WHO TAKES CARE OF THE CARETAKER'S DAUGHTER? by Revere Endor sung by Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) Say, who takes care of the caretaker's daughter While the caretaker's busy taking care? Marconi made the telegraph And Dempsey is the champ I know that Babe Ruth makes home runs And that Cleopatra was a vamp. I know that Spark Plug is a horse I'm a smart guy, there's no doubt. But there's one thing that I don't know And I'm dying to find out: Who takes care of the caretaker's daughter While the caretaker's busy taking care? Gee, oh gosh, oh gee; that's what worries me. I know that the caretaker must take care And while he's taking care, she's alone somewhere. Who takes care of the caretaker's daughter While the caretaker's busy taking care? 8:18:42 PM    comment []

Pornography endangers Well, if we're gonna watch the news, let's at least put on Fox TV I have to go What? It’s better than CNN No - they are both nonstop war, war is pornography That a pretty all-encompassing statement; it’s a matter of degree The only time war is good is when it’s over I agree But how is pornography like war? It appeals to prurient interest and has no redeeming social value War is necessary, and this is ratings-driven The free market determines what is successful on TV Who got killed making pornography? That is an expert on TV I forget his name There are no images, only opinions I have to go, I refuse to watch it. 7:05:13 PM    comment []

The third straight 75 degree day got me out on a photo walk. This pine branch resisted two previous photo-ops with the assist of mischievous gusts of wind. So I cussed out loud and made them settle down long enough to photograph, just like posing rowdy kids. If spring has not yet made it to your neighborhood, be patient. It's on its way. 5:02:45 PM    comment []

When I opened the food section of today's Herald-Sun, I realized why my dream basketball shot with a poke salad was a near miss. The correct spelling is "sallet"... Poke sallet has long history as American delicacy By Jim Wise : The Herald-Sun jwise@heraldsun.com Mar 25, 2003 : 10:30 pm ET DURHAM -- Every day ’fore suppertime, she’d go down by the truck patch, And pick her a mess o’ poke salad and carry it home in a tote sack, Poke Salad Annie, The gators got your granny ... -- Joe Dassin It was something we used to eat to keep from starving to death. You will eat about anything if you get hungry enough. -- Anonymous Internet posting OK, let’s get one thing straight. It’s not "poke salad." It’s "poke sallet." "Salad" is something you make with Irish potatoes and mayonnaise. "Sallet," on the other hand, is old English and Appalachian for "cooked greens." Like "turnip sallet." You wouldn’t put Thousand Island dressing on turnip greens, would you? As for why it’s called "poke," no, it’s not because you poke it in your tote sack or because it pokes up just where you don’t want it. It’s because it’s too much trouble to say "Phytolacca americana." complete story at: http://www.herald-sun.com/features/54-333853.html 8:43:46 AM    comment []

You Don't Say Apparently those motor-mouth officials who have been "saying" with glib abandon and relative impunity the past few months have shut their pieholes so they can engage in some concern. . The analysts are now the ones "saying", while economists are "warning". The "French and others" might soon say. The fat lady refused comment. (From USATODAY ) Officials are concerned about the possible consequences if the war lasts longer than expected. It could undermine some of the benefits the administration saw from targeting Saddam and exacerbate the risks. A more protracted struggle would increase the toll on Iraqi civilians, inflame anti-American sentiment in the region and even spur terrorist recruitment, diplomats say. Economists warn that it would drive consumer confidence down and oil prices up, damaging an economy that is stumbling already. And analysts say it would be only a matter of time before the French and others who opposed the war began to say: I told you so. 6:07:01 AM    comment []
