A Dallas “multimedia artist” named Paul Slocum spent three years of his life paying actors from Craigslist to reenact a 10-second scene from “Full House.”One of the most bizarre things I have ever seen….

I now have a overwhelming desire to  clench my fists and and kill the Olson twins….Read about it here.

We’re thinking ’bout you and praying for you. Get better soon…

Love, the Freaks

They opened up the Rocket Club last night and Helen and i and the neighbors had a great time (no music yet). For a few more grainy shots like this one, go to my flickr account here.  It’s right across the street from the new beer/eatery, The Admiral on Haywood Road, East WestAsheville, the new hoppin’ place!

“I met him once. I shook his hand. He signed a $5 NZ note that I have framed.

Sir Edmund Hillary died today. He was 88. He lived a full and meaningful life. Climbing Everest with Tingzing Norgay was only part of it.

He was a bee keeper. He was a good man.

He will be missed.” quoting bmwloco

Mmmmmm sandwiches…

Elvis Presley’s Grilled Peanut Butter
and Banana Sandwich

• 2 slices of white bread
• 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
• 1 small ripe banana mashed
• 2 tablespoons butter

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the mashed banana on the other. Press the slices gently together. Melt the butter (or to be truly Elvis-like, melt bacon fat!), over low heat in a small frying pan. Place the sandwich in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Eat it with a glass of buttermilk.   (recipe from  The Splendid Table)

 On a personal Kat-note, when I was in college, best-college-boyfriend-ever Danny used to make these for me.  Oh my gawwwwwwwd, they are good.  The word is that Elvis ate up to 15 of these at a time!

You don’t have nearly the same amount of time to kill as I do, 420…

Here’s hoping you get all the toys you want - not just the ones you deserve.

From all us chickens at FreakinAsheville - Merry, Merry, Merry RamaHanuKwanzMas!

I just saw this motorcycle this past weekend at Wheels through Time museum in Maggie Valley. I loved that guy growing up. There was nothing that man could not do….he was a true bad ass. What does it mean when your childhood death defying hero dies…

One of the original 14 copies of the Bill of Rights is going to be on display at UNCA starting Thursday.

Cool!

Let’s see how many people ignore it or even have a clue it’s there or what’s important about it.

I bet we get 2% or less of the number of people who voted.

But - hey, it’s here and it’s history and it’s cool.

“The public is invited to see the Bill of Rights 5-7 p.m. Thursday, 3-7 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. Saturday at UNC Asheville’s Ramsey Library. Admission is free.

A special Liberty and Freedom Festival will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday. This 1700s period festival will lead up to a keynote talk by North Carolina Supreme Court Associate Justice Willis P. Whichard. The festival, on the UNCA Quad, will include period music, dramatic readings, craft demonstrations, reenactments and educational displays“
