Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Regarding ex-presidents insulting other presidents:

WILLIAM TAFT (1909-1913) was charged with carrying Roosevelt’s "big stick" as War Secretary. Roosevelt hand-picked him as his successor, declaring there could not "be found in the whole country a man so well fitted to be president." It wasn't long, however, before he was calling Taft a "second-rate flubdub...a fathead and a puzzlewit."

I think I shall endeavor to reintroduce the pejorative "puzzlewit" back into popular usage....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I HAVE MY BOY LOLLIPOP STUCK IN MY HEAD. If memory serves, that's Hec's fault.

At least you now associate it with playful sexy animation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love "second-rate flubdub."

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I want to invent a new musical genre called flubdub.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I want to know what would qualify someone as a first-rate flubdub.

Perhaps the extent of their puzzlewittiness would be a factor.

puzzlewittiness

I kick butt at jigsaw puzzles, does that count?

Interesting: m-w.com doesn't even have puzzlewit. Flubdub is defined as "bunkum, balderdash." What an awesome collection of words!

That which does not kill you should RUN

Next weekend, Ken Ham's Answers in Genesis Creation Museum is scheduled to open near Cincinnati....

Please don't blame me for such a monument to flubdub.
