So they take the monkey to the dance next door, the monkey was being polite then the Rabbi approached the group of young ladies the monkey was talking to, "You ladies don't see many talking monkeys do you?"

The monkey replied, "The way they look, they won't see any more."

 

We interrupt the current joke for a short political announcement:

If there is only one U-Tube video you ever watch ...........it should be this one.
Some of his suggestions are very interesting.

Nice...the joke that is

Cute and very slick. It smells like a PR piece written by the oil companies.

I disagree with tearing up our natural wilderness to drain our oil reserves. Instead, we should continue to drain the mideast reserves for the next 30 years, then, when they're dry, and oil is $600/barrel, let out grandkids start harvesting our oil; they'll need it to bail out of the bankruptcy and crumbled infrastructure we've left them, and to pay for taking care of us in nursing homes.

As to forcing Iraq to sell us oil below cost to pay back what we spent on the war, well, that's already in the Bush plan- the current proposal before the Iraqi congress gives something like 85% control of their oil to American oil companies, and they are under great pressure to approve that before the November elections.

The concept of the U.S. only buying oil from Iraq and friendly nations and therefore forcing the other countries to lower their prices just doesn't work economically; it's been well debunked on Snopes.

So, his speech has lots of feel-good stuff (just like any politicians speech), but underneath it's just the same old spin.

 

I agree - let's keep on lining those oil-rich countries with cash. By the time our kids grow up, there will be nothing left to buy in this country.

 

Silence in The Lounge for the past 36 hours. HELLO?!? Anyone here? iCR, can we at least get some music?

As strange as that is, this one really surprised me:
Canarsie may be sharing a seat with Pat (is that Patricia or Patrick? ) and then going to a bar with a King and Princess.


Have a great time, Canarsie! Can't wait to read the trip reports.

 

scoow, get a grip!

It was announced a few pages back that The Lounge™ would be dark from late-6/16 through early-6/18 for flatulence fumigation, pesticide control and fungusamongus abatement.

We're still some distance from the conclusion so please STEP AWAY FROM THE LOUNGE™ and we'll announce when it's OK to once again enter.

Thanks.....

 

Sorry, Cholula. I had the choice of updating my resume tonight or sitting here in the dark; depressed that I didn't win the Paris trip. I'll just wait over in the corner 'til ya'll decide it's safe to come in and join me.

Besides, isn't it already the 18th somewhere?

 

Do you guys still have your heads above water? I'm spending the 4th of July weekend with friends in your area and then a meeting in St. Charles the following week. Wondering if I need to book a seaplane?

 

And what will we be doing in the dark?

Dovster's probably already trying to book a seat on the Concorde to get there while it's still dark .....

The "resume" part does not sound good.

 

My chances of getting on the Concorde are just about as good as they are on my getting on any other airplane in the next couple of months.

On the bright side, I did get a rather unusual prescription yesterday: For chocolate cake.

The Israeli medical industry has taken a great interest in me during the past few weeks, apparently viewing me as its latest growth project. It has been sending me to specialist after specialist after specialist, all of whom enjoy sticking needles into me and looking at the resulting blood.

I was told to make an appointment with a zona-eet. As zona is Hebrew for a hooker, I was not at all unhappy with this suggestion. Alas, zona-eet turned out to mean something very different -- dietician.

I went to her two weeks ago and she basically told me that I have to stop eating anything that I enjoy and replace it with tasteless garbage.

I went back yesterday and she discovered I had lost 4 kilos. This should be a good thing. In fact, I think I should lose at least 7 more kilos, but she was not at all happy. She said I am losing weight too quickly -- in fact, four times faster than recommended.

She advised me to go out for a big, calorie-filled, lunch followed by chocolate cake. As my ex, Dementia, was going to be with me I knew that this would lead to a lot of nagging on her part, so I had the dietician write out a prescription for the chocolate cake.

 

...so if a zona prescribed the chocolate cake to you, does that mean that you would be getting layered?

 

Hey! You know that if I answer your question you will wind up sending me an official letter telling me I was not allowed to!
