ICEMAN was once a Jewel Tea salesman, who had the same route that I did as a Fuller Brush salesman. I must admit that many of those housewives told me, when I rang their doorbell, "Sorry Cloudy, ICEMAN has already been here, and I am totally satisfied for now. Try again tomorrow..."

p.s. ICEMAN, I wish you would have given Liljol a chance to reply to my post, which I hoped would get him over here. I say let's give him a pass, so he can explain his relationship with Leo Tolstoy, without having to be concerned that it is not immediately above him.

Too bad Cloudy did not have a Louisville Slugger to beat up the Ice Man...

Cloudy is moving to Moscow to train with the Bolshoi Ballet. He is going to look adorable in a pink tutu...

TEVERETT tried out for the Bolshoi also. Sadly, they were not impressed with the breakdancing routine she preformed for them that night.

....................................................

It is so sad that TEVERETT didn't accept my offer to loan her my pink tutu for her tryout. She was too stubborn and proud to accept any help from me. A change of costume probably would have done it for her, but she had to do it her way. So now she is back in Cincinatti, instead of touring the world with the Bolshoi.

p.s. TEVERETT is a pretty good breakdancer. Every once in a while, if you catch her on a good night, she will go through her breakdancing routine between Buzztime games. Believe me, it is a sight to behold...!

................................................................. Goodnight I'm going to bed.

TEVERETT has led many a man astray with her breakdancing routine. Yes, some years ago, after watching her spinning around the bar room floor, she coaxed me into trying to spin around the floor with her. At my advanced age, I should have known that there was no way I could keep up with her, but foolishly, I accepted her invitation. I spun into a table, bringing it crashing down on me. Three broken ribs are very painful, and take a long time to heal. I will NEVER breakdance with TEVERETT again. My advice to the rest of you guys is that no matter how many brewskis you've had, if you are over 30, just watch the show, and don't try breakdancing with TEVERETT.

How did you know...? I'm guessing that was you in the room next to me making all that noise last night? What a coincidence it was that we wound up at the same Holiday Inn Express hotel in adjacent rooms on the same night.

How did you like the free breakfast the Holiday Inn provided in the morning?

..................................................................

............................................................... Wasn't it great...? I went through the line three times.

..................................................................

................................................ Good night I'm going to bed, and waiting for a free breakfast in the morning.

Son of a bitch, there is only one way you could know this stuff. ICEMAN, I'm thinking that you must have been one of the extraterrestrials that abducted the Hills and me that night. Actually, I think you and the rest of your alien friends must have been into mushrooms that night in New Hampshire in September of 1961. You guys selected possibly the worst earthlings to abduct immaginable.

Is this what you really look like...? Barney drew this picture of you.



Betty confided in me that the alien, who stuck the long needle into her stomach, said he was "Eyesmon". Is that your real extraterrestrial name?



...........................................................................

............................... After I call into the "Coast to Coast" radio show tonight, and tell them what I have found out, I'm going to bed. Good night.

It's been too long again without someone posting a baseless lie about the person above them on this thread. Therefore, I will once again violate ICEMAN's rules to get this thread moving along again. I will endure whatever terrible, tortureous penalties ICEMAN will inflict on me once again for the greater good of all mankind.

TEVERET sent me a private message with this baseless lie. She asked me to post it for her, because she was afraid that Liljol might ban her for leaving him out. Here is TEVERET's baseless lie:

"ICEMAN, FrankC, and PENGWN were the original Three Men in a Tub."

Yep, I can't figure this one out either, but that's TEVERET for you, rub-a-dub-dub...

Poughkeepsie...? Are talking about the date a once had with some Vassar gal, who was either one of the Hunt's or Heinz Foods heirs. I can't remember which one it was. All I can recall is that (forgetting her net worth) she was one of the worst blind dates I ever had. Yeah, my feet might have been an important factor that night, because after she told me that she didn't want to dance for about the third or fourth time, I asked a good looking chick to dance, and started to have a good time. My fraternity brother, who set the thing up and drove us down there, came over to me and said if I didn't get back to her, I would have to walk back to Colgate. So I picked up my feet and went back over to her instead of picking up my feet on the dance floor, or worse yet picking them up walking the 250 miles back to Hamilton, NY. (True story.)

Now for an untrue story.

I later found out that Nancy Hunt (Heinz?) and her steady boyfriend were having a spat, and that is why I got the date with her. Who was the boyfriend she was thinking about that night...? You guessed it... It was none other than our own ICEMAN. My good friend, I have to ask you if she was more fun, when she was with you?

p.s. ICEMAN, that was a long time ago. I think her first name was Nancy. Is that right? Was she a Hunt or a Heinz?

I am still dizzified by the link to the strange video you gave us. Was it a moving stereogram, or a computer game, where you had to find the differences between the pictures on the right and the ones on the left? Whatever it was supposed to mean, I am either too old or too ignorant to figure it out.

...............................................................................................

.......................................................................... "Fido, this is moving much too fast for my stereoscope to keep up with."

How wrong you are...! If I was still a Senior Financial Consultant with Merrill Lynch, and saw the Hostess bankruptcy coming, I wouldn't have bought any Twinkies or SnoBalls. I would have told my clients to short the stock. Actually, I did in my own account, and made over $300,000,000 by leveraging it, and by using puts as well.

Gotta slip my baseless lie in here, so here it is:

I told ICEMAN to do this too, but he laughed at me, tripled up on his long Hostess postion, and bought a lot of calls on the stock. He told me that I was a fool, because for sure there would be a government bailout for the company, and he was going to make millions.

p.s. I will predict that Hostess will arise from bankruptcy, or be bought out, and grocery stores will still be stocked with Twinkies and all the other stuff they sell, but the old shareholders will have lost everything, and the workers won't like the new deal they have to accept, if they want to keep their jobs.

Cloudy has webbed toes on his second & third toes of each foot. Surprisingly, this disqualified him from entering the Seals. Subsequently he became a Marine aviator because the Marines don't care that he also has webbed armpits (I guess they figured he could fly better).

Actually, one of my brother's toes are webbed between the second and third toes on each of his feet. (No joke.) I am amazed that you came up with such a nutty, obscure baseless lie that wasn't all that far off of being the truth.

Now it's baseless lie time again...

After ICEMAN realized that he had screwed up investing (gambling) thousands of dollars in highly leveraged Hostess stock and call options, he thought he could recoup some of his losses by hoarding Ding Dongs, Twinkies, Ho Hos, Suzy Q's, Sno Balls, and a few more to sell on eBay for big profits. He spent two days driving to every grocery store he could reach on a tank of gas, buying up all of the Hostess treats that he could find on their shelves. He even bought a couple freezers to store them in. This was yet again another financial blunder, as he has already eaten every one of them.

However, eating them was probably the right way to go, because they would never have become valuable collectibles, as the people, who will soon buy the bankrupt Hostess Company out, will start pumping all of those delicious treats out, if not in time for Christmas stocking stuffers, certainly in time for Easter baskets.

Though it is well know that I make all sorts of stupid, silly stuff up, when I say "Not joking", I'm NOT JOKING...!

Anyway, I'll look Dan Aykroyd up, to see what he has to do with webbed toes.

Once again we are back to posting baseless lies about the person above you...

I'm not going to get into that ICEMAN always orders vanilla ice cream, when he goes into Baskin-Robbins. That has already been discussed on this thread. Even though ICEMAN made up what he thinks is my favorite flavor of ice cream, and I have never eaten it, it sounds pretty scrumptious to me, and I might just have to give it a try.

ICEMAN dressed as a woman to get into a lifeboat to escape the icy waters of the North Atlantic as the Titanic went down.

p.s. ICEMAN you didn't have to do that to survive. You should have come down to one of the Titanic's kitchens with me, and I would have shown you how you could survive the sinking like a man, the same way I did on the late night and early morning of April 14th-15th 1912.

p.p.s. My baseless lie about you is absolute bull hockey, but my way to survive the sinking is not. My good friend, Ralph Hall (Buzztime handle WATSON.) also came up with the same idea of how not die of hypothermia, when tossed into the icy waters of the North Atlantic. (I will gladly share this way to avoid death from hypothermia with anyone, who asks me.)

I saw Cloudy in the Walt Disney World Electric Light Parade this week playing the role of Grumpy in the parade. I could tell by the way he shook his tailfeathers.

Before I tattle on TEVERETT, I must point out that she is absolutely wrong about me playing the role of Grumpy. There is only one person here, who could have pulled that off, and I think everyone knows, who that is... TEVERETT, do I have to spell it out for you...?

L .....i ..... l ..... j ..... o ..... l

(I should also add that this occurred at Disney Land, Not Disney World.)

Okay, now that I'm done with that, here's an embarrassing tidbit about TEVERETT.

After TEVERETT learned that Hostess was shutting down, she drove to all of the grocery and convience stores in the Cincinatti area searching for Twinkies. Alas, she came up empty. When she realized that none were to be had, she went on eBay, and bought a package of Twinkies for $200,000.01. (She added the one cent to beat ICEMAN out on the auction.)

They were too tempting for her to just let them sitting there on her kitchen table, so she gobbled one down. She did put the sole survivor in a Zip Lock freezer bag, and unless temptation got the better of her again, it should still be sitting in the back of her freezer.

Cloudy I hate Twinkies with a passion.

Yep, they were, and Avon stole "ding-dong" from me.

TEVERET won Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest three years in a row.

When did Liljol turn against the Red Sox and why...?

Liljol was a big Red Sox fan for most of his life. As a kid, his favorite baseball players were two California boys, Ted Williams and Dom DiMaggio.

It was just a few years ago that Liljol found out that his beloved Red Sox had sold Babe Ruth to the hated Yankees back in 1919. (How he could never have known this before, is beyond me.) For months afterward Liljol would wake up in the middle of the night, screaming, "How could my Sox have been so stupid to do that?" His nightmares about this were unbelievably frightening. This agony began to haunt his daily life, and effect his work. As he began to realize that all the pain he had suffered for so many years rooting for the Red Sox, was because of that ridiculously stupid sale of The Babe, his sorrow turned to anger. After burning all of his Boston Red Sox baseball cards one night, he decided that he needed help.

He went through months of psychotherapy, and finally came to the realization that dumping the Red Sox, because of all the heartbreak they had caused him, was the only way to go, and get his life back.
