McCARTHY MUGSHOT (Or, SEE FOTO OF THE REAL ME)

.
.LOOSE. .DOGS. (Patriotic Tramps & Ladies) ~

It's been a long time [*fornever*] since I posted a CURRENT photo of myself on this blog. Over the years I have posted some much older pictures of me from the 1980s and early '90s, but I have never posted a current photo of me. This was due only to the fact that I did not have the ability to take pictures and transfer them to the Internet.

Now, thanks to a very good and generous friend of mine who, for Christmas, bought me an electronic, Atomic Age computerized, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo camera with a tripod, I am finally able to post a picture of the original "Loose DogG" (i.e., me) as I look today.

I don't drink (Jack Daniel's) anymore; I don't look this young anymore;
.

.
(I don't look this hungover anymore, either)...
.

.
...but, still, I don't think I look too bad for 58, do I? A little more leathery and a lot less hairy, but still... I mean, for fifty-eight?!?!
.

.
Hey, at least I still have all most of my teeth and am not 666 pounds overweight!

I credit the fact that I look a good deal younger than my real age to Soy Lecithin, which I take every day. It keeps my skin soft and young looking.

Frank Burns was obviously the original "Ferret-Face". But if any of ya ever wanted to know what the second "Ferret-Face" looks like today, there ya go! That's a picture of the #1 Loose DogG & #2 Ferret-Face.
.
I'll confess that I ain't no big prize, I ain't no "major award". Nevertheless, considering all the Mojitos, Margaritas, Micheladas, Mai Tais, Mad Dog 20/20, and Monkey Wrenches I've drunken; all the women I've fought off; all the heartache, disappointment, and trouble I've seen, I don't think I look half-bad. OK, maybe 2/3rds bad?

Seriously, over the last couple years, a couple women have tried to pick me up in bars... and one of those two women was actually rather attractive. No, no, I no kiddin' you-uh! The second one... well... she probably could have picked me up in that bar!

Well, that's all, folks! I just wanted to see if I was really able to take a photo of myself with this new camera that my friend gave me and then transfer it to my blog. It looks like a suxess to me, Ladies & Tramps. Now, as you were...

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" (Or, PUTTING JESUS BACK IN THE MANGER)

.
A very Merry Christmas to all you Loose Dogs & Lemmings!

[If I need to define those terms for you again, you haven't been paying attention. OK, for the final time: Loose Dogs are informed, Constitution-loving Patriotic Americans; they can't be impounded and conditioned to accept Communism! Their bite is worse than their bark. It's a kind of 1776 thang.
.
Lemmings are... everyone else -- especially anyone who supports the New World Order Global Police State (i.e., Hellary Clinton voters, RINOs, most LEOs, most Millennials, all Pajama Boys, everyone sitting in a Starbucks at the moment you're reading this, and LOLeon Cobarde).]
.

.
If my wishing you a "Merry Christmas" upsets you, well, gee, I feel just sick about that, but there ain't nuttin' I can do about it because [link> THIS.

The following video is a year old now but somehow it doesn't seem to age! Let's revisit it, eh?...

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME IN 8 YEARS!

~ Joe Dan Gorman
.
Ha!-Ha! Oh, God knows I loves me some Joe Dan. If you've not been following this guy's YouTube channel, you just may be a... Lemming.

And now finally, I want to share with you a video I stumbled across yesterday during my downtime at work. It literally made me laugh out loud. I replayed it and laughed out loud a second time, half-expecting someone to walk in and ask me what was so funny.

We've heard the expression "Putting Christ back in Christmas". Well, this is a case of trying to "Put Jesus back in The Manger". When, oh when, will the Catholics and the Protestants ever see eye-to-eye?

.
Anyway, seriously, I wish y'all a Merry Christmas and a blessed 2018.

Incidentally, my New Year's Resolution is to become a kinder, gentler, more Christian-like [Maverick] Christian. (With a little luck, my resolve will last until the next time I get on the Reno freeway. Without two middle fingers, it's impossible to drive here! Reno: "The Biggest Little Ghetto In The World".)

THE LAST OF THE MOJITOS (Or, VIRGINIA CITY: WORST AND LAST HANGOVERS) -- Part 1

.

.
[Virginia City, Nevada] was a busy city of streets and houses above ground. Under it was another busy city, down in the bowels of the earth, where a great population of men thronged in and out among an intricate maze of tunnels and drifts, flitting hither and thither under a winking sparkle of lights, and over their heads towered a vast web of interlocking timbers that held the walls of the gutted Comstock apart. These timbers were as large as a man's body, and the framework stretched upward so far that no eye could pierce to its top through the closing gloom. It was like peering up through the clean-picked ribs and bones of some colossal skeleton. 
... 
Taken as a whole, the underground city had some thirty miles of streets and a population of five or six thousand. 
~ Mark Twain
'Roughing It', 1872; Chapter LII

Virginia City Waltz by Squeek Steele

.
I know nearly every inch of Virginia City, Nevada, because it's my favorite place on the planet. Yeah, I'm lowbrow and lovin' it! 
.
The first time I was in Virginia City in this lifetime was 1972 or '73. I have gone back so many times that I couldn't even begin to calculate it. I'd probably been there at least 12 times even before I moved to Reno -- which I did primarily to be within 30 minutes of Virginia City. I own at least 17 books and 2 DVD/VHS programs about VA City!
.
My previous blog bit 'bout the place can be found HERE.

If that video was a bit too tame for your Wild West cowboy or cowgirl spirit, try this next one. And watch for the brief shot of the lovely Squeek Steele painting soundscapes with the piano...

Virginia City -- Special Events
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3TVjmYWn5Y


.
One morning in 1986, I woke up in a Reno motel room with the worst hangover of my life. Imagine the worst hangover YOU'VE ever had. Multiply it a godzillion and six times!! Now you're in the ballpark. I got as far as the Sugarloaf Mountain Motel in Virginia City. It was probably about 10:00 AM and my day was already done. I rented a room and spent the rest of that day on my back, staring at the popcorn ceiling.
.

.
However, that was before my 1994 encounter with Christ Yeshua. On September 22, 1995, I took a final sip of wine from my silver cup and not a drop of alcohol crossed my lips after that for over 6 years. 
.
I can't remember why I started drinking again. I can't even remember where I was or what I drank. I just know that I climbed down off that wagon after 6+ years. 
.
In 2017, the Hula Girls socks that FAE gave me became my official Virginia City footwear...
.

.
I made many happy trips up there this year and had a good time visiting my favorite haunts and saloons. (My truck, Chuck, was a real trooper! Never once let me down!!) 
.
On several occasions, I texted friends from up there and later wrote to them about Virginia City in Emails. Below are excerpts from some of those writings:
.
Amusing signs I've seen in VA City...

"Body Piercings By Glock"

"DOG: Depend On God"

At the Palace Saloon there's a sign that says...

"My Reality Check Bounced"

There's also a store on C Street selling T-shirts that say...

"A.T.F. : Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. 
Who's bringing the chips?"

"My Indian Name Is Runs-With-Beer"
.
Damn, man, I love this place! I'm at the Old Corner Bar again -- where  Sam Clemens became "Mark Twain" -- and the guy next to me orders a drink but tells the bartender not to make it too strong because he has to attend a wedding in an hour.
.
The Bartender: "Are you the Best Man?"
Customer: "No, I'm the minister."
.
100% true. No joke!
.

.
Now then, you remember me texting you while I was having a drink in The Old Corner Bar? I said it was the place where Samuel Clemens acquired the pen name Mark Twain. Well, I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this to you before or not, but... The Old Corner Bar is attached to Piper's Opera House. While visiting Virginia City as a tourist, writer Richard Matheson was captivated by a photograph of the 1800s actress Maude Adams hanging on a wall inside Piper's Opera House. As he stared at the photo, a story began developing in his mind. That story became a novel which became the movie SOMEWHERE IN TIME.
.
One of the regulars who live up there in VA City is this guy who plays an old miner character. He has a donkey and for $1.00 you can feed carrots to his donkey and get your picture taken.

He wanders around a bit on C Street, the main street in town, where all the tourists are, but I'd say he spends 80% of his time at a particular intersection.

So, anyway, the miner was standing there on his usual corner and he was talking to a couple of people. I guess they were asking about posing with him or something. And the miner had let go of the reins attached to the donkey's bridle. As he's yakking with the tourists, behind him, the donkey starts to wander off and walks right out into the middle of C Street. Thankfully it's a 20 MPH speed limit on C Street, and no one even came close to hitting the donkey.

But when the miner turned around and saw his donkey in the middle of the street and crossing over toward the other side, he got mad. He runs out there, snatches the reins and starts berating the donkey for being such "a stupid so-and-so", and so forth.
.
As I was walking past the miner and donkey -- maybe four or five minutes after the donkey had wandered away and gotten yelled at for it -- I noticed that the miner was talking softly into the donkey's ear and apologizing for having lost his temper and yelling at him.
.
Ha!-Ha! Only in Virginia City, man! So many characters there!
