ONE LAST DAY! AND WE HAVE TO START WITH THIS JEWEL...
Alice Cooper - School's out 1972
I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM AND "JO JO GUN" AT THE MALL TWICE IN ONE DAY... THE FIRST 2 ALBUMS WERE STOLEN WITHIN MINUTES OF MY PAYING FOR THEM.
Wire, bliar, limber-lock
Three geese in a flock
One flew east, one flew west

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One good movie and one great read. Highly recommended.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE...
Highlander (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is where I saw "Brother Justin"
for the first time... as Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) 's nemisis The Kurgan (Clancy Brown). We ate these up at our house... the movies, the series and the animated version.
The theme song is by Queen.

The series featured Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul). Guess which one is my favorite MacLeod?
A single is one... here are a couple of singles with the word ONE in their titles.
Scorpions - No One Like You: Original - PCM Version
Metallica - One (live)

Harry Nilsson - I'd Rather Be Dead
HARRY WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF BOTH JOHN LENNON AND RINGO STARR. IF YOU LISTEN AND KNOW THEIR VOICES, YOU CAN HEAR THEM SINGING.
WHAT HARRY AND PALS DID, WAS ROUND UP A BUNCH OF OLDER FOLK AND HAVE THEM SING THE BACK GROUND VOCALS... AFTER GIVING THEM ALL GLASSES OF SHERRY.
Short story time: When I was a little kid, my folks used to ship me off to stay with my great grandmother in Eaglerock by Los Angeles. Great Grandma was a sweet, very proper old lady who lived to be 103... mind still sharp as a tack. I guess she was in her 80s at this time. Anway, she used to watch her "stories" . That was fairly typical I suppose, but Grandma would talk to her story characters. If she was alone in the room, they had conversations! I was gald that the people on TV never answered her back out loud. (I think they did in her head.) But she would tell them off. She would come pick me up from the bus station and tell me all about what Audry had done this time. Or who she thought Dr. Steve was going to sleep with now.
One Life to Live - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia was her favorite "story".
NOW HERE IS ONE STORY FOR YOU TO READ:
StephenKing.com - One for the Road
One for the Road (short story) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DID YOU KNOW THAT STEPHEN KING IS THE NUMBER ONE BEST SELLING AUTHOR IN THE US? One for the Road was in the anthology, Night Shift but was originally published in a Maine magazine in 1977.OKAY... YOUR TURN. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY GREAT ONES?
Yesterday afternoon I visited the foot doc and the physical therapist. A busy day. The doc taped my feet again and gave me the go ahead to walk if I feel comfortable doing it. HOORAY!
My usual therapy god was ill, so I got a goddess this time. Wow, she has some fine hands and they do wonderful things. She also gave me a tennis ball... I had to resist the urge to say "Go for a walk?" and pant. She also told me to freeze some bottled water and to roll the bottle under my instep twice a day. I did... and it's nice too. The feet are getting better. We're almost back to normal.
Just in the nick of time! Summer... here I come. At least for the weekend. They tagged a few extra days onto my year. I cannot complain as I lost days to budget cuts and that was money. I like money. But the good news is that the lunatics we call students... they are wild things this time of year... will all be off to terrorize their families. I will have my nice, quiet sanctuary all to myself. I don't mind it a bit. Big cheesy grin!
I hope your day sets you free as well.
glad to hear the feet are coming along well.
ReplyDeleteschool's out for summer! you made it. :)
lime--Thanks. I am on top of the world today.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have happy feet again. I was teaching my girls basic tennis moves on Wednesday and today I have stinging shins. It's not bad. Just a sign that I used muscles I hadn't used in a while.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing that popped into my head about one is that one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
BTW that Scorpions album cover always reminded me of Sonny Bono.
I forgot to comment about Highlander. I may be projecting my own desires onto you, but I'm guessing your favorite was Adrian Paul.
ReplyDeleteChristopher Lambert drove me to distraction with those crossed eyes of his. If I gaze at them for more than a few minutes, I get an overwhelming urge to slam a heavy object into the TV screen.
ub40 - i am the ONE in ten.
ReplyDeleterub rub rub those feet
gently down the stream
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is but a dream.
Cube-- Ouch... shins. Mine did that when I first began to get back into shape. Not that you're out of shape. Geez... I'm going to get myself in trouble.
ReplyDeleteGlad you brought up "One is the Loneliest Number.." Three Dog Night made it popular, but it was written by my Harry Nilsson (the "I'd Rather Be Dead" guy in this post. You would not believe how many songs you know that Harry wrote!)
Well, I never thought about Sonny when I looked at that album, even when I was playing it to death when it was new... but I will now!
hahahahahahaha
Cube-- Oh yeah, Adrian Paul was the better Highlander. No offense to Mr. Cross-eyes, though it was his not right accent that got to me. I did like him as Raydon (sp.?) in Mortal Combat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have named my Puck "Connor". Both are cross-eyed. Bear can't stand Puck because of it. She says he creeps her out when he looks at her. ha
billy-- Nice call!
ReplyDeleteThat's music I can dance to with my happy feet. The tennis ball feels very good and so does the frozen bottled water. I may keep doing these long after the problem is solved.
Isn't it a nice day? Funny how things improve when your feet are pain-free.
My trigonometry teacher in college was severely cross-eyed and she told us the first day that she would point at the student who was called upon to solve a problem otherwise three people would stand up to go to the board. She was an awesome teacher and a hoot to boot. I didn't have any problems with wanting to throw large objects at her general direction. Maybe it was the combination of Lambert's eyes AND his fake accent that did the trick?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making it to the top spot on the countdown. Official or not, it is still pretty cool :-) O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
ReplyDeleteI saw part of the "Highlander" movie in which Lambert wheezed through the whole thing. I could not take much of it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the one meme, there is also that Jet Li movie called "The One" in which he pistol-whips someone with a motorcycle. I never saw it, but hope to some day.
Cube-- I had a driver's ed teacher who had one eye that sort of rolled around and one the stared straight. It was like having a chameleon for a teacher. He had a thing about showing us actual morgue photos of dead from car wrecks. Elsewise he was very funny. But you could not tell if he was looking at you or not. It often freaked me out. Looking him in the eye was like following a fly!
ReplyDeletelaura b.-- Thank you, it has made me ultra giddy and silly and really inappropriate. It will be good when I am safely home without screwing myself up. Ha. We have a staff diner after school. I can be me there... this is good. Me is trying to bust out!
ReplyDeletedmarks-- Wow...I wonder how that works. I could never lift a motorcycle. I've met some folk I'd like to hit with a motorcycle...or heard of like that evil cat slayer in Florida.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the title. I'll have to see if my boy-os have it. They collect Jet, Brandon and Bruce movie as well as martial arts. I may have it at hand.
Yeah here's another ONE, missy: one lousy visit to our porch! What's a matter wichyu?? Gid on over; we got alcohol and ammunition, and plenny a neighbors to fire off at. Now we need us some laughin' people. Is that you???
ReplyDeleteJoyce and Dorthy-- Alcohol and ammo! Why that's two of my favorite things mixed together. Set up another rocker, gals... I got to walk, then I'll be over.
