RED SOX FAN OF THE WEEKSpike
Spike is a black lab from Manti. He enjoys retrieving ducks, geese, pheasants, and frisbees. He is seen here, sitting in his office, watching a Red Sox game on NESN. He would like to see more of Heidi Watley and less of Don Orsillo. He still feels that Buckner was framed and has totally had enough of Manny.
Spike also enjoys reading the Wall Street Journal, listening to the Boston Pops, watching the History Channel, and peeing on flowers.Listed below are some of Voo's favorite movies involving WWI.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" was filmed in 1930 and still holds the test of time. It is a great movie as well as a great book.
"Sergeant York," starring Gary Cooper, is the true story of America's number one hero of WWI andCongressional Medal Of Honor winner, Alvin C. York. The movie was made in 1939.
"The Blue Max" was filmed in about 1966. Fantastic photography without any computer enhanced bullshit.
"Hell's Angels" was made in 1929 and produced by Howard Hughes---film debut of Jean Harlow. All in all, lousy acting but fantastic stunts and photography.
BONUS FEATUREI always try to give my readers something they can't get with other blogs. I feel I have out done myself today. Above is an autographed photo of Buster Crabbe. I'm sure you all remember him as Flash Gordon in the movie serials that played in the old Manti Theatre.
Flash GordonIt's time to talk a little bit about shotgun shells.
1930 Shotgun Shell Box
1920s or 1930 Shotgun Shell Box
Up until about 1960 shotgun shells were made of brass and paper.
After 1960 all shotgun shells were made of brass and plastic because plastic is much more friendly to the environment. However, I think it is a good idea to pick up the empty shells and put them to good use. Below are examples of how empty shotgun shells can be tastefully used to their fullest advantage.
They can be used as artful lights to enhance your living room.
They also make excellent Christmas decorations.
This is a photo of a wreath on my front door that is there year around.
More Christmas ideas.

Whatever shells you decide to use --- make sure they are Federal and that you purchase them from "The Wolf."

I can't begin to express just how inspiring it is to wake up to your blog Voo instead of the daily news. You provide real news, hard and up to the minute important articles. Thank you for the service you are doing for your country.

That is not Joanne! That much I know for certain! As for my photo-- that is really Ava Gardner but it's okay because people always have gotten us mixed up. I was married to Frank too-- but it only lasted a day.

Thanks for another magical mystery tour! You climbs on, you takes your seat, and GOD ONLY KNOWS where this crazy frickin' machine is going to take you today! The anatomy of the shotgun shell and Buster Crabbe's John Hancock. Those are the images I'll cherish from today. Those and Spiko's handsome mug, of course.
One question..can you get the shells without shooting? I was impressed with all those useful tips, but hate the gun part. Don't tell Curt or Larry.
Please advise.
One thing i have come to realize..you are one smart Voo, especially about the past. Just keep it up, because the time will come when, like me, you won't remember your favorite movie, book, car or boyfriend (of which I had many) and I sure as hell can't remember that wedding photo of me, but am so happy that you kept it and chose to share!
The Good Sister
Oh my...
I know this is not a competition... but I give.. you won Ray... but it is obvious... much like the Yankees are said to be the best team baseball can buy... you had unlimited resources to create this Voodoo Vern blog... I highly doubt it was done by yourself... However .. it ROCKS!
