I'll Take Famous Tom's for 100 . . .

This morning I was challenged to come up with a fast blog about Things named "Tom" Obviously the person in question does not know me as well or they would have been more specific, to slow down my brain. So here we go . . .



Tom date: 02/01/2010 10:15 A.M.


I could start off by miss-quoting Bill Shakespeare's quote from Romeo and Juliet . . . Would a Tom by any other name sound so sweet?, Incidentally Shakespeare's folks would have named him Tom, but they had a premonition of a story about an Uncle Tom and his Cabin. I could also start by mangling a quote by Astronaut and Luna foot print artist extraordinaire Neil Armstrong . . . That's one small step for blogers and one giant trip-up for Tom-kind. Instead I will take the high ground on this and just jump right in on the subject of Famous Tom's.


Tom Turkey who is delicious when fried, Tommy Edison who's shocking invention both brought light and a monthly utility bill to the electrically challenged. There was T.S. Elliot who had some interesting and poetic scribbling for the masses, (PSssst. the "T" stands for Tom).


How about Tom Selleck and his famous mustache, also named Tom, or Tom Bergeron who has been shuffling his Go-Go Boots into our homes for years with Dancing with the stars.


Other famous Tom's: our 3rd President and the keeper of the Two dollar bill, Tom Jefferson. There's Theater's Tommy Tune, The Who's Tommy and music's other Tom, Tom Jones, who is not unusual, Saint Thomas which is a great place to visit and the Patron Saint Of Courage. Scientology's Tom Cruise, News reporter Tom Brokow, Televisions Tom Bosley and let us not forget Tom thumb who was actually all pinkies, not to be confused with football player Tom Brady who at times is all thumbs. There is also 1960's comedian Tommy Smothers who has always marched to the beat of a different drum which brings me to the Tom-Tom an Indian drum. And who can't remember the Tommy-hawk an Indian implement for parting ones hair from their head ( This would be called scalping, but not the ticket kind ).


How about the fact that they call male cats Toms until they have them fix and then call them tamed.


So you see my friend who shall remain nameless (Tom Murphy), I can come up with a fast blog on Tom's and I'm sure I left out a few incase you want Tom's part 2, because when it comes to Tom's I'm no Tom, Dick, or Harry.

P.S. Tom I like My Coffee Large 2 sugars and a splash of Half & Half.

Someone call Godzilla I have a Pterodactyl that needs to be evicted !

Ok WTF I wanted to relax and just glide through the, day catch up on some movies and cook, but the Evil Penguins of Life have set upon a mission to have me attacked... I was sitting at my computer drinking coffee when I was strafed, I am talking "Ghost Rider" buzzing the tower style... some how a bird got in and it decided I was going to be his target until he was free.



He knocked over the coffee on me and the keyboard and now when I type I hear the ocean... LOL


He then proceeded to crap on my chair when I tried to free him, someone call Godzilla I have a Pterodactyl that needs to be evicted !


I figure no one would believe me so before I devised any further plan, and wreck man-town east any more I would grab my camera and take a photo of the Giant swooping menace bent on Fitzy domination and concurring Fitzy Man-Town for some sort of North Eastern Bird Sanctuary!


First I set out with a bucket and decided that was bad, because he may bash his beak in and break his neck if I did it to hard and fast (just like sex...) then I had a shirt and thought better of that due to the fact the devil bird would break a wing and shred my shirt with it's giant talons. Then I got the brain storm I opened the Top of the window and tried to heard our trapped winged friend to it. After 10 minutes of trying to move it in the direction of the open window, it flies to it and perches on the window chirps some kind of Bird profanity I am sure and launches into the air to pester someone else's house.


I am missing my favorite pen I bet you that bastard took it with him! Please note that NO BIRDS were harmed in tithe "War of Fitzy-town" however I do have a burn near my family jewels that the coffee caused and I banged my elbow on the couch defending myself from his razor sharp beak and pointy human carrying-away Talons.


Here is the Giant Menace of the winged world as caught on Fitzy-cam
