Bada Bing!

I’m getting a Ph.D. so when I get something in the mail that I’ve purchased, I can say, “Ah, just what the doctor ordered!” every single time until I die!

Romeo: Juliet is the sun!Neil deGrasse Tyson: (loudly from the balcony) NO SHE ISN’T!

She passed on the scalloped potatoes because “I really don’t like seafood.” It was at that moment that I knew she was dumb enough to sleep with me.

I was at the store and there was an X on the floor by the register marking the place for me to stand. I’ve seen too many road runner cartoons to fall for that crap.

How do you stop Canadian bacon from curling in your pan? You take away their little brooms.

People on benefits aren’t negatively affecting your life in the slightest. Your life sucks because of the rich, and blaming people on benefits is exactly what they want you to do.

They say it’s better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable.But how about a compromise like moderately well off and moody?

Dad! I need your help. I’ve got a flat tire. Can’t your husband help? I called him but he’s busy. OK, do you have a spare? I called him too but he didn’t answer.

Bats now use the term “trumpshit crazy”.

The look on your face when you try to leave work a little early and your boss reminds you that you have 7 hours left.

Teacher: Name a book that made you cry. Me: Algebra.

Just helped a neighbor bury a rolled-up carpet in the woods. Her boyfriend would’ve done it, but he’s out of town.

I played a game of quiet tennis today. It’s like regular tennis but without the racket.

I’ve reached the age where my train of thought often leaves the station without me.

A big storm is coming and everyone is buying Milk, bread, and eggs. Apparently, during a storm, you’re supposed to make french toast.

I got an email saying, “At Google Earth, we can read maps backward!” I thought, “That’s just spam.”

I haven’t lost all my marbles yet, but there’s definitely a small hole in the bag somewhere.

On this day in 1964, the Beatles scored their first number one hit in the U.S.

It’s cold. These days it seems like many of us are wrapped up in current events there is so much going on in the world and in our lives. But we forget that the past was filled with events and people then were concerned for their lives and welfare – wars, disease, famine, political upheaval, economic disaster and so forth were all concerns 300 years ago about when this music was composed. Enjoy…and relax.

Today is ‘Heroes Day’ in Guinea Bissau and Cabo Verde. It commemorates those who fought for independence and is set on the anniversary of the death of Amilcar Cabral. Cabral was a leader of independence movements in West Africa. He established The African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde in 1956 and, in 1963, disillusioned by Portugal’s use of force to suppress demonstrations, the party launched a military campaign for independence. Cabral was shot on January 20, 1973 just a few months before Guinea Bissau gained independence.
