He who laughs last, laughs the longest, but, the one laughing longest, would definitely not be the Agelast.

Comedy and Tragedy, recalled from ages past
Plays and skits, renewed with each new acting cast
Amusing lines are overemphasized
With rolling eyes and sly asides
forcing at last a chuckle, from the aging agelast.

Third. Good thing I had my brain working yesterday. I took it out and used it for something, like a wee rhyme about Algore:

The democrat George Bush surpassed,
Is a fetid and dim agelast,
No rebuilt visage,
Can fix his image,
Not even old Thomas Nast.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. FIERRO!

My favorite Etta James song:

Agelast, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Morning!

Queen Hillary is such an agelast
She doesn't show any humor
But rather sees conspiracy
In each and every rumor

She really hasn't changed much
Since her past first lady days
She's still as rude and arrogant
And still has snooty ways

I'll bet that she won't tolerate
Someone looking her in the face
And that she still throws ashtrays
When X42 forgets his place

I'm leaving early with the intention of taking off work early-back later...

We don't have Wegman's here-I wish we did have another grocery chain to give HEB some competition.

i tell you, other than Wegmans, i find that grocery stores in NoVA are inferior to those elsewhere. for example, Warren, Ohio. I have gone to the store with xsSIL and been astounded at how many more brands they sell per item, and they always have the new products much quicker than we do. i don't get it, as noVA is a major metro area and they really are not.

Good Morning!

I try to be agelastic, but it's a stretch.

When did you become prolife? xshub and i were not always prolife, and very likely for the very reason that Fred Barnes posits, because we didn't have to think about abortion in concrete terms. Once a woman experiences pregnancy, i don't know how she can NOT be prolife. it is so clearly LIFE within you. i can't pin it down to a particular moment, but certainly within the first few years of marriage and definitely by the time i had the first miscarriage.

The lines by his lips drooping down,
Knitted brow in perpetual frown,
From the agelast's birth
He's shown no signs of mirth—
Yet he's worked all his life as a clown.
