my inability to enter my logbook accurately.

The DOT

OM45GE - Posted - 01/28/2022:  03:27:50

is amazed that I am able to travel from Alberta to Florida in 12 hours.

They find it amusing, but

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/28/2022:  04:49:32

a bit disconcerting that I fill out my log book in the French language.

That just goes to show

OM45GE - Posted - 01/28/2022:  17:05:12

those years in high school French class weren’t wasted.

The same can’t be said

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/28/2022:  18:01:41

for my mathematics skills.

.25 makes no sense to me

OM45GE - Posted - 01/29/2022:  03:44:39

but two bits makes 25 cents.

If I had two nickels to rub together

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/29/2022:  07:53:52

I’d buy 6 blackballs.

Never crack open an 8 ball

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/29/2022:  10:11:12

with your head.

It’s been said

OM45GE - Posted - 01/29/2022:  15:50:36

that Private LaRoche got a pool ball stuck in his mouth.

If that is true

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/29/2022:  16:50:18

someone should give him the Heimlich manouever.

A full nelson might be appropriate

OM45GE - Posted - 01/29/2022:  18:04:38

as punishment for his stupidity once the ball has been removed.

Why on earth he

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/30/2022:  09:38:05

gave up banjo picking to become a tuba player is beyond me.

It would

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/30/2022:  09:50:16

be a cold day in hell if tubas are accepted in a bluegrass band.



However, that maverick Bale of Fleck recorded Polka on the Banjo with

little concern for naysayers.

He did exactly

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/30/2022:  16:21:58

as he pleased, much like Steve N’ Seagulls who play heavy metal banjo.

It’s refreshing

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/30/2022:  17:17:16

to see someone eschew fingerpicks for a bread wrapper tie.

I’ve lately invested in plastics

OM45GE - Posted - 01/30/2022:  18:56:07

on a tip from an industry insider.

Pretty soon I’ll be rolling in

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 01/31/2022:  04:22:24

the back seat of my old Buick with Lola.

She’s

OM45GE - Posted - 01/31/2022:  05:17:51

been giving that heaven away.

I’m very grateful

KyBanjo - Posted - 01/31/2022:  10:38:53

that I havent missed to much around here.

Seems like the same ole

chuckv97 - Posted - 01/31/2022:  10:46:44

clatter and balderdash that we all know and love.

I’ll be at Speaker’s Corner later

OM45GE - Posted - 01/31/2022:  17:59:45

but I don’t expect to have much to say.

I don’t like to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/01/2022:  05:06:50

have people sitting behind me.

It makes me

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/01/2022:  06:14:09

noivous as dey say in da Bronx.

The Yankees

OM45GE - Posted - 02/01/2022:  09:46:54

haven’t started spring training yet.

When they do, I’ll

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/01/2022:  15:05:43

be sure keep a watchful eye on the talent of their roster.

I’ve been saving

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/01/2022:  15:07:56

my voice so I’ll be in good shape to yell at the umpires.

Some of’em are so hungover

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/01/2022:  15:21:06

the tops of their pants from eating junk food all winter, that it’s disgusting.

You should see

OM45GE - Posted - 02/01/2022:  18:11:49

how red their faces get when they have to run a few steps.

It’s a wonder they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/02/2022:  06:22:07

don’t keel over from excessive exertion.

Sometimes

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2022:  10:19:46

their fragile egos get bruised when the pitcher yells,”KILL THE UMP!”

Umpires take 7th inning stretches

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/02/2022:  11:16:54

to nip at flasks while fixing skivvies that have bunched up into wedgies.



They also

Edited by - Pick-A-Lick on 02/02/2022 11:17:46

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2022:  11:25:14

exchange information on where attractive women are sitting in the stands.

Sometimes they

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2022:  12:37:19

wink with knowing smiles at blonde gold diggers

Of course I’m concerned that their professional judgement

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/02/2022:  13:56:53

runs to the lax side when they become so easily distracted.

One might consider

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2022:  17:32:00

going to robotic umpires using artificial intelligence to make decisions.

Some might say that

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2022:  18:08:05

stomps viciously on everyone’s sense of nostalgic tradition.

“Kill the robot!” just doesn’t

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2022:  02:39:08

have the same ring as “Kill the ump!”

Robots don’t need glasses, so

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/03/2022:  04:21:17

that reminds me of my granny who didn’t use glasses either, she drank right from the Jug.

Those

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/03/2022:  04:24:05

were great ole days back on the farm.

Grandpa drove an old Studebaker pickup

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2022:  05:35:29

straight into the farm pond,

He claimed he was

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/03/2022:  10:09:13

just following directions from the voices he sometimes hears.

It seems to be

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/03/2022:  11:51:23

long lonesome days ploughing in the back forty can render one delusional.

The last person I talked to

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2022:  17:55:32

was one of my imaginary friends.

That was

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/04/2022:  08:24:09

in 1987 just before they locked me in the Psychiatric ward at Bellevue Hospital.

Now days

OM45GE - Posted - 02/04/2022:  09:41:11

seem to pass uneventfully but that may be the Thorazine.

I’ve also discovered

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/05/2022:  04:30:21

by observation that mating rituals of mice fluctuate seasonally.

Did you know

OM45GE - Posted - 02/05/2022:  10:48:07

that a barnacle‘s penis is ten times the length of its body?

The mind boggles

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/05/2022:  12:42:20

things into a mushy ball when you watch Gilligan’s Island reruns 24-7

Maybe the remote control
