I Blame Trump!

And I stubbed my toe the other day.  That rat bastard!

I Stand Corrected

No sooner had I posted yesterday's post - One Of These Things, saying that the front yard tree looks dead, when I came across another dead looking tree.

But when I looked closer, that wascally wabbit wasn't dead.

Beautiful coral coloured flowers tucked right at the top.

So maybe there's hope for my Hounds Of The Baskerville tree......

"One Of These Things...." Part Deux

Another big ass house stuck onto a little lot.

Between two little guys.

I remembered this one because of the cool - but freaky - tree out front. (At least they didn't cut it down.)  See Do Not Go In There! for a better feel for it.  And pretty sure it is dead, too.

Looks like the Real Estate agent did just fine unloading that scary place.


Now This Is The Way You Do It

Just do a little addition.

You Ain't Fooling Anyone Either, Pal!

At least this guy - One Of These Things  - was trying to balance on one leg.

How To Spot A Millionaire

[An oldie but a goodie.  Especially down here....]

Okay, maybe this is more like down here.......

Oh Sweet Mother Mary!

What type of freakish, demented mascot is this?

Looks like some kind of rabid, flying monkey.

If fact it looks suspiciously like one of those Wicked Witch flying monkeys that made me pee my pants lo those many years ago.

But I think I prefer the flying monkeys.

It likely scares young children, but may be an effective weapon for sports teams.

Maybe you don't want to line up across from some rabid football player. Or you may think twice before defending a demented point guard. Or, and most likely, reconsider standing beside some deranged, zombie college mascot with your tiny child. "Get in my belly!"

So if you ever find yourself in North Carolina with nothing to do, and thinking of going to their State University - don't do it!

A Reasoned Response?

In today's hyper-partisan world, screaming and yelling has replaced thoughtful debate and discussion.

Used to be when folks disagreed, they discussed the issues calmly and rationally.

Well not anymore!

So I took issue with a recent letter to our local paper.  Instead of name calling, I thought I replied in a reasoned manner.



Original Letter

Reasoned Response?

Guess for Whom SW Florida Voted?

Gotta give those clever Marketers credit.

[Ed. Note:  It's President's Day in the US of A.  Of course, in New York & California, they are holding It's Not My President's Day rallies.  Also clever.]

"One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other"

You can stand on one leg all you like, but you're not fooling anyone, pal.

It's almost as if the guy to his left is looking at him, thinking, "Buddy, come on....."

Out With The Old....

And In With The New

 And If Something's Good......

At the rate I go through these babies, better double up.

The Whole Team

 .....soon to be a smaller team, of course.......

I'm The King Of The World!

Huh?  Who is the King of the World?

Zoom in, eh?

Ahh...there we go.

I Love America! (Likely about Part 25)

So had to pick up a friend at the airport yesterday.  Decided to wait in the Cell Phone Lot.

Wow, what a difference a country makes.

In Toronto, the Cell Phone is, let's say, more bare bones, where you wait in a gravel parking lot.  With the sign "No Services!" (I added the "!" but they might have well as added, "You're lucky you get this!".

Okay, it doesn't really look like this.

But it does look like this!

So in Florida, not only can you wait for your friend's flight, they have a gas station and a 7-11.

You can go to the can, buy a Slurpee, have a massage (I think that's called a Happy Landing), get your car washed and buy a bunch of stuff.

They also have all the departures and arrivals displayed on screens in the 7-11.


So what happens if you go to the Cell Phone Lot and you don't have a cell phone?

No problem!


And what happens if you go to the Cell Phone Lot and you're not drunk?

Also no problem!

Personally I prefer fresh water,  not just fresh tasting.

"Ha ha, Got ya!  We just spray Febreze in it."

Maybe this pic was taken in the Toronto lot....

"Da da da daaaa da"

Aww, man!

For those not in the know, "Da da da daaaa da" means "Blew out my flip flop."

But didn't step on a pop top.

However, did cruise on back home where there was quickly booze in the blender.

And it absolutely did render....well, you know the rest......

Thousandaires At Play

"Ha Ha!" Says Nelson

What a great idea - an emergency number for disabled motorists.

You just call 239-530...huh...what?

Sucka!

Who Could Have Done This?

Or This?

Or....Never Mind.....

You wascally wabbits!

He's such an..........

OMG

Gak!  Cough!

The Leafs are in the playoffs!

Let the bells ring out.  Unbelievable!

What's that - the season isn't over?

Oh come on.  Throw me a bone here, people.

We've been frozen out of the playoffs for thirty freakin' years.

My Work Is Done Here

Boy, that didn't take long.

For a refresher on "what didn't take long", see I've Seen This Movie Before.

They even took the freakin' trees!

And it doesn't look good for his pink neighbour, either.
 

Ouff.....really not good.

Gotta Love Key West

I gotta figure if life is too short, I don't want to spend it riding a bus.

But this bus may be different.

A good thought.

A good idea.


[What's a good idea?]

Maybe this is better......

An even better idea.

Uhhh......

And Merry Christmas to all.  I guess.......
