The Walter Miller Home Page. It's an oldie but a goodie. I was looking for stuff tonight and happened on the new location for it. I remember reading this stuff back in the 90's and laughing my ass off for hours at the time. The next day, I'd read some more and continue to laugh. I really enjoyed reading about grandpa and his collection of antique junk and some of his sayings and some of the things he did.
Here is an excerpt from the "about" page that will give you some idea of what the page is all about.
"Our home consists of a trailor, some outbuildings, a toolshed, asorted shacks, and 2 halfs of a moduler home that were never put together and sit 50 yards apart with plastic sheets drapped over the open parts. We live in the trailor-the other buildings house the varied colections of My granfather. He has 170,000 hupcaps which maybe the bigest colection in Texas. He also colects apliances, spark plugs, books, plumming fixures, beercans, Indian blankets, cooky tins, furnoture, glasware, old typwriters, bottles and car parts, plastic bags, coffe cans, antiques, trashcan lids of pre-World War 2 era, manhole covers, rusty tools, stufed animals, basebal cards, 55 galon drums and steyrofoam. These are just a small sample of his colectibles
Theyre stroon across the whole area like a junkyard. The county has come after him many times. He also has 14 dogs and dog crap is eveywhere. Also the stuffed animals and indian blankets are outside-when it rains they get rancid.
An average day of my pitifull Life
I get up in early morning to do my work. I do data entry from home for $6 a hour and transmit it to a companey a few hours away from where I live. What happens next is in no particular order. I feed the dogs. We have 14 of them and they get only vegetebles because granfather thinks it makes them lean & mean to attack anyone who will steal his colections. What it does do is make them skinny with patchy bald spots and crap a lot. Tomatos are a real problem. I shovel it all in big piles.
Then I wash the tobacco juice off the walls. ...
