Each of us was put here for a reason, and for some of us that reason is to serve as a bad example.
Yes, Nanny Ogg is my literary role model, however did you guess?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.
The revolution will be supervised.
This really is a full service blog.
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.
The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.
Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.
The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.
Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

“Sometimes the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others.” One of a favored series of demotivational posters, shows the bow of a freighter sticking up out of the ocean.

And I named my son Eric as a tribute to the great Pratchett. I am sorry I missed the book stuff last night, you guys were awesome. I look forward to next Sunday.

Yeah, Simon and Garfunkle have misled a lot of people over the years … thank god some are still on the right road!
Reminds me of a time in high school when a bunch of drama students were sitting around at lunch with a guitar singing “The Boxer” (it was the ’70s …). Whenever they got to the “lailailai” bit, we band students would slam the steel door of the fire exit. For some reason, that pissed them off. People can get so serious …

I SING OF DEAD BUNNIES
-Anonymous
tunes: “Sweet Betsy From Pike”
OR “My Favorite Things” (though the scan sucks somewhat)
I sing of dead bunnies, and burnt baby chicks
Barbecued squirrels, and hamsters on sticks
Ducklings in blenders, and frogs off the road
Opossums on fenders and deep french-fried toad!
Sliced and diced sparrows, dead dogs on the lawn
Cats riddled with arrows, and disemboweled faun
Pickled canaries, and clubbed baby seals
Mice served in berries, and turtles ‘neath wheels
Minced baby earwigs, koala fillet
Rat Pie with custard, and cockroach puree
Fred’s little brother, and Mystery Beast:
These are the things that they served at the Feast!

I am actually enough of a grownup that I listened to that whole thing and laughed twice. Otherwise the desecration of the original would have been too painful.

No wonder I like you. Sir Terry is my favorite and I love Nanny Ogg and Magrat and especially Tiffany Aching. I also like Vimes.
