“To those suffering with the unbearable pain of obnoxiously high bank balances or low-back pain from sitting on overstuffed wallets. I say forget waiting for Congress to do something. Let’s act now!”

FROM LUDITE
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.
Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not ……. a Congress! I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington ! A Congress of Baboons!

Clearly an insult to baboons everywhere.
ROFL!
Now what “anthropomorphic collective nouns” to outraged taxpayers?
The Tea Party?

Interesting? The first question I ask every time is “what’s the roi?”. Is that too dumb? I rode by pton airport. Always wanted to fly; Frau nixed that. Now, while it might be “fun”, and a fast way to catch up with her, what would be my roi?

FROM MY OLDER FRIEND’S DAUGHTER
*** begin quote ***
I met a fairy today who said she would grant me one wish.
“I want to live forever,” I said.
“Sorry,” said the fairy, “I’m not allowed to grant wishes like that!”
“Fine,” I said, “then I want to die after Congress gets their heads out of their asses!”
“You crafty bastard,” said the fairy.
*** end quote ***
ROFL!
(She knows my warped sense of humor. As if Congress could actually accomplish anything, like getting their head place anywhere, in the first place.)

FROM FRAU’S HS CHUM (She’s evil!)
*** begin quote ***
So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day….
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning and welcome to Walll-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or stupid?’
So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am, I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wall-Mart.’
My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work…
*** end quote ***
ROFL!

Hot enough to….
by asclepius
Yummy! Bake cookies in a car? You betcha! In Amarillo, the temperatures have soared to over 100 degrees, and about 200 degrees in a closed car. Brittany Nunn of the Amarillo Globe-News baked chocolate chip cookies in her car. They took quite a while to bake, but the car smelled wonderful afterward…

Don’t let a good heat wave go to waste!

No future for Chicago pork belly contracts
By Gregory Meyer in New York
*** begin quote ***
Since then, the bacon business has changed, with consumers eating more year-round, requiring less need for cold storage and so less need to hedge the frozen meat for sale in summertime.
“People don’t put bellies into storage the way that they did. It’s all fresh bellies these days,” Mr Lothian said.
*** end quote ***
ROFL!
Guess the free market moves on.

Recently, I heard that CornPops were being discontinued.
So, of course, I bought a box before they were gone.
I remember Saturday mornings, 6 decades ago, sitting with my bowl of SurarPops and watching Andy Devine tame the West.
Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy.
Sigh

Even if you don’t use gmail. Even if you don’t use email. Even if you don’t like yourself.
I found this little video very “fun”.
For some reason, it made me smile.
Maybe it was the music.
