Bobservations

Since Carlos’ eyesight has gotten worse I have taken over the banking and paying bills and such. The other morning I was going to drop him off at court for a translation and then head to the cabinet make and give them a downpayment for our new kitchen and said to Carlos:

“I transferred $10,000 from savings t checking this morning—”

“TEN THOUSAND!!! For what?”

“For what? The first payment for the new cabinets, or maybe for my trip to the Bahamas—”

“You’re going to the Bahamas?”

See what I deal with?

This Tuxedo Says is from April 2021:

 I mean, come on. Tuxedo can’t even vote or fire a gun and he understands this nonsense. Sheesh!

Robert Redford passed away this week at 89; a great actor, filmmaker and humanitarian, he’s like the last movie star … Barefoot in the Park … Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid … The Sting … All the President’s Men … The Candidate … The Way We Were …. Ordinary People .. The Natural … The Milagros Beanfield War … Quiz Show … and so many more, including producing a great TV show, Dark Winds. His movies often helped explain America to Americans and off screen he worked tirelessly for environmental causes and fostered the Sundance-centered independent film movement.

And he was hot, too.

I have been tasked with painting the new ceiling in the sunroom and started the project last Friday. On Saturday I was going to finish the primer coat and then start on the new color but I decided to change the sheets on the bed first. I grabbed a sheet, walked around the bed and then jammed my pinky toe against a bedpost and, yes, I now have a broken toe … black-and-blue and painful AF.

Sunday morning as I limped into the kitchen Carlos said:

“You gonna paint the ceiling today or should I have Alex come by and do it?”

Not a word about the toe, just the paint, and would I like to climb up a ladder and paint the top of the peak which is about 14 feet up.

He’s lucky I didn’t break his toe.

According to the GOP who are painting themselves as the poster asshats for civil discourse the Democrats must stop calling Republicans fascists but Republicans can still call Democrats communists, socialists, the enemy within, radical left Marxists …

Make it make sense. Never mind, it's the GOP, and they don't make sense.

Jennifer Lopez popped on a blond wig and, in her continuing thirst for attention, spewed photos of herself all over social media. Sadly, many of the people who saw the photos on her Instagram page were wondering why she was posting photos of Gwen Stefani.

Oh, Jell-O—as Carlos calls her—you are so high maintenance and thirty for social media clicks that you actually had someone hold the camera for the “selfies” you posted.

PS That’s the real G-Stef down there and not Jell-O.

The other day President Cankles said, and rightly so, that “smart people” don’t like him.

Crazy, but true and even better is the fact that he keeps insulting his base as being stupid and it’s completely lost on them.

As I was at the cabinet-makers on Monday paying the down payment, I sat and chatted with a couple of the women who worked in the front office and I am not exactly sure of all that I said, but both women have invited me back every Monday morning for another comedy performance so their week can start off fun.

Andreas Giesen is an actor and dancer and social media influencer and if that isn’t enough he wants to know: Would You Hit It?

  1. Oh that is a real boost! I must be smart because I do not like #47. In fact, I despise him so does that make me extra smart?

  3. Is Carlos' hearing failing as well as his eyesight? 🤣😂

    1. Actually it is; he has retinitis pigmentosa which causes his eyes to fail but it also brings Usher's Syndrome which affects the hearing.

    😠 Harumph! Kamala Harris' new book is revealing a ton of what was happening behind the scenes when the run for President was withheld from her for too long and then dumped on her suddenly...not exactly a recipe for success from Uncle Joe!
    😲 Harris also reveals that she wanted Pete Buttigieg as her running mate. I love Tim Walz and I don't see negatives with him as the VP pick, yet I would have enjoyed the hell out of a Harris/Buttigieg ticket! Maybe Harris is right that the country wasn't ready for a Black/white/Jewish married couple and a gay married couple ticket all at once. But we do know that overthinking Dem decisions hasn't helped us when the opponent has no such thinking style! And now, our chance to carefully consider our Dem voting choices may not exist at all!! 🇺🇸😳🤬
    😻 On the other hand, Tuxedo Rocks because he knows how our right to vote is in trouble! 🙀😻🤘

  6. Pretty boys come and go, but the handsomeness of Redford is immortal. Now you know why I usually wear slippers, bed posts and dog toys. And Andreas is a contender.

  8. That may well be only the second true thing that Orange Shitgibbon has said in 15 years - the first being the reason he ran as a Republican - because they're dumb and believe anything he tells them.
    Redford did a lot for film and theatre through Sundance - the Theatre Lab helped develop stage plays. A true gentleman.

    Now THAT is a dreamy man. And that's how you wanna go: with people lamenting you have passed. He'll be missed.

    Tuxedo knows, he has their number !
    It’s been many decades that the GOP has called Democrats communists, and then the GOP gets upset when they’re called fascists. Upset because they know it’s true. And now their regime has had their hacks at the FCC get Jimmy Kimmel fired at ABC. Act like fascists expect to be called fascists.

  13. Carlos:San Geraldo. No difference.
    Tuxedo makes too much sense.
    I, too, thought it was Gwen Stefani.
    Bob Slatten is a catchy name for a stand-up comic.
    Ouch for the toe. Tell Carlos to call Alex and pay him to make the bed, too.

    1. Carlos slays me and Tuxedo educates me, still.
      Poor Jell-O.
      I need to hone my act so I may start slowly and play the plumbing circuit first!
      The toe is thankfully feeling better and I may be back on the ladder this weekend.

  14. I would gladly take Jell-O's quest for attention over the orange lard ass. Take care of yourself, Bob. You don't realize how important that toe is until you hurt it. And I am glad you have some new friends at the cabinet makers.

    1. Can I pass on both Jell-O and Cankles, please???
      I think the cabinet makers will be the start of a new career in comedy. I'll play all the homebuilder conventions throughout the state!

  16. Tuxedo was a cat ahead of the times. He certainly had this current regime figured out.
    Sorry you broke your toe. You will now find the f*cker will break every time you stub it or at least that's been my experience.
    Carlos certainly knows how to push your buttons. It might be annoying but it is fun to hear about. :)

  20. You don't hold a paint brush with your toe. You are malingering.
    Best not to encourage me to avoid injury by not changing sheets.
    Redford could look incredibly handsome at times, but not always. Some of his 'looks' didn't work for me. I pleased to learn about his social responsibility during his life.

    1. But when I am painting I am standing on a ladder to paint a ceiling at sixteen feet high so that's not good for the toe.

  23. I'm late today!!!!! I once read an interview with Redford where he said when he filmed The Way We Were, he was very uptight and not comfortable with bed scenes with Barbara Streisand. A couple times she would start rubbing his leg, and start getting touchy, and such waiting for the scene to film. I laughed because he said he wore like three pairs of underwear so she wouldn't have to feel anything, I'm sure, to her dismay.

  24. $ten thousand is a down payment? Clearly I am out of touch with kitchen costs. And again Tuxedo is SO right.
