Repeat after me: Merry Christmas! Shout it out loud. You'll feel so good. Better yet, say it to someone else. I promise I won't tell.
I always wanted to be a financial adviser for atheletes. Many end up broke, because sociopathic sharks eat 'em up. I have a friend who lost 5 million to a shark. Fortunately, he had a forgiving father. My friend is a son of the founder of Winnabago Corp. By the way, I did not get a classical education. Mine was more of a money grubbing education.
You know, I've only been posting here for a few weeks, but I'll tell you what. I haven't had this much fun since the eighth grade picnic.
I went to a Catholic School - in the rebellious 60's. Picnics, at whatever age, would reduce nuns/priests to red-faced stompin' people in black. We retired several of them before their time. Poor old nuns.
Larc is not allowed to use the Internet for the next few hours. His spouse locked the prof up in his room until he writes a 12-page paper on "Men are from Mars, & Women are from Higher Places." The paper must be single spaced, with 1-inch margins. (His last paper used 4-inch margins, and was tripled spaced.) Larc will return when the Goddness grades his paper; a passing grade is 92% or higher. I understand she takes points off for spelling errors.
Because this is the Christmas Holiday, I think it's fitting to observe a moment of silence for our brother in need . . .
Looked long and hard for a quote to help poor ol larc who was dismissed from the playground for messin' 'round.
I can always find plenty of women to sleep with me but the kind of woman that is really hard for me to find is a typist who can read my writing. Thomas Wolfe
And one for the cold, cold nights we're having:
If you think women are the weaker sex, try pulling the blankets back to your side. Stuart Turner
"Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink." --Lady Astor to Winston Churchill "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it." --His reply
I'm pleased you finished the 12-page paper with a passing grade, larc. However, don't use a 48-size font the next time.
I'm happy to report that all's quiet on the home front. My wife liked the washing machine I got her to replace the scrub board she was using. For Valentine's day I'm getting her a new lawn mower to replace the push mower we bought from an Amish family.
PS
I kind of feel sorry for an "in your face" type newbie when you, I, Waiting, and Redhorsewomen all show up at once.
