Subj : Re: Todays Blooper To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Oct 27 2020 15:34:00 Barry, DS> My EAS alert went off for the "Amber Alerts" (Child Abduction DS> Emergencies). BM> Mine has too, and the screen stayed on until I acknowledged the alert. Same here. But, the phone batteries run down so fast, it's pathetic. DS> I was wrong, but I was mistaken. BM> That's right! Sounds like politicians...never believe anything until officially denied. DS> At one of the overseas hotels, the English translation was DS> "Guests are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid". BM> Oh dear! Or as Richard Pryor said in "Silver Streak", when he saw Gene Wilder's girl, Jill Clayburgh..."Have Mercy!!" . DS> But, some folks still can't follow directions. BM> Unfortunately yes; true of a lot of situations. Like the deal with the warning labels...such as "Cape does not permit user to fly". BM> Terminex or the dead critters?! Hey, it is almost Halloween: maybe the BM> dead critters are planning their hauntings!! Sheesh. I hope not. As for who's busier, I don't know. I wish I could know that they were gone forever. BM> Go find the _I Love Lucy_ episodes when Tennessee Ernie Ford is guest BM> starring and visits the 'Rick-ah-does'. :) Mister Sixteen Tons. :) BM> Wrong interpretation of the book _The Little Engine That Could_: "I BM> think I can! I think I can!" does not mean race the train through the BM> flashing gate lights! The law of physics wins every time. Even if it's a tie, you lose. DS> It can grow pretty quick...especially the beard. BM> Especially during full moons!! These are TMI, but... I've tried walking around the house (I live alone) in the buff, and that doesn't work. When I took a bus ride from Little Rock, Arkansas to Huntsville, Alabama a few years ago for a ham radio event (with a connection in Memphis and then changing buses in Nashville), I got so cramped by sitting so long. My legs basically turned to water when I tried to stand up, then my pants fell down. Had I not had Depends on, it would have been "full moon rising". :P On that train trip next June, I'll have the walker and my cane with me. BM> Never had a White Castle; before Hy-Vee's remodel did see them in the BM> frozen section occasionally -- probably more I happened to glance at BM> the right section rather than in/out of stock. And probably still BM> stocked, just not looking around in that section. They're gut grenades...basically a small piece of meat, a small slice of cheese, and some grilled onions, on a dinner roll. BM> As for 'chicken fries', I'm thinking a French Fry with a batter coating BM> but could be around here what is referred to as 'chicken fingers': long BM> narrow strips of chicken in a coating, about 3 or 4 inches long by 3/4" BM> wide. I still haven't tried those yet...but with a couple of days of stormy weather, and not going out on the wet roads, I may try them. Daryl .... Try to beat a train to a railroad crossing??
