Left In the snickers row.

Erik, was so hungry he actually

OM45GE - Posted - 05/18/2019:  18:08:20

thought he might eat a couple of the stale potato chips he saw under the vending machine.

If he was alone, he

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/18/2019:  18:58:05

Certainly would’ve made the move.

After depositing 75 cents to retrieve his fingers , the machine

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/19/2019:  18:38:59

returned 2 quarters, as if it somehow knew of Estrada’s plight.

He dropped the charges against Fingers

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/19/2019:  19:17:40

R Us because of faulty attachment.

This only angered him to the point

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/19/2019:  19:51:22

of extreme rage, resulting in a vicious demolition of the vending machine.

Bowlers were aghast

OM45GE - Posted - 05/20/2019:  02:50:39

at the display of unfettered rage.

They were used to

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/20/2019:  07:51:11

stifled emotions, even after gutter balls.

CHIPS was cancelled

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/20/2019:  08:20:48

Due to the lack of Estrada’s fingers.

The chips in the machine however

OM45GE - Posted - 05/20/2019:  08:47:31

were snapped up by souvenir hunters eager to have even bloodstained CHIPS memorabilia.



The show’s producers

Were concerned that the remaining fingers would be purchased along with the dangling snicker bar.

A souvenir that only

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/20/2019:  09:04:25

hit the bottle and were soon seen on skid row.

Erik himself met Betty Ford

OM45GE - Posted - 05/21/2019:  03:12:38

at her clinic where he had gone hoping to meet some attractive yet desperate women.

His plans went awry when

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/21/2019:  14:06:41

Before his very eyes, stood the ghost of Gerald Ford.

Now be a devout tree surgeon,he

OM45GE - Posted - 05/21/2019:  14:27:22

needs to buy a chainsaw.

After that,

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/21/2019:  14:33:00

Bar and chain oil.

Then it’s off

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/21/2019:  14:39:15

to the petrified forest in northern Arizona.



He might run amok

OM45GE - Posted - 05/21/2019:  14:48:53

unless the park rangers are there.

They might

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/21/2019:  17:21:03

Ask odd questions like; are you enjoying the park? Have you seen the waterfall?

This kind of brutal interrogation is

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/21/2019:  19:09:12

fodder for the Chainsawyers’R’Us movement’s picket signs.

Their chief sawyer and bottle washer

OM45GE - Posted - 05/22/2019:  02:53:19

was recently arrested for impersonating someone who cares.

In fact, he

banjoscotty - Posted - 05/22/2019:  04:21:04

looked like Travis Tritt.

But he didn't have a guitar so he

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/22/2019:  06:59:48

Changed his name to Travis Twitt.

Not many records companies

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/22/2019:  08:15:11

want twitts in their stable, one exception being that Conway guy .

His modus operandi

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/22/2019:  10:14:59

Needs a new transmission however.

Cranking up the old Ford is

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/22/2019:  12:02:57

a bit like pumping water out of the old well pump.

I remember halcyon days on the farm

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/22/2019:  14:10:40

When studio wrestling in the barn was for real.

The belt was unselfishly donated by

OM45GE - Posted - 05/23/2019:  03:22:42

Sammy “Suspenders” Malone, who knew how to hold up a pair of trousers.

He said, “Belts are for

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/23/2019:  08:36:16

Sissy’s who don’t wear suspenders!

And with a loud double snap he

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/23/2019:  10:12:50

dove into his bowl of Rice Krispies.

Snap! Crackle! Pop! had been his mantra

OM45GE - Posted - 05/23/2019:  11:07:18

when he was a suspender wearing lad.

There was a brief time when

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/23/2019:  13:36:16

Briefs were all the rage.

Outside the slacks being the best way

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/23/2019:  14:29:03

to attract barflies at Grim Jim’s Bar & Grill.



A brief fling now and then

OM45GE - Posted - 05/23/2019:  18:46:15

is what I need to keep the old juices flowing, if you know what I mean.

Most of my girlfriends

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/23/2019:  19:30:49

Actually don’t approve of this behavior.

But that never really

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/23/2019:  22:00:57

entered my mind since I had those shock treatments last year.

Actually, I usually have a vacant mind

OM45GE - Posted - 05/24/2019:  03:10:06

, sort of like a tube amplifier on standby.

The power is on, but

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/24/2019:  07:38:58

But the sticker that says ‘standby’, is missing.

As scientists probe the depths of chucks cosmos like mind, they

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/24/2019:  08:50:08

lose touch with reality.

Their synapses seem to un-synap

OM45GE - Posted - 05/24/2019:  13:32:17

and the neurons have to call each other long distance.

Worse yet, they don't even

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/24/2019:  17:11:35

Have cell phone connection.

Resorting to an old crank wall phone, they suddenly

OM45GE - Posted - 05/25/2019:  04:03:27

realized that they weren’t up to the task and left for a vacation in Tahiti.

Once all thinking stopped,

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/25/2019:  08:48:00

a beautiful peace came over the world.

Greed became non-existent

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/25/2019:  09:42:13

Lemons lost their sour....

There was no stopping the

OM45GE - Posted - 05/25/2019:  18:20:18

good feelings which left even grumpy old men smiling.

It’s possible that they

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/25/2019:  18:21:49

we’re just passing some gas that had given them stomach cramps.

Nevertheless, our parrot

OM45GE - Posted - 05/25/2019:  18:45:48

keeps blathering on about short selling Tesla stock.

He thinks he’s so

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 05/26/2019:  07:42:10

Tall, But he does break the 2 foot mark.

Having a bird with a mouth that big is

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/26/2019:  08:17:20

great when I take him with me to watch the Yankees play.

His piercing voice
