I think Homer Simpson is America’s greatest living intellectual...well living in a kind of manner, sort of.

Love your tag line. Nicknamed Bob is a genius.

[Not A Snowbird]

Mmmmm...

Now I need cookies.

[Monkey Face]

I’m making a batch right now. When I’m done, they look like this (#652) But taste and smell better!

:hold still while I get the last of those ugly things off your back:

*SMACK*

There. That oughta do it!

[Not A Snowbird]

Thanks!

I should know better than to get involved any thread having “McCain” in the title.

[Monkey Face]

Which is why I mostly hang out here, unless I get pinged. Then I’m really careful, and tend to be an ostrich at the slightest indication of “trouble.”
I keep shooting my mouth off like a blow torch in a fireworks factory...

[Not A Snowbird]

These days the most offhand remark will get sixteen immediate kneejerk replies, all antagonistic and challenging. Now and then somebody will agree with me (rare), but it’s mostly just a group of overly sensitive, jilted voters spoiling for a fight.

No thank you. I’ll stay with the zombie and cookies.

[Monkey Face]

Wise choice!

We have more fun, here, anyway, and can discuss things without frothing at the mouth.

*HUG*

[Not A Snowbird]

I suppose I should go back to work now.

It’s one of those excrutiatingly slow days... nobody’s here, and I have another hour to go.

Zzzzzzz.....

Later!

[Monkey Face]

Hang in there! You know we’re here, with hot cocoa and warm cookies! (And hugs!)

Nicknamed Bob is a genius.

Indeed he is -- and humble to boot.

[sionnsar]

It’s been pretty intense here, but suddenly work items are falling off the plate helter-skelter in every direction. Or something like that.

[rottndog]

Well, it’s been rather unintense here. I’m fighting off the urge for a nap, after 4 pounds of barbecued carne asada. The leather couch beckoning me from 6’ away is not helping any.

[NicknamedBob]

"Nicknamed Bob is a genius."

"Indeed he is -- and humble to boot."

I'd like the opportunity to defend myself. I have long maintained that I never take an IQ test, because that way I can accurately state that my IQ can not be measured.

Besides, I'm working on advanced degrees in "coot" and "crank" now.

[Monkey Face]

So. It was YOU who ate my share....
A nap is the least you deserve!

[Monkey Face]

What happened to “curmudgeon?” I thought that was your next goal?

[NicknamedBob]

"What happened to “curmudgeon?” I thought that was your next goal?"

I found out I could get a degree in that by sending in ten bucks.

Idiots. That would just prove I wasn't!

[Monkey Face]

Any time you have to pay for something like that, you know it’s over-priced..

[Tax-chick]

NicknamedBob defies description. In a good way, of course.

Thomas Sowell is in his 70’s, so the position of Greatest Living Intellectual will be open for new contenders, eventually.

[Kolokotronis]

“Besides, I’m working on advanced degrees in “coot” and “crank” now”

Coot is good. It puts me in mind of my college days. Times were hard. We were down to one servant and our limo was the oldest in the street. Our driver had long since been pensioned off. Anyway, when we got hungry we’d go down to the cottage and go coot hunting out on the ocean. Now the coot is the basic ingredient of a fine meal. You shoot a coot or two, pluck, gut (use a bread bag over your hand and simply reach into the body cavity and pull out the guts. Reverse the bag, twist tie and throw away) and place them in a ten quart pail full of water with a large brick. Place the pail over a high fire and boil off the water, repeat six times. Throw away the coot and eat the brick with lemon wedges and pita bread. MMMMMMMMMMM; good eating, good times!

[Monkey Face]

Eh?
