Yup, still raining around here. Rain has been in the forecast everyday now since last Tuesday. We were threatened with up to 6 inches total accumulation last week but thankfully only saw about 2.5 to 3 inches.

Now rain is in our forecast, or at least the threat of it every day right through Memorial Day. I’m starting to suspect this isn’t Texas and the Gulf Coast at all but that somehow while I was sleeping at some point I was transported the the Pacific Northwest and Seattle.

I’m beginning to fear that these dark green blotches on my already normally green skin are in fact patches of moss or mold growing on me!

So before all this rain turns me into the Swamp Thing, the Creature From the Black Lagoon or freaking Moss Man, let’s get this show on the road as I still have work to be done on the Memorial Day issue for Saturday.

Creedence Clearwater Revival (live) – Who´ll stop the rain

Impish was at the bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking at the bar.
Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so he approached and asked, “Hello, are you three lassies from Scotland ?”
One of them angrily screeched, “It’s Wales, Wales you bloody idiot!”
So he apologized and replied, “I am so sorry.  Are you three whales from Scotland ?”
And that’s the last thing he could remember.

I think the Ninja cats have watched one too many Super Hero movies with Impish’s daughter. They’re demanding their own “Catmobile” now and this is what they came up with:

Lonnie Johnson – Falling Rain Blues

Just in time for the holiday weekend this delicious adult beverage will go down refreshingly smooth all summer long and have you feeling no pain at all! What could be better than that?

Pain Killer

If you need to numb the pain, the Pain Killer is just what the doctor ordered. It was originally concocted at the legendary Soggy Dollar Bar in the Sandcastle Hotel, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands. Technically you can’t make one unless you’re using Pusser’s Navy Rum. Pusser’s is a delightful rum based on the rum used by the British Navy until July 31, 1970.

Pain Killer

4 oz. rum (preferably Pusser’s)
4 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Coconut Cream
1 oz. Orange Juice
8 oz. Crushed Ice

Mix all ingredients in a blender and blend for approximately 3 seconds. Serve in a tiki mug or double rocks glass and dust with nutmeg, cinnamon, or both.

From our ‘Everything is Bigger in Texas“Department- It was thought a small alligator had managed to find its way into Lake Conroe recently or that one of the alligator gar known the inhabit the swampy end  of the lake had grown too large and was venturing out in search of dinner. Reports of small dogs being missing, half eaten raccoons and squirrels being found on lawns as well as small water fowl suddenly being dragged under and never being seen again lasted about to weeks until this roughly 50 pound snapping turtle was spotted and captured. This was no easy feat either since he chewed his way though the volleyball net originally used to snare him before they got him to shore.

Impish said the things attitude reminded him of one of his ex-wives.

Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis) – ThePianoGuys

Speaking of Impish, he is a big fan of The Piano Guys so this new one is for him. Enjoy buddy!

I say it’s a phoenix, Impish says it’s a dragon.  Regardless its pretty darn cool looking you’ve got to admit.

Keep your eyes on the two glowing dots that appear below the tail hanging off the ledge.

Have You Ever Seen the Rain? – John Fogerty

You can’t tell I have rain on my mind can you?

Hey I’d love to hang around and continue to watch you guys laugh coffee out your noses when you see things in the issue but I’ve got only 2 more days to finish the Memorial Day issue and its only about 75 or 80% done so I’m outta here. Catch you Saturday bright and early.
