end of beans

it's the year 4325 and there's a war that nearly causes the extinction of mankind.earth's few inhabitants that are left alive live by their wits scavenging just to survive. surviving on beans (one of the only foods that survived the war), there are several other foods available for consumption ,(such as spam)although survivors find that beans offer more nutrition, are better tasting, not that spam isn't tastey but beans are easily transported(for the survivor on the go), and can be eaten hot or cold, baked or plain(depending entirely on a survivors mood or preference). the survivor's all seem to have a sense of humor about their predicament along with a nasty case of gas making sneaking up on anyone impossible due to the oder and the sound(threat of theft has been eliminated) the survivors of this bean eating apocalyptic event begin squabbling over the small piece or piece's of fat, bacon or whatever that may have been put in the can for that down-home flavor.

the survivor's will barter for beans and/or anything that make survival just a tad easier. there's a plan amongst the survivors to re-populate the earth(at least this was discussed at the "annual survivors sing-a-long and bean recipe swap) but again due to the nasty smell, intercourse is only accomplished on a bet. thus the population of the earth and the remaining inhabitants may dwindle into obscurity which poses the question."ARE THERE BEANS IN HEAVEN" and how does the taliban feel about beans,virgins and Lysol?

scarlet and grey

it was the first game this year for the ohio state buckeye's football team(even though i'll soon be 56 i had butterflies like a school-girl waiting on her date before the prom and she's just eaten an enormous bowl of soup beans) and as usual my brother and i listened to the game(my brother said he had butterflies too) via skype he's in singapore and i'm in newark, ohio in the usa. i suppose you could say we're hard-core buckeye fans but we've been following the buckeyes for years and years, i can remember watching the buckeyes with my father who died of cancer over 20 years ago) and my two brothers in the 1960's. this year seemed somehow different than the games of the past and it wasn't the fact that this year they have a new coach that they were forced to get after last years scandal(although he is a very good coach) and it wasn't that skype didn't come in perfectly throughout the game because it worked fine, at first we had some difficulty with the headphones but we soon remedied that before the game began and the buckeye's did win the game with a score of 55-10(after all they were playing miami of ohio). the first quarter ohio state played pitifully but by the second quarter they'd got their act together.

the game is played at 12:00 noon in ohio but it would be mid-night in singapore so i guess you could say my brother's a devoted hard-core buckeye fan. he graduated sometime in the late seventies and lived at the stadium dorm meaning he lived on the outside of the buckeye playing field(the horse-shoe) so at times i would visit and watch the games and that's when woody hayes was the coach and 2 time Heisman trophy winner was playing(Archie Griffin) but it doesn't explain why he insists on wearing a huge foam #1 on his hand with the index finger sticking out and painting his face(scarlet and grey)especially when no one can see him(except me) i'm the one with the pom poms.
