I really question the mental health of some of these people. At best, there must be some sort of developmental delay or impairment.

Actually, I think and you're left but I regress.



I've enjoyed malapropisms, spoonerisms, and all such word play since I first read Benchley when I was a pre-teen. That's when I fell in love with libraries and dreamt of reading every book in there. (I'm still working on that.)

So far the fish joke guys aren't pulling their weight. Maybe they should see a psychiatrist I know. He is called Dr. Jacques Codstew, but they have to be careful with him. He is hard of herring....

that SMELT!! even if you did do it just for the halibut. Good thing he's a psychiatrist, tho -- in a slightly different specialty he could have been a sturgeon.

I'll quit floundering around -- anybody got any moray good lines?

listen CHUM i'm tired of swimming around in your school. I'll wait with BAITed breath for your next line --

You're not the sole proprietor of these things. I heard one in a Salmon Dave song, and I even saw one in a Marlin Brando movie.


Personally, I don't see the porpoise.

This one's gratis.....

''The petty right and the bumbling left find themselves unexpectedly meeting one another these days, as they navigate the craters of our bombed out economic landscape.

Were it not for the ideological war in progress (it's not a cultural war, no matter what the university pundits say, it's a capitalist state sponsored ideological war), they would probably form a powerful combined populist movement that would scare Washington right out of its silk shorts. Naturally, political strategists on both sides do everything possible to keep the rank and file from discovering the growing overlap of liberal and conservative thinking (or in some cases, nonthinking).

Not many working people on either side still believe that what is good for Wall Street is good for Main Street, or that very much trickles down from Wall Street to our level. No matter how much money we sweat for, or borrow -- or Congress borrows in our name without ever asking us -- and throw at Wall Street, the money sticks up there on the fortieth floor.

Then it disappears into that bizarro funhouse mirror of the real economy, the virtual economy -- euphemistically called banking and investment and the market. Our market system of "investment" is based upon getting in at the right moment, grabbing other people's money, then getting out fast. Which pretty much describes the key elements a bank heist.''

~Joe Bageant, From Wall Street To Skank Street

RIP - Joe Bageant, (1946-2011)



- Joe knew. He tried to tell us even as he left the stage. He tried to tell us that we have to learn to love one another. No matter how hard we think it'll be. All are ONE.......

How ignorant we must look to the world. Why can't these morons use spell check? It's so easy. Run your slogan through spell check before you paint a sign and show the world what an idiot you are.

Socialism, spelled correctly and not taken to an extreme, is okay for your health in most instances. Like Medicare, etc.

All the Democratic Socialist nations are ahead of the USA in every metric for quality of life and probabilities of upward mobility. The only things the USA excels at are wasteful defense spending and weapons sales.

When they don't even care enough to take time to spell-check. Someone in Charlotte ought to go to the Dollar Tree and buy some dictionaries to pass out to them.

If you're putting this out to the world as an expression of your views, but can't be bothered to put a little effort into it to check if you have it right, don't complain when you get treated like a moran.



I may have to revive my entrepreneurial idea of attending teabagger rallies with an assortment of markers, tape, correction fluid, glue, a dictionary, a hidden mike, and a bunch of hidden cameras.

... because he would have equal tax dollars going to his school(s) when he was little, rather than depending on the funding of a poor county to pay for education. Plus, he would have been able to go to college because college would be free.
