People watching......

Interesting, ain't it?

There were long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones, black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones.

We spend a lifetime 'reading' of these people.  Some, transparent, no pretense.  Easy peasy to read, like a Big Chief tablet.  Can be good (WHAT a wonderful, giving, loving person, always) or, not-so-much (WHAT a pompous ass, always.)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1966, The Standells, with their Dirty Water offer... spouted "Down by the river... down by the banks of the river Charles..  Oh, that's what's happenin', baby, That's where you'll find me.... Along with lovers, muggers and thieves - Oh, but they're cool people.

So..... thus far, we've got..  different sizes, colors, niceness, asswipeness, lovers, muggers and thieves.

But then........

I love this bar (ie, life)......  We've got winners, we've got losers, chain-smokers and boozers.. we got yuppies... we got bikers.. we got thirsty hitchhikers... and the girls next door dress up like movie stars... hmmm, hmmmm, I love this bar (life).

Then again, Babs said:

People, people who need people are the luckiest people in the World... we're children, needing other children, and yet letting our grown-up pride hide all the need inside... acting more like children than children.

'Boy howdy' as my friend Janice likes to say, and I SO love that saying by her!

But... Victor, 147th reminder, you can't start a sentence with but.

But, I'm sure it ain't her original statement, still, I love it.  She's real.

Some ain't.  They be fake, ya know?  Ya notice?  Them her real eyelashes? He had a tummy tuck?  That little bitty gal over there, SURELY, those can't be her real... VICTOR!  STOP!

I was just watching people.

You know, you know, you know my name.........  no, that ain't it.

You know I'm a sport's nerd.  (We the people.... hmmm, heard that one before....  we the people, are all nerds of differn't sorts...  some like sales... some like work... some are Maynard G Crebs "WoRk!"...some are Dobie Gillis nerds, Leave it to Beav..  Andy/Barney/Bea/Ope.. General Hospital, Fox news, CNN, games, scientific, yada yada, some write, like to use 'yada' as all inclusive.  Some folks simple want to be included.  Others, hate inclusion.

Back to Sports.... Danny Duffy... he usedta be a pitcher for the KC Royals...  He once made an astute statement regarding pitching...  "I've figured out, finally, that I'll never really figure it out."  That's kinda like life, people.  Some can't even make it thru a fast food drive thru.  HUH?  Tea? China?  (Danny was arrested... halfway between the Burger King order speaker thingy and the drive thru window... he had passed out in his car.) Shows to go, pitching can be easy, life, sometimes, not-so-much, even flame broiled.

Some people are QR Codes when you try to figure 'em out with a cheapy Android phone.  Victor, you're getting bit ridiculous, 'out there'... the hell do you mean?  Well, our golf course has a QR thingy going on... you gotta scan it with your phone, the link will pop up, you hit 'redeem', easy peasy. EXCEPT, Android phones are seemingly illiterate in reading QR Codes... so, I gotta run to stairwell... holler at lady working up there..  say "Hey, can you come down so I can use your iPhone?"......... point being, "hard to read"...  people, people who need people.. long ones, short ones, brown ones, lovers, muggers, thieves...

(Hard to read, continued...) Yeah, we know Victor.  Well, we don't really know Victor (Geez Louise can you just imagine what that CT Scan must look like?)

Bite me.....continueing...   folks that can't spell, winners, losers, chain-smokers, boozers, yuppies, bikers, thirsty hitchhikers.........

Nerds of all ilks........ 

Side note....... I LOVE me some "Brainy Quotes"... you can find really really cool (my opine) quotes about virtually anything in life........ I Googled "Brainy Quotes about people" and sure, it led me there...  then...  it had the GD (Gosh Darn) gall to make me prove I was a human.  I'm like, BE FOR REAL!  Seen the News?  Them, NINE, I think it was, that escaped jail in New Orleans?  They captured two of 'em using "facial recognition" technology.  Honest.  Hey Brainy Quotes?  Zone in on my face, I'm fer real!

I was in a weird mood, sorry, kinda.. you were stuck... but you prolly left long ago.

Eh, we all slip there Ellie... it's a people trait..   I hope your day is fun, fulla people watching.. and that those times, eyeballs, lend smile to your gourd. (Gourds come in all different sizes, shapes, colors..     VICTOR!  GET LOST!

Tune in tomorrow when we'll debate, was it LIVE or Memorex (AI)?  And, whether or not Patsy was really crazy.

Love, Victurd
