The daily news can make a geezer's scrotum itch? LWM itches his head, and naps while keyboarding and scratching.

Some trolls are the same ilk as those who smear ice cream on the shoulders, legs, and the back of the sunbathers.

On a Brooklyn beach, trolls were stomping Pedinska's sand castle in grade school. That's why every other post she still complains.

She is anti-ice-cream sun-tan lotion.

Democrat Travis Childers wins a U.S. House seat in Mississippi's deeply Republican 1st Congressional District.

I just came from your site. Is the Dick guy on the # one Most Wanted List? I may have seen him in DC along the Potomac River beach near the Pentagon.

He was doing belly flops, and making sand castles.

He seemed, psychologically speaking, in a riptide.

That, my friend, was priceless.

Even by your generally priceless standard.

Jebbie, it's just like before, only add several extracurricular hours of violin, karate, French and hedge funds for tykes. Also, helmets, Facebook and Twitter. And noise, pretty much all the time.

Jebbie, I've already forwarded that one to my brother in law, who flew Fokkers (the modern, non-aggressive kind) for a small midwestern airline (later absorbed) for many years before falling hard for a Saab. By the end of this week, everyone at Northwest will have heard that story. Y'dun good.

You may not have noticed, but people don't grow up anymore. We just get older, it seems. And there's the rub.

George Carlin (a leetle bit older than me) explains it all if you have an hour -- "You Are All Diseased" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5897849765437265993

Flashback. OT. You mentioning Playboy magazine took me back to grade school. A neighbor, many years ago snuck some Playboys from his mom, or pops closet. I'd never seen anything like that before. I was still reading 'Harry went up to Capital Hill' and 'Nancy Jumped Jack' ... I did know the abc's or b's.

I remember my mom.

She said, 'some things you see in life can make a person turn to stone' and I felt something getting mighty darn hard.

I quickly ran home so fast.

I feared what I'd done seen.

It was a girl with no threads.

I did not want to be a stone.

it's Parsley, not Paisley...

Definitely not coming to your house for dinner until THAT one's straightened out. :>

Neither one's likely to be on the menu. How 'bout a salad out of the garden with fresh basil? I've got oregano and thyme too, but I'll be damned if parsley of any kind will ever make an appearance in my garden!

Good song. Liz has me by an inch. And I don't play guitar. Hubby plays and I like to sing. We did a song at our wedding. Surely that's enough to counteract Parsley in paisley!

"She lives in Manhattan now; we had a great celebration last fall for her 60th, a big gathering upstate where we pondered all the ways the world has changed. And, suitably enough, drank way too much."

I was talking about those changes the other day with my better half.

Isn't it remarkable that we're still alive after going through childhood without wearing helmets while riding our bikes? We even rode on the back of flatbed trucks on our way to the fields to pick veggies for Heinz - at the age of 9.

My very good friend also reminded me of the times he and his brother spent in the rail yards on the western side of Sandusky where the Norfolk and Western Railroad had its coal cars staged to load the lake freighters. They used to hitch rides on the steam locomotives that switched the cars from the yards down to the coal docks on the bay. Went home at night looking like coal miners but had a blast.

I cannot imagine growing up in today's sanitized world.

Is it over yet said: “And it is, of course, necessary for me to state here that I am a Jew and so allowed by virtue of my birth to have opinions that differ from Israel's far right wing.”

Why should anyone criticizing Israel have to be a Jew to “have opinions that differ from Israel's far right wing”?

Absurd.

Butt floss is only revealing from one direction.

As long as you lean up against trees, there is no danger of being over exposed.

Remind me to tell you about my Cousin, Tourvald, the Finlander.

"You know, like lutefisk."

There's nothing wrong with lutefisk.

My Great Uncle Oley was a first generation immigrant and was America's First Flying Ace of the Great War to End All Wars. He settled in Lutsen, Minnesota and on the 4th of July in 1920 they were having a celebration in Lutsen. The Governor was there. The Mayor was there and all the townsfolk were there to honor my Uncle.

When he was asked to describe his exploits in the War to End All Wars, Uncle Oley got up on the stage and told all the people how he became America's First Ace.

He began, "Vell, I vas flying along about 10 tousan feet and off my right wingtip I saw a folker so I turned into him and shot him down. A little bit later, I vas flying along about 20 tousan feet and in front of me, a little higher dan me vas another folker so I swoooopped up and shot him in the belly. He vent down in flames, too."

At this point, the Mayor broke in and told Uncle Oley that he should explain to everyone that a Folker was a German aeroplane.

"Yas, dat's right", said Uncle Oley, "but these folkers, dey vas flying Messerschmidts!"

I come from a long line of Swedish War Heros.

No need to expose the little tykes to rampant antisemitism. I just hope he isn't teaching them keyboarding skills.

"this is the "shift" key avi, never touch it! it's only used by the likes of the evil greenwald and his fellow antisemites..."
