Mr. Whipple

Do you ever have one of those weeks where work just wears you down? I am guilty of not returning comments and some lack-luster posts in the past few days... OOPS!!
Well today I'm taking the big plunge, and just showing this YouTube. It is one of my favorites though. I promise to stop by this weekend. Until then, happy blogospheres :-)

Yo Yo Gut in a Wringerhouiskee

Some time ago, in prime condition, I was found on the cover of this magazine.

The Cover


Chubs

So I ate a little too much. Time to hit the gym and do some exercising around the house. Nobody wants a round-belly! I have to be in shape for my rigorous life, and prove that I can indeed, still run.





I am seen here wearing FULL sweat gear in my "new" workout center. I built it last week, not to shabby - aye? To bad that my cable is out, because this is not very fun with a black screen! I like to watch "Leave it to Beaver" when running at full speed.

By springtime, my target weight is 7 pounds. Wish me luck.

Dancing With The Stars WINNER Speedcat

Well... It's official. Dancing with the Stars is now over, and the winner is Speedcat "Helio" Hollydale. Boy-O, how exciting. My fancy footwork really paid off big-time!!!! I am very happy now, and plan on retiring from competitions. From now on, I will only dance for you here on my blog. Don't worry for me :-)

I do feel bad about Marie Osmond. I have always been in love with her, and felt awful about stealing her crown. When she heard that I won.... she passed out again. I snuck in a small kiss!

Britney Spears reported to be pregnant with third child

Could it be true? Good night, they say Britney Spears may be pregnant again. I am glad I'm not in line to be an infant of a celebrity!
What will the baby look like?... I also wondered what a human with Speedcat & Britney DNA would like too, so I used my high speed - atom splitting technology, and created this hybrid on my 1997 Packard Bell with a Celeron 366 MHz processor. I don't like it, and never plan to procreate.

Drowsey Likes to Dance with Speedcat!

Hey! Look at me and Drowsey Monkey dancing at the award gala. We are the big item on the parquet flooring. Whooo Hooo!!!!!

The Amazing Blogger Award is a fine recognition, and I think I'm liking the company that I'm in. Blackholes and Astrosuff sent this to Drowsey, and she awarded Observations from the Back 40, Olga, The Travelling Bra , and Speedcat Hollydale .... that's me :-)

The bloggers listed here are a fine group of people, and I love to sling hash with all of them - sometimes back and forth on one post's comment form.

Thanks Drowsey, and I'm sorry that I ruined your shoes.

Sadness Lost

Sometimes there is a beautiful ending to a sad day. This picture was taken out of a moving car window on the way home Sunday.

The end of November in Minnesota is usually cold, windy, and brown. No green leaves, lost colorful meadows. This day was calm, silent, and warm.
I have never seen a sunset so full of power and fire. Hues ranged from white hot yellow, to a deep purple flowing effortlessly though the sky. I believe there are hidden messages sent to us in life. Ones that are hard to discern, or even see. A calmness takes over my soul, as I float freely with the horizon.




Goodbye to my dog Wrinkles. I loved her more than anything, and have a big hole in my heart where she once was. I miss you...

Trinity Attitude Award

Let's Party!! is probably the largest, and without a doubt the best awards post I have ever seen. Trinity really put on a BIG show, and you have to see it to believe it. You can imagine how happy I was to find my name listed there. This is my NEW award from Trinity .


Trinity Wrote: "This Winning Attitude Award goes to SpeedcatHollydale and Bobby !"

"Mr. Eric looks gorgeous walking at the aisle to the podium. His beard makes his charisma shine with King Arthur's costume! Mr. Eric never lacks of ideas to make his readers smile and laugh. He is absolutely has a positive thinking to see the bright side of every situation. Seeing his hair is so tidy, I think he had his roof back now after the tornado blew off his house! Congratulations Mr. Eric Speedycathollydale!"

At the original post, Bobby Revell has an award picture too, and I must say..."Being mentioned in the same breath as Bobby is truly an honor."

Thank you Trinity.... you really do make me smile :-)

I am currently doing this... Rolando tag / Olga Award / Mels stuff... HI!! . Yup, I'm here today, workin` the tags.

Speedy Meats "The Story of my Belly"

It started out simple enough. I had my stretch pants on, and was ready to meat my destiny with Thanksgiving chow. It's not eating that I enjoy... it's over-eating! Here is the rest of the story in picture format. It doesn't last long, so don't be haten` on me. Please sit back and relish the shoot. :-) .... There's my cute little Grandaughter in the the slideshow too.

Now, what kind of ending does this meat post have? Remember the Oompa Loompa's from Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory? Just look at this next picture through a purple lens. I really pushed this waistband to the limit!!!! All in all, I had 3 plates of food, two pieces of pie, candy, two deviled eggs, chips and salsa, nuts, and about 10 coffees to wash it all down.

Oh my belly aches! Now Rolando knows what Turkinator pants look like.

Go ahead, poke my belly once. It's just like jelly

Ann's Spartan Speedcat in the Sun

Hey! Look at me... I am a Spartan, and I lost some weight. Ann from A Nice place in the Sun sent in this entry for my "Eric's Head Contest". Ann has a spectacular blog, and best of all is a super person. She also goes by the name of slugger, so don't make her mad. (Just kidding Ann) - My favorite type of blog is the type that you can interact with. Comments are more that just a few words left out there in cyberspace, they are like small E-mails that get a response. A Nice place in the Sun is a site that is fun to read, and you also get to know a very nice writer. It really is a "nice place". Make sure to stop by and say hello.

The picture above is one that I had some fun creating on Thanksgiving with my nephew after dinner. Below is the original sent in by Ann. I think she did a great job! Thanks Ann :-)

A Thanksgiving "Thank You" I saw at Mel's place where he gave me this

.... and I also saw THIS!!!! I had to put one here too.

"Thank You Mel"

Turkey Trains & Automobiles

Cooking recipes are fun.... OK, let's step it up a notch. This is my Speedy Cat Hollycat Thanksgiving blow-out in the oven and broiling myself jamboreee!
First I lightly butter my cheeks. No, not those! Sheeeesh. - Then, in the oven I go. Yahhoooo :)

How do I turn out? Well, just ask my bra friend Olga. She made this for me today. I love that bra. If you would like to give your site a bright Thanksgiving picture, help yourself! Copy and paste, but please don't put me in the refrigerator without a blanket.

Thanksgiving is the holiday when you eat so much food, that your belly increases by 5 inches.
I have special pants for this day. I call them the turkinators! It's easy to think that everyone will be celebrating on Thursday for me, but then I remember that not everyone lives in the USA. The bloggy-o-sphere is a big place, and can hold up to 150 people at a time! For those of you that do not have Thanksgiving... have some chicken and pretend you do.

Holidays mean travel for most. I like to take the train, because they stay on the ground, and most of them are magical. My favorite is the Minnesota Zepher - if this train is not magic, then David Blaine is a girl. It takes you back in time, and you can look at yourself. Here I am pictured below, waiting for the "Thanksgiving Train". It runs on turkey for fuel, and is usually late.



I like to hug and kiss all of my relatives on holidays, and they know it. They all stand back and flinch when I move towards them. Grandma will kiss back though, and leaves bright red lipstick on my face.
