Tattoo

Good evenin ta one an all! Are ya checkin out my Tattoo? Yeah,I got one. Check out the tough lookin sitches man......swwwweeeettttt.......
Narley dude. Ride'in the wave man. Pull your hair through a cap for blond highlights kind of stuff dude. Tightenin up the mohawk. Chainin your wallet to your hip good. Black fingernails and lipstick good. Hangin out in the graveyard good.

Kay! Now that that's out of the way. We can go on to other things here in my blog. In reality I had to coax Mike into lettin me have a tatto. Talk about tough! He really didn't want me to. I told him we can always unsew it. He agreed since it really wasn't permanent.

On the brighter side of things,three days and countin till Mike's vacation! Now that's what I'm talkin bout. Happy Sunday! Bubba

Later that same day

Here it is later this very same day.....and I'm a couch potato taday! Cold temps seem ta do that to a person. Sock Monkey,I mean Sock Monkey! LOL! Sorry bout that folks. Slipped out ta lunch on that one. Be back in 5 minutes. Gone fishin. Lost Sock in the wash kind of feelin. It twasn't pleasent. Bein all pink.....like that. Don't git me wrong...I like Humans. I think I'll keep my brown Sock colorin! But,anyway ya'll git the picture. Mike has noticed a hole in the back of my Sock head. Looks as if it'll be a patch job. I have ask him if he'll use the Sock Monkey fabric with S.M.'s on it,so's it'll look like a S.M. tattoo. He said he'd give it some consideration. Perhaps we could just sew it up and it'll look like a really bad,cool scar! Make me tough lookin! The biggest,badest S.M. ever! Scar Sock! I can see it now. Comin to a theatre near ya'll! I suppose ya'll will have to wait till the trailor comes out ta git a peek. There hasn't been any contracts come across my desk,so ta speak.



The Raspberries are here for a visit. Aren't they the cutest little things? Hey guys! And welcome to Bubba's Sock Drawer! Say Hi to the folks out in Sockland. O-Kay! Bubba's gonna go on talkin bout thangs. Ya'll just make yourselves at home and enjoy the blog. I always do love bloggin so my fans can keep abreast of Bubba's where-abouts.

Old re-runs of Stargate SG-1 on the SCI-FI channel. Great way to spend a lazy afternoon. And thanks for all your cards and letters ya'll bein concerned and all bout our TV situation. That was so sweet of ya'll! Thanks for all the sales and bargians ya'll informed us about! The new set is workin just fine and all is well. The old set was set out by the curb in hopes the trash guys would take it away. Oh the Tv set disappeared,but only for a day or so. It then appeared back on the curb all smashed up! LOL! Now it has disappeared but once again. I sure hope this time is for keeps! A Sock Monkey gits tired of the now ya'll see it,now ya'll don't kind of thang. I'm glad we had the chance ta clear all that up. Just so ya'll know...Bein a southern Sock Monkey and a gentlemen,once removed from the knittin machine. Don't make me go all Kentucky Fried Chicken on your ass. Crispy or Original is not the question. But it'll all be alright.

I'll just keep on babblin Sock Monkey goins on forever. By now TAPS has hit the TV scene. Let's look for ghost again. Fun ta hear the stories. Down at the Bradley Playhouse. Actors have reported seeing ghost in mirrors and glass reflections. So TAPS has shown up to debunk their ghostly claims. Either that or find some kind of proof. They really never have found that proof they always seek. A few things unexplained,but nothing ya'll could think of maybe bein real proof. So good for them if that's what they love ta do.

The sun has gone down once again over Nashville. Another day comin to a close. Like the grains of sand,fallin through an hour glass. Bubba

Boy howdy its cold

I'm tellin ya'll! It's gonna get coooollllddddd tonight! Right down ta 17 degrees! And tomorrow night? 2 degrees! Ouch! Here in the south! Ya'll see me here,still sittin and dryin off. I think I'm pretty close ta bein done. Just thought I'd smoke a stoggie. I know I shouldn't,but what the hell! And bang! The world still hasn't stopped spinnin! So there ya go on that subject.
We Sock Monkeys have way more important things to discuss. Years of wisdom! The red heel smile speaks for itself. Does it not make ya'll smile as well? Don't worry,be happy I always say! After all they are free ta give away. They always come back to you. The smiles I mean.
Now if ya'll are interested in what Bubba's doin this cold afternoon......I am currently watchin a show called "Growin up Penguin." Talkin bout a zoo that raises them. Tryin ta keep them from bein extinct. They tell but the eggs they have and how they check them twice a day to help keep them healthy and see that they hatch properly. I learned a good bit about them.
The show before this one was kind of interestin as well. It was on true stories of folks whom bought an old house and it was haunted. They told the story of what happened to them and their families while livin "Ghost." Now I don't know if they really do exist or not. I can only make some kind of educated guess. And then we never know if our guess is ever correct in some kind of way. Folks have been studyin it for centuries. No one has really come up with any real evidence. We can only tell bout the things we experience durin our dailey lives. I don't doubt that these folks aren't tellin the truth. Why would they want to look like fools to most of the population? I willin ta bet there is truth to it. My guess tells me this is demonic. I don't think God would let the souls and angels in heaven, scare people to this degree. God wouldn't do that. These people experienced posession and strange things like chairs and other objects move on their own accord. So this tells me its of the Devil's origin. It broke up families and some went crazy over it. They were all otherwise happy until they moved into this haunted mansion. I won't bore ya'll with it anymore,but I thought it was interestin ta watch. Much like the UFO shows I like ta watch. O-Kay! I'll not get started on that subject. I think ya'll have heard me git right up on my soap box bout our visitors. I'm just sayin!

The veggie soup of last evenin was ta die for! I was stuffed! LOL! No pun intended. But it did say that didn't it? All the vegetable goodness and vitamins! In a nice healthy way. Not ta mention the hot soup factor that keeps ya'll warm on a cold night. This is Bubba signin out. Happy hump day! Bubba

The soup is mighty warm

Just sittin here having a pipin hot bowl of soup! To cold for any livin thing to be out on such a night. As cold as A.K. is,it won't bother her at t'all! The meanest creature alive! No more drama in 2009! It's my turn! She says! Baaa-hum bug! Hipocrit! It's from the turner side of things! And no! He doesn't deserve a capital letter for his name. She makes even the witched witch of the north,south,east and west look like pixie dust spearders! The evilest thing you fear or imagine in that one! The woman doesn't know she's under a microscope herself. Here comes the ten fold! Are ya ready? Biggest surprise she'll ever git in her miserable life! Watch out below! As the bluebird of happiness shits on your head!
She can't harm a flea. She only thinks she can. Once again she was set up. And she fell hard thinkin she can still control folks. Not true here. You have no power here! The journal is all for you. I'm gonna fuck you up with it. Mark my words bitch!



Bubba

I'm afraid ya'll caught me here in my bubble bath! Tis alright,come in and sit down Possums. We Sock monkeys are quite known for our walkin around in the buff. It's quite common even to your kind. Humans that is. Ya see? Sock Monkeys have to be hand washed. We are very delicate creatures of folk art. Unravelin to horrible to mention. A quick ride in the spin cycle rings out the excess water. And there ya have it! A clean Sock Monkey. Sittin on the shelf all day,brings lots of collected dust. One gets dirty.
So the weather is turnin out to be rather cold today. I dare say it'll not get out of the 20's tomorrow. Got a pot of fresh veggie soup on the stove simmerin. Smells good! Mike just stepped into the kitchen to drop in the chicken leg quarters so they could start seasonin the porridge. Just like the man at the grocery store said,10 lbs. of chicken that we give to the dogs! And so we shall! Each and every time. Great minds think alike! The shear genius of it all. Ya'll understand.
Bein clean and everything,I settle myself by the fire.(the plug in heater.) Journal all filled up for enquirin minds. Wink,wink.
Grandma Jones is just not suitible. Nice try though.
As we stair out our window pain into the cold air that exist just outside, and watch the Christmas cactus grow. Ever so slowly. With the brew on the stove smellin ever so wonderful. The aroma of healthy goodness fills our flat to perfection. A lazy day here at 606! Love to stay home and snuggle up when it's cold outside.
The riddex thing still hasn't come yet. Really strange. I had to put a rat trap in the attic for whatever lerks in the darkness there. Like a Alfred Hitchcock movie. Just when you think your alone......
Ya'll can fill in the blanks next. I prefer it that way. No more drama in 2009 has turned out ta be the joke of the season. As for the moment,my mind draws a blank anyway.



Can't ya'll smell it? Great cold day supper! A tall glass of skim milk ta go along with it! Won't ya'll stay for supper? Whats ya'll say? Never taken supper with a Sock Monkey? Why there's a first time for everthang! Ya'll just might enjoy it. Did ya'll ever consider the possiblities? I dun told ya and told ya,2009 is gonna be a fabulous year! Please pay attention next time.
The real question is and always remains,are we gonna have snow tomorrow? It's sure feelin that way eventhough I haven't heard any weather report to support my thoughts. A union go ta meetin on the books for first thang tomorrow mornin for Mike. Sucks on a wintery blistery day. Folks can come up with more stuff ta ruin a perfectly good day off. I suppose it makes them feel in control.
There is always Sock Monkey tails afterwards. I'm sure there will be a few. Mike is always thinkin of somethin we can git into. An hour and a half of imagination time will provide the answers to all. And git paid fer it too! It's shake and bake and I helped! You have a beard,you can handle it! I'm quite sure!
Now,if ya'll will excuse me,I'm gonna soak in the tub.



Have a great Tuesday! Bubba

Toy Hall of Fame

Okay! Ya'll caught me here in Nashville on a cold rainy day. I am sittin here readin my favorite book by B.K. Connelly. "Everything's coming up Sock Monkeys!" What else does one do on a rainy day? Now,ya'll might want ta be careful askin a Sock Monkey this question cause I just might tell ya. Upon wakin up this mornin,The Toy Hall of Fame was on my mine. I thought to myself,"I wonder if the Sock monkey was ever added." So durin my mornin coffee,I went online to check it out. Did not find a listin! I was shocked beyond belief! We Sock Monkeys have been invented since the early 30's when the red heel sock was invented. I believe it's been 77 years! Don't we rate? Raggedy Anne got in and she was a homespun creation as well. I quickly clicked the "Nominate" button! Just as pretty as you please! I'm not ashamed! I'm proud to be a Sock Monkey with style! Sure I've taken off my Tux and tails,but a celeb has the right to relax.
So here I am faced with the Nomination form to fill out and submit. Ya'll won't believe my Sock Monkey fingers were typin so fast they couldn't keep up with my Sock Monkey thoughts!!! Fast and furious it all spilled out onto the screen! Like it was magic flowin out of my fingers. So there ya have it! We Sock Monkeys have been nominated for The Toy Hall of Fame! Great way ta start off the New Year! Let 2009 be the year of the Sock Monkey! I know ya'll are sittin there wonderin,"Why didn't I think of that?" It's as plain as the nose on your face! That's what-cha got Bubba for! And I'm proud ta be there. This is an issue that needs ta be resolved immediately! This cannot be allowed to continue! I left my phone number there in hopes they would call me and give me the good news! Now we sit back and wait...Just as we did for No more drama in 2009! It's my turnnnn!


So sittin here with my resolution button on....I look down and it says Sock Monkey of the year on it. The tears welled up in my eyes,my buttons were a blir! Never have I felt such emotion come over me. I Bubba was standin there with my rod and staf out ready to march forward! I had ta have just a little drama. So little OPPS! There it goes! I have taken a stand and it lifts my soul up out of the darkness to see a new day! And there,standin in the mist of the fog was my Friend Mike! The bestest Human anyone could ever have! BFF's that no one has ever seen!!!!!!!


My notes one the subject will hopefully lift your spirits and make ya'll's Tuesday The best Tuesday ya'll ever had. Bubba

To be more Fabulous

So.....The holidays are over and the New Year has rung itself in. So what does one do after that? Ya sit on the stairs of life and wonder what wonderful things are about to commence. Got your favorite Sock Monkey mug from the Sock Monkey museum and it's full of coffee for thinkin! Let the caffiene swirl around your brain and embrace the energy it gives us to get our day started.

The cloud cover over head is left over from last nights rain. Brought colder temps. It has been pretty warm up until now. The mouse in the attic gets very active in the mornin hours. We have already caught four mice in traps in the kitchen. Poison pellets have been spread around the attic in attempts to get this one as well. Riddex Plus (as seen on TV) has been ordered and is on it's way. Plug it in and it's suppose to do the rest! No bugs,no mice,no rats are the claims this contraption makes. I will keep you posted on it's progress as we go along. Now if it would just come in the mail so we could get started.



Mike's job handed out New Years resolution buttons and they are suppose to write their resolution on it. Mike simply wrote on his "To be more Fabulous". Plain and simple enough. I hope ya'll can be more fabulous in your lives as the new week begins! Bubba
