Painting The Roses A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red. Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, `Look out now, Five! Don't go splashing paint over me like that!' `I couldn't help it,' said Five, in a sulky tone; `Seven jogged my elbow.' On which Seven looked up and said, `That's right, Five! Always lay the blame on others!' "Who cares?" declared number Six, and in the end the law of averages prevailed once again. "Hmmm. . .," observed the omniscient narrator, "perhaps we need a Constitutional Amendment to repeal the law of averages." 7:46:45 PM    comment []

Voodoo Witch Doctors Reanimate Al Haig In Haiti! PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, March 2 — Haiti plunged deeper into political anarchy today as one of the rebellion's leaders proclaimed himself the new commander of the army, appearing to grab power without legal authority. "I am the chief," the rebel leader, Guy Philippe, announced at a conference. "The military chief." And then, my friend, the witch doctor, he taught me what to say. he taught me what to do. He elaborated. . . Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang... Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang 7:15:43 PM    comment []

Real Good Deal-o Best-est way that They can feel-o Out on the highway Rollin' a wheel-o He's her *Tootsie* She's for real-o Trailer park heaven It's a real good deal-o Real good deal-o Real good deal-o Real good deal-o   These are smoked pork neck bones. They’re not the most appetizing sounding cut of the hog, but they are loaded with the flavors of ham, bone, and smoke. In other words, they are perfect for ham broth. At about a buck a pound, they’re a real good deal-o. Four pounds and water two-thirds up the side of pressure cooker (about two quarts) and about an hour at 15 psi. I used to buy raw neck bones to cure and smoke them myself. That’s a lot of fun the first few times, but the added cost is more than 60 cents a pound. This batch of ham broth will be cooked plain, no ménage a mirepoix. Maybe a little pepper. 5:41:24 PM    comment []

One from Steve Raker…     LooK   Have you noticed how many politicians are promising to look at things these days?    "I agree that this issue needs to be looked at."  "No doubt, we need to look at that."  "We need to look at all the data."  "Do we need to look at possible UN involvement?  Yes we do."  ....The next time you hear a pol promise to look at something, ask yourself if it isn't something you had assumed they were already looking at.      **************************************    Anything Can Happen!    I caught a TV promo for "The Oscars".  At the end of it, Billy Crystal exclaimed, "Anything can happen!"  ...I guess, "Same ol' shit, different year!" didn't make the final cut.     TV golf guy Curtis Strange broke for a commercial from the World Golf Match Play Championship and his last words were, "Anything can happen!"  I guess they think we'll all unplug our TV sets if not for that possibility.  "Has anything happened yet?" hollers Dad from the kitchen.  ...My son and I would often watch TV golf on Sunday afternoon because it was conducive to the taking of naps.  We'd say, "That was some good nappin' golf".              Steve     ************************************* 5:37:03 AM    comment []
