Gifts For Super heroes

   Hey, everyone. It being Christmas, I thought you might have a few Super-Heroes on your list. As a full service blog, I thought I'd share some of the things I have bought for my super-friends.
1) Spiderman- Anything. The guy has no luck at all.
2) Submariner- Deodorant. He smells like fish.
3) Superman- Kryptonite antidote.
4) Green Lantern- A matching green bracelet for that cool ring.
5) Iron Man- Pepper Potts, wrapped in a red ribbon. Just a red ribbon.
6) Batman- A dehumidifier for that drafty old Bat-cave.
7) Hulk- Clothes are always good. The dude is hard on clothes.
8) Flash- Shoes, obviously. Yellow Reeboks with wings on them. How is it that he doesn't have a shoe deal with Nike or someone?
9) Wonder Woman- Victoria's Secret, of course. I'd need her there with me to try on the stuff.
10) Black Widow- A whip, to go with all that black leather.
11) Thor- A new name. So he wouldn't sound like a muscle condition with a speech impediment.
12) Catwoman- Cream will do.
13) Mystique- She doesn't need a single, solitary thing. Wow. I envy Magneto.
14) Loki- New headgear. The horns leave a bad first impression. Can you imagine picking up your date for the prom, meeting the parents? They'd think you were evil, or something.
15) Doctor Octopus- Cooler shades.
16) Popeye the sailor man- A less skinny girlfriend... or spinach will do in a pinch. How about a can opener?
17) Porky Pig- Some sort of underpants, please. His pink butt is nauseating.
18) Odin- Energy drinks. The Odin sleep has to be a drag.
19) Volstag- Spa membership.
20) Storm- How about a ground fault protection strip for plug-ins? Or a raincoat? Umbrella? Wolverine?
    From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills. Merry Christmas to all.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...
