HUCKSTER

What does that word conjure up to you? Sounds like a word you might hear in an old Western Movie. Maybe something such as “get over here you dusty old Huckster”. I’ve heard of huckleberry, I believe there was a cartoon called Huckleberry Hound. Huckleberry sounds as if some ignorant ignoramus made up a word, oh wait one sec, I heard huckleberry used in a movie and we all know they wouldn’t make anything up in a movie. Doc Holiday tells the bad guy, and I haven’t forgotten because I found that line hilarious. Here it is the big gunfight and Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday says “I’ll be your huckleberry”. Now had Doc Holiday said “I’ll be your Frickleberry”, I would of completely understood the line. Give it the redneckish feel of today’s world and it sounds better. 

                Oh, oh, oh it just hit me like lightning. It’s most common today, to add ster to your first name. Jimster, Hankster, Glenster, Timster, Robster, Paulster, Abester, Obamaster, Hillaryster, Billy Bobster. I went a wee bit too far, Huckster does have a nice ring to it though if I only understood what the frickster it meanster…

                I’ll quit messing with you. You’ll think me a trickster! The Dictionarister says, a peddler or one engaged in advertising. WHAT? One engaged in advertising! This justster keeps getting better and better! I completely understand the word peddler as in one who sells small stuff, as in old fashioned times. I believe the more modern word is crookster or thiefster but I’m confusing myself! Oh, oh, oh, is that where the word Confuscious comes from as in confusing one’s self, because I’m plumster confusedster!!! Hey, I kinda like that name. I’m gonna change my name to Plumster Confusedster, after all I’m plump, old, and am confused a lot.

                Now what have we learned here today boys and girls in Myster’s neighboehood? (Your thinkin, did he misspell that on purpose or not?) I’ll let you wonster about that!

YOU KNOW I’M HAVIND SO MUCH FUN WRITING THIS HUCKSTER OF A POST I JUST WISHED I HAD SOMETHING TO SELL YOU-STERS OUT THERE-STER…

                Okay, okay, okay, let’s get down and dirty. When you mention the word advertising it brings me back to REALITY! I absolutely hate, one more time HATE advertising, advertisers, hucksters. Can you actually get a degree from a real College with a major in Advertising? I think a degree in Huck-steering would be more appropriate. The same College that gives degrees in Advertising must be the same College that gives degrees in P.R. What does that stand for “Pubic Relations”? They sure sell the frick-steering, huck-steering, crap-steering to us. These Huckleberry Hounds play us like a cheap fiddle. If-un them lame brains can come up with it, they actually think they can sell it. They think we are all, the dumb and dumber typesters!!!  

 THANKS, AS ALWAYS FOR VISITING GLEN VIEW. IF-UN YOU AIN’T HAVING ANY FUNSTER OR FEEL LIKE YOU’RE LOSING YOUR BRAINSTER, I’LL HELP YA FINISH IT OFF-STER.
