Anyone who opposes the Affordable Care Act is a subhuman (Why Fry a Turkey when You can Zot Them?)

[Rex1971]

Anyone who opposes the Affordable Care Act is a subhuman. It is a great law but lying republicans are trying to destroy it. I signed up with no problem on the website. Republicans want to repeal my new insurance. Obama is a hero!

Whew!

Las Vegas actually had snow flurries early this morning! The storm front produced some vicious winds, but the good news is that it blew most of the leaves from the trees out front. The bad news is that it blew them all into my patio!

Hello....well power just went out and here I am still online!!!! yipeeeee!!!

It was -18 during the night. Staying warm. We put that plastic wrap over most of our the windows during the winter...that really helps.

"Is that why potatoes grow out of ears?"

No, it's corn that grows in ears. Potatoes grow out of collected piles of dirt my mom called "hills", as below.

But, as below, I never got a crop of them for some reason.

BOY!

They used to see my freckles when they looked at me,
And waves of curly hair upon my head.
My eyes would just be squinting out, below my knitted brows,
Some even thought my hair a shade of red.

Sun-bleached, I guess it was, because later it turned muddy brown,
And no one called me “carrot top” again.
I liked to think about the way things worked.
Deducing that I had a furnace in my skin.

It was right there in my belly, it rumbled so sometimes,
And its warmth was quite apparent, I can say.
However cold my hands became, my belly was still warmer,
Thanks to all the fuel I sent its way.

My mother always swore that I could grow potatoes,
In darkened furrows when I held my skinny elbows out.
I liked potatoes, but they never quite took root,
Erosion from the frequent storms of baths, no doubt.

I don’t know about the other boys, but dirt was my companion,
My plaything for the little cars and men.
I built the roads they traveled on, and tunnels,
Road-building was less time-consuming then.

I still have marbles that I played with, then,
I haven’t lost them all quite yet.
And hopscotch was another thing I did,
And I could probably beat you at it, I bet!

You’ll notice I defined low maintenance,
Except for quantities of food and soap,
For clothing that I got from here and there,
And a corner where I hid to dream and hope.

I remember ice-cream that we worked to make,
And fevers that I sweated out at night,
My Dad’s rough hands that rubbed my itchy back,
And always knowing things would be alright.

These things that I remember comfort me,
They gather round my thoughts at end of day,
But just like then I am not ready for my bed,
I’m still alive inside here, come and play!

I’ll see that poem and raise you a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSn2JuDQSc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Hunting was poor. The old fat tiger padded like a grey ghost across the savannah. A rather roly-poly grey ghost.

A watering hole in the distance, nose sniffing, tail twitching he approached.

Adjusted his shorts then approached.

The unwary pinto was the slowest of it's herd, and this day paid the ultimate price.

There was the short squeal of a squeezed polyethylene bag, and then silence.

"The unwary pinto was the slowest of it's herd, and this day paid the ultimate price."

After spending your day and evening slaughtering and digesting your meal, it would appear that you are already looking to preparing a lethal trap for the unwary of tomorrow.

[Monkey Face]

Ohhhh, I LIKE that! LOLZ!

[Anton.Rutter]

Glad it made you laugh :)

[Monkey Face]

I love a twisted sense of humor, and you seem to have one!

So thanks!

[Bikkuri]

lol... that is a good one :D

[Monkey Face]

(Nice home page!)

[Bikkuri]

Thank you... I like keeping things appear simple >:^D

[Bikkuri]

Oops... should have put italics on appear :p

[Monkey Face]

So I'm the Grammar Nazi, now?

We ALL appear simple, and we even appear normal. But then, that's why we are Undead! LOL!

[Bikkuri]

Speaking of Grammar Nazi.. I wish I had to time to go back and search for a light hearted correction I did for a really cranky recipient a couple of years ago.. I backed out, but some other FReepers jumped in and tore Mr. Grumpy a new one... would have to go back through pages of posts to try and track it down >.<

I DID end up making a 'cute' grammatical reference for the situation though :D





;~D

[Monkey Face]

See? Texting and stupid teachers have made a mockery of the American language!

We, on the Undead Thread aka The Flying Castle, have a tendency to butcher said language, but when we do, it is intentional and most everyone knows it and participates, from time to time!

And with that, I must take my aggravating self off the interwebs and head for bed. This has not been a good week, health-wise, so I’m malingering whenever I can! I’ll catch you tomorrow!

[Bikkuri]

Take care and sleep well ;)
(I am still recovering from all of the needles the torturer(s) poked into my left knee Monday >.< .... had fluid in my knee.. very painful, and no idea why :p)
Medicine worked well and fast though :D

[Monkey Face]

I’ve had my left knee “needled” and it is much better, even without the cartilage! </joke

[Bikkuri]

Well, I hope your health improves quickly.. we all need you back you play with any future fodder :D
