Father and Son argue about who would walk the dog... "son was killed... father was in critical condition...."

All I can think is:

That poor dog!

and...

Did he ever get walked?

cth: Living with twin infants is more than enough to wear a parent to a frazzle. TRAVELLING with them must be a nightmare.

:D

Yes, yes it was. Both. But, we never tried to take a twin stroller on a plane!

Storytiiiiimme!

Our twin boys were tiny when we had to take them back to the hospital for some kind of check.

We decided, since we were out, we'd stop for some food at a French restaurant (owned by an old family friend; Milady once worked there). We each had a sleepy little newborn in one arm, using our free hands together to tear the baguette.

A woman saw us and asked how old the boys were. We said, four days.

And she looked at us as if to say, why aren't you lunatics locked up?

Them boys be all growed up now, though. The one who lives down in Big City needs to get married to his pregnant girlfriend VERY SOON!

:D

"Remember... when your GPS & fish locator we're rolled in to one trusty unit called Grandpa?"

Remember when "were" (past tense of is/are) didn't have an apostrophe?

Remember when "in to" like this usage was one word?

Remember when they taught grammar and spelling?

My internal 4th-grade English schoolmarm will not let me read something like that poster without cringing. And SO many of these otherwise-amusing posters are the less for such errors.

OTOH, Never been a fisherman — my immediate ancestors being more into cattle — but I and a couple of other idiots did fish a giant lake in Washington (State) decades ago, where I caught a little trout that should've been thrown back, but it was all I had for breakfast. It stared at me from the frying pan, asking, "why?" To which I answered, "yum!"

PP: …The review would specifically address Obama’s Bear Ears…

Bear ears? Usually we just called him "jug-eared"… the usual abbreviation on Ace of Spades being "JEF."

PP in top form: WONDER IF THIS OLD FART NEEDS THAT NIAGRA STUFF TO GET A CHUBBY

Viagra rises. Niagra Falls.

:)

Because I don't watch broadcast or cable television, I miss much of the pop culture.

For example, years ago, I had to read some jokester (Dave Barry, maybe) remarking that we're supposed to think of massive flow because "Viagra" rhymes with the falls "Niagra." Until then, I had thought it was called vee-aw'-gruh.

Similarly, years ago, I had some nephews laugh at me because I didn't know how "Verizon" was pronounced. Vair-uh-zon apparently not correct.

Let them laugh at me; I take a bit of pride in my ignorance of popular broadcast brainwashing.

Can you imagine paying almost half a million dollars to hear, "Uhh.. umm, er, uh, not, um, uh, who we are, er, aahhh, umm, let me, ehrm, ehh, be, um, clear..."?!?

PP: "How can the race of the perpetrator not be relevant to the story? Or the race of the victim for that matter."

Well, of course they're relevant. If Non-Blacks attack Blacks, that is.

If they reported thuggish behavior on the part of blacks, stupid racist white people might think Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, and Col. West were the perps!

Steve Ditko Capt America? The red hoodlums look Ditko-ish, but Cap... just looks like Cap. Wonder when/where that's from.

Always fun to see the different era-styles you use. Like WW here. Truly old-school.

It is tragic, whenever, instead of receiving therapy, people are enabled in their body dysmorphia. Because of what he represents, Jenner's case is particularly sad. I had always prayed he would change his mind before self-mutilating.

Have to wonder about the doctors who do this harm to a sick man. The psycho patient is to be pitied; the willing butchers, despised.

Guy on local talk radio show this morning was talking about NYT posting this misleading pic. He said the guy who posted it acknowledged that it was his mistake and took total blame. Anyone can make a mistake and he did and said so.

Radio guy was saying the propagation of the #fakenews - at least in this instance - was actually on all the people who re-tweeted the original photo but not the correction (hundreds of retweets versus tens). Functionally tantamount to burying the correction on page B-64.

cth: "I’m confused. Do you mean Nance tweeted MY graphic?!"

Sorry if I was confusing.

No, I just meant, no take-backs on the InterWebz. Once it's out there, someone will have captured it before one deletes one's mistake. Streisand Syndrome and all that.

Chrissy, while I'm here, your latest health report several days ago was just wonderful to read, in case I didn't mention it. Milady and I consider your improvement a real answer to prayer. We'll continue to add our 2¢ worth of best for you. :D

Pete: Always appreciate your news round-up and especially the commentary. Another engaging post! Your reiteration of Hillary's arc was a great reminder, and also most enjoyable reading:
"She,on the other hand was always imperious, abusive, greedy and could never be rich enough."
Heh.

I think I'll hit that "like" button!*

*Really, I don't usually hit thumbs-up or like buttons anywhere. (Creaky old-man voice: "They didn't have them kinda things back when I first got on the web!") But I think I'll try to learn.

Partly I've never done it because I prefer to leave text replies if anything, and also it seems silly because I'd be liking and thumbing-up just about everything on places like here & Bob's nest!!

If a post gets enough Likes, does Wordpress give you a prize? :D

You know a really funny line in such circumstances?

"Then he deleted it."

* points to tweet on PoliNation *

It's right there!

:D

Yeeeaahhh.

One of the replies was something like, almost sounds like he's encouraging it.

Gee, y'think?

The regressives' mad bloodthirst is in plain sight nowadays.

Trump: "I just don't telegraph my moves."

>>Batman and Invisible Girl first met back in my MS Paint B&B days.

It's fun to go back and see previous "meet-ups" among the characters.

But I notice that the Bat-dude was helpless in both covers. Maybe someday Bruce & Sue can meet up when he's not inert and helpless?

Ever thought of doing a cover of people who can turn invisible (Sue Storm, Martian Manhunter, wasn't there someone from the Legion of SH, who else?) -- and not actually show any of them on the cover? :D

Gooooood Morning, Kings, Queens, Jacks, and all numbers of Spades...

*ponders* Somehow, that didn't sound right. Oh, well.

I would've waved hello sooner, but got caught up on the American Thinker piece on the Doolittle raids. Incredible tale; never gets old. I'd like to ask my Mom what she remembers about that.

Sorry. Didn't think the first one got through.

Salutations, commentariat.

Nice post, MH. Even if it had to go back to the shop for repairs.

Does the Russian dating site chick's axe mean she's handy 'round the farm, or, what's the phrase? Bunny boiler? Those eyes...!

Wait! Wait! I'm not even a quarter of the way through the last thread!

Only just got up to Stringer Davis's limerick ending with "Vermeereal Disease!" That's a real Muldoon-challenger.

Quickly, before the next thread arrives:

Goooooood morning, defenders of Reality!

We had a great family Easter supper yesterday

Followed by a night of great Oklahoma Spring thunderstorms. The air is washed clean, but the ditches are full to the brim.

And today looks nice, humidity notwithstanding.

Let's argue theology!
