It makes you so happy you're stoopid at the beach.

Thank You! Let's use the lariat you gave me to lasso Ms. Van de Puke, haul her back to Austin and feed her only food allowed on the Atkins diet (no sugar, very little starch-empanadas are verboten) until she agrees to stay and do her job.

Sounds like a plan! ;)

Good Morning all,

I thought I'd check in before the staff meeting. Poetry today.

Democrats flounder
Combined IQ of a fish
Ignorance is blithe.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792–1822

To a Skylark

Hail to thee, blithe spirit!
Bird thou never wert—
That from heaven or near it
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.

[LonePalm]

Missed it by one.

Mr. Clinton (William Jefferson Blythe)
Hath a heritage he hath denied
He strideth blithely through life
Taketh fat shrew for his wife
He telleth no truth, for he lieth

[theDentist]

I brought croissants, blueberry jam, butter, and bacon bits!

[maxwell]

Did NOT.

Oh. Wrong thread.

A husband and wife were out playing golf. They tee off and one drive goes to the right and one drive goes to the left.

The wife finds her ball in a patch of buttercups. She grabs a club and takes a mighty swing at the ball. She hits a beautiful second shot, but in the process she hacks the hell out of the buttercups.

Suddenly a woman appears out of nowhere. She blocks her path to her golf bag and looks at her and says, "I'm Mother Nature, and I don't like the way you treated my buttercups. From now on, you won't be able to stand the taste of butter. Each time you eat butter you will become physically ill to the point of total nausea."

The mystery woman then disappears as quickly as she appeared. Shaken, the wife calls out to her husband "Hey, where's your ball?"

"It's over here in the pussy willows."

The wife screams back, "DON'T HIT THE BALL!!!! DON'T HIT THE BALL!!!!"

[Conspiracy Guy]

Child not baby, doofus.

[NeoCaveman]

Whoa! Are they saying that Bill really was the first the black president? That doesn't jive with what Paula Jones said....

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Paula Jones said he was the first bent president. Who could argue that?

[NeoCaveman]

Arnold may not be so blithe about the recall, after all. Arnold kicked fity large to the recall effort

[TheGrimReaper]

Anybody see Hildeb!tch on Leno last night?
Couldn't stomach it for long, but it appeared that when the demon spawn tried to take a shot at GWB, Leno steered her back onto something else, like "Gray Davis is an incompetent buffoon", for example.
