Happy Birthday!

I hope it’s an AAA+++ Day!

Anyone else remember Bugs Bunny using the term “naif” to describe one of his fellow cartoon characters?

Bugs Bunny said to Elmer Fudd as he missed Bugs again, “What a naif.” Bugs continued to munch on his carrot.

Wow. Our local radio station is broadcasting from the local Mexican place today and it already sounded tempting for lunch.

Does muy beuno mean “will cause immediate weight gain”?

I saw this in a Sam's Club ad. All-American Velveeta now has a "queso blanco" version. That's an omen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

With so much going down now
You really have to wonder
How some are such naifs that
They can’t hear the thunder

Of the incoming tide about
To inundate all the fools
Who think celebrity dinners
Are something other than tools

To keep an idiot in office
So he can continue to rob
The treasury and the people
Instead of doing his job

Somehow, I doubt that skanky actors and their hangers-on with room temperature IQ’s and snooty accents appeal that much to average people...
