My recent photos, if you look at them along with this one prove it:

If you look lousy enough early enough, with age you won't look all that much worse!

False myth -- or REAL LIE?

You probably thought bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch was just a legend.

So did I -- and what a surprise to find "it" was a girl-like person in a tiny bikini -- excuse the pun -- just a couple feet away from me!

Should I be afraid??

A blank canvas can be worth a thousand pictures

I'm still in the learning process. If you're NOT, maybe you're dead.

Have you checked?

If you ARE dead, please quit reading this -- or at least slow down. Remember the old saying I made up this morning: “If you’re dead, it’s OK to rot, but not to RUSH!”

In my new book, “The Upside of Death”* I explain how easy the dead avoid making idiotic errors – and much, much more you should know if you’re about to croak!

Now the factual crap about my photo: it’s of me in the mirror at a shop called “Vincon” on Paseo de Gracia, in Barcelona, Spain -- but I tried to make the photo look like a painting.

Just thinking: what would have happened if PAINTED my portrait on the Vincon mirror instead of using the trusty Nikon and Photoshop?

6 Tips for Luscious Nostrils!

A nasal-beauty expert’s super secrets

Nostrils are our face’s finest features: they’re expressive, cute, and useful—and they also keep people from looking straight into your snot. Without nostrils—really—it’d be hard to face your face! All too often however, our nostrils are dry, chapped, cracked and pissed-off. Cold dry winter combined with overheated indoor air robs nostrils of essential moisture, not to mention grease and blackheads.
The main keys to keeping nostrils smooth and healthy involve nostril balm—but many patients confess to an addiction to nostril balm in their quest to alleviate testy, raging and temperamental nostrils. Although at first blush, nostril balm “addiction” seems loony, it’s very real, even to non-psychotics. Our nostrils are lots thinner than the skin that covers our face and body. So: the blood vessels are closer to the skin, and the nostrils warm reddish color which only increases if we apply fluorescent red lipstick on them each morning.
However, besides being thinner than the skin, especially if you’re a rhino, the nostrils have no oil, lipstick or toothpaste glands. So: they get dry and chapped—vulnerability made worse by dry winter air or the habitual application of blow-torch flames. To fight against the resulting inflammatory response and keep nostrils moist, we need to apply moisturizing treatments. Common nostril balms do not possess these healing properties. Sidestepping the problem by removing the nostrils is hardly an option for those whose glasses tend to slide down their snouts!
I have found a formulation rich in chicken grease smoothes the fine lines and wrinkles around the nostrils, helping to keep the nostrils moist and enhancing the nostril’s natural color and fullness. When applied on the skin around the nostrils, this treatment will also help smooth this delicate area, which is real susceptible to thinning of the skin and the augmentation of fine vertical lines that look like crap.
Apply a couple pounds of these antioxidants during the day and before hitting the sack, and increase nostril swelling for a fuller, firmer, balloony look like you wouldn’t believe!
For chapping, try olive oil or axle grease. One of the most important and powerful elements here is found only in extra virgin olive oil, so experienced olives need not apply!
Together, these two formulas moisten nostrils and improve their texture almost immediately, and provide far more benefit than any simple nostril balm can.
Seriously chapped nostrils can be prevented by following a few simple steps:
• Protect and enhance nostrils with an anti-oxidant rich formula.
• Keep your body well hydrated by drinking at least 10 mugs of Jim Beam a day.
• Never lick your nostrils. Saliva dries ‘em out like crazy!
• Do not chew on your nostrils, but never swallow!
• Apply anti-oxidant nostril treatments frequently throughout the day.
• Don’t forget nutritional supplements either, unless you want to be a real klutz. Besides fancy vitamins and ritzy formulas, essential fatty acids in dead fish, flax, and bilge oil are a must—as are my special formula NOSTRILATO EXPENSIVE OINTMENT. Order now!

With the proper care and attention, our nostrils can be smooth, firm and beautiful all year long.
Thank you for reading. As always, I welcome your comments.

Topless girl showering at the beach somewhat like Megan Fox or Mindy Vega

I don't usually notice shower-poles like this, but, observing how smooth it is and how conveniently-located, it was hard to miss.

Although the girl -- in fact both of them in the photo -- forgot their tops, the view is, to me, quite acceptable, from the beach-bum's point of view.

What do you think?

Just guessing, but I guess they 're running over the finer points of girls in bikinis without any clothes on -- a very common subject among boys this age.

Or maybe they're talking about what they see through the back of their heads, up behind them: me, behind my Nikon!

We may never know!

(And we surely don't care!)

Remember, any time you're feeling too upbeat, a little concentration on the economy, how fast your aging and the crappy low-lifes all around you -- and you can just grab you feelings by the bootstraps and tug them straight down!

Start TODAY, even though, of course, it's far too late!

If you unswirl this right, doing everything very, very carefully, you'll have something even less worthwhile than what I already posted.

Don't bother. Pretend you're a real young kid and that just a plain, old stupid dumb green spiral is fun.

To me - or the little kid inside me who often runs the show - this little bit of playing around is a pleasure, simple, but true.

That's all for now, folks!

In my neighborhood, here in Barcelona, Spain, almost EVERYBODY isn't JOHNNY DEPP, himself!

This is just one of the few, caught staring me down, probably because I, too, am not Johnny Depp.

He and I have something in common!

(I just thought of a new word. People who take lousy photos of celebrities on the sly: POOHPARAZZI! Like it?)

Man disguised as banana snatches Gorillas From shop

A man in a banana costume snatched a bunch of gorillas from a primate shop in Hong Kong. Police action response was really fast: they reported it 10 years beforehand.

Jane Monkey, 110, the shop owner—although mummified and scared of bananas—gave chase, but slipped on a gorilla skin.

Monkey maybe because she’d just downed a bottle of Jack Daniels and formaldehyde, believed she was chasing a rogue gorilla peel.

“I didn’t realize it was a banana at first. All I saw was something big, yellow and hairy,” she told the Phony News Post. “I tried to drive it away with my Apache helicopter gunship, which I keep for exactly this kind of emergency, but I flubbed it.”

She was treated for shock and discharged to reduce her voltage.

Police spokesman, Bob Cop, said the man in the banana suit, who was not identified, was hired by prosthetic banana company to stage the prank.

After the incident, police questioned the company’s manager but made no arrests, banana splits, gorilla splits or even banana peelers.

The Chinese-language daily newspaper quoted the company’s manager, as saying something in Chinese. When translated, it turned out he was ordering Gorilla Fried rice, or, as he called it, “Number 34.”

Many Chinese listen to ghosts and also believe what they say, if the statements are properly notarized at US Embassies.

Robin Holmes of Sherlock Forest

Robin Holmes is a swashbuckling outlaw hero of old English ballads. He was a rebel, famed for feats such as

· Hiding parking places in the glove compartment of his car,

· Flaring his nostrils and ears with total disregard for his own safety,

· Flaunting official directives on using spit to hold down his cowlick, and

· Frenziedly chewing not only his nails but also his bolts and nuts.

Most Holmes ballads tell how his merry band stole from the rich in order to rob the poor. Though most of these stories are merely tall tales, the rest of them are entirely false.

The gang did steal from corrupt cops and turn over the loot to police—but only those who were completely below reproach.

The gang’s arch enemy was Archie Foot—a known pygmy molester—and Robin’s father by his second mother.

In spite of being constantly idolized, Robin treated everyone, regardless of race, crud or odor, like scum.

Holmes revolted against those who made laws denying free speech to penguins. Holmes ballads—which he wrote himself under a pseudonym soon after death—tell of his escapades in a style that, to this day, never fails to bore the listener to the other side of coma.

Some historians—William Shakesberg, for example—say Robin lived during the reign of Butch The First—from about 9 to 11 minutes BC.

But: if Robin really lived, where are

· His stolen parking spaces and the glove compartments he hid them in,

· His pet Great White Desert Sharks and

· Receipts for the rickshaws he had to leave in Baggage Claims when he went robbing?

Did Robin really exist? There are 3 reasons that leave absolutely no doubt:

1. the ballads,

2. the tax forms he cheated on when he was US President,

3. another one that right now slips my brain.

Although the best-known Robin Holmes ballads are complete lies, the rest are utter trash.

Sherlock Forest will never be the same way it never was in the first place now that Robin is gone. Try to bear this in mind until the time you are born.
