Jeb, the raconteurs have been supplanted by the post-menopausal.

Pots, Kettles, Pegs and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

All legitimate rationalizations for goring those sacred cows wandering about at all hours.

Pots and kettles and pegs, oh my!

I'm not post-menopausal.... not yet anyway... have you heard of male menopause?

It's called grumpy old men....

Now I've just finished my napjerk and what do I find a nailage going on. I don't want to tangentalize too much as I only like to scanter the pages at my leisure... but I don't dallywaddle like I used to. We need a bit of tentaculating on the site...

(in 42 pt type set) Bravo André!

You are absolutely correct Suzy, and Walter Matthou has always been my guiding light. Don't forget the latin phrase in all of us.

Grumpy old men for sure Suzy. We can tentaculte all we want. Arguments on the site are fun. Personal attacks and deliberate snideness directed at individual posters while having these 'polite' arguements (scru u) are hurtful to the poster. Controversy on the site is welcomed by many, and makes the More...

I want to be a grumpy old woman. Then I might e-mail chewing gum manufacurers about the irresponsible new packaging instead of griping about it to my kids and husband; I might dob in friends and neighbours who cheat on water restrictions instead of pretending I haven't noticed; I might even complain when sold inferior goods....

Just for you Suzy:

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm More...

Here Here Jeb!!

scrubbing up my tentacules...gone a bit grotty...

When I was in my twenties I was a little bit more 'grumpy'. I was an engineer working in a factory with a stupid dress code for engineers - suits and ties for men, equivalent for women. Anyone who has ever worked in a factory knows how dangerous wearing a tie can be, and skirts when climbing over More...

You didn't say it... I was expecting to learn that Stacy London and Clinton Kelly were waiting for you in the office to show you the proper attire so you could look your best and still do what you had to do.

lol jeb! No, I just looked really silly at head office with steel toed boots covered in paper booties to protect the carpet. Put my nice shoes in the car from then on.... So only a little bit grumpy and a little susceptible to pressure...

Where were your creative engineering juices taking the day off? What an opportunity to create an entirely new paradigm in plant floor/executive office formal and liesure attire. Just imaging your logo on rack after rack of clothing in every Target across the globe. You would be the hero of every engineer who was ever called on the carpet.

billy - soak your tentacules in prune juice, makes for an interesting soup, pureed (sp?) with garfu ice-cream for that extra clout! I can hear the ecnalubma coming to get me...

second thoughts don't eat the soup its making me feel abit earpy...

ecnalubma don't like the whiff of garfu André - therefore, smother yourself in it...you feel earpy...I feel positively blodzil x

Zreszta wiesz ja jutro bede blodzil po hilltown i zobacze.

Don't hold back Pana... having a bit of trouble pronouncing a few words but I'll get there no worries...

Couldn't leave it alone André. The cryptic reference to that cultural icon 'blodzil' had me all astir.

Pana has a good point andré, zobacze is an extremely painful affliction, and I too would be weiszing my jutro if feeling blodzil for longer than an hour...and now jebbles is all astir...this could snowball into an epidemic of schpootens. God help us all if that happens...

Pana's time has come and gone. A mere flash in the pan, a sodden fuse, a fallen leaf. The long term impact of his strength of character is yet to be seen, however. Senseless fussbudgeting over pre-vernal epizoodiques only creates panicked flee or fight reactions in those least able to grasp More...

OH!!!!..uhmmm, sigh, a pity I missed the special classes for foreign languages!....

I just googled 'quiet hysteria' jeb, sure looks like a grand place to live, out on the islands of lalalostmymarbles...

We ought to hang Pana in effigy, which is a small town outside New York City.

Dangerous talk there, Ian. Look at the trouble Kelly Tilghman got into mentioning that specific tactic. She was back on the air at Torrey Pines yesterday and seemed quite subdued after a two week suspension. Effigys have rights too you know. All it took was for the ACLU to notice that they were More...

Save the endangered skeet~!

And Free the Indianapolis 500!

Victimhood flourishes where ever you look. The rare and curious haggis population is thaking a thorough drubbing.

Unfortunately, haggis is not as rare as it ought to be.

Someone I know has just arrived back from Scotland tonight... haggis has taken over, its even on sale at the airport... should we be worried? I've donned my steel vest in case there's a coo...

coo = coup d'état, well its Friday and its late!!

Jane, my wife has been an educator in public schools for 35 years. We first started seeing this in the mid 70's when some misguided administrator decided that the Junior Hight School needed to change to Middle School and that every student in that school was a "Winner". Excuse me, but More...

At Jeb's suggestion, I have copied a comment I made on "easy" to this page.

Regarding the latest school shootings, I have a theory about these tragic occurrences. As you probably know - and for whatever reasons (hormonal, mental, emotional) - there has always been a fairly high More...

Here too in England jeb the need for 'equality' amongst peers has been put forward through the education system and is failing miserably. No playground climbing frames, no running, no playing ball, what challenges a child to reach that little bit further?... and then they enter the real world full More...

sorry Jane I posted at the same time as you so addressed in response to jeb's earlier posting.

WoW Jane....You have certainly hit on some of the very points that Sully and I were addressing as More...

WoW Jane....You have certainly hit on some of the very points that Sully and I were addressing as we talked about the senseless killings that seem to continue to escalate in this country. We also feel that as important as the 2nd amendment(to our constitution)may be, the silly idea that these high More...
