But first... a word from our sponsor Hellmann's... Well, actually it's an email I received from Connie, timely too - thought worth sharing:
"Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled
for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course,
as Sinko de Mayo."
Hehe, thanks Connie. Tis why I read emails first thing in the morning insteada getting yesterdays bills outta the mailbox!
Crap, crud, snotnose, whointhehell. Those are among the many I love to say - or hear. 'By crackie' is fun too... AFLAC. How many of you have - while driving or alone in your bedroom - tried to imitate that damn duck.? Don't you lie to me Kendra.
I've got an itchy itchy rash... Ya put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up... I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it - Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby?
Speakin' o Sinko de Mayo - they're scores aheada us with names and stuff. We have the mondane Ricky. They say Enrique. Steven. Estevan. Proper - stately - we're boring. La Mariposa beats the hell outta butterfly too. Rock band/mariachi band. Ok, we give. Cross the borders. Besides, your women are pretty as hell.
Who-yeah... Kiss my grits... Rainman-like "yeah"... and "I'm an excellent driver."
Saskatchewan... Twentynine Palms California... Tunica... Monsterrat Missouri (<-- yes, it's on Highway 50 - look closely next time)..
How Can You Have Any Pudding If You Don't Eat Your Meat?...
Ooooooooooooh, I love to dance a little side-step .. Now they see me, now they don’t, I’ve come and gone .. And, oooooooh, I love to sweep around the wide step ..
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on ..
Lemme boreya with somea the lyrics of onea my fav alltimes songs. I saw Ms. CJ had written a comment.. Her and I go waaaay back.. We usedta sing this one (along with the Temptations) at Sammy's back in "ought-six".. Ok, wasn't that long ago - but it was 1970..Yes, you young punks won't know this - and to read it doesn't do it justice. Song was aheada it's time:
People moving out, people moving in - Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide... An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free - Rap on, brother, rap on...
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher - And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher.. Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation - Ball of confusion Yeah, that's what the world is today - Woo, hey, hey..
The sale of pills are at an all time high -Young folks walking 'round with their heads in the sky -The cities ablaze in the summer time! And oh, the beat goes on - Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul -Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon - Politicians say more taxes, will solve everything! And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors - Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills - Hippies moving to the hills
People all over the world are shouting, "End the war!" And the band played on..
Thanks - thanks for readin' that... Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Is our world now not a Ball of Confusion?
God bless words. The Kansas City Chiefs #1 draft choice, Tamba Hali, escaped with his father - from war-torn Liberia when Tamba was ten. Even though a broken form of English is spoken in Liberia - Tamba said it was still like being a kindergartner in 5th grade when he got here. The power of words. It took him three years before he was able to sitdown and read an entire book. The kids who made fun of him those first days ended up being the ones to sit beside him and teach him to properly read/write English. I would bet he has a greater love/appreciation of words than many of us.. We've grown up with them - he strived to understand/learn/use them.
WHAT IS FUN FOR YOU TO SAY? Any favorite words like snickerfritz? Any favorite movie lines?... Sayings? Are you 'known' for a saying?
Tune in tomorrow when the topic will be "things you'd likea say but can't"... you know, stuff like: dickhead. be-atch.. or maybe "excuse me, would you lean over again?"
Come play in my sandbox - we can mold this clay (words) any the hell way we want. Life is good. Happy day, bye bye now.
