When : Always February 6th
Hey, today is everything it's quacked up to be. Lame Duck Day is set aside to give recognition to people whose tenure in a position is running out.
Okay, so you are probably thinking that a "lame duck" is a duck with some sort of injury. If only that were the reason for toady! Rather, a "Lame Duck" by human, definition is a person who is in a position of some kind, and will soon be "shown the door". The best example is an incumbent politician who lost in the November elections. They usually remain in office until the beginning of January. It also applies to leaders, managers, etc, who are retiring or whose term of office is up.
During the interim period, a Lame Duck is usually far less effective, and frequently ineffective. After all, loyalties will soon shift. It's impossible to rally the troops to one more cause or project.
On Lame Duck Day...
If you are a Lame Duck: Enjoy those final days. Reflect upon your successes, and the joys and rewards the position provided to you. Kick back a little and have some fun today, and in the remaining days.
If you know a Lame Duck: Supporters should provide recognition and support. Non-supporters can cut the Lame Duck a little slack today. They will soon be gone.
If you are a duck and you are lame, seek medical attention.
On February 6, 1933, the 20th amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect. This amendment addressed presidential succession. Now there's a lame duck issue.
TOP....something...
My favorite show on TV is old Gunsmoke episodes.
What do you call a man who goes up against Matt Dillon?
A Gunsmuck.
Thanks those are funny
An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned
to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike
up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total
stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God,
or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask
you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns
out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence,
thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.” To which
the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss
God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know shit?”
And then she went back to reading her book.
In before the last post ... I hope
Thank you for the new screen savers.

My pleasure.
I’ve accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles.
My next crap could spell disaster.
Here’s something kind of silly (and kind of not)...
It is time for you to vote for who you think will be the best candidate for the GOP in 2016. READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO.
As we were talking about the candidates, I realized that there were so many possibilities, you could build a college football style GOP Top 25 list out of all of them. So, that’s what we’re doing.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Vote in the linked poll.
-IMPORTANT: Don’t vote based on what you THINK will happen. Vote on what you WANT to happen. We’re not looking for you to predict who might win, just who you think would be the best person to be the GOP nominee based on whatever is important to you.
- You will be asked to assign a letter grade to each candidate. Rate as many candidates as possible.
- If you don’t have a grade because you don’t know who they are or have enough information, just skip that person.
-The order of candidates is random, so you may need to look around for someone specific.
- Your grades will be entered into a point system that will give us the GOP Top 25 candidates.
- Voting closes Sunday at midnight. Results will be posted here Monday.
- Yes, this is more involved than your typical survey. That’s because I heard on the streets that you’re smarter than the typical person.
Good luck. Godspeed. Other well wishes. STU BURGUIERE

That was funny!
How coincidental that you posted that scene. Michael Oher was just cut by the Titans.
Those are brilliant! And I read them in their voices too. :^P
The funny thing is that Lucy is a self-proclaimed feminist, and WOULD actually say those things.
Wrong end of the rainbow!
Some of those are actually pretty good. #6 is my favorite.
As silly as that idea was, the idea that running with a back who was 1 for 5 in those situations, and had just been stopped for a loss, forcing a punt, on the previous good drive to make the score is just as silly.
