"When I want to call them, I just use the weenie whistle." 
I thought you were just kidding about the whistle. Sheesh! So that's what I've been doing wrong all this time.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.
Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?
See his ranting [here].
"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?
In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.
For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.
So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:
Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.
Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.
Hmm. Have you been playing that "Blind Man" game at the nudist camp again?
Ungh...It’s been a busy day. The Stig and I are going to bed...
LOL. How did the squish go?
I’ve always preferred seeing things fuzzy, like a Van Gogh painting. (Pronunciation is Van Phlegm according to my college English prof.)
LOL, as if!
Regular internet is out here from yesterdays storm, and over using the cell phone connection is too expensive. Talk to you all tomorrow.
Nighty-night, Face!
You mean the one with the Skil saw and hand drill? Yeah.
It actually wasn’t as bad as my anticipatory dread would have led me to believe! Not concerned about results. They said they’ll send a letter. My family dies of different stuff (like ODing on strawberry shortcake lol!) I’m more of a Nutella fam. Sleep tight, sweetie!
Great follow up to a good story. It was good that you followed their paths later in life.
I could tell similar tales.
But everyone would rightly suspect that I was just making stuff up.
"When I want to call them, I just use the weenie whistle."
I thought you were just kidding about the whistle. Sheesh! So that's what I've been doing wrong all this time.
I want one!
Only going to say this once. Stay out of the vises! or take a drink (afterward) to ease the pain. A fifth should do the trick.
I don’t like chloroform. It causes me to get sleepy.
Or Sodium Pentothal either, to tell you the truth.
Oh, I think you’d still manage to tell us a fiction, even with sodium pentothal. Fiction is just a different kind of truth, after all.
Good morning, y’all!
Good morning! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing (except for the one Jake ate for breakfast), and the teenagers are vertical, if not fully conscious.
How are you after the vise-activity?
