the Spanish countryside.

Rarely has there

saw_woods - Posted - 05/18/2022:  07:38:26

been a stranger couple.

Their twelve children

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/18/2022:  08:47:52

lived in a giant shoe.

One jumped over a candlestick

saw_woods - Posted - 05/18/2022:  11:26:08

and burned the hair from you know where.

Now they all

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/18/2022:  15:26:20

work in Kentucky at a bourbon distillery.

The youngest child

saw_woods - Posted - 05/18/2022:  15:46:10

is employed as a taste tester.

He has been investigated

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/18/2022:  18:07:36

by police for driving home drunk.

He told them

OM45GE - Posted - 05/19/2022:  03:39:10

it was all in a day’s work and offered them each free samples.

They all ended up singing

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/19/2022:  04:47:54

Auld Lang Syne and reminiscing about grade school days.

Sometimes all it takes

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/19/2022:  09:21:42

is some social lubrication to make the world right.

Of corse, there is the odd curmudgeon

OM45GE - Posted - 05/19/2022:  10:10:36

who insists on spoiling things for everyone.

Like the time

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/19/2022:  16:00:48

my 87 year old granny finally got her dream job as an exotic dancer.

Don’t you suppose a few days later

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/19/2022:  16:19:00

than today will put us into next week?

I’ll be tearing up my calendar

saw_woods - Posted - 05/19/2022:  17:04:23

And pulling the battery out of my watch.

From now on, it’s

OM45GE - Posted - 05/19/2022:  18:07:36

living in the present for me.

Don’t expect me to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/20/2022:  06:12:43

loan you any money.



The last time

you took my money and ran for the border.

I received a postcard

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/20/2022:  09:07:43

from the Yukon along with a small nugget of fool’s gold.

Winters up there

saw_woods - Posted - 05/20/2022:  09:53:32

are pretty brutal.

The only way to get through them comfortably, is to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/20/2022:  10:47:35

move to Arizona for a few months.

I was standing on a

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/20/2022:  13:34:55

beer bottle in Kansas looking off in the distance and I could see the back of my head.

I don’t believe the earth is

OM45GE - Posted - 05/20/2022:  18:18:25

happy with what humankind is doing to it.

Take a look at

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/20/2022:  21:08:53

the canaries in the mine.

When death comes creeping

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/21/2022:  04:05:31

in the cold damp still of the early morning hours, I will scoff at it and prevail.

I will rise up

OM45GE - Posted - 05/21/2022:  07:00:48

like some sort of avenging angel.

Fools will try

saw_woods - Posted - 05/21/2022:  08:16:01

to deny the fire in the sky is cause Gaia to fry.

But wise men and women will

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/21/2022:  09:14:56

refrain from apocalyptic thinking.

Fools tread where

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/21/2022:  09:48:29

where wisemen fear to go.

The day of atonement

saw_woods - Posted - 05/21/2022:  10:06:06

is by definition, perfect for getting a tan.

Eating super at noon is

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/21/2022:  15:06:50

tasty without peas.

Ants are

OM45GE - Posted - 05/21/2022:  17:51:27

the most prevalent species on early.

By weight, they make up

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/21/2022:  18:16:05

nearly the weight of a Mack truck with Amos and Betty Lou in the sleeper.

Its no picnic

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/21/2022:  18:57:11

without home-fried chicken, potato salad, and brown sugar baked beans.

With the addition

OM45GE - Posted - 05/22/2022:  04:25:11

of the Dallas Cowboys Cheers, the party can really get going.

I’ve found that

saw_woods - Posted - 05/22/2022:  05:58:44

my wife gets a little upset when I keep staring at the girls.

That turns a nice family outing

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/22/2022:  06:26:26

into a virtual Dallas Cheerleader orgy in my mind, regardless of how my better half feels about it.

You would think

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/22/2022:  08:32:33

with her looks and penchant for eating Twinkies by the dozen she’d clue in to my desperation.

I’d dump her but her uncle

saw_woods - Posted - 05/22/2022:  08:57:13

makes cattle prods for a living.

I’m scared of

OM45GE - Posted - 05/22/2022:  14:12:36

him because he refers to me as “that sumb****”.

He looks at me

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/22/2022:  14:39:19

with a demonic smile and a raised fist.

All because last year i

saw_woods - Posted - 05/22/2022:  15:26:07

Cornered his wife under the mistletoe, and gave her a smooch.

He thought my behavior

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/22/2022:  16:31:15

was misplaced and appallingly bold.

Little did anyone know

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/22/2022:  16:33:56

that his wife and I were high school sweethearts back in Fargo.

We used to go under the grandstand

saw_woods - Posted - 05/22/2022:  16:57:57

And look for pop bottles to turn in for the redemption value.

We saved our money and

OM45GE - Posted - 05/23/2022:  03:03:02

booked a room at the No Tell Motel.

We checked in and

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 05/23/2022:  05:14:57

had an unforgettable time romping it up.

The motel manager

saw_woods - Posted - 05/23/2022:  05:57:56

Called the police, because we were making too much noise (and we’re both under age).

We heard the sirens coming and managed to sneak out

chuckv97 - Posted - 05/23/2022:  09:28:58

to Jimmy’s Lunch for the afterglow chow down.

Jimmy served us

the “Honeymoon Special” even though we weren’t married.

The “Special” consists of
