You know, I’d feel bad about us not getting a post together tonight, but I know for a fact that you just come here for the comments anyway, so it’s no big deal.
Anyway, you’ve got the whole weekend ahead of you and a wad of cash in your sweaty little fist (which is all covered in Cheeto dust), so maybe you could dump a little of it on one of our fine advertisers.
There’s Rogue Amoeba. They make good stuff. Although Kafasis tried to kill me that one time.
Well, there’s also Delicious Monster. The things they can do with an iSight camera. Tell you what. Although Shipley did call me a… well, let’s just say he said I like to do something to dogs that I don’t. Totally. I mean… really. I don’t even know how that would work.
Anyway, that brings us to our new advertisers: Shiny White Box and Many Tricks. They also make boss software and so far neither of their CEOs has tried to kill me or accused me of being into bestiality.
Of course, we’ve only just met so…
I should probably give them some time.
…
Do you think Gruber has this kind of relationship with his advertisers?
I hope to Google that it is the planes.
Planes. Definitely planes.
Happy Fourth guys from the UK cousins.
p.s. Like the South, we WILL rise again.
It’s already time to explode things again? Won’t that contribute to global charring?
Fortunately I like barbecued watermelon.
The next 2 months are the explody season in Michigan.
Opening song for the New Tunnels musical
“Let’s get rich again in Michigan”.
Have a fish again, on a dish again.
We’re using thunder and lightning here this year. It’s “green,” but unfortunately starts the occasional wildfire.
Everyone still has all of their fingers so explody season has started without to many other problems.
Will you take the female lead in our New Tunnels Musical, Del?
Doesn’t Del have to audition like the rest of us?
If you really want the female lead in the musical, Ace I’m sure Del will not object.
The only trouble is finding someone to do the costume fitting.
Fancy a go Del?
I’ll audition for the female lead as long as I have a reasonable assurance that costuming can get my size this time. And I’m buying my own underwear this time, as well. The last time was miserable.
No Autographs.
It would be helpful to hear a synopsis of this musical. Will there be music? A plot? Livestock on stage?
Livestock; definitely livestock.
I’d love to do the costuming. I think I’ve got a codpiece design that will help you sing the female lead.
I’ve also perfected costuming for cattle so we should be good on the livestock front.
The female lead part does not interest me. I would prefer a supporting role, perhaps the lead’s long-suffering platonic friend.
Or maybe a dancing goat.
The producer or director (Nxxx?) ought to chime in and discuss salaries.
Typical bunch of thespians, bitching already.
Situation:-
We have the first lines of two songs, “A Fishy on a Dishy” words and music by Ace and the opening number “Let’s Get Rich Again in Michigan”, too modest to name the composer and lyricist.
Celery is a stringy vegetable, usually bleached and eaten with salt, which is normally kept in the navel when eating on a beach.
What more do you want?
A Fishy on a Dishy. Holy Mackerel. You can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish. You can, however, fish for jokes.
What color is my codpiece? I’ll need a matching garter.
A supporting role Ace? No problem I’ll make a codpiece for you also.
Rip, let’s start with green since Michigan is so green outside right now. Plus it will match your celery.
Does Moltz get a cameo role?

Analysis: Product quality may vary. The Mega-Post remains the postest with the mostest. The Giga-Post had some great adventures, but is considered “old hat” and will likely be overtaken by the Tera-Post within a few months if the numbers hold. The Peta-Post (or Pity-Post) is a nice place to take a nap when the police manage to keep the molesters and pickpockets under control.
I don’t think Moltz has the proper silhouette for a cameo, but if you really want one made that way I’d be happy to accommodate.
YaY to TP for being so resilient during hiatus.
I’ve been practising hitting my jodhpured leg with a riding crop in proper director style.
My leg is quite sore, anyone else want to direct?
Celery? We haven’t even negotiated my celery. But I suppose, green is as good as any.
Nxxx, not that I’m an expert on this, but you are supposed to wear thick knee high leather boots when you do that and smack the boot.
or…ummm so I’ve heard.
Too late. The doctor has signed me off for two years.
What is he going to do with all that brandy and whisk(e)y?
drink it?
It’s supposed to be good for rattlesnake bites. See if you can find a rattlesnake and irritate it.
It’s getting near the jump.
Just noticed my leg bruises are shiny.
Should I invest in a nearby tattoo reading “Designed in California”?
What is this “jump” of which you speak?
What ‘”jump” of which you speak’?
I have not spoked, tiped meyba but no spakes.
When you typed “jump,” what did you mean? What is the meaning of it all? Why does the sun continue to rise in the morning? Where can a fellow get a decent muffin?
What is the the square root of “hip”?
Where can a fellow get a decent muffin? Muffins are large crumpets, so they are available over here. Sadly less so since those American over sweet mis-named fantasies were introduced.
The square root of hip is hop.
Stop body popping immediately.
There’s a bakery in NYC that makes indecent muffins.
Or so I’ve heard.
Does the ‘N’ stand for North as in North York City? That’s only a Dick Turpin away, want me to pop up and check?
The N stands for Nude. That’s why all the muffins are indecent.
Why would a fellow get a decent muffin? A decent muffin’, perhaps, but then we’d have to define a new term, and let’s face it, two terms is plenty.
First to use the word “disintermediated.”
Nude muffins? You cousins are peculiar.
Muffins should be toasted and then smothered in butter and anything else or nothing added.
I feel hungry.
Clothed muffins are nice because the little paper wrapper keeps them from sticking in the pan and allows you to hold the muffing and eat it without getting your fingers sticky.
Nude muffins can be trouble. If you don’t use a wrapper they get stuck in the pan and your hands get all sticky. Of course some people like them that way.
The Google ads are trying to be helpful, but I doubt the suggested muffins are decent.
I found a five-week-old muffin in the kitchen, but what I really want is a recent muffin.
Eat it, Ace.
The strange growths are nutritious.
I quite concur. A muffin’ with fuzzy stuff growing on it is clearly superior to the “nude” variety, with or without paper.
We still haven’t discussed my celery. I’m not really all that interested in my celery, but it’s an issue that should be settled before we move on to more important things.
Also, I don’t like celery in my muffin’. Thank you.
Rip, count me as another not interested in your celery. Your Walla Walla sweets are another matter.
Doesn’t Walla Walla belong in Australia?
Is a scone a muffin that got squashed and went stale?
A scone, pronounced ‘skon’, is about as near a crumpet/UK muffin as a US muffin is to celery, bleached or non-bleached. As you unable to import celery, whether beached or unbleached, sometimes classified as blanched or non blanched, into the US from the EU, I’m afraid you will have to discuss that item amongst yourselves.
Ahh thanks for the clarification Nxxx. In that case they must be nearly identical.
Crumpet, bagel, biscuit, scone, muffin, croissant . . . put them all in a blender and what have you got?
A messy blender?
I prefer my muffins unpapered; much less chewy. (You can line the bottom of each cup in the muffin tin with rolled oats to help ease the removal.)
If the oats have been rolled by someone else, count me out.
BUT THE CELERY QUESTION STILL EXISTS.
