[maillotpois]

Thanks for the update, Salsa!

Yeah, BMo3, Betalgirl, where are they now?

Nanci is such a special soul. I loved her posts and miss hearing her adventures. Maybe in 2008, she'll start posting again.

I always thought it was because my son got a snake. Once he got a snake, Nanci left. Snakes don't like other snakes. Maybe she was worried her snake would find out about his snake.

She is now up to 11 snakes, a second toad, and also this fabulous creature, Isabel:Attachment 4992

Think silly thoughts, think silly thoughts

Half the day I go around with the Helsinki Complaints Choir going around in my head. It's really hard to listen to Finnish singing in your head when you don't even know the language.

[mimitabby]

how many times did you listen to that choir, Salsa???

[salsabike]

Maybe 3 or 4 times--listened to it once when it was first posted here, played it for dinner guests Saturday night, played it once more for someone else...it doesn't take much for me to get the music-in-the-head earworm thing. I think I posted here once about that. I'm always giving Chris the song report---"Now it's "Casey Jones"! Now it's "Tiny Bubbles!". It's often stuff I really hate and wouldn't listen to voluntarily. At least I know the form my madness will take, when it comes (or maybe it already has...).

Thought about posting this in Humor, but realized there really isn't any cycling humor in it. I really have to find out what that accordian player's name was...

From the Manitoba Herald, Canada (a very underground paper):
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has
intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop
the illegal immigration.

The actions of President Bush are prompting the exodus among left-leaning
citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with
Bill O'Reilly.

Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology
professors, animal- rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields
at night.

'I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood
producer huddled in the barn,' said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose
acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and
hungry. 'He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.
When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show
him my screenplay, eh?'

In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher
fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that
blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. 'Not real effective,' he said. 'The
liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't
give milk.'

Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals
near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them
across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.

'A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions,' anOntario
border patrolman said. 'I found one carload without a drop of drinking
water. 'They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though.'

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often
wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have
been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps
in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR
races.

In recent days, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of
crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to
buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young
vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began
stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers on Perry Como
and Rosemary Clooney hits to prove they were alive in the '50s.
'If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we
get suspicious about their age,' an official said.

Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating
an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon
movies.

'I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't
support them,' an Ottawa resident said. 'How many art-history majors does
one country need?

[mimitabby]

that's quite funny. and I'm a liberal!

[salsabike]

Shoot, and I was planning on going there too...
