Thursday “Splodey Head” Open Comments

Well, it seems that the memoirs of our past vice president, Mr. Dick Cheney, will be arriving on the bookshelves soon. He promises that “heads will explode”. True to form, he’s holding firm to his beliefs and is taking no prisoners:

‘This is not an apology tour. It’s the book of a proud conservative. He’s not looking to kiss and make up with the NEW YORK TIMES set, or for that matter, some of his former Bush administration colleagues,’ declares a source close to Cheney.

Not on Bush. Not on Obama. Not on Colin Powell. Not on Ashcroft. Not on the Democrats. Not on the NYT.
August 30th is right around the corner. Stock up on cleaning supplies and righteous indignation.
PS: We’re getting rain here at The Dome Home.

Like I said, this has been going around for years. Having dealt with the general public for years in customer service I am not really to surprized. The more I’m around people, the more I like my dog.

If it comes down to King Obumma vs J.tRick Perry and I’m forced to reach and pull the lever for JtRick, my body would start reacting like this guy’s body.

You just could not possibly make this up. A DC airport ticket agent-must read! This is priceless funny stuff; but alas, is only a small indication of how much trouble our country is in–sounds like a Jay Leno–“Jay Walker Show”. God Bless America ! A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of ‘why’ our country is in trouble: 1.… Read more »

All the neighborhoods in the area are relieved that the escaped prisoner from OK, Charles Dyer, was finally caught this morning in rural Richmond just north of Pecan Grove Plantation subdivision.

Last night the big storms passed barely NW, and this morning the storms passed barely SW. All was not quiet last night in NW Fort Bend… Read more »

โ€œAll of a suddenโ€ is an idiom, so it doesnโ€™t have to make literal sense.

I know it doesn’t have to make sense. I’m just pointing out that it doesn’t.

This topic sounds a little familiar & I think weโ€™ve discussed it here before.

It was, I think, in conjunction with a story about my first step-father. I actually heard him say that to my mother as he was standing in the basement.

#44 Sarge โ€œThrow me down the stairs my shoes.โ€ That is Germanic sentence structure, which survives in Yiddish English, as in “Throw Mama from the train a Knich”. But those Canucks seem to be French Canadians — an easy association with Cajuns, but no connection I could guess to German or Jewish. I’ve worked with Cajuns and never heard any… Read more »

“All of a sudden” is an idiom, so it doesn’t have to make literal sense.

all of a sudden

Back home we had Canucks, folks who are the Yankee cousins of Cajuns. We would hear such things as
“Throw me down the stairs my shoes.”
“I turned around, and there he was, GONE!”
