Kerry’s Stand

You really have no class at all,
Your money cannot buy it.
Please make a stand for what you are,
Commitment, you should try it.
On issues you can’t take both sides,
Though that is what you’re trying.
If your supporters had a clue,
They’d see that you are lying.
So pick a side and make a choice,
To prove you have Conviction.
We know you can’t and never will,
For lying’s your affliction.

Hi Amy!

With all the talk about forgery today, can we find a way to forge 2 Hershey bars out of Ex-Lax and give them to Dan Rather and John Kerry? And 2 for Ted Kennedy alone:)

We may need a new manufacturing plant if we make a list of all the "customers":):):)

Bob!

Gee OESY, I don't think I can come up with anything better than what you did for swap ideas day or sewing machine day.

It's not a great picture, but is the front of the shirt I will be wearing tomorrow.

The back of it has the shields of both NYPD and FDNY below an American Flag with the words "United We Stand" above and "Forever" below the flag.

It was sent to me as a gift from a dear friend, who is now retired member of NYPD, who was working in Brooklyn that day.

Hi! Welcome back! How's Marissa doing?

She's got a large family of inquiring minds out here, you know.

Sure, you can. Just trot out that old Portuguese dictionary and give me a hand. I know "Lareira" means fireplace, but that didn't seem to fit.

I had to take some liberties -- figuring it wouldn't take long before some born in Lisbon was going to set me straight. Now's your chance.

Meanwhile, I'm leaving soon, but will try to check-in over the weekend. Enjoy!

I do wear it with pride.

I come from 3 generations of NYPD - not a day goes by without a prayer for the men and women working daily to protect our freedoms, all of them.

Good afternoon, OESY. Hope you are having a great Friday.

Marissa loves pre-school and I so do I. She is there for a little over 3 hours a day.

She still demands lots of my time but that is expected with an only child. "I'm bored ..... will you play with me?"
She and Louie/Max are getting along fine. She runs out the back door to tell him she is home as soon as she gets home.

I will try to get some pictures to put on the picnic thread. She is excited about going to a picnic. She also enjoys the Friday night Rallies but she does get tired before we get home.

We are still planning to attend the inauguration in DC. Hope we don't freeze to death.

Evening all!

Dave Allen at Large
Skit, by Benny Hill.

DAVE ALLEN: Good evening. Now a lot of people as me, why is it that, as I sit here, I am frequently seen brushing my trouser leg. And the answer is, because I drink my whiskey diluted... with vodka. And in the course of the evening I see the little fellows climbing up my trouser leg and what I'm doing is brushing them off.

And uh, I went to a psychiatrist about it, and I said, "I have to keep brushing the little fellows off." And he said, "Well there's three things I want you to do. One is relax more, the second thing is to cut down on your drinking, and the third thing is to stop brushing the little perishes all over me.

A little Jewish story about a couple of Jews who were walking down the street and...

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Leave Jewish people alone. Leave us alone.

DAVE ALLEN: There were two Pakistanis walking down the street, in Golders Green, and they went into their synagogue, and one Pakistani said to the other...

FROM THE AUDIENCE: "I am a Pakistani and I have more brains in my little finger than I have in the rest of my body. Leave us Pakistanis alone."

DAVE ALLEN: Uh. I'll tell you a story about my own race. Two Irish fellas, one of them bought a paper shop and it blew away. The other Irishman went to see a dentist to have a wisdom tooth put in.

FROM THE AUDIENCE: "Shut your mouth." "You tell him Pat." "What kind of a man has two Christian names and no surname?" "An idiot, that's what."

DAVE ALLEN: Are there any Chinese in? Once upon a time there were two Chinamen. Now look how many there are. These Chinese are not very bright you know...

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (cursing at him in Chinese)

Audience members start throwing things at him. Four production staff walk behind him, blocking things from hitting the stage.

DAVE ALLEN: Right, I'll tell you a mythical story about a race who don't even exist. I'll tell you a fairy story. There were these four fairies...

FOUR PRODUCTION STAFF: "What if we are, you nasty..." "Why don't you leave us alone?" (the four start hitting Dave Allen)

DAVE ALLEN: (sitting alone on the stage) My God!

A piece of lighting equipment falls on the stage beside him.

DAVE ALLEN: (looks up) I'm sorry!




Be back later. :-)
