monkee snaps

I had to do it. And I am not ashamed. That bag of ginger snap cookies was just asking to be eaten. What kind of a person would I be if I just IGNORED its plea? I deserve a badge of honor.

Last night I went on eBay and found a bootleg DVD of old Monkee performances that I immediately scooped up. The description says it has Peter's performance on the Uncle Floyd Show back in the early 80's!!!! I LOVED the Uncle Floyd Show. I used to submit my little crayon renderings of Looney Skip Rooney-- but they never made it on the air. Apparently Floyd Vivino couldn't recognize true artistic talent. At any rate, this afternoon I bought tickets to see Peter Tork perform in Philly. I can't wait. This will be the 3rd time I've seen him perform solo. And as usual I will don my 1986 Monkees concert T-shirt. It's a little small since I was 12 years old when I originally bought it but I don't care. How else can I display my Monkee love?

I was a Floyd fan too. I'm surprised you didn't work that old Looney Skip Rooney joke into your post:

Skip: "Hey, Floyd! Hey, Floyd! I got a dog named Ginger."

Floyd: "Does Ginger bite?"

Skip: "No! Ginger snaps!"
