Moggies, Da Mayor, and Maggies

Good Saturday morning! Lovely day in Cheddarland. Although, this kitty could use a home. Adopt people.

Hey, did you see the four year old Mayor of a small town in Minnesota, on the 'Today Show' this morning? What a cutie. His Mom put him in the race to promote her restaurant. Whodathunk? Guess that tells ya what we think of our present politicians. Believe me he could do no worse. Plus, he's dang cute. The reporter asked him what he wants to do as Mayor. He said, "Don't poke my eye out." Damn. if only our politicians were so cute and honest.

Okay, kids. It's Thingster Award time. It really was a easy choice. I have been a part of The Mag (Magpie Tales) for some time now. It's fun. It's challenging. And for the majority of participants, they are kind, witty, and wonderful people. I've joined a few poetry groups and wordle blogs in the past, but they almost seem snooty and rude if a new person joins. (Talkin' 'bout SundayWhirl, folks. I think I received one comment in the short time I was there where the snob said I sucked, basically. Worst think he ever read. I hate people like that) Not the Maggies, though. They seem to love new people and always welcome them into the club. A special thanks to Tess Kincaid who challenges us with a new prompt each Sunday. Join the club and have fun and read some great poetry!

To the Maggies!

 

The Tree Whistler

If this doesn't make you smile...

Eh? I see what you mean Ferrerman. I've got about six of my posts all in row. Ugh. Yeah. Technology. Pfffftttt...

Anyhoo... I saw these ducks this morning, and it reminded me of the old Mitch Hedberg skit.

Happy Friday.

 

Always Look On The Briiiiight Side of Life, Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Hmm... kind of slacking off over perusing news events. It's just too gorgeous to look at the dark side of life.

Today, we look at pretty...

 

 

 

 

That's My Impression of da World

Jeans and Bones

WTF!? This is not new news, folks. Abercrombie and Fitch have been stuck-up little weasels forever. Why are people up in arms (size xx) over a seven year old interview with the CEO, Mike Jeffries, who basically said... No. Not basically. He said he didn't want fat people wearing their brand. Only the cool kids should be so honored to wear overpriced crap.

So. Instead of screaming. Let's give him what he wants. Let the cool kids buy. Then let's see how long this stupid store stays in business.

[...] She told the court: “I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me.”

Supposedly, that is what Lauryn Hill said. I can't find the comment in any reliable news source, though.

But, if she did say such a thing. Shame on her. Black, white, blue, purple... We all have to contribute.

Such an imposition to be free to sing and sell a million records. Such hardship.

Yeah. I knew pterodactyls were still around.  Gonna catch a Yeti, tomorrow.

Making Amends

Father and daughter, bonding

Never held a gun in my life, and don't ever intend to. The closest I have gotten to one is when I was playing hide and seek with my sisters and hid in Mom and Dad's closet. The rifle was in plain view. Anyone could have grabbed it. And me. I was the nosey kid, who had to look at everything, but even then, I knew there was something sinister about that rifle. Never dated a man who liked to hunt, shoot, play with guns.

I will never understand it.



Cause and effect

Bravo, Angelina.

The Office. It has sucked for quite some time, but I am going to watch the final episode. Some characters just stay with you, have become a part of the family, so to speak. Although, I'll hide if Peter Griffin ever comes to my door.

I wonder if people got my Magpietale?

I was thinking about that AT&T commercial where the young kids whine how their juniors have it so good now. Damn. It's so funny. Old ladies, like myself, whine about the great stuff of yesteryear, such as, Slinkys (that broke within the hour) Easy Bake Oven (that could burn your house down) magic rubber bouncing balls and paddles with ball (weapons of mass destruction)

I picture in my head some old geezer bitching about just having a stick and a wheel to play with. And... they liked it.

Change is not a bad thing. I wonder why we fight it so much.

Let's start changing the Second Amendment, shall we?

Hit With A Tuba

"So, you wanna hot dog?"

"Are they Kosher?"

"Of course they're Kosher. It's the same kind they had yesterday, and the day before. For 46 years I ask you if you wanna hot dog."

"And what do I say?"

"Who knows. Someday, you may wanna hot dog."

"I don't wanna hot dog. You got the tickets?"

Of course I got the tickets. You don't trust me? Stick them in that suitcase you gotta carry around, then. 46 years, you ask me if I got the tickets."

"Pfffftttt."

"So. Mr. Heffernan from 4A is dead. Hmmm..."

"He is? What happened?"

"You told me this morning the guy from 4A died..."

"I said, 'He should have died from shame!' And it was Mr. Hoffman, from 5B. His wife walked in on him taking a bath with the Super. You could hear the tummel all the way to Hell's Kitchen, I bet."

"Hmmm... Didn't hear a thing."

"I should be surprised?"

"What's he doing now?"

"Who? Mr. Hoffman? How should I know."

"No, Bubbala. Our Grandson pointing that fancy phone at us."

"Says he needs us. He's gonna get hit with a tuba."

"Why's he laughing, then?"

"Look. He's waving. Wave back."

"Kids. So. You wanna hot dog?"
