Goooood morning, LGF! :-)

{littleoldlady}!

MWAH!

Jay-zus! Are they still going at it in the other thread?

Old Chinese proverb... No decision is decision.

goddess! :-)

Fenway! :-)

It would seem so.

re: #5 littleoldlady

And there I was lamenting the reappearence of Aaron McGruder's Rev. Wright-esque dreck on Cartoon Network earlier tonight as the proverbial shir hit the proverbial bladed cooling device.

If you say so...

re: #4 reggie

Good morning all.
My mom says "I've made a decision not to make a decision. LOL

Gee, I wish Lopez Obrador (Our domestic Gore +more evil) would read that.
He's engaged in disloyal subversionh right now.

I remember a commercial in the early 70s featuring this song in the background of black and white children playing together.

Can't we all agree to start from that point and move forward?

It is finally Friday ! Wooohoooo
Life is good if you are not Obama or Hillary

Good song, that.

Great song! Simpler times...

Simpler times.
One of the best descriptions of what's been happening all along, in only two words! that I've seen in my life.

A great day !
More Than A Feeling

It was only simpler because we were younger. We know too much now.

Yeah, I always thought that was Rush. But could William James play the bass like Getty Lee?

I'm only allowed one pithy comment per day here at LGF.

Life is a lot more complicated now than then, for all ages.
A couple of months ago, my son and d.i.l. were talking about living in another city. My 4 y/o grandaughter said: "Then you have to buy me a cell" They said: "why".
"So I can text my friends!"
She was four -(five now)
Poor kids...

Are you serious, or just pulling my leg?
LOL

re: #25 littleoldlady

It is! It really is...

re: #23 sparrowlake

LOL. In my memory that one goes with this.

It's not playing for me! :(

re: #22 littleoldlady

/information overload

Exactly!

littleoldlady is enlightened today ;)

I wonder if William James looked anything like this fellow.

Damn damn damn damn damn damn. I spend ages writing up a long post in the last thread, and just as I submit it, everyone moves over here. Pheh.

I need a shower.

re: #30 MandyManners

I see some GMTA.

re: #24 MigueldowninMexico

You got that right. Our kids are exposed to so much more now. I liken it to trying to steer them through a field that at one time was dotted with garbage but is now filled with it and only narrow paths left.

Uh oh. Over my quota.

re: #31 Elydo

I read it. :-)

Good comparison, unfortunately.

Well, dear Lizards, I must be off to get ready. Take care!

I wouldn't want to corrupt a virgin open thread ; )

re: #35 littleoldlady

Uh oh. Over my quota.

I read it. :-)

Hey, what's this with your quota?
If you stop commenting I'm going to start a riot among lizards.
We want to read you :p

re: #28 goddessoftheclassroom

It works OK for me - it's Right Now by Buffalo Springfield.

re: #39 Elydo

What would you want to corrupt?

re: #39 Elydo

I wouldn't want to corrupt a virgin open thread ; )

Oooohhhh.
How stupid of me lol
You're right, that thread should be there, apart from this one here lol.
Actually I'm happy to be here LOL

re: #38 goddessoftheclassroom

Well, dear Lizards, I must be off to get ready. Take care!

Good bye, Visigoth Teacher!

/Ducks lol

re: #40 MigueldowninMexico

I was sitting on my hands the last thread. First, it's never a good idea for me to comment on Europe, all things considered. It's not only that Charles might ban me after lo, these many years, but I live in fear of saying something that might embarrass him and LGF.

Aside from that I'm seriously afflicted with the "bread of our affliction" today. I really shouldn't say anything!

Good morning all -- already 65 degrees as the sun also rises over Chamblee with an expected high of 78. If it weren't for the dadgummed pollen, it would be perfect weather.

Missed the "genocide" thread, though I'd heard it was coming down the pike. Haven't looked over there yet -- and Troll-b-que's on it?

HAVE FUN AT THE BALL, GOTC!

Have a great day, goddess! :-)

re: #45 littleoldlady

Ok, I understand :)

No quota on this new thread though ;)

re: #7 MigueldowninMexico

Shorter threads load faster.

Here ya go a Shorter thread.

re: #39 Elydo

I wouldn't want to corrupt a virgin open thread ; )

Defloratio -- the open thread beckons.

Oops -- bye Goddess.

I guess that means I need to be getting ready for class too.

Good morning everyone :)

Florida: Parents Outraged After Islamic Group Gives Classroom Presentation
[Link: www.wftv.com...]

(They snuck in the Islam presenters saying it was a last minute change and they were subs for someone else who was supposed to make a presentation. I guess so the parents wouldnt know ahead of time?)

Well, it's time for me to fade out lol
Good bye and God bless all :)

Morning all. Another gorgeous day here in Virginia.
The day after the CIA blows the whistle on North Korea's nucular profliferation, the WaPo op ed page is full of stories about- Hillary vs.Obama. It's a bad telenovela.
It's 1938 and the Martians have landed in Grovers Corners.

Morning Lizards from a cold and dark Twin Falls. So GoV finally has finally succumbed to the dark side. Not surprising, but not pleasant to see. :-(

In the words of Dick Morris and I semi- quote "You could go to sleep and wake up in June without missing a thing. Hillary will lose the primary."

re: #57 Jim in Virginia

Did they Leave Oscar the Grouch behind when they left?

If these weren't such troubling times this whole thing would be a fascinating lesson in the democratic system just as in the last two elections. I was riveted to the television back then though. This is exhausting.

re: #54 MandyManners

"slobber and drool woman"?

re: #63 Lucius Septimius

"slobber and drool woman"?

Huh?

re: #64 MandyManners

He made a reference to things being civil until "slobber and drool woman" came along -- wonder who that might be?

re: #736 song_and_dance_man
Look, twat...you're simply too ignorant and stupid to talk to. You would have to have that third brain cell over and above the two you need to breathe in and out to make it worthwhile to talk to you. No question you can possibly have could be simple enough for you to grasp the answer to.

Speaking plainly, you're a dumb fuck, all right. I can't help you. No one can. Next incarnation, ask for a mind rather than a larger asshole to accomodate a bigger dick.

That simple enough for you, Marco?

re: #66 MandyManners

Yeah, I read that. Charming, but I don't think that's who he was referring to.

Good morning and oh happy day... it's Friday! I think NW Florida almost skipped spring it's 65 degrees and only 6am.

re: #65 Lucius Septimius

He made a reference to things being civil until "slobber and drool woman" came along -- wonder who that might be?

I hadn't read that. Gah. What a nasty bit of work.

re: #66 MandyManners

I'm surprised that only got one ding down -- I guess most everyone was already asleep.

re: #67 Lucius Septimius

Yeah, I read that. Charming, but I don't think that's who he was referring to.

I think it might be. S and D.

Re the quote a the top of the thread, here is a parallel:

"War is not 'the best way of settling differences; it is the only way of preventing their being settled for you."

— Chesterton.

Good Morning all

Man - I thought this thread was a happy song-n-dance number; then the bar fight broke in.

Kinda like the end of Blazing Saddles ...

re: #70 Lucius Septimius

I'm surprised that only got one ding down -- I guess most everyone was already asleep.

Gotta' be the answer.

re: #3 Fenway_Nation

Jay-zus! Are they still going at it in the other thread?

Oh goodness, don't tell me we have another "Sit and Spin". Which thread, and what are they arguing about?

(remember that toy, perfect analogy for an arguing thread),

He was referring to song and dance man.

/sheesh

re: #71 MandyManners

I was not aware SaDM was of the female persuasion. Double charming.

Perhaps this guy has a future writing subject lines for all the spam adds for "male enhancers" that keep penetrating the firewall at work.

re: #75 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Oh goodness, don't tell me we have another "Sit and Spin". Which thread, and what are they arguing about?

(remember that toy, perfect analogy for an arguing thread),

"Sit and spin" -- an injunction usually accompanied by a particular gesture.

Or, a future using them.

re: #76 littleoldlady

Sheesh is right.

What gesture is that?

re: #78 Lucius Septimius

"French Mistake"

Good Morning LGF friends! I am getting ready for work this morning, but Little Winger just showed me this video clip - it's SO Great!

Hope you enjoy it and it gives you a smile - see you guys later :)

re: #86 mama winger

Toooooo! Cute.

re: #76 littleoldlady

Hey Loverlyone, everything's still alive over here. Anything pop up for you yet?

Evening all - all who are left.

morning lizards.
NYT cutting 100 jobs in the newsroom, first job loss in 156 years.

recent article.

We seem to standoff in the $44 billion Microsoft and Yahoo!, as Microsoft's Steve is prepared to hostile while Yahoo!'s Yanker tries everything he to drum up rival . What do you will happen next?

re: #86 mama winger

Hey Mama! Nicataseeya

Yeah, TomKrapman is a troll. He took extreme offense at SaDM's pointed question.

re: #90 LindaMarie

re: #90 LindaMarie

Evening all - all who are left.

What did I miss? Did I miss an important battle?

I have my doubts about mammamia, too. Such nice words for Englishman.

re: #86 mama winger

Cute, though it reminds me of Fred's nightmare about Pebbles and BamBam.

I go in to do my new hire stuff this morning today after my allergy shot, I went shopping last night so that I could morph from a pool queen into a teacher. I'm excited, they're starting me in the middle and I got a free hand with lesson plans.

Whoo hoo, things aren't that bad here in the old US, I went looking for a job, put in one app and three resumes, and got two. I'll be working full time with the developmentally disabled, and I took on a part time 99 year old, plus I'll still be the pool operator at my Y... looking forward to getting the weekends back for myself and doing some fishing.

re: #83 Ojoe

Y'know, I looked for that clip, but couldn't find it. Odd, that is.

re: #89 Widow'smight

Widow'smight! :-)

I know you meant that only in the best (and cleanest) way. ;-)

The lily bulbs are thriving! I have them out by the street near the mailbox - for now. Might not be enough sun there.

re: #91 ibmkeyboard

NYT does not surprise me. Main stream press has been losing money for years. Living in the past.
MS - you never know.

re: #97 The Albatross

Good going!

re: #54 MandyManners

/ Pleasant fellow isn't he?. Only 74 post since 9/11/07. And with that I head for the door and work. See you all on tomorrows DT.

re: #94 flrdalynn

Last thread - got personal and ugly. No need for that.

re: #95 MandyManners

No. 787.

re: #102 Bubblehead II

/ Pleasant fellow isn't he?. Only 74 post since 9/11/07. And with that I head for the door and work. See you all on tomorrows DT.

I noticed that.

I wonder if they've all been on GoV threads.

re: #97 The Albatross
Good for YOU!

re: #100 LindaMarie

now when they give away American secrets to save costs,
it will be in code.

re: #99 littleoldlady

You know us old men, always take the cleanest interpretation of the statement. I got blamed for the tick the Queen found on her, then mini-mom had a TickattackToe. I had to point out to her that they took the neighbor kids and the dog on the walk.

Now there's probably ticks on my "furry son". Do I get to blame back, or is that not such a good idea considering the distance I could fall from the Penthouse to the outhouse?

re: #101 MandyManners

Thanks Mandy... I guess one of the benefits of living in a smaller community... my reputation preceded me and they knew who I was and what I had been doing for the Y. A big complement, I hope I can live up to it and do a really good job.

If Goddess pops up... prayer list update: Father-in-law, Walt's brain tumor has reoccurred he has to body scan free from metastasis to the organs to be considered for treatment - the test will be on Monday.
I don't know how long it will take to get the results. He's calm, still working full time and pragmatic. What a guy.

re: #107 ibmkeyboard

That doesn't sell papers! Their readers don't want to decipher codes, they want to be told in simple plain words that they are right and should (no - must) feel good about themselves.

Simple and plain (no more then a couple of syllables)

re: #99 littleoldlady

Oh Yeah, the Lillies. They like lots of sun, but will still be ok with some. I'm sure if you go look at them often enough, they'll get their fill of radiance. Talloldman probably gets sunburn

re: #108 Widow'smight

It cracks me up how people blame other people for ticks. Happens here, too. They're vicious this year. We're all examining each other daily like a bunch of orangutans! ;-)

Grooming make Lucius happy. Tender snacktime!

re: #112 littleoldlady

At least we don't consider them a snack like the orangutan's do!

OK kids, I've got to go read some more student drafts. I can't decide if they're lazy or just thick.

re: #113 Lucius Septimius

Tender ticks? Ew.

re: #115 Lucius Septimius

OK kids, I've got to go read some more student drafts. I can't decide if they're lazy or just thick.

Both?

re: #112 littleoldlady

Did you write Brad Paisley's song "Ticks", cause that sounds like the same procedure to me. Maybe my bride will need some help in that DEPT. I'll have to wait till they look like M&M's on me I guess.

re: #116 MandyManners

Tender ticks? Ew.

No, the grooming is the tender part. Ticks actually sort of crunchy.

re: #117 MandyManners

Very likely. OK, Hi Ho, Hi Ho and all that jazz.

Cleeeaaaannn.

And the thread has progressed to ticks. My skin is clean! No Ticks!

If they're anything like the one's I've been working with over the past 6 years... I'd say they're too self involved to focus on their work.

re: #114 LindaMarie

It's really funny to watch.

/although I'm afraid my family may end up a YouTube sensation someday! ;-)

re: #116 MandyManners

Protein.

I've had two ticks... hate em but they're not as bad as chiggers.

re: #115 Lucius Septimius

What's the subject. Maybe their just bored. hehe

re: #118 Widow'smight

I'll have to wait till they look like M&M's on me I guess.

Uh...I wouldn't! :-/

Vikings -- if you're bored with that, you don't have a pulse.

re: #127 littleoldlady

Uh...I wouldn't! :-/

I will never eat lima beans - ever - ever.
Big ticks - never mind - no need to gross everyone out more then they are.

re: #124 LindaMarie

Protein.

And, iron if they're full of blood.

I give up on the left.

I went to the site that LGF had advertised with the youtube video of a speech with Ronnie Reagan. (circa 1964). There was a link to another video with a video from Barry Goldwater (or something like that) circa same period. And in the comments column there is a moron advocating both Obama and Socialism as possible solutions to the current USA.

What the truck?

Socialism, a failed idealism that seems destined to fail EVERY time its implemented because its only implemented the wrong way (its been tried in various formats to date at least 6 times with abject failiure in the last 150 years). And then Obama again .. who stands for what .. ?

I want to retire to a poppy field in Afghanistan someday, and in the meantime i'll put up with these clowns. But any more of this .....

/just want to scream sometimes.
