A Muslim woman who saw a Christmas tree at a mall was offended and demanded it be removed. She got no satisfaction from the mall management.

Would this be a bad time for me to perform a brand new song I just wrote for ukulele and snare drum celebrating Pol Pot's victory over the bourgeoisie?

Bird flu would be worse with caged up chickens and not like free range chickens on the farm or in rural areas. ;)

My Aunt in Chicago called the Irish that lived across the street, "cow shit Irish".
In winter we would build a snow fort in the back yard. The Irish kid that lived across the street would come in and brak it down. One year we hosed it down with water and turned it to ice.
We were laughing our asses off when he hit it and would slide off.
And you do know the St. Vallentine Day massacre in Chicago was the Italian mob rubbing out the Irish mob. "Let's mosey." :-/

Uh, yeah, I was mocking progressive's one sided cartoonish grasp on reality.

I need this...especially more roosters.
I'm still fumbling around making poor decisions, no doubt. I had two broody hens this summer that sat a total of 16 eggs, resulting in only 4 surviving birds. Many of the eggs were simply infertile. Still can't determine the sex of the new birds...I think 3 are roosters and 1 hen.
Normally I have an automatic light in the coop (days getting short here in Maine) but this year I'm giving them a rest over winter.

When we ran big trucks from Missouri to Florida 20 years ago, we would stop at truck stop in Jackson, Georgia. Sometimes we would eat the buffet for lunch. They has good peach cobbler.
One time I was riding with the boss. He told me, "Put on 100 gallons of fuel and take a shower."
I told him, "You know we have to roll across that scale further south.*
He told me again. "Put on the fuel and take a shower."
We rolled across that scale and the drives were 750 over. That was $75 cash and he had to pay it.
I told them in the scale house, "It must have been that fuel we put on in Jackson." They said, "Musta been."
I told him but he would not listen. :-/

A few of the girls I graduated with in Chicago went to Notre Dame. I think a couple of them made the cheerleader squad.
One buddy of mine in Chicago told me, "When the Bears and Notre Dame both lost on the same weekend it was like, "Hello? Suicide hotline?" LOL

I bought the Concerts for the People of Kampuchea album as soon as it was out, I was like 14 years old. But I was never "In Country". I have sussed out enough about what happened to reinforce my aversion to State authority.

I was joking with Doc the other day that we should thank you for giving us sex-ed lectures. We're both city slickers, but it's interesting nonetheless.
