Arrrrgh! I will never learn HTML. :o(
OK -- Take #2 (I'll report my own mess below)
YES, It's true Oprah has announced shes leaving. This has caused all sorts of angst here in Chicago. The legions of pathetic women who daily cluster around Harpo studios, hoping that the "great O" will acknowledge them,....are all dressed in black now. Word is their going to do a night vigil with candles and everything. Next will come the hunger strike.....
Of course this also leaves a big vacuum in the Chicago celebrity scene. now all we have left are the pair of race baiters Jessie Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan seems up to the task. Mrs Briguy and I were watching the local news juuuuust in time to see Louis claim before a large crowd, that the H1N1 virus (swine flu) was an artificial creation. Oh yes, created by "dark forces" in the CIA.....to kill off poor minorities on welfare. LOL! Mrs Briguy summed it up best when she said "You know, I think the cheese has finally slid off his cracker" I took a different appoach, warning her that this might be all planned. Afterall, it sure seems the only way to be appointed an unelected unaccountable "czar" in Washington these days.....is to be seen as an unstable far left radical wacko. Even the much less conservative then me Mrs Briguy, had to begrudgingly admit, I may well be on to something.
Hoarders! Yep! There is coming soon a new reality show, one which will display the worst cases of mental illness,that result in "hoarding" situation. It might be just garbage, or junk mail, or perhaps a few hundred feral cats, but soon it'll be on prime time!
The only thing left to ask is.... Which of you BB babes will star in their own episode? Donning an asbestos suit now.....
**DISCLAIMER** -- You can't be a hoarder if you collect stamps! ....even if you have 200+ "doubles" of certain issues.
Letters to Santa Forget it, the long running program where USPS employees will answer your kids letters is now CANCELED (pun intended) forever. Seems a few of the more then eager employees at the USPS doing this program.....have been discovered to be convicted pedophiles!
You'd think they'd have asked that FIRST....but no.
Now all letters to Santa will be unceremoniously shredded. :o(
The mayor of North Pole Alaska (yes -- a real place) has sent out a plea to those parents who want to have a Santa letter answered, to address it to North Pole AK, and it'll be answered. The mayor also was quick to point out that his letter responders in North Pole are NOT twisted perverts.....as its far too cold up there for any of that.
A day no pigs ducks will die That day, sadly, is today. :o(
I sort of remember telling the BB of my great adventure last year of luring, shooting, cleaning, and then cooking for a Thanksgiving crowd, a 15 lb wild Canadian goose. Its not to be repeated this year. I'm not sure if that before my latest extended hiatus from the BB, I'd told of the loss of the dog I called "Old Phart" (my 14 yo Springer Spaniel hunting partner). We found him earlier this year, curled up peacefully on his doggie bed.....cold. :o(
In a way I'm glad he went so painless, but I can't yet bring myself to sit in a duck blind, or chase pheasants around in the local fields, without him. So for the first time in 35 years.....I don't have a valid hunting license this fall.
Its led to some other ugly realities I'm now having to face. Because I've been told I'm a "sick control freak" concerning the annual holiday birds, Mrs Briguy has 100% tasked me with the duty of picking out a bland and tasteless commercial turkey. :o(
Already one of my so called "friends", (who learned of this via Mrs Briguy), has suckered me into making a fool of myself. He sent an E-mail, detailing "Palin approved" organic turkeys from Alaska, which are to be available nationwide this fall. The Palin birds supposedly come complete with a pledge that $1 of your purchase will be donated directly to conservative causes. Oh yeah,....I bit. I called up the local grocery, to ask if they had any of them.......only to find Mrs Briguy ROARING with laughter behind me. :o(
I now MUST respond in kind......somehow.
