Hopefully these will give you something to do till the lights come back on.

So why is Principe Prettyboy sitting over there? . . . . .. . . It's rank Hey you guys are no bouquet of roses either

So guess who just got a promotion and a new pair of kneepads!

Perhaps he's been buried.

For some reason, I can't seem to log out. I don't get by as often as I used to but, starting a few months ago, the "sign off" button stopped working and now it no longer appears at all. I can see the "login" button, but apparently I'm already here. I can post, and the member list shows that I've visited in the last twenty-four hours, even if I haven't been at the site in a month. Even as I post this, the "login" button appears at the top of the screen. I've seriously been thinking of becoming a cat burglar as it's well-documented that I'm always here and my alibi is airtight.

Honestly! In these days of rampant cost-cutting, you just never know when you’ll run into a pinchpenny operation without the necessary amenities. Even though my venues are more modest and my needs are few, I always remember to pack an extra fly strip or two.

Well, you're sure good at it! I've never been able to manage even simple changes in Photoshop. Not only do you get elements to merge and colors to match, but you also create pictures without artifacts and without anything that looks out of proportion or phony. Not easy to do. Grateful you're willing to take the time and share the talent!

The suspense is killing me! OZ and Daddy, my favorite pair of suspenders! Good Heavens, we have a tie!

I'm not going to do it That's all there is to it Oops! I've done it again

Really sorry to hear the backstory, AdamSmith, but thanks for letting us know. All I knew was that there was an empty hat where a rabbit used to be. And not just any rabbit, but one who could pull himself out of the hat. You're definitely missed and I hope you won't mind the odd* fan who shadows you over here. * In all senses of the word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/odd

At long last, AdamSmith finishes prototyping the FartMaster 2000 The Power Bellows and hydrogen sulfide will arrive in the morning

Watson's not playing games any more, and now he means business! Just ask the thirty-four workers who lost their jobs at Japan's Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance. The company figures Watson can calculate payouts as well as they can, and will pay for himself in two years. Even though he'll cost $1.7 million to install, and $128 thousand a year to maintain, he'll be saving the company a million dollars a year in salaries. I've often wondered if I'm talking to a robot at my insurance company, and I guess I won't be wondering much longer.

No, this is a hookah bar, not a hooker bar

One time the polls will come in handy, in my opinion, is on election day itself when Trump loses and says it’s because the election was rigged. And you just know the R-word will be the first one out of his oval orifice. If he’s ahead in the polls and he loses, he’ll have at least some credibility. But if he’s behind in the polls and he loses, it will be just one more instance of denial without any foundation.

Never mind where I got the idea! From now on, we're doing preemptive quotes.

There was a terrific Frontline program on last night called The Choice 2016 with profiles of Clinton and Trump. One of the things I was aware of, but hadn't fully appreciated, was the influence Roy Cohn had on the Donald Trump we see today. http://www.pbs.org/video/2365848966/ Trump hired Cohn to defend him and his father against pair's anti-Black rental policies. Apparently, one of the first questions Trump asked Cohn was whether or not he should settle. Cohn's response was immediate and emphatic. He said that Trump should never settle, should never admit guilt, and should come out punching in all directions and as hard as he could. It didn't matter what he hit with, as long as he kept hitting. His opponents would eventually give up. Trump took that advice, including denial even in the face of proof and, as far as I know, has followed that policy to this day. Cohn's influence on Trump was remarkably long-lasting. Trump retained Cohn until Cohn's death and kept a particularly frightening picture of Cohn in his desk drawer. He would pull it out and show it to those who opposed him in any of his "deals" and said that's who they would be dealing with in court.

That's true for me also and why most of my hires have usually been for an hour or two, with only the merest pleasantries exchanged. Just as you say, it's personality shortfalls, rather than physical shortfalls, that will take the bloom right off the rose.
