Classic Version

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool...(snip)

Modern Version

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool..(snip)..CBS, NBC and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast...(snip)

FWIW JIm Quinn WRRK FM radio in Pittsburgh swears he wrote this years ago. He used to do top 40 radio back in the 60's, started doing morning stuff later and for the past ten years or so has been doing morning talk on the local classic rock station. Most of the time he's way ahead of the curve on things.

Here's a link to his Warroom webpage:

LOL! I'm saving this thread, tpp....fabulous links! Thanks.

Excuse me. You don't make the rules around here. We have been asked COUNTLESS times not to repost things. I really don't give a flip if no one's seen it. The contents of your brain aren't the reason this exists.

Sorry, but this just chaps my hide. If everyone acted the way you do, making up the rules, FR would soon become useless. Someone else has just posted a ton of links. You have a responsibility to do a search before you post.

So let's get off the snotty attitude that you have the right to do whatever the h*ll you want to do around here, and start following protocols shall we?

Thank you for your compliance.

Sorry, but this just chaps my hide. If everyone acted the way you do, making up the rules, FR would soon become useless. Someone else has just posted a ton of links to this same article--and if anyone here HASN'T seen it before, you must have just begun using the Internet last month. You have a responsibility to do a search before you post.

So let's get off the snotty attitude that you have the right to do whatever the h*ll you want to do around here, and start following protocols shall we?

Thank you for your compliance.

Refusing to take your meds again, eh?

Sorry, but this just chaps my hide.

The ants are racists, and greedy. The ants must share their food, and good fortune with the grasshoppers, so says the UN, hillary, and the liberal media, or the grasshoppers will plug the ants nests with dung! But hillary, and the liberals who live in the ants nest insist, that while the ant is busy sharing their food with the grasshoppers as the UN mandated, that their own stash of prime grains, and honey be not touched. While all these are going on, the UN body during their deliberations were indulging themselves to Russian Caviar, Main Lobbster, Prime Black Angus Beef, and French Wine. But the ants are still greedy, and racists.
So next Winter, the Ants must work twice as hard, they trimble with fear, when they will once again hear the words RACISTS.

[WaterDragon]

'Spose these ants could evolve some stingers? Or the ability to bite and harrass? Ants are the clever ones, after all. They are the ones who produce all those goodies the UN, Hillary, et al, feast on.

[WaterDragon]

Desitin is excellent stuff for chapped hides, JCG! How thoughtful of you! LOL

[desertcry]

The ants already have very potent defense, and offensive arsenal, but they have been subjected to decades of un-ending propaganda of how evil racism is, and how un-Christian it is not to share food with the needy by hillary, and the liberal media. The ants are extremely fearfull of the eternal fire waiting for them if they heed not, hillary's, and the media's warnings. Thus the ants with all their lethal defensive weapons are forever(perhaps not) slaves. Fortunately(maybe) for the ants, they have a new leader who is brave, and willing to battle hillary, her monkies, and the liberal media, and also is working hard to remove the grasshopper's dung plugging the ants nest. Maybe in a few years, the ants afterall, will escape eternal slavery, so I pray.

Naah, I heard Ted Nugent wrote it.
