Rex Harrison (Iberian precipitation song)

Good one, Gran.

I'm still back at Gran's birthdays. But y'all go on, I'll catch up... maybe...

Perils of Pauline: "originally in 20 episodes; only a 9-episode reduction survives today."

Really? That's a shame. Lost culture is lost. :/

>>Department of Homeland Security has granted the family "indefinite deferred status," their attorney confirmed to Fox News.

Well , there's good news.

I hope. With silver clouds these days, though, I immediately start looking for the dark lining. What will the Feds do to them next?

Still, VICTORY! Although not really because the way it works out is more "govt giveth and govt taketh away." May the tides turn.

#14 - "Transgender" no longer means butchered or even pre-op, just "self-identified" as something you're not. So it seems. Not necessarily even cross-dressing.

And then a false gang rape accusation.

Nope, no cry for help attention there.

In a way, that girl's story is the story of California. And Obama. And the Middle Class. (Did I overmeme?)

"Guess what, that iron curtain has seence moved west." FIFV

Ignore the tin man behind the iron curtain.

I was trying to sleep late for once, and then you guys started jabbering and woke me up.

Getting dressed in the Winter
Gets to be kind of a bummer.
On the whole I think I'd rather
Be running 'round nude in the Summer.

Morning, Glories. Thought I'd get that all out in my first comment... in case I never get to leave another one.

Smellovision!!

Plus, that snap of caps, in guns, hit with rocks, whatever.

I never had enough caps.

Gracias, Maetenloch.

Drive-by comment tonight. But watch out. I may lurk until I fall assleeeeee... eep.

To get the gal in trouble, no need to use good hash. Any old crap would do, right.

1972, or statute of limitations years ago, whichever applies, someone like me was living in lonely, desperate circumstances, when came a most surprising and welcome package by post, containing several fingers of fine black Afghani finger hash. (They looked like mummy fingers.) Never saw, or had, anything like that before or since. Not that there was much "since" after college days. Said somebody.

I weep for Afghanistan.

Flaming arrow into papier mache drone should send a message.
—Judge Pug

You know, the thought crossed my mind to blast said paper mache drone somehow, "but that would be wrong."

Flaming arrow would also still be wrong. But a much more creative thought than mine.

How about a real drone that flies into it and shreads it? That seems relatively within the realms of non-threatening. Still wrong, maybe, but, not as jailworthy.

You're a super weapon designed solely to kill the ultimate evil, nearly killed yourself by a band of renegade, illegal mercenaries, and you have a problem with war?
—RoyalOil

Ah, you know ... girls.

:O

Seriously tho, yr right. Always seemed a bit lame, but didn't think about it much. She was crying, and you know how that messes with a man's ability to think.

Just me or did that last thread drop dead in record time? There I was, babbling to myself in an empty hall again. Nice reverb, though.Could you hear me singing a bit of America the Beautiful?

"I wonder how many people who go to Mardi Gras actively participate in Lent anyway?"

Do not discount the "OMG what I did Tue night God forgive me I repent and promise to never do it again... at least 'til after Easter" factor.

Socks made with wind power??? I'm sure that not one watt of power being fed to the grid from those dirty anti-obama coal plants was used.
—Vic

Oh, goodness, no, Vic. That would be cheating. I'm sure it's just as Daughter & I imagined, a little farm-type windmill directly coupled to a mechanical sewing machine for minimal power-conversion loss.

215 That ten million dollars in gold coins discovered by a couple in Northern California? ... the government ... will helpfully take all of it. ...
—Sticky Wicket

They earned that the moment they mentioned the find to anybody.

Even w/o the gov't, wouldn't that find heavily skew the collectible value? Vs. letting a coin or two out every year or three...? Luck fell on the wrong folks. Again.

157 I can not believe that no-one has swiped this from Insty.

Didn't bother reading much of that article. When I go to the Whole Foods in Tulsa, I see Tulsans. Yes, a higher % of hipster doofuses, but not that angry stuff.

I'll mention again, my daughter was in WF, looking at some socks, and sighed. Some customer remarked about the prices, or something, and daughter replied, no, they're nice socks, but the label says they were made with wind power?

This gave her the springboard to end up educating three customers and an employee about windmills vs. eagles et al. What WF customers are mostly full of is ignorant idealism. And bean sprouts.

I submit Captain Hate's #153 as evidence that truly devastating insult can be ("turd" excepted) potty-mouth free. I'm not objecting to "bad language," per se. An appropriately-employed cussword can be a thing of beauty. Just admiring talented raging that could pass the "in front of my mother" test.

Help. They broke my arm. Egypt police
—Tami

Tweeting from Egyptian jail? Did they leave the phone-cell in the jail-cell on purpose? If so, clever use of social media!

Try the Mercury browser. —Gran

Appreciate the suggestion. Might be good for Carol. The highlight-copy thing is the least of my problems with the cell. I'm tied in to my ol' familiar browser, not tightly tied, but curmudgeonly-resistant. Not had a lot of luck when I go for hope & change.

No mention of the global warmists who chained themselves to the White House fence to tell Obama not to approve Keystone?

These idiots today make the 60s protesters look smart.

Flash: A giant ball of flame has just arisen over the eastern horizon.

Long shadows spread across the snowscape. Sun lights up the west sides of the tire ruts on the drive. Birds begin singing. Daytime! they sing. Warmer today! Snows will melt. Spring will come!
