It makes me giggle, too.
That or the fruity, colorful Coors Lights I’ve been drinking are making me giggle.
And I’m not even in an airplane!
The Dude Abides...
A+humble, as we call him at times... ;-)
I saw your movie!
I’ve had to be tied to a horse, too.
High praise, indeed!
I like yours, too.
Nobody solves mysteries like you!
A hard boiled detective who secretly has a heart of gold.
I like a good gumsock or soft shoe tale.
violin!
Another delightful essay by our resident M.C. Escher of wordsmithing
I still think you should let your son try for Miss Oregon. He will be a hit and guaranteed at least second place, and most likely would win outright, unless he has competition from another transgender in the competition.
Man, he was in a fight with the sailor guy the other day and the insults were flying like monkeys in the Wizard of Australia.
I wrote a bunch of them down.
I didn’t understand some of them.
The Navy Guy was really using some nautical language.....really nautical.
Humblegunner hung right in there.
It was like Ali versus Frasier with Eddy as the referee.
Oh.
I see now.
I was thinking about the girl, Miss Oregon, but you were thinking that I wanted him to enter a beauty pageant.
I get it.
No.....no......
He’s a handsome lad. Takes after his father.
As a matter of fact, he could probably be in that male dancing group The Chippedbeefontoasts.
Great post! Thanks for the smiles! :-)
You stumped the chump with that reference.
I had to look it up.
Seems he was famous for “tassleation”.
I guess he invented those little ball things held by string to curtains.
I’m no curtain artist, but thanks.
MORE! MORE! MORE! Please!
(You make my donation to FR worthwhile.)
Thanks, bagster.
That gesture comes from Hawaii.
It means “Get Me Another Beer, Can’t You See My Hand Is Empty!”
I picked up a lot of their culture.
LOL
Good job.
Next Rodney Dangerfield.
This was so stupid. I was searching for that article on winter wheat. Had to read your entire screed to figure out that the keyword “agriculture” probably referred to your bean joke.
OMG - LOL out loud!
(Just teasing - I liked it.)
Well, nobody could write like you, Mark.
I was a bit surprised to see how you came up with that name, “Mark Twain”.
I read that on the old paddlewheels, there was a guy who had to measure how deep the water was.
He’d throw a line with a weight on it over the side and then look at how far up the water went on the line. Then he would call out,
“Whose great idea was this to try and look to see how wet a rope is?”
And, somehow, you got your name from that.
Another history mystery.
I have written several articles about Winter Wheat.
My best was, at least I think so,
“Winter Wheat: A Tricky Name Or Do You Have To Put Skis On The Tractor?”
I almost won an academy award or something with it.
Thank you!
I see that you are a Packer fan.
I always remember what Coach Lombardi used to say,
“Winning isn’t every.....somebody wake Hornung up! That guy could sleep through a war.”
I saw my first Packer at age 13, Milwaukee County Stadium.
Coach Lombardy also said: “Second place is the first loser.”
Thanks Judy.
Do you live by Denver?
I went there one time.
Motown City!
