I really need to sort out how to blog using my phone. I don’t think that the bargain basement piece of technology I own can do that, but I need to sort something out. After all, what is this site without my anchor of running commentary?
Jeff clearly thought that a day without Pyrophage was a day to re-visit his former glory as a Cab Caloway impersonator. I know that Jeff claims that is actually footage of Caloway, but I’m here to dispell that little myth. Jeff had been working the circuit as a black-face performer for just over a year and Cab had stopped by to get some dance moves for his own act. Cab was so impressed with Jeff’s rendition of his hit “Refer Man” that he asked him if he would be willing to take his place on an upcoming TV broadcast (all those bright lights made Calloway nervous back then), and Jeff was quite flattered by the offer and the rest is history.
Jeff also felt the need to give an impromptu civics lesson yesterday. I often wonder if any of our nation’s leaders have ever bothered to have good look-see at the Constitution. Lately, it looks a little like the answer to that would be “no”. Otherwise, they wouldn’t pass laws that blatantly violate the Bill of Rights. The sad thing is that the check on that kind of idiocy is the Supreme Court, but they all seem to have missed that day in their High School Government class, too.
I have to correct Jeff on yet another point. That PC is only used on the weekends at my house. He just gets the hose. Especially when he refuses to put the lotion in the basket.
Tune in tomorrow when Jeff autogenerates some posts and I do my best to make fun of them.
