BARRY O

I was just reading a post on Chief Rooneys site, and I feel that I did not analyze my point on Barry O. What I think is funny, is that many people, more then I can tell you about do not realize that the PRESIDENT ELECTS real first name is Barry. As for the O part, I do not want to say this mans last name starts with an O. So that is why I refer to this man, who template or not, I feel can be worse then the PEANUT FARMER, on the Presidental scale.

THANKS

Today is what is known as BLACK FRIDAY. For the first time in years, I have no interest in buying anything that the stores are having on "SALE". Now I put the word sale in quotations, because they are not really having a sale. In fact, the merchandise that they advertise really doesn't exist.

Last night, as I was driving home from my parents house, I drove past a WORST BUY. I Mr O'Malley is not bullshitting you, but on a cold November night, around 10p.m. in the evening, the WB had 20 people outside waiting for 5a.m. to get in the store. What a bunch of assholes. What are they waiting for, the one TV, the one X BOX, the WII?

Don't people understand that the items only exist in imagination. I was conned last year. FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON ME. FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON YOU.

ITS BEEN 20 YEARS

This past Wednesday marked the 20th anniversary of the death of my grandfather. It is hard to believe that 20 years have passed, but it has. I do not know where the time goes but it goes. I think about my grandfather a lot, how he would react to things that are happening today, how his great grandchildren would react to him. I am sure that Brady, the 9 year old would get a great kick out of his stupid jokes. I am not sure how the 10 year old Darren would relate, but I am sure that he would also enjoy his company.

What I think is funny that my grandfather was a member of the GREATEST GENERATION. His Great Grandchildren are members of the DUMBEST GENERATION.

The Menza an update++

Well all I have to say on this matter is that Mr Omalley and Mr Ganz both had a great time at the Menza. Mr Ganz first and foremost made contact with a female. Yes a girl wanted to dance with Mr Ganz. I couldn't believe it, but it is true.

The 12 Penney Saloon is a real nice place. It is even nicer without certain people who say certain things not being there. As I have said before, I go to the club to have

FUN. I HAVE FUN AT THE 12 PENNEY, AND SO WOULD YOU.

The Menza an update+

The Menza

Father O'Malley along with his crazy sidekick Mr. Ganz will be traveling to Scranton Pa this weekend to visit with their friends at the Menza. He will report back on the events at the 12 Penney when he returns.

AUTOMOTIVE BAILOUT

Doesn't it seem strange that everybody and their mothers are asking for handouts. The one that I really do not agree with is the 25billion dollars for the "big" three automakers.

What I do think that the companies should do is file under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States. People do it, companies do it, WHY NOT GM,FORD, and CHRYSLER llc. The situation with Chrysler is the dumbest thing that I have heard in a while. This is a private company 80% owned by CERBERUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. This CERBERUS owns 100's of companies, many of them profitable. I do understand that they want to give CHRYSLER to GM for the 50% of GMAC mortgage that they do not own. Let them do it.

People say the problems of General Motors and Ford are economic related. I say BRAVO SIERRA (B.S.) The two companies did it to themselves and it started 25 years ago, with their dedication to the unions. Now I am not a union basher, but the unions were a dying breed 25 years ago, and in order to get away from them the two companies, and CHRYSLER started opening factories in Mexico for final assembly and parts manufacturing.

Now this may have been a good idea, especially around 1992 when the NORTH AMERICA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT known as NAFTA passed, but it ended up screwing with them .


People also say that the reliance on the SUV and the non increase of the CORPORATE AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY (CAFE) standards during the George Bush reign were also a big factor. This I agree with. True, who knew that gas would be $4 a gallon, but who needs to be driving back and forth to work in the $40,000 Chevy Tahoe?


Who do you blame? I blame the companies themselves. I do not blame the Japanese companies because they make a decent product. In fact Toyota, Nissan and Honda employ about the same number of people today as GM, FORD, and CHRYSLER do.


This situation is sad, very sad.

Midwest Cheers

Mr OMalley wants to thank his host CJ ELGARF at elgarfmiscellany.blogspot.com
for his hospitality last weekend. I havent had that much fun in a while. In fact the mood didn't last for long as the election for PRESIDENT of the United States took place and the results left me somewhat ill on Wednesday.

I also want to thank "CHIEF" ROONEY at chiefrooney.blogspot.com
for his insight during the weekend. His comments and observations are first class and the humor, Don't get me started is second to none.

When you have friends like these two trivial things like election results can be dealt with in a civilized manner.

Thank You and a Baba Booey to you

MR OMALLEY IS BACK

I'm Back. For those of you that complained that Mr O is not available or whatever happened to the Right Reverend, the answer is I AM BACK. There is a lot of things that I need to catch up upon, but I am glad that I am back and I plan on being here for a long time.

F-ED IN THE HEAD

As I start this posting, I must apoligize for my blatent rude title. As this is said, then I can now go on to my posting.

I am deeply concerned for Mr Ganz. As a man in his 50's I see a side of him that I feel should happen in somebody much older. I do not want to be cruel, but I feel that he may be suffering from some sort of Dementa. I guess you can say that it all started last Monday. I saw Mr Ganz at work, and he asked if we are still going to the 12 Penny this weekend. He also asked if we can play bingo before. I snapped at this and said. "WE ARE NOT GOING TO MENZA THIS WEEKEND". I feel that if Mr Ganz wants to play bingo, then that is what we will do.

Well Mr. Ganz told Mr Laytom about this and Laytom asked me about this on Friday. I said I was kidding, that he pissed me off about the bingo. He said that he will call Mr Ganz and tell him the news.

Well driving back from Scranton on Saturday, all he kept talking about was that He thought we were going to leave at Midnight and that I am going to tell my sister that I was at Stupids house. I am like shut the fuck up. Stop talking about your sister because you piss me off everytime that you mention her name. Second of all, we always stay for the duration. And Finally you are a 55 year old man, who has accomplished nothing in life except to add your name to the record books for having the most Cds, developing the FARTING GAME, and finding the most ways to Masturbate.

MR GANZ THIS ONE MESSAGE IS FOR YOU "GROW THE FUCK UP"

NO POPPING

MR Laytom did not POP this time at the 12 Penny. Thank you for understanding.

THE MENZA A WRAPUP

Well, I am sure that as you read this, you anxiously await news about what had happened at the latest Menza event. Well here goes. First of all, a nice time was had for all that was in attendance.

The drive up to Scranton was very interesting, as I was GPSing my way to Scranton. First of all, I have probably drivin to "THE HOME OF 30,000 POUNDS OF BANANAS" about a 100 times. So why you ask, does MR OMALLEY need global positioning to get to Scranton. Well the answer is this. With gas at close to $4.00 a gallon and tolls of $10.00 each way, he needs to find the easiest and less costly approach to travel. This is where the GPS comes in. I plotted it to take me on some backroads. Yes, we followed the Delaware River all the way up, and Mr. Laytom said that river is long. No shit Sherlock. Well it only cost us $1.00 in tolls to get up, and then on the way back we went the normal way because it was dark.

At the 12 Penny we had our normal share of NEPA Members and regulars. There were Lesbians and straight people and we all had a great time, except for Mr. Ganz, who I think had a good time, but is somewhat "fried"

The Wedding

I think it is funny that nobody gives a rats ass about Bushes daughter Jenna's wedding. It is that they must hate the guy so much, or that they think the time is not right for a wedding. I was also surprised that she did not get married in the WHITE HOUSE. Come on you BIOTCH you have the opportunity and you pass it up. You Jenna are an idiot.

GAS PRICES

I am so pissed off at the rise of gas prices. $4.00 a gallon. Last night I was listening to BUBBA BO on AMERICAS TRUCKIN NETWORK, and he said that when Dictator Bush came into office the price of a barrel of oil was $28.oo. I do remember gas going for about $1.20 a gallon. I remember around the first desert storm in 1991, gas went from 95 cents to $1.40 and I was pissed. I am still not as shocked as I was after Hurricane Katrina, but that situation was short lived.

I was with my sister in the grocery store last weekend and she spent $250.00 on groceries and her cart wasn't full. Then she had to gas up the SUV, and that came to $83.00. She now wants to trade in the SUV, but she feels that she owes more on it then it is worth.

This ecomony needs to collapse at this point and then we can start all over, after the BUSHWACKER has left town.

THE MENZA

I am really sorry for the lack of posts recently,but I have been very busy. Tonight I am going with MR. LAYTOM, AND MR GANZ BACK TO THE 12 PENNY FOR THE MONTHLY NEPA SOCIAL. A question was brought up on what happened with Mr Laytom the last time he was at the 12 Penny. Well, the simple answer is this He Popped. I do not want to get that much into detail about this, but if you want to know everything that happened that night please send me an email @omalleyviews@gmail.com and I will get right on it.

It should be a nice evening, the weather looks good. No AGOTFAY As he is in Alaska with Ralph. I hope the regulars show up, and most of all for Mr. Laytoms sake lets see some LESBIANS.

The Menza Day 2

nepa-leathrmen.org

It is day 2 of the Menza, and we are having a ball. the shows are fantastic and the food is good. We went To STEAMTOWN this afternoon and Mr Ganz saw his old friend and we walked around. Mr Ganz is complaining that he is hungry, and Mr Laytom is unable to shut the cell phone off. I can not tell you how many times Mr O"Malley has yelled at him about this problem. Otherewise a good time for all

The Menza Day One

With my utmost apoligizes for not blogging very much, but tonight I arrived in Scranton with Mr. Laytom, and Mr Ganz. we saw our old friend GBBM and we had a good laugh. It took us awhile to get up to Scranton Pa, yes that Scranton, the home of 30000 pounds of bananas. It seems that Mr Laytom has a problem with sitting in a car. He is like a 2 year old splishing and splashing along the 150 mile drive up the PA TURNPIKE. He dirtied the car and himself, and when he needed to get his trusty cell phone out of the car he said that he spotted some hot girls that were interested in him. Yes with his teeth, I say BS.

THE MENZA

It is that time again that I go up to Scranton Pennsylvania with Mr. Ganz and Mr Laytom to the NEPA Leathermen 12th annual awards dinner. The annual dinner is April 26, and the website is nepaleathermen.org.


  1. Mr Laytom wants to go to the Menza, but he is embarassed to tell anybody about it
  2. Mr Ganz is afraid to go into the pool
  3. Mr OMalley has to drive and therefore must go
  4. Mr. OMalley can not drink as he gets drunk and Mr Laytom gets pissed
  5. The theme is "THE OFFICE" and the main man DADDY DAVE is going to be Steve Carrol.

Changes

Last Weekend I was watching the pregame show in the Sweet Sixteen of Basketball. They were interviewing a coach of a team in the championship. This coach who I know is an alumni of the University that I went to told of the fact that at his alma-mater his dormitory was recently demolished. The next day I checked up on this and I was sad to learn that it was the same dorm that I spent a good number of years in.

The rest of the day I was in a fog, because this
Passage of Youth to me is the same as if an old friend had passed. It has been a good 13 years since I slept in that building, but the memories do not fade.

The Economy Sucks

I was still reeling about ATA airlines when I heard about The SKYBUS dilemma. The problem is that the economy sucks. I know I am feeling a bit more pinched today, as my workload has been cut, due to reduced sales. I know this may not be exactly because of the economy, but the fact is, We are in deep shit.

ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID

Mr OMalley is not in a happy mood today. Last night he was in high spirits after getting home from the bingo with Mr Ganz and Mr Laytom. He was driving home and happened to catch the beginning of the Americas Truckin Network, hosted by Bubba Bo. Bubba was reading the news headlines and he was talking about threee airlines that went out of business the past week. He mentioned ALOHA, ATA and then he said that SKYBUS out of Columbus Ohio went out today. I said ARE YOU SHITTING ME. I was pissed. I was originally going to fly the first flight out of Wilmington Delaware on March 7, 2008. There was a major storm that day in THE BUCKEYE, so I called MR ELGARF, and I explained the situation and then we said that we would see each other soon. I was to receive a credit, that now is going to be a refund, but the fact is I was fortunate that I did not book another flight yet. I heard about all the people that got screwed when the airline just quit. How the hell can people do that. You had a lot of stranded people and they are pissed. If you look at the situation, the whole SKYBUS idea was a failure at launch. How can they sell $10 tickets when they are paying $3.00 a gallon for the distillate, known as jetfuel?

MR Omalley is Okay

The first thing that I must do to all me readers is to apoligize for not posting in at least a month. First of all my laptop died and I am still waiting for it to come back from California. Then comes the fact that since I was planning a visit to see two people that I blog with, that I could wait. Well to my dismay the visit was postponed due to the snow in the Midwest, so here I blog. I have alopt to catch up upon, so here it is.

CORPORATE DISHONESTY

As someone who thinks that he knows something, I am deeply concerned about corporate dishonesty. A number of months ago the Walt Disney Company announced that they were coming out with a movie starring Hannah Montana/ Miley Cirus, that was only going to play for one week and one week only. Now to the dismay of this author, that film is going on its 3rd week.

I am not one to complain about people making money, that is the name of the game, but the fact is that if they said "one week and only one week" that means that. Don't give me the "held over by popular demand". You knew that the film is going to be popular. You are charging a galling $15 DOLLARS A ticket. If that is not highway robbery, then what is?

I am all for Miley Cirus or Hannah Montana, but after her family said that she is not going to end up like Jamie Lynn Spears, this fact really disturbes me. For one thing DON'T BE SO FUCKING GREEDY and tell Disney that they should only charge a $2.00 premium, because of the 3d and the cost of the glasses from China. But this $15 bull shit. Families are struggling, and ripping people off is not the American Way

VALENTINES DAY

This Thursday is Valentines Day. I can not believe that it has been 5 years since the big Valentines Flop. Most people know what happened but it is funny, everytime that I hear a talk show host read a commercial for a particular Teddy Bear Company, I start to laugh.

For those that do not know what happened, here is the abridged version. Mr O'Malley on Valentines Day gave 2 stuffed animals to 2 girls at his place of employment. That weekend there was a major blizzard and he had 2 extra days off from work. When he came back to work he got called into his supervisors office and was told that by giving "sensual" gifts to those that one really doesn't know is considered sexual harassment. The two girls reported the incident to the human resources department, and the shit hit the fan.

It was another supervisor, who is friendly with a morning talk show host who saved my ass. This particular supervisor called that host who brought the incident up on his airwaves. This attracted the attention of Glen Beck, who at the time was hosting his 9am to Noon nationally syndicated talk show out of the same studios. Glenn Beck talked about this story on his airwaves, and when those in Mr O'Malleys workplace heard about this, the charges of sexual harassment were thrown out.

To this day Mr O thanks this particular supervisor, and every time he sees one of the girls that did this to him, he refers to her as THE SFACHEME. The other girl quit some time ago, but THE SFACHEME is still there, and as she gets older gets uglier.

Shut Up.

I just need to vent a little on the political race for mayor now that SUPER TUESDAY is behing us. I just can't stand listening to the DRAGONLADY. Her Voice gets on my nerves. Obama is getting to me with his bull shit, and I am disappointed that the MORMON dropped out. McCain, please use HEAD AND SHOULDERS because the dandruff really shows

THE MORNING AGOTFAY

I am really tired of people who bull shit a lot. A man that I work with is a cronic bull shiter. I do not know what it is but the fact is that a man that I work with can not be trusted.

At times he can be cool, but he can't be trusted. I don't know if this is because this man if a homosexual, and he may have had a hard time adjusting in society, but when I am at a Menza function, he can be the nicest person in the world. That following Monday, he can be an asshole, who just bullshits his way through society.

I am at wits end with him, because of his actions and because he just talks out his ass. I do not know what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.

MEMORIES,. THE WAY THEY WERE

Tonight is Super Bowl Sunday. I am not in the business to make any prognostications, but the fact is I have had a lot of good memories when it comes to sports.

My favorite Super Bowl memory is from Super Bowl 28 which was played on January 30, 1994 between the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. I remember the day like it was yesterday.

At the time I was at this small university in Northwestern PA, or pee ahy, as people refer it to. This is the same school that Elgarf refers to in many of his blogs. I remember walking around campus, and two freshmen come up to me and ask me if I wanted to take them to somebodys house so that they can watch the big game. I was thinking about watching the game at the dorm. I said to them okay, and off we went on a 30 mile journey up to a town called Leeper PEE AHY. In fact there was so much snow up there that my four door sedan got stuck, and somebody had to tow me out.

At the house, it is more like a cabin, we had KFC and all the beer that we can drink. There must have been about 40 people there, including some female students, and watching the game became less and less meaningful as the beer went down.

The game ended and I spent the night on the sofa. Naturally I blew off classes the next day, like the experts say many people do in the business world. It has been over 14 years since this fine evening, and every Super Bowl that I watch can not equal that particular Super Bowl. Now I know it wasn't the game, the fact is I think I may have watched a total of just 15 minutes. Is it that I had a great time, or was it the Beer. Nevertheless, "LETS GO BIG BLUE"

BINGO ALL THE WAY PART 2

Last evening I went back to the so called bingo arcade with Mr.Ganz and Mr. Laytom. This time we brought along an honored guest Mr Yaris. The owner of the establishment was present, and he greeted us with smiles. Yes Mario Assendomae is his name, and bingo is his game. Mr Ganz won at the horseshoe, and Mr. Yaris won 3 times. The author won once, and Mr Laytom was the pissed off member this visit, because he didn't win once.

All and all it was good times and great memories.

HEATH LEDGER

THE KINGS ROOM http://kingroom.com HAS A TRIBUTE SECTION ON THE LATE STAR OF BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. PAUL LAYTOM WAS A HUGE FAN OF THAT FILM, AND HE LIKED HEATH LEDGER AS AN ACTOR. I AM SADDENED BY HIS DEATH, AND THE COVERAGE BY THE MEDIA. THEY ARE MAKING HIM OUT TO BE ANOTHER MARILYN MONROE. HE WAS FOUND NUDE BY THE BED. WHO GIVES A SHIT. HE WAS NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. HELL I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HIS GIBBERISH, WHICH HE CALLED ENGLISH. DON'T GET ME WRONG. IT IS SAD WHEN SOMEBODY WHO HAS ALOT OF MONEY AND IS AS YOUNG AS HE WAS TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE, BECAUSE MONEY DON'T BUY HAPPINESS, BUT ENOUGH OF HEATH. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE FANS, BUT DON'T BE SAYING THAT HE WAS THE NEXT COMING OF CHRIST

CHIEF ROONEY REVIEW

I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW A BLOGSITE THAT I ENJOY. THIS IS CHIEFROONEY.BLOGSPOT.COM, ALSO KNOWN AS THE CHIEFS FORUM. WHEN IT FIRST BEGAN ALL IT DID WAS TALK ABOUT THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS. NATURALLY THIS IS THE CASE BECAUSE IT IS NAMED AFTER THE FOUNDER OF THE TEAM, BUT I HAVE FOUND THE CHIEF TO HAVE BRANCHED OUT.

ANOTHER FABULOUS BLOGSITE IS ELGARF MISCELLANYhttp://ELGARFMISCELLANY.BLOGSPOT.COM. ELGARF IS ONE VERY INTERESTING MAN, WHO IS REALLY INTELLIGENT. PLEASE VISIT BOTH THE CHIEF'S AND ELGARFS SITES.

THE KINGS ROOM

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FROM MANY PEOPLE REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH A WEBSITE THAT I AM AFFILIATED WITH. THIS SITEhttp://kingroom.com deals with movies and all sorts of things related to movies.

I have spoken to Paul Laytom, of LAYTOM/GANZ llc, the owner of the company that runs this website. He wants those of you with complaints to email him at kingroom@comcast.net. It is because of these issues that makes this website to be rather weak.

Mr Laytom is also aware that he grammatically challenged, and he is working with others to make sure that these grammatical issues are corrected.

RIP MAYOR

LAST TUESDAY, THE MAYOR OF HAMMONTON, NJ PASSED AWAY. HIS NAME WAS ANTHONY INGEMI, AND HE WAS A GREAT MAN.

EVERY JUNE IN HAMMONTON THEY HAVE THE RED WHITE AND BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL, AND MAYOR INGEMI WOULD BE THERE AND HE WOULD GREET EVERYBODY BY NAME AND HE WAS JUST A GOOD PERSON TO BE WITH.

AT HIS VIEWING ON FRIDAY EVENING, THERE WERE OVER 4000 PEOPLE THERE. I WAS HAPPY AT THIS, BUT I REALLY THOUGHT THAT MORE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP FROM HIS EMPLOYER, AS BEING A MAYOR IS ONLY A PART TIME JOB.

ANTHONY, YOU WILL BE MISSED.

I'm Back

TO ALL THAT MISSED ME, I WILL BE POSTING MORE FREQUENTLY.

Sunday, January 13, 2008

BINGO ALL THE WAY

LAST NIGHT I WENT WITH MR GANZ AND MR LAYTOM OF LAYTOM/GANZ LLC TO A BINGO ARCADE. I HAVE GONE WITH THEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO THIS PARTICULAR JOINT, THAT IS RUN BY A MAN NAMED MARIO, AND HIS FAMILY. UNFORTUNATELY MARIO WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE LAST NIGHT, BUT HIS GRANDDAUGHTER WAS, AND TO SEE MR LAYTOM OGLE OVER A 16 YEAR OLD MADE ME LAUGH THE NIGHT AWAY. MR LAYTOM LIKES THEM YOUNG, BUT AGAIN I TOLD HIM ABOUT AN OLD FRIEND BENJAMIN MARDONES, AND HIS INTO THE NIGHT SCENERIO.

LATER ON THAT NIGHT MR LAYTOM WON AT THE HORSESHOE, AND THIS CAUSED MR GANZ TO HAVE A CANIPTION, BECAUSE MR GANZ WAS JEALOUS OF THE FACT THAT MR LAYTOM WON $30.00. I WAS GLAD FOR MR. LAYTOM BECAUSE HE WAS ESTATIC.

Mr Omalley's Top 10 List

Mr OMalley is proud to announce that his top and bottom 10 list is now posted athttp://kingroom.com, and can be viewed there. Mr Omalley is 100% in agreement with Chief Rooney, that SUPERBAD is bad. That is why Mr Omalley is proud to announce it as his worst film of the year.

BACKER UP 2

TODAY I RETURNED TO WORK AND I SAW THAT ASSHOLE WHO BACKED INTO ME. YOU CAN SENSE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN WE PASS IN THE HALLWAY, BUT I AM SURE THAT ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THIS ASSHOLE DID NOT BACK UP INTO A SPOT AT 5A.M. IN THE MORNING WHEN THERE IS ICE ON THE GROUND

happy New Year

Happy New Year to all that read my OMALLEYVIEWS. I have recently signed a deal with LAYTOM GANZ LLC. They operate consumer friendly websites. One of those http://kingroom.com/ deals with the film industry. Mr Omalley is proud to announce his association with this fine website, and with LAYTOM GANZ LLC. which is run by two people who I comment on at Omalleyviews. They are Paul Laytom, and Joe Ganz.
