Five Star Friday: Lucky Edition #13

It is very hot. I can't even come up with a better descriptive word other than "very".

I saw this movie when I was a kid that took place during the Vietnam war, and one of the soldiers exclaimed about how hot and wet it was, and all the others started talking dirty about women, so now every time someone says how hot it is, I think of this soldier holding a metal helmet in his hands and talking dirty.

We don't have air conditioning. That's my excuse. My brain is heat-befuddled.

Happy Friday!

Thanks for this. I know someone else put me up here but there'd be no HERE if you didn't do this. thanks!

Thank you for featuring my "Dead are better than yours" story. Had I known that walking around cemeteries would bring me internet recognition, fame and fortune (well, I might be jumping the gun as far as the fame and fortune bits), I would have started a lot sooner!
Please send my love to whoever "nominated" me.
Cool blog!

Awwe. Twice, now, I'm here. Thank you from a cranky old blogger. This is a hoot. Hug to you all.

Wow. I came here to thank you for linking to me, but instead of commenting I keep getting lost in all the great links.
Thanks!
