History .. In the Buff! It's All About the Benjamins, Baby!


It is always good to have your birthday suit updated, to get out all the wrinkles!


Somethings never go out of style, like receiving captions on your birthday, like this one I made for Katie Mills. She had her birthday earlier this week, and luckily I had time to whip up a caption. I had the picture saved for a few days, mostly because it was interesting to look at, and the whole Police Squad line ran through my head while viewing it. "Is this some sort of bust?" "Yes ma'am, very impressive." They redid the joke for the 2nd movie.


Anywho .. wow! Yes, that is OJ in the clip, back when he was a funny guy!

So, I was thinking about that and how for your birthday, you should splurge for something you enjoy .. and I'm not sure why but I believe Katie lives somewhere between New York and Maryland .. so having a Remington bust and a quill pen just shouted out to me Philly, which meant Ben Franklin. What founding father was more kinky and randy than good old Ben, and he'd be the one most likely to enjoy our tg captions! So, I had all the pieces I needed to construct this birthday gift to Katie.

I wasn't sure how to finish it up, but then figured, wise old Ben had a saying for everything, so just cap it off with one to end it. "Fish and pussy both stink after 3 days" didn't quite make the cut. I vaguely remembered the quote I used, so I google'd it to make sure I got it right.

One of these days, I am going to visit Philly and enjoy some of the history there. I love history, which is why it is awesome to live in New England. I've visited Washington, DC in the past when I was young, but haven't done Philadelphia yet. I definitely want to see the Mutter Museum, The Franklin Institute, and Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant. Maybe on the way back I would stop in Red Bank to see Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Maybe I should start saving up my money now!

DISCUSSION QUESTION: Anyone else a big history buff out there? Tell me about your area and why/what I should visit if I'm in your neck of the woods. Feel free to talk about the caption too!


Yeah. I certainly wasn't going to post a Puff Daddy video! Here's the more well known parody done by the world's greatest human being .. Weird Al! And yes, I just got tickets to see him live later on this year!  First time I ever saw him live was at a now long gone amusement park about 20 years ago!

  1. A great fun caption. Am trying to write in about Washington's wooden false teeth and splinters but well settle for Franklin's dope plantation Dude !
    i love reading history books. any period really and country. I am a little rusty on USA history(did we used to own that? i forget) but just finished a book on the Spanish in south America.
    There is lots of great sites around here. You could start with a stone age flint mine, then roman roads and fort. there is a Norman castle and some more ruined ones. loads of old churches. medieval, Elizabethan and Georgian houses and many WW2 airbases. And Ye Olde ageing Ian.
