Get It: 105 |
Vol. 1, No. 72 |
A FEW MORE: Changes that is
… I’m still gettin’ reports o’ stray
exclamation points … lines that won’ break …
all kinds o’ problems with y’all bein’
able to see this … now I won’t accept any excuses!
… I’m doin’ some behind the scenes work
to make it not do that … the only place it’ll
really show up is in the one printed copy that I do each
mornin’ … but then it needs to be bigger print
so it can be read in the dark.

FROM THE DESERT: I touched
a nerve talkin’ ‘bout one Chinese restaurant
… someone recognized the reference … tol’
me it’s become an “all you can eat” kind
o’ place … same basic menu but mass quantities
… she reminded me ‘bout the Sweet ‘n Sour
Pork … it was always one of our favorites …
jes’ one catch … ya always bit in gently …
case you were the lucky winner o’ the random fat
chunk that inevitably turned up … jes’ try to
be cool when you’re on a date … tryin’
not to gag … fake chewin’ … gettin’
your napkin up to your face to discretely remove the quickly
enlargin’ glob … the problems of youth! …
she also confirmed that there’s no escapin’
the Volvo’s … they even exist in the Badlands
… with the same drivin’ patterns … so you
might move West to escape your allergies but you’ll
never get out from behind that Volvo!

DAUGHTERS: They’re bringin’
in a boatload of ‘em at the office today … it’s
“Take Your Kid to Work Day” … each department’s
been workin’ on a plan to give some idea ‘bout
what we do … makes ya think real hard when you’re
tryin’ to put it down so it might interest a 9 year-old
… I don’t know if this is such a good idea …
next thing ya know my associates’ll be askin’
for Crayons instead o’ pens … Big Chief tablets
… #6 ‘n #7 were kinda hintin’ ‘round
that they’d like to spend the day at work …
#6 thought it’d be a good idea to simply stay home
… watch TV … eat candy … that way he’d
know what the ‘housewife’ job was all about
… he’ll be goin’ to school today …
with a real clear verbal understandin’ of all the
things that go on when he’s not at home … (besides
… it’s not jes’ candy … it’s
Bon Bons!)

COUNTRY MUSIC: Well …
it was one of the more interestin’ shows on last
night … ‘til I went to sleep … I jes’
can’t imagine bein’ 14 years ol’ ‘n
gettin’ all those awards … ‘n money …
I guess Lee Ann Rimes ‘n Tanya Tucker can start a
club somewhere … it’s always a shock to see
how some people have aged … Buck Owens … Roy
Clark … it was really depressin’ to see Gene
Autry … I remember watchin’ his shows when I
was little … (right after they’d invented television)
… I didn’t care for ‘im that much ‘cuz
I was never into the singin’ part … I jes’
wanted the violence ‘n bloodshed … I think they
said he was 90 or somethin’ like that … that’d
make me almost ??? … naw … they musta been mistakin’
… that couldn’t been ‘im … prob’ly
his father!

“Medical researchers think
they’ve isolated the part of the brain that makes
us wonder about our purpose in life. They suggest we get
operations to remove that part so we can avoid such thoughts.
But then what would we do with all the televisions?”
