Is the reason we pronounce colonel the way we do is to make fun of Asian accents?
Yes.
ATMs are just doing the jobs illegal immigrants won’t do.
Americans are racist and afraid to give their money to Hispanic people with the word “illegal” in their job title.

* Get rid of telephones and go back to telegraphs – hire delivery boys
* Kill the internet and then people will have to go back to newspapers and magazines for information – hire editors, writers, printers, delivery people
* Green cars? Pah! Bring back horse drawn buggies! Not only a boost in hiring but will bring back the buggy whip industry.
* Legislate a change to men’s fashion to make hats mandatory – habidasheries and hat manufacturing plants will scramble for new hires.
* No more modern appliances (dishwashers, air conditioners, microwaves) so that the rich will have to hire more servants.
The colonel/kernel thing puzzled my brain, so I actually looked it up. The deal is that the original English word was pronounciated kernel and spelled similarly, but sometime in the 1500’s the English modified the spelling to conform to the Italian spelling. I’d say that’s as bizarro as making fun of Asian accents.
I dunno why illegals won’t do the job of ATM’s. I mean, being locked up in a hot metal box for hours on end seems to be just right for someone who can’t complain to the Board of Jobs.
Thanks, Former, I do believe you are right. Bastard Marko may work with some ladies.
Burma, the baby robin screeching outside my house is a better fighter than most post-Roman Italians. The English have their odd traits, though I suppose odd is better than outright German traits.
And the avatar does work, ahh. My friends, the trick to making technology work is to curse it.
Automatic Teller Machines! Yea ok! When I worked for a large bank here in Minneapolis, we had a young Japanese girl who deposited $10,000 cash into an ATM machine thinking it would make it’s way into her account. It didn’t (surprise!). So we had to refund her money. Don’t know if they ever found the culprit! Don’t deposit money in ATM’s! EVER! Give it to a live person and get a receipt!
Yeah, but not in your garden, DamnCat. I’ve seen that stuff last – not for a week or two before degrading – but several years during which plants from the Twilight Zone grow everywhere like scary Mandrakes.
My potatoes are relatively weed free but I continue to “hill them up” with a handy hoe. (She’s cute, too.)
I think Obama’s plan is being carried out near my ofiice. There is a gas station with a drive-thru automated carwash. The carwash is blocked off and a whole van full of illegals stand around with buckets and pails. That’s what we call progress !!!
I’m just a gardener.. But, herbs and Potatoes go real well with dead meat, particularly hippies, hobos, illegal aliens and Democrats. However, sometimes, these are only available as road kill. Recommend you consult your local butcher.
“Do herbicides kill hippies too?” Unfortunately, no, not even when sprayed on their pot. Remember the paraquat scare in the 70’s? Not one confirmed kill, despite the hysteria.

When Mary, the sister of Lazarus, anointed Jesus with costly perfume just days before the crucifixion, Judas lectured her and said, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor?”
Notice that Judas put on a show of caring for the poor—even though the money was Mary’s, not his!”

Marko, I think the word you were looking for was “illegitimate.”

I think my potatoes need an early hoeing.

But people won’t see it until they clear their cache, Marko.
ATM’s = “Wall Gods”

I’ll let Weird Al field that one.
ATMs are stupid. How can I be out of money when there are still checks in my checkbook?
Jimmy – didn’t glyphosate turn the hoe into the 21st century equivalent of the buggy whip? It did here in corn & bean country.
Herbicides are for girly men with weak backs.

And they’re taking jobs away from illegal aliens. Basturds!
I committed herbicide on my wife’s plants one time when she went away for two weeks. Apparently you are supposed to water them more than once.
Real men don’t eat herbs or potatoes. Peaches, well one never knows.
Do herbicides kill hippies too?
Only if their name is Herb.
@FormerHostage,
I, for one, am proud of you. Real men shouldn’t know how often to water houseplants. That’s one step away from knowing how to knit.
ba-dum-bum tch!
I used to water the houseplants all the time but I finally had enough of her complaining and stopped. To add insult to injury she makes me flush!

Not gardening related, but a good point:
