Have You Met Laryn? He Will Leave You Speechless!

If you have followed me over the years,

you would have seen a recurrence happening in my life.

I become ill more than I would like.

From my childhood days of having

Thunderclap Headaches,

to my

High School Days

of having

Osgood-Schlatter Disease,

to today where I am dealing with

COPD.

This week was a first for me though,

I came down with

Laryngitis.

Still recovering

and I am extremely tired.

So,

I will have to put on hold this week's

Episode

of

The Man From Mars.

I will continue it next

Thursday

of course

and I believe you will like the new adversary I am going to introduce to battle Ponleak,

The Man From Mars.

 

This is,

Reminding You Early About The Eclipse On Monday

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Why is it that showers and even storms seem to come by chance, so that many people think it quite natural to pray for rain or fine weather, though they would consider it ridiculous to ask for an eclipse by prayer?”
- Henri Poincaré, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Enjoying A Child's Mind On Transformers The Second Time Around

 This true to life story was written on
October 18th, 2014.
I love the innocence
and wonder children have of the World.
What age do we lose those qualities
and become robots to routine? 

****

Two nights ago our electricity went out,
twice during the night,
but it quickly came back on both times.

I saw on the news that a transformer in our downtown area had blown
and the
Electric Company
rerouted power from another direction.
My five year old
Grandson
asked me what had happened
and I said,
"A transformer blew and killed all our lights."
He then asked,
"With no lights, will the Transformer step on us?"

Get it?
The movie
Transformers!

He honestly looked scared until I explained things further.

This is
Papa James Grandpa Hauenstein,

And,

“Freedom is the right of all sentient beings”
- Optimus Prime -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Comment

on them.

One of the most popular

Posts

I have written is called

Oppai Cell Phone Cover.

The

discusses two items being sold in

Japan

back in 2016.

The

Oppai Cover

and the

Noiseless Karaoke Mute Mic.

Both hot items in the

Asian

market.

A new

Review Thai Movies.

And the first movie being reviewed is called

Driver.

It must be good if

Kimlay

recommends it!

In honor of

Kimlay Commenting

on one of my

Posts,

here are three jokes from

Thailand.

Q: อะไรเอ่ย เวลาเรายืนมันห้อย เวลาเราเดินมันแกว่ง?
What is it? When you stand it hangs; when you walk it swings?
A: แขน
Your arm.This is a major theme among the type of joke known as อะไรเอ่ย--jokes with intentional innuendo but an innocuous punchline. The อะไรเอ่ย style joke is as well known in Thai as the "knock-knock joke" in English. And we have plenty of these อะไรเอ่ย-style jokes in English, usually with the structure "What ...", as in, "What's black and white and re(a)d all over?" (A newspaper, a sunburned penguin, etc.) We just don't have a category name for them like we do for knock-knock jokes. And English also has plenty with innuendo, too (but good taste restrains me from retelling them here).

Q: ยายพายเรือไปทำบุญที่วัด ปรากฏว่าเรือรั่วและกำลังจะจม ยายต้องเสียสละทิ้งของ สองอย่างระหว่างปิ่นโตกับดอกไม้ ถามว่ายายจะเสียอะไรจึงจะไปถึงวัด แน่ๆ?
An old woman rows a boat to the temple to make merit. The boat has a leak and is about to capsize. The old woman has to decide between two things to throw overboard: a lunchbox* or a flower. What will the old woman sacrifice to make sure she gets to the temple?
A: เสียชีวิตสิ ถึงวัดแน่นอน
Her life. She'll get to the temple for sure!
The translation here works okay, although to sacrifice your life has a different connotation in English. Thai on the other hand has the common euphemism for die เสียชีวิต, to lose your life. The Thai word for sacrifice is เสียสละ, hence the joke.

Q: พระใช้อะไรตีระฆัง?
What does a monk use to ring the temple bell?
A: ใช้เณร
A novice.
This is a play on ใช้, which means to use, but also to have someone do something for you (it doesn't carry the same inherently negative connotation as English, like, "you used me.") To say ผมใช้เขาไปซื้อของที่ตลาด is to say, roughly, "I sent him to buy things (for me) at the market." So in this case, what does a monk use to ring the temple bell? A novice--one of the young boy monks at the monastery. It's all about delegation.

This is,

Looks Like A Great Place To Take A Vacation,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Having never taken a decent holiday before, I decided on a trip to Thailand, booked a flight and flew out the following week. Mate, I loved it. The friendly people, the food, and the view!”
- Simon Palmer -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

The Man From Mars - Episode Twenty Five

   The Scientific Compound, where Chief of Security Officer Vice President Ponleak set up shop for his Space Program, had buildings which looked other-worldly on Atlantis compared to the rest of the planet.
   His buildings had the look of early Roman texture. Masonry of cut stone blocks, formed to create beautiful efficient structures, instead of the Mars clay plastered, layer upon layer, to form an architecture of molded design.

 

   The use of steel was quite prevalent too. A metal structure was holding up, what looked liked an old United States Saturn 5 Capsule, but without the huge rocket to carry it up into space.
   It looked like it was already prepped and ready for launching.
   The only way I can describe its shape, comparing it to the old Saturn 5 capsules, would be if you had just purchased a new large size shower head. Before you connected to the plumbing.
   It was round, with a flat top. It had a straight, thirty foot part that looked like the screw portion of a shower head that would attach to the plumbing. Then it coned out aggressively, with a slightly curved bottom.
    And even I knew, whatever they used to protect the curved bottom, it would absorb all of the heat caused by hitting the molecules of an exosphere and then descending through the rest of a planet's atmosphere.
   Unlike the the Earth's cone shaped crafts of the early 1960s, which barely fit two astronauts, the Atlantean craft was large enough to fit a small colony. Maybe thirty to thirty five passengers. With enough room for food and provisions to colonize a new planet.

   I knew by looking at it, given this was a reverie from Ponleak past, that the technology used for space flight for this Atlantean space ship was based on magnetism.
   And I knew, from the knowledge that both I and Ponleak now shared through his dreams, that magnetic forces were throughout our solar system.

   All of our planets, in our Sun's system, have magnetic fields during this time, in the solar system's evolution. A time before Mars and Venus lost theirs.
   Before the core of those planets stopped rotating, or to other forces I am not yet privy to.
   Jupiter, of course has the strongest field amongst the planets, but not known until recently to scientist on the planet Earth, the Sun's magnetic field reaches to the edge of our solar system. And unlike what you were taught in school, the solar system does not end with the planets, it extends even further, beyond the Kuiper belt.

   A region in the outer reaches of our solar system, full of disc-shaped icy bodies and dusty comets beyond the orbit of Neptune.

   The Sun's magnetic field protects even these unbelievable far off celestial bodies from galactic cosmic radiation. The heliosphere, as mankind has named it, is the magnetic lines in which the Ponleak spacecraft travels.
    I walk onto my compound, with security guards saluting me every where I go. Security Officer Bopha runs up to me and briefs me on the situation at the building for scientific study, while we walk towards it.
   As soon as we are in sight of the building, one of the hostages is thrown from a fourth floor balcony, and falls to his death. Screams of horrific shock and anger can be heard from the men and women scientist looking on, and from the security guards standing near the fallen victim.
   It seems, hostage taking is something quite new here on Atlantis. The shock of someone actually killing someone else, who is bound by ties and completely defenseless, is appalling to the spectators.
   From the balcony, one Atlantean stands forward, dressed in the uniform of the Board Member's Security Team.
   "Ponleak. You can see we mean business." Says the lone Guard. "We will kill one hostage every Atlantean hour if our demands are not met."
   I spoke in a calm and judicial manner, when I said, "What will you bargain with once you have killed all of the hostages then?"
   He was stunned by my question. Something he and the group he represented, were not expecting.
   He stood there, confused.
   So I spoke up again.
   "I have a different offer. I will let you and your men live if you release the rest of hostages unharmed."
    He retreated behind the rail of the balcony without saying a word. I assume to speak to his compatriots.
    Everyone on the ground watching could hear as a heated argument pursued from the fourth floor balcony.
   The lone Guard was losing his command.

To Be Continued...

Next Thursday.

This is,

Wondering How The Hostage Situation Will Work Out,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“There is a flower that grows on Mars. It is red and harsh and fit for our soil. It is called haemanthus. It means “blood blossom.”

Beetle Spies - The Re-Post

This is a reprint of an
April 26th, 2014
Post
I wrote,
about the
NSA
spying on its own citizens.

*****
I was wondering why this beetle kept flying around my head all day.

The beetle had a
World War Two Flying Ace
type of helmet on.

Wires ran out of his head into a little black box on its back.

I believe I saw a little camera on the underbelly of the insect.

One time the bug flew so close to my face,
that I'm sure I saw an
American Flag
stamped on it's butt!

NSA,
stop spying on me!

I'm a
Red Blooded American.

I vote.

I pay taxes.

I do jury duty even though I don't like it.

I know who the
President
is.

I know who the
Governor
in
California.

I know how the
Electoral College
works.

You are systematically working to take away our Civil Rights.

I know this too.

All in the name of fighting
Terrorists.

Well,
there ain't no
Terrorists
here,
living in my home.

I love this country,
even when it is trending down the wrong track.

Like when a
Government
spies on its own citizens.

Democracy
is based on the individual having his
or her own voice on what they believe in.

Then,
if the majority has the same consensuses,
that is the direction the
Country
should go in.

Now you guys,
a minority,
feel that you know what is best for everyone else in this Country,
the majority.

You are destroying the
Democratic System
that made the
United States
the land of the free!

Why everyone is trying to migrate to this
Country
in the first place.

Wake up
and smell the espionage!

You are no longer the
Good Guys.

You're making this
Government
into another
Communist,
Fascist,
Nazi,
Dictatorship,
Totalitarian,
Marxist,
North Korean,
based system that can only end in disaster.

Don't get me wrong.
The
Revolution
will fail
and you guys will win in the end.

You've got all the good guns!
But,
maybe it will lead us back into the direction of
The Land Of The Free!

 

This is,
Telling You The Military Does Have Insect Spies,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“A murderer is less loathsome to us than a spy. The murderer may have acted on a sudden mad impulse; he may be penitent and amend; but a spy is always a spy, night and day, in bed, at table, as he walks abroad; his vileness pervades every moment of his life”
- Honoré de Balzac -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
