Occasionally, I get a comment or question that needs more than just a quick response. Yesterday, just such a comment came from Outstanding Citizen Mark. Mark wrote the following:
Hello,
Weird request – do you have the lyrics to the last part of “Fanny Shake Polka” – I could never quite get what he sings after, “I took my Fanny to the airport, to give her a thrill. She knew the pilot(?) ???? and(?) ????, -the part’s going still-(?)… When you..???”
Any help appreciated, this has been driving me nuts for about 30 years.
Thanks,
-Mark

It’s the 6th annual Apple Fest.  Live music, food, prizes and more!
Carry on, Citizens!

Dear American Citizen,
Thank you for visiting your Government approved health care provider last summer. We’re pleased to announce that after much deliberation, our panel of experts has determined you may have contracted one of the following afflictions:
a) Lou Gehrig’s disease
b) Male pattern baldness
c) Coulrophobia
d) Mopery

I went to the Colts/Vikings game Friday night. It was my first game inside Lucas Oil Stadium, and I was lucky enough to be in a suite (Deluxe!).  It was a great time, but I couldn’t help but think of some ways that preseason football could be better, yeah Roger Goodell, I’m looking at you. So, Roger here are some ideas we would like you to implement next year.
1) Teams must run the Wishbone every third down.
2) No punts and no field goals. Teams must go for it on fourth …

America is in decline. It’s not because of the economy. It’s not because of health care reform. And it’s not because of our current or former President. It’s because we’ve abandoned hats.
No, I’m not talking baseball hats. Americans still wear baseball style hats, but Hip Hop has sort of killed the nostalgic cool factor. I am referring to the power hats that used to define world leaders. Hats like this:
Do you think Kaiser Wilhelm would have made Kaiser without a hat like this? Of course not! This hat SCREAMS head …

“Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a
screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you
can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire’s eye or on
the ball.”

After 20+ straight days of Health Care Reform and Michael Jackson, I’ve stopped reading the news. Okay, I still read the odd news. It’s one of the few places an American’s can still laugh on a regular basis. And that’s where I found today’s gems.

Taking charge of the country’s largest auto maker is too big a deal not to visit in person. The President was so happy to own a 60% stake in GM that he had Air Force One do a barrel roll over the company’s headquarters.  Later he unveiled plans for the new Commander-in-Chief Caddy.  It’s green (of course), gives off very little emissions and runs on pixie dust and horse manure. Kind of like our economy.
Carry on, Citizens!
Thanks to Justin Bessler (again) for this week’s photo.
