUNK? is that like youtube but with fewer rubbish home videos and more falling down?
Gotta love the interesting store signs. I was watching a Brian Regan stand-up special on Comedy Central the other night, and he mentioned that he saw a truck with two sentences on it. The first said, "English spoken." The second said, "We delivery."
So, you won the library battle huh? Good for you.
And I would love to check out that Russian store, though the appointment only thing scares me...imagine how expensive that stuff would be.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Cop on motorcycle......
*Droooooooooooool......
The sidebar always reveals what I have been reading. It also reveals what you have not been reading (ie, the sidebar, since obviously you have missed the book reviews, which have been up since april).
You sure see a lot of interesting things on your way to the library. 1970s pimp smooth? I don't know about that... Bud Light isn't all that great anyway...
A Caribbean restaurant named Strickly Ital? I'd mistaken that as an Italian restaurant too, especially with the Lion thing on the right hand side of the banner...
Next time, don't forget your umbrella.
Rain is good for the garden.
Rain is good for hair, they are shiny after being rinsed with shy water.
Maybe the cat is the lunch special
I am sure you get a kick out of the stores in my neighborhood. There are some interesting spelling mistakes on signs but I have not detected anything like the Pimp smooth sign, sadly.
Electrocution is not good. Glad you made it home ok. That pic with the cat on the doorstep is adorable. I love a good door cat.
I sure would like to by some power.
:O)
How does a store that is open by appointment only stay in business unless everything is extremely expensive or illegal.
When I lived in Indy, there was a store called Krieg Brothers Catholic Religious store. Neither me or my brother are Catholic or religious but i had to take a photo standing in front of it anyway.
When you have Catholic on the sign isn't the religious a little redundant?
I find it quite funny that the Russian store has decided to replace the traditional amperstand with the Soviet hammer and sickle. Very clever.
I don't even know if I could walk out my front door and around for very long. I'm a Californian and us Californians actually die if separated from our cars for over an hour. It's a fact.
Regarding the cocky restaurant...
Nothing like tooting your own horn!
Thanks for reminding me that I needed some holy floor wash!
Appointment only, huh? I wonder if they get any appointments. I leary of any store that doesn't have business hours. Something fishy is going on there.
Oh Jesus, I can't stop laughing. I always think of the same thing when I see churches who are recruiting youngins. Brain washing indeed.
Where the hell were you walking?
Also, I want to adopt the Russian Kitty. Think that is possible?
u drunk?
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
I agree about the "something fishy going on here". Because frankly, I doubt that place makes enough money "per appointment" to keep itself running. Russian mob front for laundering money, perhaps? Or is that just paranoia speaking...
please buy and post me some power
you said "slippy".. I thought that was only an east coast thing..
another good read
