Oh Butterface... So I was checking email when I heard exuberant sounds eminating from the kitchen. Yep, when I went to investigate all three of my critters had their faces in the butterdish on the floor. Odds on it was Devious Daughter who got it off the counter though -- to the delight of Delinquent Dogs. Hmmph. I see I have degenerated into silly alliterations. I'm in that kind of mood.

Ammonia & bleach is a nightmare, we use this stuff called Freedom, which still stinks and is among the slickest substances known to man, but it ain't no ammonia and bleach.
LD, there's this magical thing called a doorknob that when turned allows access through the portal. If my freedom was dependent on a government issued doorstop I don't think I'd last very long in this job.

That means more people need to post stories. I would, but that means I would have to write something first...

First day back at work. Busy night, too. I come home exhausted, take a shower, start to dress. I put my first sock on, then bend over and put my second sock on. I reach for my third sock and feel around a few moments before it hits me---what do I need a third sock for? I've only got two feet...man I was tired.

I could post something from an older stories. I haven't done any short stories for a while, but I have my time back now so maybe I will again soon. Still have lots of ideas.

Yesterday afternoon, I slept for an hour when I first lay down, then fifteen minutes before I got up---for the rest, I tossed and turned. I'm running on fumes right now.

Then, to top it all off, my new glasses came in. Now I've got to get used to how things look out of 'em, tired and all...

Yes the closet was locked but that doesn't change the fact that I had the key. Even when the door was open it was still locked. Even when it's unlocked it is still locked. For it to not be locked I would need a screwdriver, or possibly a hacksaw.

Okay, I think we're having what I call "a COOL HAND LUKE moment." (As in "what we have here is a failure to communicate.")
Pyre Dynasty, I believe LDWriter2 just wanted clarification on how the marks could have been made on the newly waxed floor of a locked closet. You know, as in "locked room mystery" perhaps?

Kathleen and Prye I need to apologize. I thought he might of misstated his sentence by accidently saying it was locked while he was in it. So it was a smart aleck comment to draw his attention to that "mistake". I used quotes because it turns out not to be a misstatement.

Paid for by the Committee to Elect Corky and to Make Civil Discourse Silly Beyond Recognition.

Well, based on my past experience going through the whole damn process, I can already tell you that Wednesday will dawn---assuming anybody goes to bed before the last results are in---and the first phone survey that morning will be on the question, "Who do you like for President in 2012?" (The next thing will be someone declaring himself a candidate within the week.)

I voted early. While waiting in line, I told the woman behind me that I thought I hoped I had enough money to pay the cover charge. She said that she didn't think there was a cover charge. I told her of course she'd say that. Women get in free on Wednesdays so they don't have to pay the cover.

No, you can't. It's on TV, the radio, in the mail, on your answering machine. On the local News. Even in my local area there is talk of voter fraud, pressuring the county clerk to do early voting and really off the wall ads for a country commissioner. That's never happened with a CC before.

Blast from the past...last week, I watched this Lord Peter Wimsey DVD, "Murder Must Advertise." They're a BBC series of five multiparters from the 1970s, starring the late Ian Carmichael as Dorothy L. Sayers's Wimsey. I watched them all...but this was the only one I missed the first time around. (Read the book, of course, but I really didn't remember that much of it.) Good stuff...period pieces, set in the 1920s and 1930s, like the books...I enjoyed it.
The thing is, part of the plot involved cocaine smuggling. What startled me was the amount of cocaine. They were making a big deal about these distributors who were hauling it around in these eensey-weensey itty-bitty packets...and when you're used to seeing the cops of here-and-now stop guys who are hauling it around in ginormous bales, it sees much ado about nearly nothing...

Sorry LD I knew what you were driving at and was playing the smart aleck myself.
I tried to vote for Corky but I might have accidentally poked the wrong hole, and I didn't push hard enough. So if you find a hanging or dimpled chad for the other guy remember to count it for Corky.
I also have a calc II test on Friday over power series representations... I might have to retake calc II. I am not a happy camper right now.
Of course, I could just move to the mountains and forget about school and society and technology and then I'd be a happy camper. Or maybe not, I like electricity and hot water. I guess I just can't be happy anywhere.

If nominated I shall not run, and if elected I shall not serve. I've had enough of government service working for the post office...

Which makes you a prime presidential candidate, although we may have to lock you in the oval office till you promise to behave. (Hey that's an idea for a story, the one who gets to be president is the one who doesn't want to do the job the most.)
In my class I've been dependent on a game of email tag to get a project done. I lost, it's gonna take special dispensation for me to pull this thing off.
That reminds me do you know that Bob Hope ran? For as long as his TV special lasted many years ago. But he had to stop because a school pupil reminded him that he was born in England.

Hey, I know places where you can argue whether or not a certain Presidential somebody was or was not born within the United States, and therefore is or is not eligible to be President.

I know, but those people may have gotten the idea years ago from the Bob Hope run.
Humph, don't blame me that Mr. Hope started this 20 plus ears ago. Come to think of it may have been in the Seventies when he was doing a lot of TV specials. He probably thought if an actor could run a comedian could run...for an hour anyway. As I just recalled he almost got Sammy Davis Jr. to run as Vice President.

Walt Kelly used to run a "Pogo for President" campaign within his comic strip. It worked until Pogo started drawing some write-in votes in the actual elections...

Ah, comic strips...two of my favorites came to the bitter end last month. First "Cathy," with great fanfare and publicity...then "Cleats," with barely a whimper---I mean, I didn't even hear it was ending until the last week...

Robert, I know what you mean about "Cathy", I loved that one. They are running reruns on at least one of the comics sites. I missed a year or two so I can use this time to catch up and also see ones I have forgotten.
The part I missed is where she married her original boyfriend. But I'm glad the way she ended it even though she could have gone all the way through the nine months.
