The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 19, 2012

I don’t think I have the HEART or STOMACH to be a cannibal, but my KNEE jerk reaction would be to do whatever it takes to survive. Anyone with half a BRAIN would do the same. It’s not a HUMERUS situation at all, but there was no one to give them a LEG up. What do you do when your BACK is to the wall? Keep your EYES open and your EAR to the wind, and hope for someBODY to come along and save them. No point in yelling your LUNGS out, no one around to hear. So, has everyone been served? I wonder who will FOOT the bill for this? I guess crossing the country in a wagon was the HIP thing to do back then, but it must have provided some good natured RIBbing to those left BEHIND. BUT, he obviously NOSE what is in the pot, and still has the SPINE to carry on as if all of this is normal. Gotta HAND it to him. I wonder if he made a clean BREAST of this when he arrived, just to get it off his CHEST? Or was he a HEEL? Was he the SOLE survivor? Was there anyone else to point a FINGER at him? Bet he ELBOWed his way out of that particular press conference real fast! Probably had a bad taste in his MOUTH. I think he was quoted as saying, “AORTA go home, I have a lot of SPLEENing to do”. I hope he has the GUTS for it……
