Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967

Why... "Moon River," o' course~! 'Twas the first thing that popped into my haid.

Famous Australian sports notables... What about Yvonne G.~?

Nope

What the heck, Pat... folks don't know what cartoons are, either.

Hmmm.... Ya know, the original Bird Flu was supposedly spread by ducks....

She must've watched Joaquin Phoenix's speech at the Oscars...

I was always a terrible math student. English, too, for that matter - which might explain why I could never come to terms with mixing letters with numbers! Anyway, I sent this to Helen Brimstone (retired engineer). She laughed like hell, then forwarded it to her granddaughter in in Brazil. Five minutes later got a response: I can relate to Joe's answer better~!!

First match as a Buckeroo when he was eight... he signed in, and the nice lady behind the counter looked at his name, smiled, and said "I'm sorry, Honey, but you're going to have to find a new alias. I'm pretty sure 'Sassparilla Kid' was taken years ago." The kid looked surpised, then thoughtful, then pulled his vest aside and displayed his badge. The nice lady looked at his bade and number, eyebrows went up, and she declared "Oh MY! You ARE the 'Sassparilla Kid!'"

Sorry, Warden... Sassparilla Kid* 8968L is my son. Just turned 28; had the alias since he was four or five... *"If it sounds the same, it is the same."

Oh... and Helen sez to tell ya "Hi!", Forty~! And asks that you do the same for her to Jittery and Deja. Fond memory of a GLB meeting and field trip to the Autry Museum.

I can assure you that Ms Helen Brimstone is alive and well and living in Fresno....

"Piso Mojado~!" Saw it on a sign the other day...

Wait... Didn't he sing "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys...?"

Him too~!

Ya left out Crappy and Stinky~!

Wait... ain't them those li'l fellas who helped out ol' Snow White...?

Cool! Keep 'em coming, Warden!

Ha! That's exactly what I did! Took the ladies a few seconds to register that it was a "mouse," and not a mouse. On another note... I've been mentally reviewing my "gottado" list for the week - DANG! For being "retired," I'm sure gonna be a busy old f@rt boy!

Haw! Lumpy's undoubtedly right on both counts!! Good thing I'm a fella of few words... Sitting at my desk... "the box" on the floor next to me, gradually filling with shtuff... wastbasket filling faster... got a shriek out of the ladies when I said "Oh look! I found a dead mouse in my drawer!" then held up an old Logitech...

Liberally sprinkled with M&M's?

Shush, Dan... don' be givin' them any ideas!

No... but my buddy Hank said that to his ma after he shot hisself in the leg with a .45...

TOooo funny!!
