Trying to live by
if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all-
the idea that every gangsta of word & stone needs to be lionized here , oft pzzes me off
that creep pebble 'rastler? liked what he wrote about his time in the down under.
About Randomly throwing finger locks into craks between buildings while walking down city streets.
That led to a busted gnuckle, good fun!
and in the same well written so still memorable scree,
he imparted his testicular tuff-ness when his balls got entangled with the tentacles of a Man-o-War.
Claiming "while takin' a swim in loose fitting trunks" ? what was he doing with that jelly fish? Why was his pole not down there doing its job of protecting the soft bits?
He can try to deny it, but I never bought it
he has been, was then, and prolly still is a consummate jerk off.
let us look and compare the great Alex Hanluv and old Cocaroach/flyatracting verminator. . .
seems to be two different spieces one worthy of acclaim the other something you need to wipe off your shoe. . . nice
How hard you pull down is often in direct reverse correlation to the level of humility you possess or ever did, I tell ya all this 'cause it is true.
The pounding of stone, climbing it cordless, is a great thing. Itz practitioners?
nozsomuch & especially now because of the acceptance of vermin.(appolgies to our host who is Brian or Bry or mouse; not the vermin kind tho)

Vermin is from Old French "vermis" and meant snakes & lizards originally.
Given the family name of Bermingham, it's no surprise there was bestowed on Tim the nickname "Worms." So we are used to the abuse but I wear my handle with pride.
Snakes eat mice, mice eat worms, and worms eat everyone eventually. It's all in The Plan.
A splendid topic for your morning cuppa, que no?

a girl I liked in grammar school gave me that name. Don't know why. It didn't stick very long, was changed to Berms. She would never pay any attention to me ever. UNTIL, my long haired, big brother, Mouse, comes after school to pick me up in the black VW bug the family car at that time. Well, after she gets a load of the guy picking me up....all of sudden she starts talking to me asking me who the guy was that picked me up? She was a Doors fan I know that. Also, later on, Brian was doing brodies with the VW at the HS parking lot. He somehow managed to roll it onto it's side. Dad (Boomer) was not happy about that incident as I recall. I think the Rev was with him. Parenting has to be tough. specially with idiot kids like we were.

ha ha! The vagaries of our memories...
It was Rod Whittaker, not the Rev in the VEEDUB. It happened in high school, and I never had long hair in h.s. It was barely combable after a lifetime of buzzcuts. Dad sold that black bug to Larry when he was at DLI in Monterey and it got rolled down a hill by him, I think. He called it Rollin' and a-Tumblin', or RT for short. "RT Whipple," as it became known, was before the one called Downhill Racer.
We have memories that are lucky to jive with others'. For the most part, we have different ones based on our different POVS, states of inebriation, or awareness in general. It's no wonder eyewitnesses are not readily trusted in legal dealings.

Worms are reputed to be some of the finest pinochle players known to the "MIND" (whatever that is) of man.
They come in many differentr shapes and sizes, I am told.
Likewise with pictures of them
