And the Question Is.....

This was one of my favorite Johnny Carson characters. It never failed to make me guffaw. Classic.

The man was a genius at what he did. Enough said.

A Salute to Our Troops Overseas

Please remember our military personnel serving overseas who won't be observing Easter at home with their families.

God bless our troops!

God Bless Our Troops! They Help Bad Guys Go Adios

OK, Fellow Patriots, it's time to see the young men and women defending this country kickin' ass and takin' names. I offer no apologies for the obliteration of the soul less scum that our military personnel put on a fast track to an Eternity in the company of Satan. The sooner, the better. Let the Almighty sort the bastards out.

With all that having been said, I proudly present to you members of the United States Military as they send some really bad guys into the Hereafter. Enjoy.

God bless our troops and God bless America.

Beer Bottle Dominoes!

Dominoes tricks are always cool. They require a boat load of practice and experimentation to get them juuuuuust right. but what if the "dominoes" were beer bottles? Round objects instead of square. Would an elaborate beer bottle "dominoes" trick work tom perfection? watch the video to find out the answer.

OK, all you guys out there, practice makes perfect and you've got a lot beer to drink to get that many beer bottles! You should be ready for the trick by Saturday. :)

Burn Your Ass With the Bellamy Brothers!

I haven't heard from the Bellamy Brothers in a long time, but several months ago they released a song called "Jalapenos" that I just learned of.  It's a cute lil diddy that'll bring a smile to your face. It's worth your three minutes. :)

bwahahahahahahahaha!

Watch Wild Animals in Their Natural Surroundings on USTREAM!

Mother and Baby

One of my favorite video sites on the internet is USTREAM . They have every kind of video imaginable. My favorite video category is the "Animal Cams". This part of the site allows you to see videos (many live) of animals of all stripes, including wildlife. I love to see all these wonderful creatures in their native habit so I can observe their behavior.

Right now Bald Eagles, our National Symbol, are readying for their eggs to burst open with their offspring or, in some cases, already feeding and caring for their babies. It's astounding to see this process go forward over time until the eaglets fledge then take off on their first flight. God sure knew what He was doing when He created these magnificent predators who glide in flight like a ballerina in the air and then suddenly swoop down and snag their prey for supper.

Unfortunately, embedding a USTREAM video to the blog is different that embedding a YouTube video, so I am limited to linking to the wildlife page at USTREAM. Follow the link and enjoy your choice of Animal Cam. the variety is amazing. Animal Cams.

The Greatest Mountain - Mount Katahdin

I wanted to share with you one of the most beautiful places in Maine. It's called Mount Katahdin, or the Indians of hundreds of years ago referred to it, The Greatest Mountain. Mount Katahdin (kuh-tah'-din) is just a few feet shy of being a mile high and is the highest point in Maine. The Greatest Mountain is both breath-taking and rugged at the same time, thus adding to its mysterious "personality".

I wrote a post on Mount Katahdin way back in July of last year, before I was made aware of this video, that gives a nice history of the Mountain and the people who revered it. Take a look at the post then view the video and you'll see why so many of yesteryear, as well as today, hold The Greatest Mountain in such awe and with great respect for its beauty, ruggedness and spiritual appeal to the Natives of the area.

I hope you enjoy a look at Mount Katahdin, The Greatest Mountain.

P.S. In the right sidebar of the YouTube Page for Mount Katahdin, there are links to many more videos of The Greatest Mountain taken by every day people like you and me. They are, on the whole, very good vids. Bookmark the page and check them out when you have the time. 

Kid Rock is Kickin' Country Ass

Several years ago I heard a lot about a guy named Kid Rock. My understanding at the time was that he was a white guy who did rap music like Eminem.  I thought so the hell what! Eminem ain't exactly my bottle of beer, so what's the big deal about another white guy rapper. A few years went by and I decided that I'd give Kid Rock a listen (except the rap crap). I did and I loved what I heard. This Kid Rock guy was the real deal. Now, years later, I am a Kid Rock fan. I especially like the stuff he does with Hank Williams, Jr. They are two Rebels cut from the same Confederate flag. My kind of kick ass Country/Rock. Kid Rock has a new duet out with Sheryl Crow called "Collide" and it's badass. Take look and listen. You'll like it.

"A Time for Choosing" - Ronald Reagan, 1964

This is one of the greatest political speeches in History. Ronald Reagan gave it at a Goldwater Campaign Event in 1964. It's a half-hour long, so it may be best for you to bookmark it and come back to it later. I encourage you to watch and listen as the greatest orator of our time explains to you why it's "A Time for Choosing".

YouTube "Chef" Papercuts777

This guy is hilarious! He shows you how to cook his way. And his way is, shall we say, "unique". ***Language Warning*** The guy makes liberal use of the F-bomb, so make sure you are wearing headphones or that the kids are out of the room. If you are at work, you may want to do the same or bookmark this post for later, safer viewing. Still, you gotta check this knothead out. He's flat funny and actually appears to be a pretty damn good cook. Bon apetit!

Bowling for Soup

This is a cool song from a group called Bowling From Soup. Give it a listen!


(hat tip no2liberals from Nuke Gingrich, a very good website. Pay him a visit!)

Ed Bassmaster Passes Odious Gaseous Rectal Emissions in Public

Heather is a big fan of this guy, Ed Bassmaster. He's very popular on the internet and has thousands of subscribers to his channel on YouTube. Some of the stuff Ed does is juvenile and silly, but that's what makes it funny to silly, juvenile Middle Aged men like me. Guys like me are nothing more than big kids...and damn proud of it. :)

Billiards and Dominoes? Yep...Like You've Never Seen Them Before

If you like pool or dominoes or if you like pool and dominoes, you'll love this video! The clip you are about to see combines a falling chain of dominoes and billiards into one of the coolest things you've seen in a while, with the exception of yesterday's Honda car commercial. Go see it if you haven't. Anyway, this is some really cool stuff. Sooooooooo...without further adieu....

Is that cool or what? If you've got a video you'd like to share with our readers, send it to TexNetMaine AT gmail DOT com. I'll look it over and if I deemed it to be worthy of being on The Blogging Empire, I'll post it and even give you a hat tip! What a deal!

This Video Gets a Standing O!

This is the Best Car Commercial Ever! It's two minutes long and it is the most incredible advertisement that I have ever seen! You've got to take a couple of minutes to watch it. You'll thank me later.  :)

Rock Legend Teams With Country Superstar!!!

This is BAD ASS! Steve Tyler and Carrie Underwood sing "Walk This Way" at the 2011 ACM Awards. Frakkin' cool.

The Pitch - A Tribute to Baseball

It's Opening Day for the 2011 Major League Baseball Season. Here's a guy who, at one time, was owner of the current American League Champions, Texas Rangers and a true baseball fan.

Back when we had a Man as President who loved and believed in his Country, like him or not, George W. Bush seized this moment shortly after September 11, 2001. God bless my fellow Texan. A man with morals and a pretty good fastball.

Steeeeeeeerrrrriiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkeeeeee !!!!!!
