English (per Maxine's request)

Autumn is fall
To fall is to trip
The Englishman's language
is so hard to grip.

Shoes are for running,
yet so does your nose.
A sock is some clothing
to cover your toes.

Yet sock, in a slang term,
means bloody your nose.
A feat no accomplished
by a normal man's clothes.

What I want to be when I grow up...

All through my childhood there were certain things I wanted to be "when I grow up."
In no particular order:
A writer
A chemist
A teacher
A rockstar
A chef

The chef thing is actually more recent and most of them were passing fancies. The big one that has stuck for most of my life is a desire to be a writer.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and making mental lists on what I like and what I don't like about my life. I have to admit, the list of "don't likes" is very very small. One of the things that has been really bothering me lately is that I never went for being a writer. Yes, there are volumes of bad poetry strewn about. Yes, there are started novels and ideas for novels kicking around. But I have never gone after paid writing gigs. (The couple of publishings I have don't count to me. Vanity presses are notoriously easy.)

That is all going to change now. In the next few days, I am sending out samples and manuscripts to several magazines and posting on several freelancing websites. Hopefully I will get a few nibbles. It's going to be a long and arduous process but it will be worth it. I don't plan to get rich doing it but it can't hurt to try bringing in a little extra coin.

Wish me luck.

Snot filled blueberries.

How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Two, if they're small enough.

Car trouble...

Two blondes were driving down the road.

The blonde driving looks at her friend in the passenger seat and asks her to see if her blinker is working.

 

So the blonde looks out the window and says, ''Yes. No. Yes. No.''

People that know me know I love Popeye. I can't explain it.

Friends are good.

SMART ASS ANSWER #6 -- It was mealtime during a flight on Hooters  
Airline. 'Would you like dinner?' the flight attendant asked John,  
seated in front. 'What are my choices?' John asked. 'Yes or no,'  
she replied'
 ______________________________________________________________________  
SMART ASS ANSWER #5 -- A flight attendant was stationed at the   departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended  
her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. 
Without missing a beat, she said, 'Sir, I need to see your ticket,  
not your stub.'
 ______________________________________________________________________ 
SMART ASS ANSWER #4 -- A lady was picking through the frozen  
turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough  
for her family. She asked a stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any  
bigger?'
 The stock boy replied, 'No ma'am, they're dead.' 
______________________________________________________________________ 
SMART ASS ANSWER #3 -- The cop got out of his car and the kid who  
was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. 'I've been waiting  
for you all day,' the cop said.
 The kid replied, 'Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.' When  
the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way  
without a ticket. 
______________________________________________________________________ 
SMART ASS ANSWER #2 -- A truck driver was driving along on the  
freeway. A sign comes up that reads, 'Low Bridge Ahead.' Before he  
knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under  
the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.
 Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and  
walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says,  
'Got stuck, huh?'
 The truck driver says, 'No, I was delivering this bridge and ran  
out of gas.'
______________________________________________________________________ 
SMART ASS ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2007 -- A college teacher reminds her  
class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any  
excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear  
attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your  
immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'
 A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked,  
'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from  
complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'
 The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering.
 When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the  
student, shakes her head and sweetly says, 'Well, I guess you'd  
have to write the exam with your other hand.'
 ______________________________________________________________________ 
Two bonus extras: A blonde goes to the post office to buy stamps  
for her Christmas cards. She says to the clerk, 'May I have 50  
Christmas stamps?'
 The clerk says, 'What denomination?' 
The blonde says, 'God help us. Has it come to this? Give me 6  
Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptists.
 ____________________________________________________________ __________ 
A woman is standing nude looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not  
happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible;  
I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' 
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's darn near perfect.'


He never heard the shot....

 

The depths of my heart

Yay! Maxine posted again. Thats fragglerific. Now you can all see part of why I adore her so. She is the funniest damn person ever. You are all a bunch of jealous wretches.

A young wife, her husband, and a young good looking sailor were shipwrecked on an island. One morning, the sailor climbed a tall coconut tree and yelled, "Stop making love down there!"
"What's the matter with you?" the husband said when the sailor climbed down. '"We weren't making love."
"Sorry," said the sailor, "From up there it looked like you were."
Every morning thereafter, the sailor scaled the same tree and yelled the same thing. Finally the husband decided to climb the tree and see for himself. With great difficulty, he made his way to the top.
The husband says to himself, "By golly he's right! It DOES look like they're making love down there!"

I aint the sharpest crayon in the shed

So I don't know what makes you people think I can do stuff and things. I keep getting "tagged" but I don't know how to import pictures and stuff. I am what you call a novice. Hence my only posting once every couple of months.

By the way if you didn't notice at the bottom of this post where it says who posted. This is Maxine (obviously as Mark is what we call a computer wizard).

Maybe sometime I will take the time to learn how to do more interesting things. Alas today is not that day. So I leave you with the following glowing seeds from my brain.

pump up the jam, pump it up!!! Don't you just love technotronic. Oh that's just me. That's all right. I dance to the beat of my own drummer. My drummer just happens to not have any rhythm.

We can dance if we want to

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

It seems to me, you lived your life, like a candle in the wind.

I've been thinking a lot lately about people I haven't thought about in a while.
Gives me the oogies. I don't usually like to think about the past. There is some jacked up shizit that should stay back there.

Anyways...
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train.

After the initial embarrassment they both go to sleep, the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.

In the middle of the night the woman leans over, wakes the man and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly get me another blanket."

The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got a better idea... just for tonight, let's pretend we're married."

The woman thinks for a moment. "Why not," she giggles.

"Great," he replies, "Get your own damn blanket!"
