You want extra credit for a galvanized bucket? Not unless there’s an Apple in it. And by Apple, I mean an iPad, or at least a new iPhone. :)
70 and sunny-fall weather has come a couple of weeks early-
Obama’s promises of free stuff
May galvanize the unwashed masses
Paying for the bread and circuses
Falls to all other economic classes
That Roman mob with their demands
Have dried up the public well-
Those whose taxes supported them
Say they can just go to hell
Let them work for every dollar
At any job, and don’t make a fuss-
Obama’s minions don’t have a stash-
They steal it from the rest of us...
well of COURSE. RME....
It’s been around for nearly 50 years.
i’m not nor have i ever been a fan of the genre. i like what i like and that’s that : )
Gal . Van Nuys
This Galvanize is a process named after Galvan Goolidge who first used it on a kitchen zinc. It might somehow involve gals and vans but that was before the Galvan and Hubbs Medal Process.
(This came from a soon to be written book called, “Great Something or Other”)
McCotter sounds almost like Dennis (sp?) with an “R” after his name-way out there...
Well, I can’t get the spelling wrong if I don’t type the name, can I-Dennis Kucinich...
LMAO!
