Subj : Re: Good News And Bad New To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Apr 13 2021 21:52:00 George, GP> Now they're remaking a bunch, like Chain Reaction, which I always liked GP> (I like to see how much of the chain I can get before they pop initial GP> letters in!) There's actually a doorgame by that name, and I think I have it on the BBS. GP> My fave games are trivia-based (Jeopardy, Millionaire, The Chase, etc) GP> as I can play along & learn things. I tried playing the one with Synchronet, but I'm just not very knowledgeable on certain subjects. > Or the pothole repair truck fell into a huge pothole. GP> That's usually an indication that they waited too long to go fix it! Yeah, that too. GP> It's a good joke & moral lesson, all in one! (like Mike Warnke's GP> standup from the '70s & '80s) Hadn't heard his name in awhile!! GP> Elijah stands off to the side, laughing, yelling, "Call louder. Maybe GP> he's sleeping!" One translation actually has "He's sitting on the toilet". :P GP> I expect Warnke, now, would finish by having Elijah turn to the GP> Baalites with a hearty, "BOOYA, DITCHES!!!" I've heard some say that when Lazarus was eating fried chicken with Elijah and Moses, and The Lord calls "Lazarus!! Come Forth!!"...so, the reply is "What do You Want?? By now, I stinketh!!". GP> I also like how he t old the Jonah story: GP> towards shore where the Ninevites were gathered, just watyching this GP> spectacle of a man, with seaweed & stomach acids dripping out of his GP> hair & beard, slowly, wade towards shore, then lifts up one hand, GP> likewise dripping, & intones, "REPEEEENT!" No pressure. They did repent, but apparently it didn't last long. GP> (I picture a crowd's worth of fertilizer suddenly making an appearance GP> behind closed loincloths!) I would say so. > GP> That's the standard. The first shot will provide you some immunity. > GP> Here they're delaying second shots to ensure more get the first one > GP> ASAP. GP> Sounds about right. BC is trying to get more people at 80% before going GP> the 2nbd to give (95% is what I heard the max efficacy is, with Pfizer GP> & Moderna near it, & Astro-Zeneca closer to 90%) I saw where they suspended the Johnson and Johnson and Moderna shots in some areas. I'm to get the Pfizer one on April 23. > 609 minutes early?? You must get there the night before. GP> 30-60 minutesl it's tough typing when you only have one working hand! I'll give you that. I have 2 hands, but I have fat finger syndrome. But, without fat fingers, how do you pick up the food and the silverware??!! > GP> Sam Walton (Wal-Mart) thought similarly & look how big he got! > He's surely turning over in his grave now. GP> Not sure; his family still has controlling stock & are filthy rich. GP> What else does he want? Their excuse would be the changing mores of GP> the American/global cxonsumer, demanding cheaper & cheaper, so GP> everything's msade in China now (you've seen that story of the world's GP> largest shipping vessel arriving full in USA, but returning empty? I heard he would show up in a store, incognito...and if he saw an "associate" not doing his job, that person was fired the next day. > > Or where the little baby preferred "the natural milk" from his GP> Momma's > > breasts, rather than from the milk bottle that Daddy had in his hand. > GP> I think we all do(did! I meant DID! HONEST!! I don't remember what I had. I do recall my brother and I had the cloth diapers growing up, that were washed and cleaned in the diaper pails, with bleach, soap, etc. Now, you just throw them in the trash...and they are causing a big health deal in landfills, with all the excrement. And, comedian Jeff Foxworthy noted that "you've got the kids coming out of diapers, but the grandparents are going into them". :P > Thanks for the mammaries, it was the breast of times...and I don't want > to nipple this in the bud. GP> Bud Light? Tit-ilating would be more like it. GP> Funny thing, you can get milk & make cheese & cream from ANY mammal(by GP> definition); I wonder howe many rat farms are currently producing what GP> percentage of our commercial milk?); I could traihn rats to hook GP> themselves up to tiny auto-start milk pumps, so so could anyone else, GP> especially if it's their business! I had field rats work their way in here 2 months after my Mom died nearly 2 years ago...and I had to pay a large amount of money to get that problem taken care of. We hadn't had much of a winter in several years (until we got back to back snowstorms this past February, that shut much of the state down for at least a week...and some places were shut down a month, due to burst pipes and water damage)...so, the rodents were looking for a warm place to spend the winter. > Pilate acquitted Jesus 4 times, but the Pharisees would settle for > nothing less than Jesus' execution. One author wrote a book called > "The Illegal Trial Of Jesus", showing the 18 Jewish Laws that were > broken. GP> Sounds like that book may have been the source for the article I read. It might have been...I've never ordered it...but probably should. GP> Yup, it was in no way a Jewish trial. It was a Roman kangaroo court. GP> It even broke Roman laws! GP> Looks like we've both been reading/hearing humour to hold up in trying GP> times. It(humour) saved my lifwe, I believe. I was despondent after GP> realizing I was crippled forever, but I discovered standup comedy on my GP> TV, & watched 1-3 hours/day, depending on the day & available shows. If you want some funny stuff, go look at the old Hollywood Squares one liners, etc. -- especially with Paul Lynde. Even he admitted that he had no idea how that got past the censors. GP> Laughter is the best medicine; unless you have diabetes, then insulin GP> is the best medicine. . . I'm at the low end of pre-type 2...but I have to wait until mid-May to reschedule medical things...at least 2 weeks after I have the 2nd COVID-19 shot. Daryl .... Illiterate?
