UPDATE
I just want to share a great post I ran across. Go over to Puppet Show, The Evolution of a Bad Idea, and read the post entitled Get me my oil! And turn off this world vision crap ... Football's on! Dan's a 20-something Canadian who has quite a lot to say about political blogging, our political situation, and that world vision thing . Here's an excerpt:

There is a startling lack of grassroots action taking place. Too many people, for example, seem to feel that because they want to end world hunger, and so does the person they're voting for, all they have to do is vote for that person, make a few statements on how ending poverty is important and voila, they've done their part.

Stupid's forever

Ignorance can be cured, but stupid's forever.

That's "Captain Candace" to you

James T. Kirk

An impassioned commander with more respect for individuals than for authority, you have a no-holds-barred approach to life and its obstacles.

I don't believe in the no-win scenario.

Cat, Get Out of My Bed

Grace, the artist, sent this to me.

Enjoy!

Silly Rumsfeld Quotes

Reports say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know.

We do know, of certain knowledge, that (Bin Laden) is either in Afghanistan or in some other country or dead.

You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's old Europe.

For a very fine article, Rumsfeld finally undone by his inability to adapt, check out Australia's Sydney Morning Herald.

Oh, and Rummy? Buh-bye.

Haute couture is silly.*

Watch a fashion show on TV and count how many times the runway reviewer uses the word "important," as in, "patent leather is very important this season."





* of course, this doesn't apply to handbags. ahem.

DUCK!

Do you know why ducks are so funny? I don't either*, but as Petey Fisk of Greater Tuna would say, "Let's talk about ducks."

Probably my first memory of ducks involved the Secret Word Duck on Groucho Marx's TV show, You Bet Your Life. At the beginning of the show, before the contestants came out, this duck would descend holding a card with the secret "woid," as Groucho would say. The audience would know what the word was, but not the contestants. When they came out on stage, Groucho would chat with them, steering them to subjects that might get them to say the word. The closer the conversation got to someone saying that word, the more the studio audience (and we at home) would twitter. When someone did say the word, they won a hundred dollars.

No, I don't think it was Donald Duck or Daffy Duck that first grabbed my childhood attention; I believe it was the Secret Word Duck. I was in love with words (and free money) even then.

Here's a website devoted to "Marxism," called Why A Duck?

And then there's the immortal Duck Soup, a look at wars and the people who make them, still relevant today.

*I suspect it has something to do with the waddle.

Hey, remember burp guns? I don't either, but they're baaaack.

This mommy doesn't just burp her baby, she burps AT the baby.

Ever see what a burp looks like?

And now, thanks to the wonders of technology, you can CREATE YOUR OWN BURP and then ... email it to a friend! (I am not your friend.)

I don't understand all the fuss about bad hair days. If one morning you wake up with a bad hair, just pluck it out and go on about your business. That's what I do. Duh.
















Here are some real hairy facts.















Oh, and watch out for those wild hares.

Ahem. Bok-bok Bok-BOK!

Submitted (heh, get it?) for your amusement today is an oldie but goodie:

Subservient Chicken is at your command.

Then, if you get tired of that, there's THIS.

For the cultural-minded, read about the historic Chicken Ranch HERE (The silly part is that it was closed down.)

And finally, visit a whole website devoted to CHICKEN JOKES!
