My 1st Doctor Who Episode

   "Put these electroencephalogram mind wave blockers on the side of your necks," the Doctor tells her new companions. "We just landed on the Planet Melodious."

   Ryan, Yaz, and Graham look to each other, a little bit confused, but they do as the Doctor tells them.

   "Whatever you do, do not take off or loose your blockers," Doctor Who says emphatically. "The planet Melodious has a will of its own and is famous for controlling the minds of any race foolish enough to land on its surface."

   The group of companions look at each other. Wondering what the Doctor has gotten them into this time.  

   Graham, the elder statesman of the group, decides he should be the one to ask the first question.

   "Doc, if this planet Melodious can control minds, tell us why we are landing on it again?"

   "Well," the Doctor starts to say, looking up into the air, thinking what she will say next.

   A big smile crosses her face and she says to the group, "Because I have never been here before."

   After the Tardis lands, the Doctor runs to the door and sticks her head outside for a peak.
   "Come on then. Nothing to worry about as long as we keep our blockers on," she tells everyone.

   The group of companions look to each other, shake their shoulders up and down one at a time while looking at each other, then head to the door.

   Yaz is the next one to come out of the Tardis, after the Doctor and asks her, "What will happen if we loose our mind wave blockers?"

   "See those creatures over there, wiggling back and forth," she answers, as she points to three strangely form oval blobs jiggling like lumps of jello. "Those are the Gelatins. An advance race of interstellar travelers. And rumor has it, they have been here, on this planet, for a thousand of your Earth years, doing the Melodious Dance Ritual."

   "Dance Ritual?" Graham asks as he is the next companion to come out of the Tardis.

   "The planet Melodious loves to hear music," the Doctor explains. "Once a creature lands on its surface, Melodious scans the creature's mind for the kind of music it likes to listen to. Then the planet puts the creature's favorite songs in a continuous loop inside its brain, where the creature can think of nothing else until it dies."

   Then Ryan comes stumbling out of the Tardis, falls flat onto his face, and his mind wave blocker falls off.

   Instantly, before Ryan can even move, a song pops up in his head and all he can hear or do, is listen to his favorite tunes over and over again.

    "Oh this is bad, this is very bad," says the Doctor. "Ryan is in a song loop."
    "What can we do?" Asks a frighten Yaz.
   The Doctor takes out her sonic screwdriver and scans Ryan.
   "Oh this is worst than I thought." The Doctor tells the other two companions. "It turns out, Ryan likes electric disco pop songs and those songs are just as evil mind controllers as the planet Melodious is. Those songs will never let go of a person's mind even with the blockers!"

   "Get him back into the Tardis," screams the Doctor. "Maybe if we fly off this world, the connection with Melodious will be severed."

   The Doctor takes no chances and sets the Tardis controls for a Spacetime earlier then their landing on the musical mind controlling planet.

   They materialize on Earth just a few minutes after they took off originally. Then everyone looks to Ryan who was face down on the Tardis' floor.

   "What am I doing down here?" Ryan asks. "Did the Doc have one of her ruff takeoffs again?"

   The Doctor, Yaz, and Graham all laugh at Ryan, but its a laugh of relief that there friend is alright.
   But wait.

   After Ryan stands up, looking a little embarrassed, he starts to sing, "I crashed my car into the bridge! I don't care, I love it! I don't care!"
   He begins the strangest kind of dancing any earthling has ever seen.
   "Is he all right?" Graham asks the Doctor.
   "Let me think, let me think," says the Doctor as she spins around in place, looking inside the Tardis for anything that might help her.
   Yaz has an idea and tells the Doctor, "Why don't we drown out the music loop inside of Ryan's brain by playing a song which has more bite to it. Playing it as loud as we can."
   The Doctor stops spinning perfectly in front of Yaz and says, "Brilliant!" On the center console, Doctor Who starts pushes a few buttons, pulls on a few leavers, and a classic rock n' roll song blasts throughout the Tardis.

   Ryan stops his awkward dancing, shakes his head a couple of times and asks, "What happen? Why am I so tired?"

   Graham comes over to Ryan, puts his arm around him, and asks, "What did do with the money your Grandma gave you for dance lesson?"

   Everyone laughed except for Ryan who looked completely baffled.

Try Listening For Once

This
Re-Post
is from
October 1st, 2015
called
Listening.
Everyone from my
Wife,
Kids,
and assorted
Relatives,
have told me I have gone back to my old ways.
So,
as a reminder to myself,
I went back
and
Re-Posted
this story to help me from being annoying!

*****
I haven't always been like this.

I used to be a good listener.

I could listen to a song by a rock band,

say
Dashboard Confessional,

and I could tell you what key they were in,

how many guitars were being overdubbed to create the song,

and what chords were being played.

In my

"Middle Ages,"

the period of my life between

35 and 55 years old,

when I finally figure out how to talk

and listen to people properly,

I became a

"Salesman."

Making a pretty good living for my family

and I.

My problem today is,

it took only about one year to forget how to listen to people properly!

Now,
I want people to listen to me,

hearing what I have to say.

When someone speaks,

I always seem to anticipate what they are going to say

or what they are talking about before they finish

and interrupt.

If you know someone like this,

you know how annoying they can be.

This is what I have become,

that person.

I blame a number of changes in my life for losing the skill of

"Attentive Listening."

If I had to pick one major reason why I lost the skill,

it would have to be impatience.

I am no longer patient with people when I would rather be doing something else,

like reading,

taking my nightly walks,

working on a new story,

or writing on my
Blog.

In life,

you must be able to take

"Constructive Criticism"

from the people you trust

and learn to grow as a human being.

This will bring happiness in your life when you work on the flaws you feel you have

and improve on them.

So,

starting today,

right after I'm bailed out of
Jail
for not getting out of my car

and assuming the position when the the
Sheriff
told me to,

I am going to relearn the skill of,

"Attentive Listening."

Because,
I am definitely sure,
that the
Judge
will not look too kindly on me during the
Arraignment,
when he asks me a question

and I say,

"What?"

This is,

I Do Have This Flaw,
But I Did Not Get Arrested,
I Am Just Trying To Be Funny,

Jim Hauenstein,

“We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.”

If you are a

type of person,

and you live in the right part of the country,

you just got very lucky.

Tyler Perry, Kid Rock pay off holiday layaway bills for strangers.

By Karen Butler for UPI.com/

Filmmaker Tyler Perry and musician Kid Rock paid off hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Walmart layaway bills to help strangers have a happier holiday season. "I was trying to do this anonymously but due to some circumstances, y'all know nothing stays secret these days," Perry said in a Twitter video, giving the addresses of two Georgia Walmart stores where he paid off the bills. "I know it's hard times. A lot of people are struggling. I'm just really, really grateful to be able to be in a position to do this. God bless you. Go get your stuff. Merry Christmas," Perry said. I was trying to do this anonymously but oh well!!! pic.twitter.com/T0dhRHyU66— Tyler Perry (@tylerperry) December 6, 2018 "@tylerperry Great idea! I followed your lead and paid off the layaway at my local Walmart in Nashville. Merry Christmas and God Bless You!" Kid Rock tweeted. "Today, our store got a call from Kid Rock saying that he wanted to pay off all of our customers' remaining layaway balances! His gift is bringing incredible joy to about 350 families in Nashville and we're happy our store could be a part of it. #skylineproud #KidRockrocks," the Dickerson Pike Walmart wrote on its Facebook page. The Wrap reported Perry paid more than $430,000 to clear the accounts in two stores, while WBIR-10 News said Kid Rock paid $81,000 to help out the customers of another store. @tylerperry Great idea!

Was I Funny Yesterday?

Yesterday,

instead of my usual

Humorous Friday Post,

I wrote the story

Cannabis Vodka Anyone?

I thought it would be funny to learn how

Global Companies

are now finally scrambling to get into the

Marijuana Trade.

They are buying into already established

Cannabis Growers

from around the

World

because in the

United States,

Marijuana

is still considered a

Class 1 Drug

by the

Federal Government

even though almost every

State Of The Union

has decriminalized it.

So businesses here have to go to other countries to get a piece of the action.

I do not condone the use of any drug,

even though,

when I was younger,

I took part in smoking

Weed & Cigarettes,

and

Drank Alcohol & Coffee.

Now it is

Energy Drinks

and

Chocolate.

Yes,

you know you can get addicted to

Chocolate.

I no longer do most of these drugs,

but I am sticking with the

Energy Drinks

and

Chocolate.

Right now,

I just wish I could think of something funny to say about

Marijuana.

Oh wait.

How do you know you are a true stoner?

When your bong gets washed more than your dishes!

Police Officer: "How high are you?"

Pothead: "No officer, it's "Hi, How are you?"

Did you hear about the kid that overdosed on weed?

Neither did I.

If the whole world smoked a joint at the same time,

there would be world peace for at least two hours.

Followed by a global food shortage.

Cannabis Vodka Anyone?

I have been wondering when this would happen.

It seems,
the only way for
Tobacco Industry
to stay afloat they need to invest in
Cannabis!

The maker of Marlboro cigarettes is plowing $1.8 billion into the cannabis producer Cronos

By Ethel Jiang for Businessinsider.com 

Altria, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes announced Friday it intends to invest 2.4 billion Canadian dollars ($1.8 billion) into the cannabis producer Cronos. Altria's efforts to enter the cannabis space "coincided with a rising interest among the major tobacco companies to explore the cannabis opportunity in the U.S.," Vivien Azer, a Cowen analyst recently said. "We have asserted since 2016 that cannabis would be a synergistic incremental growth driver for the tobacco industry given the opportunity to leverage IP around heat-not-burn and vapor technology."

My favorite part of this whole story?

But it's not just tobacco companies that are rushing into cannabis. Beverage makers have also been entering the industry. In August, Constellation Brands, the beverage maker behind Corona beer and Svedka vodka, announced a $4 billion investment in the Canadian cannabis producer Canopy Growth, giving it a 38% stake once the deal is complete. And in September, Coca-Cola reportedly held talks with Aurora Cannabis to develop beverages infused with CBD, one of the nonpsychoactive compounds found in cannabis.

That is right

Boys & Girls.

We will soon have

Cannabis 

in our

Beer,

Vodka,

and our

Coca Cola!

Why couldn't we have had this during the

1970s

and

1980s

when I still smoked?

I haven't had a puff for over

Twenty Years!

I can foresee a time when the once

Cigarette Machines

that were in the lobby of every

Gas Station

now become

Marijuana Dispensaries!

This is,

Remember,

It Is Still Against The Law To Smoke

And Get Behind The Wheel Of A Motor Vehicle,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.”
- Carl Sagan -
