I don't know exactly what they put in boat primer, but after working in the fumes for half an hour your mind starts to banana banana february umbrella 24. ....what was I talking about?

Kiefer Sutherland's full name is Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland.

That's a lot of names for one man.

What if there was a world where everyone had to imagine Batman on roller skates, in order to fall asleep? Then if they were tired and groggy, you would know why.

I don't know how to describe this strange song.

It is as if she performed a Christian song during a psychotic break.

It's really pretty. But bizarre. High psychedelia.

It's Nina Hagen. Bizarre is her middle name.

She's a friend of a friend. I was invited to her fiftieth birthday party. So we were sitting like normal, talking life. It was amazing.

That's pretty awesome, going to Nina Hagens birthday party.

She was pretty unique and hard to describe. 70s/80s German punk merged with hard rock is my best attempt. I liked a lot of her songs and back up band Spliff. Bahnhof Zoo, Fruling in Paris, Alptraume to mention a few. I got to see her live in Mannheim in 85. Very dynamic voice and showmanship.

One trippy fact, we were Hari Krishnas at the same time, and came to Christ at the same time.

I think she was Hari Krishna when I saw her and remember she had invited audience to stay after the show and talk religion. I didn't know she had become Christian but am not trully surprised. Good news to me.

If you can remember the "Bonanza" theme music, here's the lyrics that go with it:
"Git it up, git it in, git it out, don't muss my hair-doooo."

Don’t ask how I stumbled on this…it’s longer than you think it is and gets weirder the longer it goes. And don’t miss the violinist’s solo.

Stainless steel medical ID bracelet
(Hoffman device I was forced to wear on my shattered left wrist in the early 80s)
It was clunky and got caught on everything.
I was constantly having to go back to the surgeon who installed it to have the hardware retorqued because it was in a constant state of disassembly because of how rough I was on it.
After a bit, I started carrying the required wrenches so I could do it myself before I got him to dial it in.
Eventually I went into his office with blue Loctite (industrial thread locking compound) in order to prevent it from falling apart.
That worked fantastic I might add.

No doubt that I was using my arm above and beyond where I should have been at the time.
(yes, I figured out how to use it as a bridge to shoot pool with it too)
(one joker one night accused me of having it put on my arm to improve my pool skills)
( I was in the process of draining and flushing his and other's wallets playing nine ball in the local pool hall)



Of course because I had a lot of time to study it, I redesigned it (machinist/mech engineers will do that)and figured out a way to improve on all aspects of it.
My ideas were scoffed at because I wasn't a medical professional.

The brass monogram was fitted to it by me when an engraver refused to do it on the device

Alrighty then...

Experts generally assume that they are smarter than a handyman about everything, but their repairs are appalling. I saw a copy of the Apollo moon buggy, and any racing bike mechanic could have made it a lot lighter. In general, NASA designs vehicles without reference to Earthly experience. Car guys must quit in frustration.
