@REM1875- While reviewing the y...@Dan- And to you!<br /><br />@REM1875- While reviewing the year's output, it dawned on me that it's been awhile since I've featured bikini-clad women delivering punchlines (which I called "The Tan O'Clock News"). I really need to bring that feature back...<br /><br />@Geoff King- That's a glass half full sentiment! Which is why I'm draining the glass completely, and will then refill it.<br /><br />@Brie Camembert- That clip nicely summarizes my approach to life (grin).<br /><br />@Roger Myers- "Celebrities" come and go, but losing Charles was a gut punch. I watched "Special Report" solely to hear Dr. Krauthammer as often as possible, and he never disappointed. I so miss that man, and we've never needed him more.<br /><br />@Jim Irre- Yay! At least all of the nonsense I'm recapping is more or less <i>behind us</i> at this point.<br /><br />@Prudence Provolone- But when I think about 2019, Han Solo's words come to mind: "I've got a bad feeling about this."<br /><br />@Fred Ciampi- Thanks for sharing! Walt Kelly is one of my heroes. A fantastic artist and razor-sharp wit. <br /><br />@Bruce Bleu- The portrait of Michelle is flat out trash. Lifeless, no depth, no meaning - a complete artistic failure. Barry's portrait is better executed, but the "artist" mostly just "conceptualizes" his works, then hires cheap Chinese laborers to do the actual brushstrokes. What a scam.<br /><br />@Rod- Very sorry about your personal situation, and glad that my humor was of sporadic value (I like to set low bars for myself). But believe me, I was <i>never</i> worried about losing Barry - only looking forward to his departure. Unfortunately, he seems to be what we call a "floater" in the toilet of life, and won't actually go away.<br /><br />@Casey Carney- Hey, I'm having a drink with all of you right now (really)! I couldn't spend New Year's Eve with a greater bunch of people!<br /><br />@Sally Jo- I'm glad you enjoy the posts. Thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />@CC- Damn, that DOES look like a big Chips Ahoy cookie! Now we know why Keebler has been showing us cartoon elves instead of their real workers.<br /><br />@B.C.- Thank you for the high, and quite possibly volatile, praise!<br /><br />@John the Econ- Great bullet points! And regarding Donna Brazile, I'm guessing she's got an envelope of information somewhere which will automatically get sent out if she ever dies mysteriously.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- You make a great point. As I've reviewed everything over the past year, so many of the "big, important" stories turned out to be sand castles - gone and forgotten with the rising tide of whatever story washed in next. It's a good reminder that we shouldn't take the "news" - or ourselves - too seriously.<br /><br />@Sortahwitte- I tend to skip the MSM wrap ups of the year's news, though I WILL seek out Dave Barry's annual review just to enjoy seeing the master at work. And I, too, am going to try the "water off a duck's back" routine in 2019. I'll pay attention, but they can't make me <i>care</i>. (wry grin)<br /><br />@Pete (Detroit)- It really is incontestable that Jarrett and Dr Zaya have a "separated at birth" quality. Although Dr Zaya is considerably hotter.<br /><br />@Gee M- My wit is basically the candy sprinkles atop the thick chocolate frosting which is the actual news. Only that <i>ain't</i> chocolate frosting...<br /><br />@Anonymous- Happy New Year to you, too!<br /><br />@SFMEDIC- I'm told you can quickly establish dominance by identifying the pack leader and then humping his leg. Then again, I might have read that in a dog training manual.<br /><br />@Rod- Holy crap, that's the worst idea for a game show ever! I get short of breath just thinking of it! Granted, I'll probably still try to Google it...Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-13525321662704253562018-12-31T19:10:14.505-06:002018-12-31T19:10:14.505-06:00Been listening to the blitherers on TV go on and o...Been listening to the blitherers on TV go on and on about "comprehensive immigration reform."<br /><br />It struck me a while back that not one of them has defined what they see as comprehensive immigration reform.<br /><br />I realize that's on purpose, but it'd be nice if one of the counter-blatherers would at least ask one of the blitherers to define comprehensive immigration reform.<br /><br />But what the hey -- I'll say again, Happy New Year, everyone!<br /><br />Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668828493801753456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-54085134574191054732018-12-31T17:44:16.639-06:002018-12-31T17:44:16.639-06:00Gee M - Excellent news!

The term has also been used over the years for enclosed Motorcycle drums one sees at carnivals & circus; and for several short-track speedways. <br /><br />I recently learned of another Thunderdome, surely based on the Mad Max cage because that's what it used to look like, before being broken up by severe storms. THIS Thunderdome (the remaining large and scattered pieces of it anyway) are underwater at Turks & Caicos. It's now an excellent shallow water dive site. Lot of marine life in 40' depth.<br /><br />The origin for this was a French television company with a stupid concept of having free divers (breath-holders) enter the cage to get "Pearl" tokens (good for money topsides). Their their immediate choice was grab a few "pearls" on one breath & (safely) head up; or take some big chances by heading for mermaids just outside the cage with supplies of scuba air. Some were nice mermaids and some not so nice... and keep grabbing pearls. Gas laws upon ascent will tell you this is dangerous as hell; the show didn't last long after several free divers suffered air embolisms; but none died. We very much enjoyed 2 day & 1 night dive at this broken Thunderdome the easy way: with scuba & no hurry.

Quite frankly, I wish there had been an actual Russian candidate I could have voted for. After all, they are much more effective with their taxpayer money than anyone in this country is.<br /><br /><b>A million young Barack Obamas:</b> Considering that unemployment is at an historic low and employers are struggling to find useful labor that they can hire, I can't think of anything we need less of than another million young Barack Obamas. Our colleges are already pumping out plenty.<br /><br /><b>UnPlanned UnParenthood:</b> If I was a college student today I could be a victim too, as a man who will never know the joy of having an abortion. Is there a scholarship for that yet?<br /><br /><b>Comey's Book:</b> Like with the Clintons, anyone who bought this guy's book should demand a refund. After all, as a guy who recently responded "I don't know" how many times during the FISAGate hearings, how could anyone take anything in his book the least bit seriously?<br /><br /><b>The Forever First Lady:</b> Is she full of herself or what? Just another example of the <i>ever hardening bigotry of low expectations</i> that surround these two. Could you imagine if any other first lady had said anything remotely like this?<br /><br /><b>Rosanne gets fired and Samantha Bee's Vagina mouth:</b> But in the age of #MeToo, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/10/27/560346405/snoop-dogg-takes-on-a-new-role-game-show-host" rel="nofollow">somehow this guy gets a new show</a>.
