I’m picturing Trace Adkins and company from the Lincoln Lawyer as the Hells Angels.

This was at the Sheetz right in Greensburg, where I would stop for a drink when going to see Mom.

Between double feature movies in the 50’s, we often watched The Three Stooges in jocular shorts.

Good you were wearing clothing. Not familiar with the brand Ular. Sounds sketchy.

The Stooges were always full of jacularity.

One pun for another.

DEAD MOUSE

He responded to someone last night and said that “some things are best not hashed out on twitter.” Which is the only comment I have seen him make about her behavior.

I take that to mean it’s not a publicity stunt of some sort, but more like a breakdown.

She can’t help it she’s handicapped by being on central time. ;-)

LOL! And it is more of a handicap than you might think. Especially since I have lots of West Coast relatives and friends, and 3 of my children are on Eastern time. It always seems to be the wrong time to call. Too early; too late.

She tweeted a couple hours ago apologizing for the blocks and weird tweets and saying she’s taking a short vacation.

Our neighbors had three clocks set at different times in their kitchen. Oldest daughter was on west coast with the her clock clearly marked. Their son was a Navy doctor stationed in Guam with his clock clearly marked. The third was their own time. I got a kick out of it, but the system worked for them.
