People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

We are already almost half an hour into the Cornish Hen Crisis. Tensions have been steadily building during that time but STILL no poems about cornish hens have been produced! It is unclear how much longer this state of affairs can be tolerated. It can't be long before the finger pointing begins.
I don't see Hink offering any cornish hen poems. Just sayin'....

You know how they give you a few seconds to say your name, so the recorded operator voice says "You have a collect call from....". Well my office-mate's ex was in jail a few months ago, and his phone rang. Apparently when he answered it he heard "You have a collect call from.... I hope you die you fucking bastard!!"

Just give me one reason to stay here... and I'll turn right back around....

To The Gibbery Cornish Hen
There's a seaside of course all around,
though the wind and the weather I found
could not keep me for long
and no prayer or song
would entice me to stay year 'round.
I am speaking of Cornwall (the coast)
where at night the old Cornish ghost
flies from cottage to sea
like a spirit that's free
but the hen is the genuine host.
In this region the hardy will stay,
when it rains they go out just to play,
once their T-shirts are soaked
it's like pectorals stroked
they go in and write poems, I say!
I owe thanks to that kind Cornish lass,
so much talent and oodles of class,
when the night got too dark
in the loneliest park
she was standing there, near the crevasse.
If the soul in a person is pure
all the goodness will surely endure,
neither riches nor looks
nor a million good books
is a match for the word reassure.

I wonder if the UP will have a White Christmas. I hope there is a crap load up snow up there. Lake Michigan needs to be filled up too!

I broke the Christmas music out Monday and switched the Pandora station to "Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head" channel Monday.
I really liked Ursus's work rant yesterday. The joys of working in the public sector..
Yes, I am old enough to remember collect calls and placed a couple in my college days. Ursus's post on collect calls is a classic.
When did I go from Luke Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi?

So I wore cords today. They look stupid to me. I have no idea if cords are "out" or "in" but I've lost 10 pounds and they fit again so I felt I should wear them.
On the plus side, it is the fabric of kings that I'm feeling rubbing my legs. That's nice.![]()

I got a bag of pistachio nuts from an architecture firm. I'm not sharing them.
A pistachio is what a peanut hopes to be when it grows up.

I am sooooo close to so many Cyburbians now and still have not met any of them.
Time to put the smack down.
Occupy Your Brain!
I think I am going to need some time at the gym with the heavy bag tonight after my meeting.
