Subj : Todays Blooper To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Nov 16 2020 08:24:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Been there, done that, got the ketchup and mustard stain. :P BM> They need to offer a bib as a side order! DS> I've wondered if I should have one when I eat out. I think one about the size of what they use at a barber shop should be almost sufficient! DS> Now, I can eat dill pickle potato chips, and ice cream DS> sandwiches...and let folks wonder about me. BM> You're pregnant?! As far as the plate of pickles, I'm not sure I'd go BM> that far but I have taken a few extra pickle slices as a side: have BM> some on the sandwich and some just by themselves. I don't know about BM> that dill pickle potato chip and ice cream combo but guessing along the BM> lines of sweet and sour. And the city of Clinton (IA) upriver from BM> here is named after the governor of New York; guessing the county too. DS> First, if I was pregnant, I'd get a whole lot more than I am on DS> disability. :P Yeah: from child support! DS> Well, the analogy of the joke was pickles and ice DS> cream...cravings. But, every so often...male or female...you get DS> the munchies, and you want something. More often than not, DS> though, I get into one of those "nothing sounds good" moods. Yes, and I think some of that is just too much in the cupboards rather than a real nutritional craving. I will try to snack realtively healthy, but sometimes that bowl of ice cream is just calling my name!! (And how that ice cream got out of the freezer and into the bowl...!) BM> Guess we'll see. Nothing has been announced, or at least that I've BM> seen; hasn't even been a week. No real rush as they have said the BM> tapings are through Christmas Eve Day. Seems odd close to two months BM> out but thinking about it does make sense: allows for things like the BM> expeditions to the Galapagos Islands, on-sight clue tapings, work BM> vacations, etc. DS> Plus, many of the shows now have no audience, per se...because DS> of COVID-19. I heard they were doing that with "The Price Is DS> Right". Well, if there is no audience, they don't have DS> contestants. My guess is there is a group selected as potential contestants which serve as the mini-audience. Some of the shows do not have an audience, or barely one (family/friends in isolated clusters) but there is an 'audience track' to make it sound like things are normal. A couple dozen people making all that cheering and clapping? I don't think so! Personally I find the 'audience track' distracting. BM> I didn't think you were that short a dog would mistake you for a fire BM> hydrant!! DS> A friends' dachshund would. :P He'd also bite my ankles. Before DS> my wife and I became an item, the female dachshund she had was in DS> no mood for me...it pooped on my shoes...and it's name was DS> "Sweetie". Yeah, right. The dachshund was just syaing you should be wearing brown shoes! DS> Just ask Arte Johnson with Ruth Buzzi from Laugh-In. BM> Uh-huh! :) Another show that wouldn't make it now. DS> Arte: Do you believe in the hereafter?? DS> Ruth: Of course I do. DS> Arte: Well, then you know what I'm here after. OK, that one should still work! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
