Bits of Nonsense Come in Threes

Wounding Time, Missle-Toe, Bicameral

2009-12-24T06:59:00.000-06:00

Time does not heal all wounds. Whoever said that never had a broken heart.
Mistletoe: turns out it is semi-parasitic. Figures. It grows all-year round, vigorously in Brockeimia.
Bicameral is not the controversy involving gender vagaries among photographers.

Pre-pre Christmas Silence, Momma Does Know, What's Up Chuck?

2009-12-23T06:24:00.000-06:00

Twas the night before the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring... because they were all at the mall.
Momma never said there would be days like this? Sure she did. Weren't you listening?
Whatever Chuck says is fine be me.

Tipping Coffee, Chess Cafe?, Toweling Off a Chill

2009-12-22T08:54:00.000-06:00

Coffee tip - change up your bean selection every few weeks to keep favorite roast tasting as you like.
When a chess player knows he has been beat, that it is just a matter of moves, he tips his king as to say, "You are the better player, I can see this. We will play again." There is no such comparison with coffee.
Solution for a chilly day? Towels pulled straight from the drier.

Twaining Families Never Meeting, Vigorous Vimming, Ides of December

2009-12-15T10:04:00.000-06:00

"Never the twain shall meet" is not a reference to a curse affirming why Mark Twain never partook in a family reunion.
You've got your vigor without your vim, but where's your vim without your vigor?
These ides of December are no great thrill either. March, at least, is warmer.

Mornings About, Helen's Hand Basket, Blessed Mondays

2009-12-14T05:21:00.002-06:00

What about mornings?
Why Helen was in a hand basket, I'll never know.
Fridays are blessed, but so are Mondays.

Hounds of Brockeimia, Snow God, Peace Has no Chance

2009-12-08T10:16:00.000-06:00

Just once, I'd like to say, "Release the hounds," with due cause.
Snow is God reminding who is in charge.
Peace won't get a chance so long as people believe their rights are more important than yours.

Taste and See, Contenderizing, Monday's Selfish (Pass the Coffee)

2009-12-04T05:44:00.001-06:00

Coffee Solvent, Golden Sands, Headaches

2009-12-02T11:09:00.002-06:00

Coffee solves everything.
When people in the arid parts of the world envy their neighbor's home, do they say the sand looks golder on the other side of the fence?
Headaches are overrated.

Tasting Monday, Christmas Lament, Chicken Writers

2009-11-30T05:51:00.001-06:00

Monday is delicious. Taste it.
Rather than lamenting about Christmas commercialism, try quietly living generously by giving your gift budget to a homeless shelter.
"Pullets her," has nothing to do with award-winning journalism covering chicken farming.

Day After, Grouse Watching, Leftovers: Thanksgiving

2009-11-27T14:17:00.000-06:00

The day after a holiday is the beginning of forgetting what we celebrate. Be thankful always.
"Look at the grouse. Look at the grouse," was how the Three Stooges' Curly would point out the people who refused to realize how good they had it. Be thankful, not a grouse.
Leftovers are great memories worth tasting twice.

2009-11-18T06:05:00.004-06:00

Say what you will, but Lucy was irresponsible when she brought those famous diamonds to the sky.
The first cup of coffee before sunrise is no more spiritual than the last cup after sunset, but I am blessed to have it. Thank God for coffee.

2009-11-13T08:27:00.001-06:00

Nursery rhyme truth #12: Watch out where Paul Bunyan's ox invests. Word on the street is he is into blue chips. Which reminds me, watch where you step when he's around.
Why were the joker and the thief along the watch tower in the first place?
Need to kill some time? Try a few rounds of "Around the Mulberry Bush."

Nursery rhyme truth #11: Where's the real estate bailout for the little old lady who lived in a shoe?

2009-11-10T11:09:00.001-06:00

2009-11-11T08:14:00.000-06:00

Nursery rhyme truth #10: There are easier ways to eat pie besides using one's thumb, but no more satisfying.
One person's disorder is another person's chaos.
Just because it is gum doesn't mean it should be chewed.

2009-11-09T05:05:00.003-06:00

Nursery rhyme truth 8: Little is known about the woodsman. Someone should look into his background.
We have faith in things we speculate and theorize, and call those who speculate and theorize about other things fools, pretending objectivity.
Roses are yellow,
so are daisies,
I thought I'd bellow,
feeling quite lazy.

Nurset Rhyme Truth #7 (Sordid Red), John's Cake, Indulging Friends

2009-11-06T05:13:00.000-06:00

Nursery rhyme truth 7: Little Red Riding has a sordid past, and her history carrying cookies is dubious, at best. Let's just say she's not so little anymore and we are out of cookies.
Johnny cakes? Is this some red light district euphemism?
Dessert with the right person may be simple, yet an indulgence. Indulge often.
