Have I told you about the time I met John McCain at my local Starbucks here in Yuma? I asked him if he'd mind re-creating his OEB-famous sticking-out-his-tongue pose for me while I snapped a quick photo. Security was called. Now I need someplace to hide away.

Think the clue could be in the 'suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be'.. he's now 4X the man and she's sick of nagging him 😆 This was hilarious, Bob!

On my two visits to London, breakfast definitely made me.....well, I don't need to type THAT descriptive sentence again where you told Sir Paul how truly awful a non-vegan English breakfast can be. By the way, Bob, I know you never wanted to be a stand-up comedian - or did you? But you are one hell of a sit-down (while writing, that is) comedian. BRAVO as always for giving me TONS of chuckles, chortles, and outright guffaws. Another great one. Thanks.

Thank you, Sandy. You know, you should spend more time at that Starbucks. Amazing gathering. Last Sunday, Jimmy Hoffa...

Yeah an English fry up is kinda heavy. You should try a Scottish one ;)

Hilariously clever, my friend.

Eerily familiar to the time he interrupted my private time at White Castle on 38th, when he called ME out by asking , “Aren’t you the bloke that kept distracting John when you sat on the Indy Fairgrounds stage at his feet?

Had completely forgotten that incident.

Thanks!

Most enlightening, Mr. B.

To Man in song: I always suspected you were an insensitive clod and knew damn well why she went away. To Woman in song: Good on you, girlfriend. Keep walkin' and stay strong.

Talking to the scotch-swilling “ghost” in your house is one thing. But this … Bob. Please get help.
