The PETA panjandrums are tying up court time with this?

Court to decide if SeaWorld whales are illegal 'slaves'

Have you ever asked yourself “If Downton Abbey ran on Spike TV, what would the promos look like?”

Haha - thanks for the info. I think, after hearing the way the “Spike generation” would describe Downton I wish to go back to that time more than ever and NOT devolve to this level. ;^)

That’s the one I meant! Driving off in the fancy car. I just thought she was out to spend his money shopping, but your interpretation is better.

she’s shacked up in her love-nest somewhere when the college aged daughter whines to the dad, my computer isn’t working, LETS GO BUY A NEW ONE!

Barack, the ridiculos panjandrum
Believed when they told him that he’s the one
Each speech is a bore
He’s worse than Al Gore
My three year-old muttered, “That tan man dumb!”

I hate those commercials for PC Matic-I don’t know any family whose members want to rush to the store-like the dad and kid want to do-most of us do some troubleshooting ourselves, then call a friend who repairs computers before we go to the store or to an online repair site.

And what the hell is “girls’ night out”?

New scene.
Exterior of Jerry’s apartment building, then inside Jerry’s apartment.

JERRY: What else did you two do?

ELAINE: Oh, I don’t know, you know, girlie stuff.

JERRY: Ah, so, ah, flower shows and, shopping for pretty bows, and then back to her place, strip down to bra and panties for a tickle fight?

(Elaine stands there for a good 6 seconds with arms crossed, blank expression, just looking at Jerry)

ELAINE: That’s really what you think girls do, isn’t it?

JERRY: Yes, I do. (very serious)

ELAINE: All rightee. (turns and walks to the bathroom)

I’m tired of the panjandrum
The drive-by media has created
Of Obama and Michelle Antoinette-
They are so vastly overrated

Michelle wants kids on a diet
While her ass is getting fatter-
I’m sure she knows we notice this
But to her it doesn’t matter

King Obama attacks religion
And thumbs his nose at the Pope-
I guess his ego don’t accept that
He just gave himself enough rope...

Oh, good grief-It is plain to see that Jerry has seen too many softcore flicks.

More likely-shopping for gardening stuff or groceries then a glass of wine or a beer and talking about what foolish stuff guys do...
