Well, the old week (and weekend) is done, and we’re getting ready for a new week.
Off to work in the morning. To earn money. To buy stuff.
Or, to earn money to pay for stuff bought with a credit card. Because we do that.
So, what’s on your mind? Got a joke? Link to share? It’s your turn, you know, because it’s Sunday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
J. seemed to support poetry, so here goes:
There once was a fellow named Jimmy
Who disdained those who were Dhimmi;
And those who can’t farm,
Or do others harm,
And people who ever say “Gimme.”
Flattery buys you bacon, sir.
Sure, like I’m all that, and more,
Especially in the days of yore,
When flattery would buy a Scot,
Or get the first mate shot,
Before his hiney found the door!
Someone posted this YouTube link on FreeRepublic. Seven minutes.
If you feel that there is not one — not even one — conservative girl on campuses today, this will leave you feeling a little better. She’ll still get hate mail, of course.

{Thanks, Basil: I think I only provided the link but you provided the image. If it’s built in to the program to show YouTube images, you still get the credit for that.}
So I have a question: about 6 years ago my mother in law moved in with us. 3 years ago she passed away. A couple of companies continue to send her ads and come ons. Any suggestion on how to get them to stop harassing a dead person. DISH is undoubtably the worst but some of the charities are pretty bad too. (We have called them and told them she’s dead but apparently this is just a tease to them)
Ignore them.
Ignore.
Them.
Having had two parents who passed away, I can say that even the magazines claiming they were owed money stopped trying to contact them after one year. Three years seems like a waste of their own money and time and patience.
Of course, I stopped monitoring their *email* accounts, which may be the difference.
My childless aunt passed in December 1995. I had her mail forwarded to my address so I could clean up her bills. I still get a catalog from a Pecan Farm twice a year. I just pitch it. Oh, each catalog warns that if I don’t order I may be thrown off their mailing list.

Oh
Flew in from Palm Beach B.M.O.C.
Didn’t get to bed last night;
On the way the paper rags were on my knees
Man, I had a dreadful fight.
“I’m backed by the USSR”!
You don’t know how lucky you are, boy:
“Backed by the USSR.”
“Been away so long don’t want to show their face:
G.E. wants to get Barack home
Leave it to two moles to unpack my case —
Honey, disconnect the phone!!!!!”
I’m “backed by the USSR . . . ”
You don’t know how lucky you are, boy:
“Backed by the US”
“Backed by the US.”
“Backed by the USSR.”

Those Social Justice Grrls really knock me out

will all those Socialists beliefs

There once was a fellow named Frank
Who loathed legalization of “dank”;
He said that each guy
That got exceedingly high . . .
..,
To get money to buy stuff
Is a process ready but rough
As Basil has claimed
And those who are shamed ….
[Please finish one or the other. Thank you.]
How ’bout some music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MGhgGDhnWg
There once was a fellow named Frank
Who loathed legalization of “dank”;
He said that each guy
That got exceedingly high
Must be thrown in the tank.
To get money to buy stuff
Is a process ready but rough
As Basil has claimed
And those who are shamed
Must not buy their stuff in the buff.
Can a RAP song be covered by a Blue Grass band? You be the judge… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4hGSR5njZE
Oops, I forgot about all the bad language in this song or I wouldn’t have posted it. So you may want to delete it . Sorry. ~ z
This is another fine example of the great chemistry between Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbtyltYLIc4
It’s Harry Truman’s birthday today! He was born May 8, 1884. Drop the big one on somebody in his memory.
