As mentioned a few days ago, there will be some "Bo Lumpkins" items published on this blog for a week or two while its author goes through surgery and recovery. After he returns, visit his site which is listed on my main page.
The Giant has gotten a restraining order to keep Jack and the Beanstalker away.
I decided to become a genieologist by collecting antique lamps.
A news item a couple of weeks ago said some of the pirates had drowned with their share of the ransom. This gives new meaning to drowning in money.
Congress has oversight on the bailout money. Some is over here, some is over there. But it is all out of sight.
I believe we can do away with "waterboarding" and still get the same results. We should get all of the political ads run over the past year put onto DVD's for continuous play and leave them on throughout the prisoner's waking hours. The other option is having the prisoners ingest GoLytely-used before a colonoscopy to cleanse the system (with the nearest rest room 50 yards away). The latter can only be appreciated by those who have been there.
American automakers have been asked to install ejection seats in all cars beginning this year. This is to allow the taxpayers to bailout if the car companies go back asking for more.
Do pollsters count?
Shouldn't Jack and Jill have gone down the hill to fetch the pail of water?
Rhetorical question: Do you really believe that Franken and Coleman (still fighting for the MN Senate Seat) are so altruistic that they have been fighting for 3 months at the cost of millions just to represent us? (If you do believe so I have some bridges to sell you)
Martial arts were introduced in early TV westerns. A number of the stars had sidekicks.
The National Association of Bald Men will meet in Combs, KY.
The governor of Illinois is being impeached. We the voters/taxpayers need a means of impeaching or removing congressional members (even if they are not from our state). When you review the incompetence of some there now they shouldn't be there.
A new, upscale, restaurant chain is opening that will only play classical music and serve reptile delicacies-The Outbach Snake House.
If I " beat a dead horse" can I by charged with animal cruelty?
Two of the 3 places I served while in the Army no longer exist: West Germany, and South Viet Nam. I hope the same fate doesn't befall my final service location-Texas.
A snitch in time saves crime.
regarding jack and jill, obviously the water was at the top. if they had fallen headed down the hill with a pail of water, can you even imagine the lawsuits against the pail makers and the water association. no, it was much better this way. and if jill hadn't been hanging all over him she wouldn't have tumbled after him and he might not have fallen either. This way there is no evidence that would hold up in court that water was the reason they were going up the hill.

ReplyDeletedon't know where you live but down here in Mississippi a snitch in crime becomes a victim in time

ReplyDeleteWith all the legalese in the responses, my writing pails or pales in comparison.
thanks for not mentioning that I only commented on the nursery rhymes. Some of your stuff is a little over my head, but I do enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteI would expect it to be over your head. I am 6'2".

Tommie is having surgery at 7:30 Wednesday morning. tomorrow. (unless a bypass has to go before him) it is expected to last 2 1/2 hours. That's provided the hospital is on schedule.
ReplyDeleteDr said moderate risk.
I'll let you know when I hear something
