Mornin’ everybody.Kinda slow on the old homestead today….Yes, Ma…. I’m sure they’ll cook you up something special…maybe run to the store for mushrooms and veal….
Oh… sorry… these teenagers can’t buy wine….There goes the veal Marsala.
Well, Ma’s in a hurry anyway….how about a slice of American “cheese” and shut up.
Did you notice they have special Dinette Set license plates? From the great state of Confusion.I’ve been there!A Baby on Board sign so the cops will give them a pass….Phew! Found the foot! I was so afraid it was in one of the burgers…Then again, where I did see it makes me hope there’s nothing worse yet to find. Brrrr…
Somebody please “splain me” that backwards “Back Off” sticker.I think maybe I’ve even seen a real one before.
On the rear of the car, it reads backwards to the following (presumably tail-gating) car… so that doesn’t work.If it were on the front of the car…. it would read properly in the rear view mirror of the car ahead….but you don’t tell the car in front of you to back off….I’m all confused again!x-Tech?!
Last (I promise) … Acesover said yesterday:“Did I mention I’m 17?”No…. and there’s probably a very good reason for that.But that IS a nice…. toothpick collection.
I’m glad no one is having a “number two.” (Or a “number one”—although Ma has that covered (pun) with her Depends.)They should ask Ma what she wants then just order her a number three and tell her that’s what it is.
What did golden arches change to in 2nd panel? I woke up right at sunrise today and just squeesed some fresh lime juice with a packet of Stevia and ice water- yum! That will wake me up
It seems I am officially in trouble. Yesterday we started talking abut the plans for our 50th anniv celebration next year. We got to the music at the renewal of vows service and I suggested some that I thought would reflect the sentiments of better/worse, richer/poorer, sickness/health, etc. So I thought we could do some songs from the American folk tradition, like “Stand by your man,” and “Sixteen Tons,” and “John Henry” and “I’ve been working on the railroad,” and “Leavin’ on a jet plane.”Well. Leaky, did I do something wrong?
“Ma” reminds me of my aunt. Some years ago my grandfather passed away. we had been spending two days at the funeral home and it was taking its toll. My sister and I decided to take a break so we both got our kids and were going to head down the street to a Taco Bell. I asked a few people if they wanted anything. My mother insisted I ask my aunt, so I did.
I approached her and said, “Aunt Jean, we are going to Taco Bell, you want us to bring you anything back?”
She hesitated a moment, then asked, “Taco Bell? Maybe, what do they have?”
I looked at her a moment, shrugged and said, “Um, I don’t know….maybe tacos?”
Note the reason I reposted my comment yesterday wasn’t so much from embarrassment, though I admit that was a little embarrassing. The real reason was I was afraid that the censor Nazis would pull it before everyone that it was intended for got to read it.
I have had comments pulled before and some people have been blocked for lesser charges, albeit this time it really was a typo. And yes, embarrassment aside, I did get a chuckle out of it.
And those who teased me about it, well if it was the other way, I would have been making fun too.
BURL…. Better to take the order at home and go pick it up by yourself…. Be sure to check that you get everything… I hate it when I order a hamburger and get a cheesberger….. ! ! !
“Custom” ordering of numbered fast food items is not confined to the drive through window. In the times I’ve frequented such places I’ve sometimes found myself behind someone who wanted something included that wasn’t listed. (without extra charge of course) Or something removed, (no lettuce, no tomato, no mayo, etc…) Or they wanted it grilled instead of deep fried. Maybe in those long gone days of the paper ticket going to the kitchen…
Great suggestions! Thanks to all of you. If we could get them in, it would almost be worth it to go back to the Catholic Church and get “the Card” here to be the celebrant. After that, can celibacy be far off?
I long ago gave up on eating at any of those fast food places (before other folks even HEARD of pink slime, I had seen Food, Inc and knew that unsanitary parts were used and “cleaned” with ammonia and other inedible cleaners). I now use only grass fed beef with no hormones, free range poultry and buy things fresh and cook from scratch myself. It costs a little more and is more work but tastes great and always improving. I admit that I slip once in a while to buying something stupid like soda crackers and hope that did not mess up my bloodwork this week

Even so, Leaky, I’ll bet it’s a tight squeeze.
