Happy Birthday Gary

The bell bottomed pants went on for miles because the shoes did too. 

 I saw him fitting shoes on feet, although I should say he saw me at a local shoe store in town,  Fenstermakers Shoe Store.  I had purpose the day I was roaming the streets, it was to get my mind off "things".  As fate would have it, my mind had added a few more "things"  to it's already full list. 

Unknown to me  Mr. 'fro was one of them.

He was the poster boy for the 70's in a tidy sort of way.  At first glance he had a fro that went on for days.  White boys usually didn't sport fros, but I wasn't an expert so what did I know for nothing. 

The one thing I learned throughout those years was he was a package of unpredictable creative, explosive energy that didn't let the world stop him.   Today is his birthday , a mere "28" respectively, and I see the same unbridled energy pushing past invisible walls. 

 I could list the accomplishments from charities to hair events and more he's had his hand in, but my interpretation wouldn't do this post justice or the actual event.  

So I'll just  salute the day you were born and say a hearty

Happy Birthday

(now you are older than me)  LOL

Happy Birthday Cory

Thirty three years ago around 1:00 pm after a grueling day and a half of labor pains I gave birth to an 8lb. 9 oz. bouncing baby boy.  We named him Cory B. Lambert, and he grew into an inquisitive, clever, interesting, ornery, smart, still learning young man.   At present he is a hard working sous chef paying his dues in a very nice restaurant near the Capital.  The info doesn't stop there, he is also married to a beautiful and intelligent woman, named Rita,  who is busy in varying degrees to help him with his climb up the literal food chain.  You know the old saying behind every sucessful man is an even more successful woman....

Some of his antics still leave us shaking our heads and I must admit, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  If you really want to know...it has created a whole vat of apple sauce...to be sure....

Anyway...I'd love to be able to post a few of his stories but this isn't what it is all about...it is more about wishing my first born a pleasant, safe, Happy Birthday...oh and I also forgot to send a  card...for shame...

Happy Birthday

Today is or was Groucho Marx's birthday...October 2, 1890...imagine that! Go ahead and laugh in the face of ridiculousness...and while you're at it...wish GM a HB! Now go and have a bowl of

Duck Soup :)

Although Groucho Marx started his film career in the silent movie era, he earned his fame far before his movie stardom. Groucho Marx and his brothers became popular after their Broadway play "I'll Say She Is." With the success of this play, Groucho Marx became well known as a cigar smoking comedian, with a fake bushy mustache. As his popularity grew, he became even more famous for his rib-tickling one-liners. If you enjoy humorous quotes, Groucho Marx can make you chuckle with delight.

Groucho Marx

I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7.30 to 8.00 to educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at 6:30.

Groucho Marx

I won't belong to any organization that would have me as a member.

Groucho Marx

Do you think I could buy back my introduction to you?

Groucho Marx

Don’t look now but I think there’s one too many is this room right now, and I think it’s you.

Groucho Marx

I started smoking as soon as I went on the stage. I'd make cigars out of the Morning World when I was a kid.

Groucho Marx

I was married by a judge, I should have asked for a jury.

Groucho Marx

If he [Chico] made ten thousand dollars a day, he'd spend ten thousand dollars a day. I don't mind that. What I do mind is that he still sleeps better than I do.

Groucho Marx

If he's been married for 31 years, he's not the same man.

Groucho Marx

If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you.

Groucho Marx

If women dressed for men, the stores wouldn't sell much -- just an occasional sun visor.

Groucho Marx

If you fall out of that window and break both your legs, don't come running to me.

Groucho Marx

Money cannot buy you happiness, and happiness cannot buy you money. That might be a wise crack, but I doubt it.

Groucho Marx

Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.

Groucho Marx

My brother thinks he's a chicken - we don't talk him out of it because we need the eggs.

Groucho Marx

My favorite poem is the one that starts 'Thirty days hath September' because it actually tells you something.

Groucho Marx

My mother loved children - she would have given anything if I had been one.

Groucho Marx

It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy.

Groucho Marx

Middle age is when you go to bed at night and hope you feel better in the morning. Old age is when you go to bed at night and hope you wake up in the morning.

Groucho Marx

Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.

Groucho Marx

It's [L.A.] a wonderful city. If they'd lower the taxes and get rid of the smog and clean up the traffic mess, I really believe I'd settle here until the next earthquake.

Groucho Marx

I've been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin.

Groucho Marx

I've been looking for a girl like you -- not you, but a girl like you

Groucho Marx

I've got the brain of a four year old. I'll bet he was glad to be rid of it.

Groucho Marx

Marriage is a wonderful institution... but who wants to live in an institution?

Groucho Marx

Oh! Are you from Wales? Do you know a fella named Jonah? He used to live in whales for a while.
