In the valley of the jolly (ho ho ho) ...

Oh, sorry. Hard to let that last thread go.

I'm glad we got Mighty Mouse in there.

"Heeeere I come, to save the daaaay!" Didn't really care for the toons that much (poor cats!) but liked the mouse.

"I wish I was an Oscar Meyer wiener..."

They'rrrrre Grrrreeat! (Tony)

If we're going to commercials, alas, there's an infinite number of jingles, decades' worth, lodged in my noggin, from back in the three-networks, endless-repeats days.

"Over, under, arou-ou-ound and through
Pall Mall delivers the fla-a-vor to you"

And, IIRC, Kirk never actually said "Beam me up, Scotty."

Not so sure, but I don't think Gracie ever responded to "Say good night, Gracie," with, "Good night, Gracie!"

RoadRunner: Tish! You spoke French!

Oh, yes. That was a good one.

Having now read the comments...

Seems t'me, by the guidelines CBD set out, the following are disqualified:

Movie lines
Commercials
Opening or closing credits, narration, or theme songs
One-off lines, no matter how memorable
Shows not drama or comedy, like SNL, Ed Sullivan, or Laugh-in
Anything CBD already mentioned in the post

Of course, that's 95% of what's been mentioned. And, who cares? It's such a lame-ass "topic" anyway. But the horde is so easily led inspired.

Mind if I ignore the "topic"? Since "Would you believe..." and "Missed it by that much!" have already been mentioned...

From Political Hat, who may link to this hatself later, but I had to pass it along.

Bizarro World Problems:

Hey, everyone. Emily here. I'm kind of panicking and I don't know what to do. My son just came home from a friend's house and he says they had venison. He knows that I am a deerkin and I just really don't know what to do. I'm freaking out. I can't believe this happened. I don't know what to do, please help me : (

Oh, deer!

Ben Dover: Don't think she's Hollywood. Unless you include porn stars in that category.

Don't know anything about her, other than the article called her a "reality show" star. I should've just said something like "pop culture celebrities." But, Hollywood for shorthand.

J.J. Sefton: ...most actors today have the intellectual agility of a used tooth brush...

News you can use (from my Entertainment newsfeeds):

Tila Tequila... Twitter rant.... insisted that the Earth is flat - and that she was made immortal to save the world.

"It's 2016 & nobodys been able 2 prove 2 me that the earth is round. Where is the curvature in the horizon?"

"If the earth was a spinning globe then how come airplanes can still land w/out crashing?"

I always take my political, social, and scientific views from Hollywood stars!

Speaking of which, a childhood friend of Milady's, noted comedienne, is a "serious" HuffPo regular now. I finally dl'd one of her columns, about Obama's gun control thing. I read a little of it, but felt brain damaged in just a few sentences. Made Tequila's rant seem brilliant.

Headline from the Norman OK Transcript:

Record incarceration rate not producing safer Oklahoma

Um... is that how it's supposed to work? Seems like playing with statistics to me.

We're at least safer from those who are incarcerated.

Anna Puma: Didn't Philly have some kind of black cult and well the whole building burned down around them?

Not just "building burned down," but bombed by (IIRC) helicopter.

I remember it especially because it took away the distinction, at the time, of North Tulsa having been the only American city to have been bombed from the air. (Race riots, 1929, bombed by private citizens from S Tulsa.)

Ah! Just started snowing here in NE OK. Big, fat flakes, too. Pretty. So far.

Supposed to get anywhere from a dusting to an inch. Which means, who knows.

I'll try some of yours, Mama AJ!

This coffee, some store brand, doesn't taste as good as our usual beans.

I don't usually adulterate my morning brew, but, ugh, I'm thinking about it.

Regardless of the origins of Jew-hatred, it does seem a convenient thing.

People who are smart enough to know how to work hard, save money, and invest wisely are always detested by those who are lazy, confused about budgeting, and jealous of worldly success.

Jews as a rule have been prudent financially, which the ignorant consider unscrupulous and mercenary.

As Vic's history item shows, this makes killing them and taking their stuff, for whatever excuse, a handy, if short-term, source of wealth for the lazy and unwise.

Armchair analysis from an ignorant non-historian.

Vic: Obama has vetoed the Republican partial repeal of Obamacare and defunding of PP which the Republicans previously funded.

FIFY.

I suspect that the MFM alphabets will not cover this.

Don't know about the others, but I heard it on the local Fox radio news channel last night.

And I was shocked, shocked, to find out he had vetoed it. Totally unexpected!

Morning, Glories!

Not only did I just have the best, most solid night's sleep I've had in probably a week, but...

I just woke up from a long, convoluted, bizarre, but ultimately satisfying dream where, in short, Hillary Clinton was arrested for the kidnapping of Donald Trump.

Election year dreams - never had that before!

Popping back in to say...

Me: "I avoid licking the carpet. "
Ricardo Kill: Wut?

Got home, kicked off my shoes, and only then did it hit me. What you apparently saw immediately took me over half an hour to realize what I'd teed up. Yeesh! (IIKWYMAITTID.)

♥ oh! annnd... ♥

Sherry: ...if we ever do meet up in real life, you have to promise not to tell the Horde all about me.

Huh. My thought had been somewhat the reverse, that you not tell them about me! But I hope we shall have a chance, even this year. I'll wear my good loafers.

Good night ^2, Gracies.
