Wondering why I've not gotten any new pages from Andy Borowitz, satirist extraordinaire, my research found that The New Yorker magazine gave him 'The Boot.' Is that some new kind of award or does it merely follow the first 4 letters of the publication's description?
Being today as Thomas Edison's 177th birthday, perhaps the zine should close early and go screw a light bulb!
We hope to see you soon, Andy! My money says your audience would LOVE your deliveries to fill the seat of the dearly loved, departed OTHER Andy, that being Mr. Rooney. Are you listening, CBS?
Spotted in a local paper's daily question is: Who will win the Super Bowl: KC? SF? Usher? Taylor Swift? A former wannabe president offered his own conspiracy that it's a ploy conjured to push Biden for an encore. Nothing better to do, Mr. Sliceasalami?
A respondent replied to the newspaper's question: Neither of the 'TT' has openly said a political word, yet, the narrow-minded butt cheeked pundits have the audacious need to tell you what to think. However, since this is a 'bowl' game, my vote goes to Honey Nut Cheerios!
I've read columns by national writers on what they call, 'Tralors.' Talk about opinion-mongers! Yes, there's a couple, dating and rich. He gets banged for catching a thing made from a sacrificial oinker and she's a cute blond who was born with a marketing mind, for which writers tear her to pieces. Methinks jealousy. They actually offer to know exactly the inner workings of the couple's brains. I have no problem with columnists' right to write, but wonder what was in the green blend they drank before turning their keyboard into a bonfire!
Seems Wally-not-so-smart is re-instating rubber belts and humans at the checkouts. SOMEBODY called attention to lost sales due to dishonesty by not pricing all that went into the bags. Did no one anticipate this? Where the heck were all the MBAs? If they were even at a management meeting, you'd think this to be a major concern or was self checkout merely a way to decrease workers and increase profits?
Speaking of supermarkets, do you miss the 3' X 3' bulletin boards filled with 3" X 5" cards, advertising community sale items and services?
Pssst! (Local buying saves tax dollars that your incompetent lawmakers can't use for personal enjoyment!)
What I saw when I wasn't looking: Have you noticed in a Budweiser commercial, how a team of horses and 1 dog overcome a problem without speaking?
Time to disconnect the doorbell and phone so I can hopefully enjoy an exciting super bowl game!
Nothing beats a smile and hug and there are no classes or diplomas teaching how easy it is to be nice!
