Harry Handy is back on the air (Blogophilia 26.8)

Hey, Heidy and Howdy! It's your old pal, Harry Handy, the randy dandy DJ  here on WOFT, Old Farts Radio, the jumping jukebox for the Geritol generations. We used to say "Don't trust anybody over 30." Now , it's "Everyone is half my age!"

I've been off the air for a while. Got involved a little legal kerfuffle with my second ex concerning running with scissors. It sounded something like this...


Yeah. pretty bad and a sharp object lesson for sure.

And now a word from our sponsor.


Yes, that is Betty White when she was young and sexy. Now, she's old and...old

And so are we.



Remember when our theme song was:




Especially after finally hitting the home run? She insisted on cuddling and watching the stars when all you wanted to do was get something to eat.

Well, we know how that went. But you have to say she turned out to be the spitting image of her mother.

And now your daughter is fighting that same breeze from down under her skirts and the guy reminds you to much of you.

You mother was right.


(It has a good beat and you can dance to it)

Uh, oh.  I hear the lawyers. They are looking to shut me down again. Until next time...

    I'd take a roll back to 30 *sigh* but I guess I'll have to work on the next 30 instead

      I have seen it in the stores. But it is usually on the bottom shelf, away from prying eyes.

      Put some pep in your pop. At least you don't have to go the the large ladies lingerie shoppe where the foundations are fortresses.

    Hahaha....Very good!!! I've never seen Running With Scissors, but seeing the previews looks interesting. The Betty White commercial reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode...

    Great Post!!!

In Honor of Al Jaffee

The image below is probably the most politically incorrect graphic the great comic artist Al Jaffee ever produced. Originally published in a special issue of MAD magazine in 1971, it brought protests for its seeming disrespectful tone. It even launched a brief FBI investigation into possible political subversion.  So, why am I bringing it up? 2 reasons. First, Mr. Jaffee just celebrated his 95th birthday. Second, In all of the turmoil of the Election, it is important that the pledge be for all people. Not just the moneyed elite. More importantly, to weed out infection the poisons of bigotry by all people need to be aired. Burying thoughts and ideas through euphemisms and language discussion allow the opinions to fester. The quote "Just because you silence a man does not mean you convert him" very much applies. Donald Trump has made efforts to silence his critics. His critics have made a double effort to silence. him. And nothing gets done.

The Date (Blogophilia 13.5)

So, here she was at Manuel’s, her usual fifteen minutes early.   A quick glance to make sure the lipstick line was still straight.   Satisfied, the compact disappeared into the leather purse.   Kari hadn’t been this nervous meeting anyone in quite a long time.   But then, it had been at least 20 years since she had been on a blind date.   What will he look like?   All Mary told her was he was a bachelor with a paying job and no kids.    Nothing about how old, or whether he was a slob or a crackhead.   Not even the guy’s name.   Only that she thought Kari would enjoy his company.     Just be at there at 5:30. Sipping on her gimlet, it seemed like she had never left.   The Musak was mostly Sinatra and the political types still hung to their tables like they were still in high school.   Tony, the manager, gave her a peck when he saw her and said she could come back to work any time.   No.   She’d had enough of slinging swill and dealing with the obnoxious, of stepping over the hoo
