NOW I have an earworm for the day. LMAO “riders on the gorm..” is that JoeyB leading the pack?
A+++ btw
hilarious!
What’s a pederast?
Shut the #@*+ up, Donny.
“In the beginning, the Media was gormless and void, and darkness was over the airwaves. And the spirit of EIB was hovering over the face of the radio dial. And EIB said, “Let there be light,” and there was light...”
I just LOVE our new jr pastor. I smile when I see him in the church as I walk in. The two priests rotate around the county churches, we never know who will be there when we arrive. I pray we get a devoted conservative Catholic as bishop. Most hope I have had in ages. (we will not mention the SCOTUS decision....or I may plunge into the depths of despair AGAIN)
I am busy doing my semiannual cleaning, purging and general spruce up. Stayed up till 2am to finish off a project. Will be at it all week. No kiddies this week. The mom is after me to watch them before and after school. Wants me to tutor the older one and supervise his homework. That is a sure fire way to make me the evil one. Debating that, cleaning and the Olympics have left me with no time for Twitter or news. Better ping me to notable things like the HRtwitter scandal. Another possible sandusky? I feel like I have been in another world all week.
AWESOME! Made me smile.
And from noon to three eastern, it was good.
Off to Chick fil A for lunch right now.
i always confuse it with pedant.... ; )
i think the twit #harryreidmaybeapederast is just an attempt to highlight Reid’s unfairness in stating that HE DIDN”T KNOW, but a Bain investor told him that Romney hadn’t paid his taxes in 10 years. So I DON”T KNOW that Reid is a pederast, but there are twitter rumors of it, and so God forbid anyone spreads it around since THEY DON”T KNOW personally. There was a # devoted to the swirling of potential rumors of UNSUBSTANTIATED charges of pederasty.
A+++ great job!
Either way, we’re behind you 100%!
yinz going to chickfila today? i enjoyed having the bag on my desk this AM. In this ofc it really does make a statement.
Had it last night.
Surely (don’t call him shirley), Joe Biden is the most gormless VP in U.S. history.
You can get rid of that earworm by putting Jethro Tull’s “Gormwatch” album on.
I did.
:)
I can vouch for goats.
Goats are very gorm.
Yesterday at the polls, people were talking about voting for Cruz, especially those whom I know are hispanic-this is a very small place, so we all pretty much know everyone’s ethnicity-I hope Romney is listening.
People in this county are overwhelmingly conservative, but about 1/2 are not WASPs, and are more likely to vote for a candidate from their ethnic group, given the choice between two conservatives-one of my neighbors who voted for Dewhurst said I did that, but I told her that I voted for Cruz because he is more conservative.
The drive-by media hounds Romney-
They’re so rude it is a disgrace
No matter where he happens to be
They are right there in his face
The gormless twits follow him here
They followed him in Poland, as well-
Yelling their idiotic questions till
One of his surrogates gave them hell
With no respect for a holy place
And bad manners on total display
The reporters should be grateful for
What Romney’s guys didn’t say...
