Please report the happenings of the day. Links are gratefully appreciated. All who contribute to the cause are welcome.
Thanks, Raven, for giving a better link. I'm going to go look up the workaround numbers right now for an organization my parents call frequently.
HA! I just checked on the common tater posts. None there.
Great minds think alike.
Joe Biden,,,, or more likely someone from the Networks or Cable who is lurking.
I've seen your picture, Toby, and wondering why D thought you needed hair spray?
keep getting message I need plug ins. I have so many programs. Not sure which is the default. Cant even download it (can you email me the file?)
A funny video would be the TRUE story on browns field on Sunday. In the disasterous loss (41/zip) to Pittsburgh a fan ran on the field. He was bumped around by browns Player & a steeler player picked him up & body slammed him. As he was escorted off the field by securty his pants came down.
poor guy the next day plead :"too much brewski"...
Unfortunately, since a third party is involved, it's going to involve paying for damage (to a car). It's been described as a "scratch", but we'll see.
I have always felt that Joe Biden could improve his lot in life by serving as the T in T ball. Biden's head would not hurt the kids bats and there is always the chance they might knock some sense into him.
I think the FR searching routine uses aliases.
Thus Common Tator and CommonTator resolve to the same person.. me.. It is not case sensitive. common tator and commontator will all resolve to me as well.
Commentator does not resolve to me.
My good friend Lloyd White also sings on the Paint Valley Jamboree. Lloyd spent 40 years in radio. About the last 20 as station owner. We have been friends and buddies for the better part of 50 years.
We turn in the titles and keys for our songs about an hour before the show starts. In some cases the band leader will ask for a short rehearsal on a song if we have not done it before. I always print my titles and keys on my computer. Lloyd always prints his with a sharpie pen. We discovered that neither of us can spell very well. We think it comes from all the phonetic spelling of radio copy. For example, the Pontiac Grand Prix would be spelled Pon-tea-ack Grand Pree... for radio. It apparently has caused both of us to be unable to spell with out a spell checker. Once in Ames, Iowa on KASI the copy writer spelled the Pontiac Grand Prix .. the Announcer was used to phonetic spelling so PRIX came out phonetically.
I was glad when the days of live commercials ended. But one of the guys at KASI screwed that up. Al Mitchell would erase about 5 tapes and start cutting a spot. If he blew it he just put in another tape and started over. He was doing a recorded spot for the High V Food Store. I was always kidding calling it the High Voo Feed Store. On his first three takes he managed to say High voo Feed store. ..then on the third take spent 15 seconds cursing me on the tape... Then did a good take on another tape but turned in the third tape by mistake. It got on the air. It included the G D words F word and S word all describing yours truly.
They made me to the High V Food Store commercials after that.
LOL! The 'T' in 'T ball'!
Welcome back, I know you had a great time in Upstate NY. If the damage to your property was involved with a third-party's car, did your property scratch the car when it moved from point A to point B?
Jemian, happy birthday to your hubby too!
[Raising glass] Cheers, gentlemen! Enjoy your day!
I read the whole thing...Libya sounds like a city dump. What a shame. But some Arabs seem to do to countries when they gain power. Quadaffi and hussein and the mullhas in Iran...
The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.
I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was.
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach...
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this experience.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.
Thanks W.!
HAAA! HAAA! OH!!!! I.G., that is one of the best ones I have ever heard! Thank you! Consider that to be a wonderful birthday present! :))
Two good ol' boys, Bubba and Earl, were driving down the road drinking a couple of bottles of Bud. The passenger, Bubba, said "lookey thar up ahead, Earl, it's a police roadblock!! We're gonna get busted for drinkin' these here beers!!" "Don't worry, Bubba," Earl said, "We'll just pull over and finish drinkin' these beers, peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads, and throw the bottles under the seat." "What for, " asked Bubba. "Just let me do the talkin', O.K.?, " said Earl. Well, they finished their beers, threw the empty bottles under the seat, and each put a label on their forehead. When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff said, "You boys been drinkin'?" "No, sir, " said Earl, "we're on the patch."
After spending 3-1/2 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks and insane regulations at the department of motor vehicles, I stopped at a toy store to pick up a gift for my son. I brought my selection - a baseball bat - to the cash register. "Cash or charge?" the clerk asked. "Cash," I snapped. Then apologizing for my rudeness, I explained, "I've spent the afternoon at the motor-vehicle bureau." "Shall I gift wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly. "Or are you going back there?"
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!" "Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"
Two blondes were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching the town of Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one blonde asked the manager, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are,...very slowly?"
The manager leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrrrr-gerrrrrrr-Kiiiiing."
Everytime you post that commercial, I watch it and everytime I get a "cold" in my eyes.
Of course, everyone in my house - dog included - thinks I'm nuts cause I start clapping too.
ROTFLOL, OH, LOL. It's so great you found so many loving people on your way home. You live in a very friendly place.
