Last week Wednesday
Hey MW,
Last week Wednesday I sent out a comic panel to you. Forgot which one I sent but I know that what I said was that I had a nice time...a very nice time considering I didn't get enough sleep not because I was nervous but the insomnia gremlin was hassling me that night(in fact he/she came around again three nights ago) and that I hope you enjoyed your day at the spa. All I can say it was relaxing, fun, naughty and I had a good time. Like I said I hope you did too.
What's with today's comic panels. Well I like Off The Mark - it sorta is my sense of humor.
The first reminds me when The Budweiser Van Nuys brewery had tours.
Of course you remember that. Back then it was free before they started charging admission. One of my favorite past times at that brewery was when my brother and I went their with our cousin, we had soda, there was a bird walking around...sorta like an imu
like what you see in this picture on the left. Anyway Mike there was a handsome caretaker for the birds or whatever they're called watching over the birds nearby where we were drinking sodas. It was summer there was a lots of little butterflies flying around the plants so what this bird caretaker did was catch the butterflies between his thumb and finger and feed it to the bird. Well that was cool and do you want to know what happened next? Well humans can be like sheep so guess what my brother and I did(at this time he was 11 and I was 9) as well as the other park guests? Finished guessing? We ended up doing what the bird caretaker was doing(by the way that bird caretaker was a hottie at 9-years-old I was looking at the men!!!) and that was catching butterflies and feeding them to the birds. My cousins was younger...not even older than 7-years-old...well their sister was older than my brother she was 12 or 13 and not a very happy pre-teen. Anyway I couldn't believe at that age I just went for it because back then I was not a very go-for-it type of boy...quite nelly actually. Oh Mike I was so excited just jumping up and down minuse flapping my hands in the air like a little girl catching butterflies and feeding to the bird. I was even catching them for my cousins giving the butterflies to them so they can feed it to the bird. Other people were watching us doing what we were doing and then they got in the act and when that happend other birds came by. One would think that the bird caretaker would have said something to not feed the birds or signs posted telling the guests not to feed the birds, but then at that time there was no such thing as guests/customers filing lawsuits against a company like they do nowdays which is so common. Picture it Mike, it's 1969 we must've been by the area where Budweiser was giving away complimentary beer and here are the guests just going bonkers feeding birds like how city folks go to man made lakes in this city feeding ducks with bread crumbs(that's a whole nother story...people feeding ducks and koi fish bread crumbs - how stupid is that?). Well I'm on a different track right now Mike...see these pictures of the people feeding ducks - look what they're feeding them!

We had fun and it was one of the highlights of that summer week with them...didn't particularly care for these cousins from Hawai'i(these are relatives on my Mom side of the family) and they were all girls. My brother and I actually more me than my brother prefer our other cousins from up San Francisco.
Here's a reminder of 1969 Mike:
Now enough about the past. What's with this comic panel:
I still get zits even at my age. I can't believe it. Friggin irritates me. In four days I'm having another birthday and I'm still being bugged about breaking out. What's up with that? Sometimes when I'm up late at night and I'm actually watching an infomercial by www.guthy-renker.com I almost want to buy one of their products like these two different items.
Think they'll make me look beautiful or is it too late?
Last here are some pictures that will really keep your attention. Who are they? Beats me MW. They don't even look like the guy that was in charge of the birds at the Budweiser plant, nevertheless they're nice to look at right? Enjoy this essay along with the pictures and if you have any questions about what you just read please don't be shy to ask and don't forget to leave a tip. A tip????
See you later!
