No. 60


O my love's like a red, red rose.
That's newly sprung in June.
O my love's like the melody,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
ROBERT BURNS

1. Vu deja: the feeling that this has never
 happened before. 
***
2. Roughly, how many cliches are there in the English language?... answer: a bushel and a peck.


3. These are the tools of polite conversation...
ambiguity...vagueness...obscurity...and 
random acts of flattery.
***
4. Everyone is created equal...more or less.
***
5. Don't worry about the stock market... invest
more time with your family.
***
6.The world is not built...on a level-playing
field.
***
7. A good conscience is...a pain in the
head.
***
8. If necessity is the mother of invention...
who is the father?

9. Jump-start your life...take a few bungee jumps 
until your head clears.
***
10. In this society only two things are certain...
debt and taxes.

A review by Tina Tingle, our roving culture correspondent of 
a current "soap," Nosebleed Theater.

Welcome to Nosebleed Theater...the continuing saga of the 
Hedley family, their misfortunes, misconceptions, and miseries.
Today we find  Sturdley Hedley nursing a hernia while Emma
Hedley, his fourth wife, fixes supper as Bozo the dog scratches
fleas and cleans his caboose. Hedley speaks, "I swear, Emma...
An exchange follows and this is followed by 20 minutes of 
yakety- yak and ten minutes of station breaks, commercials,
and public service commercials. The original background music
is provided by the Neanderthal Quartet playing selections from 
Grablow's Armpit Symphony No.3.  All in all, the emotional content 
is balanced by enough entertainment value to make this program
as interesting as an pigeon fight.

I love when I find your blog listed at the top of my blogroll, for that means that you've left new things for me to giggle (and sometimes groan) about. Loved this, as always. :O)

So refreshing to visit your blog, always! My favorites: No. 3, No. 5. and No.9. I would suggest No.9 as the answer to No. 8...that is, a rush of blood to the head. Many cheers :)

It took me a little while to figure out some of them but overall, it's a joy to read them. I too like Oscar Wilde. According to him I should be in the right place: middle age. :-)
