Cold Enough?? (and other things)
Been on the road, tryin’ to get back home. Yep, it’s gettin’ cold everywhere. ‘Course, we know what to do in the event of frozen frontdoors, right? Uh-huh … snuggle! Welllll, that and maybe some electric heat would be good …
Actually, the best things to do as it gets c-o-l-d-e-r is to make sure you’ve got insulation around the windows, the heating system’s in good order, and that you’re well stocked in the fridge and with supplies. Y’see, the more ya go out that door, the more you’re defeatin’ the heating system.
Oh … one more thing: Be sure to keep your attitude in control, okay? Don’t let your temper flare up — it’ll wear down your physical defenses, and you’ll feel a lot more vulnerable to the chill.
Now … on to other things:
It’s a bit ironic that, just as Dunkin’ Donuts is making a media push for its famous coffee (and, friends, ya gotta buy a bag or two! It’s delicious!), the shop up there on N. Graham was robbed. Just glad no one got hurt. If you’re ever “held up,” the logical rule-of-thumb is to give the robber what they want, and then they’ll most likely run like &#@! to get outta there. Human life is always more important than money!
But one of the craziest … no, make that two … robberies I’ve ever heard of took place up there where I’m doing my gigs for Ohio Championship Wrestling — the town of Ashland, Kentucky. Now, the folks in that little bitty city are as fine as can be … but it’s like us: it has its share of odd! You’ve probably heard about their “Duct-Tape Bandit,” where a guy held up a liquor store (for a few rolls of quarters), and a “disguise” made by wrapping his head in duct tape!
Well, here’s another, freshly-made on Tuesday: A dude went into a local ice-cream store there, and held them up … with … a … common … stapler! Right. Stapler. No word on the caliber of stapler he used, or whether it was loaded. But … a true story, nonetheless.
That’s reason #204 why it’s good to be back home … if I want insanity, I’ll have it in my own back yard, thank you!
