So I am on my phone Tweeting with blog pals and I hear "I am in jail". What? Well .... because I had NO computer, I could not see the photo at the Mixed Messages post by DCR. I was hold-up in a hotel on the Canadian border using a cell phone like a notebook (laptop) . Not so easy. NOT jail. Not really anyway.
I wonder how DCR found this picture from the Hollydale Times circa 1988? I thought I bought every copy ...

Even stranger, I saw this billboard traveling down Interstate 77
Sure, I know why I am looking at the HOT chick, but how did I get there? The real problem was that my URL was not listed at the bottom. What good is publicity if it does not drive traffic to the Speedcat Hollydale Page? Some people have blogs, some have SPLOGS (which suck), and some have web sites. I have a page. What defines being a "Page" and not a "Blog"? The difference lies mainly in content. Mine is random and contains way to many pictures.
Ehhh, that's how I do it.
(singing) This is how we dooo it ... when your life is mostly work, and there is nothing much to say aye aye aye .... THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!!!!
I hardly EVER travel far enough to need a hotel anymore. When did the price go from 49.00 dollars to 5000 dollars? SHAZAM ... Here is an exciting slide show for you. (Yes ... just YOU!)











Back to hotel pricing, I thought I knew the answer to the "inflation" when I went into the shitter. WOW !!! Looky here, a phone right next to the throne. Excited, I picked up and tried to call Guido Sarduci in Poland. Why not use some long distance miles on my Gold Card? Well, the blasted thing did NOT have a keypad. Stupid is as stooopid does, I wondered if it was voice activated, and proceded to "SAY" the numbers. One .... Eight Hundred ..... Seven .... etc etcNothing! Crazy thing is, it had a fan motor inside.
TO COOL DOWN WHAT !?!!
I was upset, and jumped on the bed until the box spring snapped. In retrospect, this action was worth the overnight price in itself.
Being home again is great. Having a computer and a KEYBOARD again is great. Being as far away from Canada as possible is great.
Canadians are lunitics.
THEN I FOUND THIS !!!!
The 2008 Absolute Bestest Incomprehensive Awards Ceremony Ever Held By Predator Press in the History of Humanity! at Predator Press
I was listed in cat-o-gory 5: Best posts of 2008
It was tough picking out my fave three posts of the year. But I’ve narrowed the list to:
Angry Seafood - "Polygamist Cult Not Attractive Enough to Join "
This riveting exposé dives deep into the seedy underbelly of polygamy and splays it’s steaming entrails all over the linoleum.Included topics are the downside of inbreeding and it’s inherent adverse effects -such as significantly inhibited recruitment.
neOnbubble - "Make Money Online With Blackmail "
Hats off to a deviously brilliant concept: an anonymous blackmail exchange program. I don’t want to ruin it by going into too much detail, so you’ll have to check this one out yourself.... and then let the paranoia set in.
Speedcat Hollydale - "Old Towne Speedcat Goin Down the River "
When Speedcat Hollydale announced he was going to release his single “Old Towne Speedcat Goin Down the River,” legend has it Scott Stapp got over himself and David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen started making out with each other.But Speedcat would have none of that: instead of muscling his Les Paul and Marshall stacks into the studio, Speedcat does is solo and acapella from his very own kitchen.Personally, I think this has way more influence on modern music than Kurt Cobain ever did.
Look "up" to see my NEW BadgeTo sum up the whole ball of wax, I'm pooped. To bad there is not a phone in my home bathroom either .... but I do tweet there.

Please tell me you weren't on the umm, shitter as you call it, when you took that photo! NO! LOL
And finally ... hows about a photo with you wearing the tiara and holding the thingy ... I forget what that's called. LOL!
Oh no, this is finally ... jumping on beds like that is illegal in Canada.
Ack! that was me - 3CatBlog is ME! MEMEMEME!!
Drowsey ... you silly Canadian!
Three Cat cannot be you, cause YOU are Drowsey.
SMOOOOOOOTCH!!!!!
ohhhhh - and NO, I was not on the toilet :-)
That would be wrong
I CANNOT wait to see you in your tiara! You'll be beautiful.
Hmmmm did you forget I'm half-Canadian? (Frown at dumb Canuck jokes)
Auntie still needs her stitched fingers kissed for them to heal properly.....(tappingfoot in impatience and pain)
Love ya Uncle & mucho huggles.
How can something so wrong as this post seems so right. You are hilarious. And Congrats on your award - I must go and check that award winning post out now. Have a great New Year. I just cannot get the whole Twitter thing - I just dont understand what exactly I am missing...
I want to know HOW you go galavanting all over the Norht country, keeping up with your blog (I mean Page) and tweeting all the while, and get back with enough ENERGY to post COMMENTS and be HILARIOUS?
NORTH country not Norht country.
Not sure where Norht would be exactly. Germany? :)
Chris ... I call it a healthy addiction, and am really looking for someone who knows how to call people on a phone with no numbers!
Lilly ... Twitter is only fun if the friends you have on line are there. (to me anyway)
It also gives me the ability to make mini posts on my sidebar. Where is Speedy???? Just check Twitter!
Silly Eric. That wasn't a phone so you could call OUT. That was a phone so the bed jumping police could keep in contact with YOU! :) Didn't you get their call? OH-OH! Maybe you outran them. :)
Ohhhh Auntie!
I left you some sugar (( smile ))
I felt bad about the cracked bed ... so I put a bunch of cans under there to raise it back up. Never had so many Snake Eyes Citrus drinks in my life. WHEW
Snake Eyes Citrus drinks sound scary but not as scary as cans under the bed!
Great Adventure, Great photos - Wow snows! I see fighting cock on the wall! let's cook the cock!
OH MY GOSH! I just saw the amazing pic of you JUMPING ON THE BED like a monkey! And I thought you were JOKING!!! :) Now it's even FUNNIER!
Netster ... you must be HUNGRY!!
Of course, chicken is the best. That picture was hanging up in the breakfast area. (continental breakfast)
That means CHEAP!!!! ha haaaaa!
Chris .... yes, and I REALLY broke it.
HA HAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, OBVIOUSLY I need to get some sleep. NOW I see that the "phone" is indeed a HAIR DRYER.
Man, I am SLOW tonight. :) How funny.
Maybe I shouldn't have admitted that. Oh well!
not on purpose tho
A HAIR DRIER?????????????
darn, that would have been handy in 15 below temps :-)
Hmmmm... jumping 20 feet into the air... probably repeatedly to get just the right shot... but breaking it wasn't on purpose.
Oh, I am REALLY laughing now!
Now, if ONLY they had some PRUNES on your pillow as a hospitality gift!
I must admit....your tiarra is NICER than mine!!!
How was jail anyway?
Chris ... I was lucky to get a chair at THIS hotel. Did you see my little desk??
Nurse - NOT nicer than the baby NEW YEARS ... he heee
There was a preview of that picha at Mimi's blog (in comments)
I am trying to find a Music Monday LATE edition. You Tube yacked a lot of music (violation retractions)
Golly!!
That's one tiny chair and desk. At least I THINK I saw a chair and desk. Did you break those too?
..... yes, by accident ((blush))
I am BUSILY working on my very own special 2008 edition year-end wrap up music video! YOU are in it! (And not doing Old Towne Speedcat...even THOUGH that is prolly the bestest video ever made!)
:)
Olga's music video sounds promising!
Did you leave ANYTHING in one piece?
Olga , REALLY!
I can't wait :)
Is it a photo vlog????
Yes ... the coffee machine is OK. It's in my bag!!!!!!!
he hee
OH NO! Don't you know those things have tracking devices in them?
Good thing I gave it to a freind!
I use Folgers Crystals
A what??? I am making a montage of my adventures from 2008...set to music...it's taking forEVER...but great things usually do....
Is that kind of like regifting? :)
Olga ... i have a feeling that this will be one of the greatest things EVER to hit your blog. I cannot wait.
I am really proud to be one of the people that has had her to my city.
Re-Gifting is only re-gifting when they Know it is re-gifting. That, or the cops show up!!!!
(O-O)
*****
\---/
Are those HANDCUFFS?? EEEKS!
I had no idea the penalty for regifting was so steep!
Well, you know you hold a special place in my heart Speedy....I'd never been with a man before....you were my "first!" xoxo
I can see the jailhouse conversation now...
Inmate #1: I done killed a man just ta watch 'im die. Whatd'u in fer?
Inmate #2: I done killed a man just ta make 'is friend watch 'im die, den I killed 'im too. Whatd'u in fer?
Speedy: I jumped up and down on a bed in Canada!
OLga ... I know (smile)
Those posts will always be my favorites.
xoxoxo
DCR .... that is SO CLOSE to a true story from my past, it's crazy.
Chris!!!! .... look what I added to the post now.
It reminds me of missing "home".
Wow!!!!
You find the BEST music videos!!!!
Thanks everyone for stopping by tonight ... I really missed you guys!!!!
Must get up early though.
Goodnight from Hollydale
G'night Speedy!
Were you looking for absolution from Father Guido Sarducci for murdering 2 or 3 people? ;~)
Hopefully, your cellmate will not hold you up at Mixed Messages? :~))
(A Black Hole in Dan's Blog ate my Comment at his place)
@ "The following content is ripped off and copied word for word. Google LIKES when you do that! ......" : Does that increase Google's revenue or your Google Pork Rations? ;~)
The Black Hole is a special feature on my blog. People are drawn to it.
You mean only cellmates are drawn to the Black Hole on your Blog? ;)
You tweet in the bathroom? NO! LOL It's okay to toot there, but tweet?
And I forgot Music Monday, darn. I love Glen's voice and that song in particular. I grew up watching his tv show! That song is haunting... but so pretty. Good choice :)
I've never heard of this song before. It's pretty cool. Nice and mellow. :)
Btw, happy 2009!
Hello...Speedy,I am not sure you will even see my comment here among your many comments,lol,but since i WAS STOPPING BY,i HAD TO LEAVE A PENNYS WORTH!I agree,your blog url should have been up there with the rest of your face...it would allow you to get many more readers...not that you need that!
How amazing that you found that mobile phone in the loo,wow,those things are rare and yep,they allow you to cool your head while sitting in the throne room calling all your mates :)
At least you had twitter....oh yes,and your lovely tiara
Glen Cambull is good
mmm! slipped into Canada eh..and no Tim Hortons
Congratulations on your award Speedy. I went over and ready the entry about you. Cool.
Have a terrific day. Do not delete this comment...I'm not participating in Music Monday...I'll admit it...I hate to be deleted. Bwahahahahaha. Big hug. :)
Hi Speedy,
You are hi-large-ious as ever (judging by your billboard :-)
I see I have missed a huge amount of content here.
Congrats on your awards. You deserve the best always.
Hi Speedy. I'm so glad you have escaped from the Canadian jail!
I'm surprised they locked you up---I thought you had diplomatic immunity!!
Congratulations on your award! You deserve it, of course. Old Towne Speedcat is a great video! HA HA!:D
I enjoyed seeing your pictures from your trip. I guess they threw you in jail because you broke the bed---ooops.
And glad to see you made it in for Music Monday (just under the wire--whew!) Believe it or not, I saw Glen Campbell in concert in Columbus, OH singing with the Columbus Pops Orchestra---but only because my sister-in-law does volunteer work for the Pops and she had free tickets! ha ha!
Happy Tuesday to you.
Wow! You've been busy. What did you do with that "get out of jail Free" card? Let me know if you need me to mobilize the troops again! Great choice for Music Monday. Very Classy! Have a great New Year!
I love your award! That was very well deserved. I'm sure that post of yours will go down in blogosphere history (as will many others of your posts). LOL. I'm glad to hear you weren't really in jail. But I am kind of disappointed to hear that hotel pricing has gone up so much and just because of the convenience of a new techno-fancy phone in the throne room that is too hard to figure out how to use! Sheesh. And in these tough economic times, too! ;)
Hi Speedy from Teeni! :)
Hey Speedy, hope the Canadians are taking care of you lol. They are good peeps!
Not sure how you got in jail from Dan's pic and I don't wanna know lol.
Take care and have a great New Years!
EVERYONE
Thank you so much for your comments ... I ALWAYS read each and every one!!!
I have yet to catch up on returning comments here and elsewhere since getting back home. I've been putting in a ton of hours at work. Old Speedy will be trying to make it to visit all of your blogs in the next few days.
I am getting a few days OFF
YHEEEEEEEEE HAAAW!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Speedcat! Am coming by to follow your blog. :)
In 10 hours it's gonna be 2009!!! Woohoo! I cannot wait!
My thoughts and prayers are with you...I mean, who in the hell can eat 52 chicken nuggets and not come close to death?!
;)
I'm glad you are getting a few days off! Good for you! I hope you have a wonderful time doing things you love and with people you love! :)
Happy new year to you, SwiftPuss Holyoke! :)
May this New Year bring you more love, joy and success. HAPPY 2009! :)
Wishing on a Falling Star
Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery
Happy New Year Doctah! I'm at the Nurse's Station wondering where you want me to put the Disco Ball?
Please hurry!.... IT'S HEAVY!!
Congrats on your win. And I hope we'll get to see a picture of you with that tiara and scepter.
At least before Queen Elizabeth comes to fetch it back.
Hey Speedy!
I just visited Summer's blog and saw your comments. I almost didn't comment myself! HOW does one follow up on THAT? :) You're so funny.
Thanks for bringing so much FUN to the blogosphere over this past year! May the NEW YEAR bring you much happiness (and time to BLOG!) :) (Ooops! I mean, POST on a PAGE!). :)
Happy New Year!
Of all the things that Eric has done over the course of this year, I am shocked that you jumped on the bed. Just SHOCKED!
I'm going to lie down now.
Hi Eric, I just want to wish you a Happy Blessed New Year...keep on blogging...love your humor.
I LOVE YOUR NEW HEADER!
That's Hollydale, USA, right?
You are a gem to the blogging world, a true artisan. LOL!
Glad to have "met" you!
Ring in the New Year with a bunch of drunk beavers. And post pictures for your fans please!
2009, watch out. Speedy's a'comin'!!
