It's about time!
I stayed at one of those fancy hotels one time and they left a stale mint on my pillow.
Okay. I messed up my first time on this computer, but I'm sure you cab read it. Good morning!
The cad said he wanted a fresh mate because he was tired of his stalemate.
Stalemate - the reason for a new girlfriend.
Billie Jeff's chases jailbait,
Web Hubbell's close to a whale's weight,
But Hillary's a shrew,
That despises the jews,
And to Bill she's naught but a stale mate.
I recall playing chess with my dad when I was a young'n. I considered a stalemate as a win, as he handily defeated me again and again. I accepted that I wasn't going to beat him, but a stalemate? He wasn't gonna beat me either. And then one day, a stalemate wasn't gonna cut it. I risky venture and I was able to capture his queen, and he resigned shortly thereafter. A lesson learned. Now, with all due respect, shouldn't the President be playing for a win against illegal immigration, instead of another damned mexican standoff?
Good Morning!
I can only appreciate a stalemate when I think I'm on the losing end.
Too bad politics doesn't offer a stalemate solution to a close election. Then we could all munch popcorn until the two stale politicians finished duking it out.
Stalemate?
Why? Ya lookin' fer one with more bread?
Iran, by all odds, is a failed state
Yet they've played the whole world to a stalemate
They're enriching uraniums
While the free world's best craniums
React at a pace that's a snail gait
Morning all
Home at last-
It appears the illegal marches
Didn't grap that much attention-
Only the lamestream media whores
Gave it more than just a mention
They want to whip up a frenzy-
They're bored with the stalemate
They'd be smarter to leave it alone
And not go tempting fate
If they keep playing race cards
And handing out koolaid to drink
The situation could get volatile
And they'll be blamed for causing a stink
1917 At Wrigley Field, southpaw Hippo Vaughn of Chicago and Reds righty Fred Toney throw no-hitters against one another through the first nine innings. The deadlock is broken in the top of the tenth with a one-out single by Larry Kopf, an error and an infield hit by Jim Thorpe, and Toney then sets the Cubs down in order to preserve his extra inning gem.
Imagine how freaked I was at the doc's waiting room later today when I saw the Cub's pre-game show and they mentioned the very same thing - because it happened today!!!
