Pollination
Pollination is certainly working everywhere around me including within the blogging and meme area. Marzie of Mariuca Wishing Upon A Falling Star tagged me to participate in four memes. I was also tagged by Rozella of Asian Mutt International for one of the same four. You will find that particularly funny one at the bottom of the post. My many thanks to both of you for thinking of me. I am especially proud to take part in this first meme because it is one that has been designed to get the word out to ban cluster bombs and help hungry starving people all over the world. So here we go with my four meme Monday.
Below are the links of a few organizations that benefit the hungry people of the world. You can play your part and contribute by playing a game, clicking to feed, donating, signing a petition, purchasing items on the website and etc. The purpose of this tag is to spread the word on these wonderful sites by linking to them and encouraging your readers to help the hungry in any way possible. Please tag at least five other bloggers and please add on to the list if you know of any other organization that focuses on this issue.
And no Marzie I don't think you are the last. I am running way behind. But as you stated, "Better late than never"! So I truly do hope that everyone that drops in today will take just a second and give a little click.
I have just visited The Hunger Site to do my part in feeding the hungry today. You too can give FREE food to the world's hungry just by clicking a button. All you have to do is visit the site and click the yellow "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button.
While you're at the Hunger Site please also take the time and click to help save The Rain Forest, Support Breast Cancer, Animal Rights, oh just click all of the buttons, it only takes a minute to help so many. Also AVAAZ is a very very important issue globally but you will have to click to see what it is.

Funny Lyrics Tag
Ha, now for the fun. I have the probably one of the strangest and ridiculous songs picked out for this one that I have ever heard. I doubt if many have ever heard it and if they have they probably have forgotten it. It is a country song written by Neal Merrit and made famous by Little Jimmy Dickens in 1965. I actually only know this because of Walter. He is the one that is old enough to remember it...Tee-Hee!
The Bird Of Paradise
One fine day as I was walkin' down the street
Met a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket,
In his tin cup I did drop it And I heard him say as I made my retreat.
cho: May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
May an elephant caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
I was way behind one day to catch a train
Taxi driver, "said we'll make it just the same"
But a speed cop made it with us
And as he wrote out the ticket I stood by politely waitin' for my change.
CHORUS
Well, my laundry man is really on his toes
Found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me, I came runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
And I heard him sayin' as I turned to go.
cho: May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
May an elephant caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
You may find the video here at YouTube if you dare?

I have no clue how anyone ever came up with a song like this or why? But, I don't think the guy was having a very good day. Whew, finally I am all done. And, I am not going to tag anyone. But, I do so hope that everyone that stops in today will at least click the top buttons and help with so many critical issues. And, maybe you too will find it in your heart to at least do the top tag also. After all, I did provide you with a little entertainment in hopes of luring you to participate. Feeding the hungry and getting cluster bombs banned are incredible issues so please help.

By the way I was so excited to actually capture the bee as he was feeding and passing along the pollen so that next spring there will be even more beauty. It's my first shot to actually capture nature in the act of reproduction.

OMG!!!! Hahahaha I'm listening to the song right now on Youtube and it's hilarious! It's pretty catchy actually. I've got the chorus memorized already! Hahaha
Good one Jackie!
Hola Jackie! Ha ha ha..you did all the memes and even Rozella's one! Your song does have really weird funny lyrics, I still dunno what song to choose for this tag.
Oh I noticed that meme-mime part too lol.. and I've added ur Japanese name to my list, thanks for playing along Zukamimekiku! Drop us a line when u get to San Diego! :):):)
The Japanese name meme is funny. hehe...
I'm so touched by your messages and prayers for my son. My family and I are very grateful. Thank you. :)
Whew,,,Dp...you too? My goodness just getting all of these done nearly injured me.:-)
Oh no Rozella,
Have you really? It was actually qite the hit when it was rleased.
Although I am not too fond of the ols C&W sound....LOL..too funny for you:-)
Will do Marzie if I can. Once we hit California I am confined to the front seat absolutely while we are rolling.
They are very strict and just love to give big trucks tickets!!
Cheerio as LJ would say:-)
Oh my ECL it is the least that I can do.
I a just waiting for the day that you post the good news!!
Still keeping you and your son in my thoughts and prayers!!:-)
Wow! Wow! Wow! If pollination is, a part of that red color, comes from Malaysia. Maybe, from Rawang. I recognized the redness. Simply an awesomely beautiful picture. Wow!
The rockstar is by nickleback, not nicklehead...hope this helps you...
Hi, dropped by to say thank you for the vote. I would lo love to drop by all your cool blogs eventually. Happy blogging.
Oh Zubli,
I was so excited to get this picture!!
I was simply beaming. I am really getting into this photo stuff.
I took a ton of pictures today and I hope they turned out!!:-)
LOL...Kim, by the time I got done with all of these it's a wonder I didn't put Knucklehead!!:-)
Hi Jena,
Thanks so much for dropping in. This is my only blog though.
The other one is going to be for my awards if I ever get around to doing it!!:-)
Dear Shinade, is this flower Flame Of The Forest?
I don't know...but, we can call it that!! I think that's a fabulous name!!
Do you have such in Malaysia?
Dear Shinade, the lovely picture you post here, well we have similar in Malaysia. Especially in our forests. It is known as, Flame Of The Forest. But, now, most are planted in lines along various road sides. So, I suppose, it is no longer Flame Of The Forest. Since 1994, I call em, Flame Of The Forrest Gump. LOL!!!
Walter and me are both laughing out loud hysterically!!
That's a good one...Flame of The Forrest Gump..LOL!!!
You know Shinade, for a couple in love in a vehicle so OD, hysterical laughters must be distinctive. Here is a suggestion, one sitting next to the other holding the steering wheel, can do so, even with water out mouth and eyes, and body earthquake shaking. Well, as for the one with moustache (how to speel), the non kiss giving one holding the steering wheel, hysterical laughter is allowed, provided eyes not closed, more than 3 minutes. LOL!!!
Oh yes the California D.O.T. would really love that.
LOLZ....I am always at the computer or hanging out the window taking pictures.
Kissing is good but sometimes not as often as we would like.
It is a very stressful thing to be going up, down, and through some very mountainous terrain....long steep grades...and also going through large cities.
Especially when you your load requires that you take up two lanes.
You have many people get very angry with you. They use a lot of finger and hand gestures that do not mean peace...LOLZ!!:-)
Dear Shinade, I understand. On a trip like this blogging and taking pictures shall be nice when you are sitting comfortable on a gyro seat. As for Walter, seeing all that gestures that do not mean peace, please sing Willie Nelson's On The Road Again, and smile, coz you are on Candid Camera! (wink!)
Wow! You really did do all those tags. I feel so ashamed for not doing all of mine ... LOL!
Safe trip Shinade!
Oh Zubli you think you are joking...LOL!!! But here and in many of our border states it's not such a joke...hehehe!!
They have cameras placed all along the road and are taking pictures of you as you are driving.
And if they see you unbuckled or catch you speeding via camera...you get mighty big fine here in California and Arizona!!:-)
Hey Nick,
It's so good to see you here....it put a big big smile on my face.
And yes...I really did do all four. Whewwwwww...I was some sleepy by the time I finished too!!
See you soon!!:-)
P.S. and you should too...LOL...just joking!!
Yes Shinade, Zukamimekiku...I understand. I wish I can be famous in California and Arizona, if only they can take a lot of pictures of me riding my huge tires bicycles, while carrying a few rattle snakes. (wink!) LOL!!!
