The Mayor will soon be fabulously wealthy! (Even more wealthy than he is now, and ever dreamed he'd be).

.

Our good buddy, The Mayor (who I have personally virtually known now for about 86 blog years) is fixin' to be fabulously wealthy!

And, that kinda' sucks for us all...because he'll probably resign as Mayor, shut down his blog, and buy Tahiti (or at least 70 or 80 Tahitians to satisfy his every want/desire/whim/whatever).

He's that kind of a guy...

It'll be good for the less fortunate in this world, though.  I have it on good authority that he gives almost 4% of his income to charities (which puts him about 400% ahead of 96% of US Democrats.  And, he's a Canadian, which gives him extra credit, due to the fact that he is taxed by his gubmit even more than we are, and has less to give.  (Most of his charity giving goes to stuff like feeding starving children, saving half-dead/beaten/handicapped seals, and buying (and giving away for a small charge) new "magnetized cause ribbons" that folks stick on they carz.

Them magnetized cause ribbon deals that people stick on they cars do a helluva lot of good for they cause, too!

He's that kind of a guy...

Most of you probably don't know this, but His Honour is a real trendsetter in the blogosphere.  Mitch (not his real name) was the guy who initially conceived "Humpday Hottie."  Really...he was...and we shall forever be in his debt.

He did that probably a million years before anybody else.  Now, hundreds of thousands (if not billions) of bloggers post their "Humpday Hottie" posts on Wednesday, with photos of scantily clad chicks (or just plain nekkid).  Do they ever give The Mayor credit for the idea?  

Naw!!!

You might not know it, but he also was the ground-breaker in "Hot, or Not?" (Wherein "stupposedly sexy" celebrities are lampooned, and given their comeuppance).  That one has been copied by several thousand bloggers.  Do they ever give His Honour, The Mayour the credit?

Naw!!!

And, one of my most favorite trends he started several years ago is "MENSA Friday," wherein he poses questions posed to MENSA candidates, to see how good you can do at it.  I don't usually do all that good, but occasionally I will copy and paste answers from commentors that have commented before I did, and I'll get 'em right.  

(One of the highest honors honours I've had as a blogger was to be allowed to pinch hit for The Mayor one summer doing the MENSA Friday deal when The Mayor was intellectually spent, and needed a break.  It wore me out, too.  But, doing your part for the cause is what life is all about.  I guess).

To be honest, that trend hasn't caught on real good yet.

But, I'm sure it will.

Will they give His Honour the credit when it does?

Naw!!!

But, one thing The Mayor learned early on is how to profit from his creativity.  Eons ago, he started using "targeted ads" in his sidebar.  And, I know for a fact that they have served him well.  I hear tell that he bought his current fleet of armored SUV's from the targeted ads alongside one post he did about Michelle Obama right before the Inauguration of her husband in 2009.  If memory serves, he referred to Michelle as a "howler monkey."  (Don't quote me...it could have been "Future First Lady.")  

Regardless, in his sidebar appeared a click-through advertisement where you could buy "The Michelle Obama Inaugural Ball Princess Figureeeeeeem."  (It was porcelain, too).  I think it was ONLY $39.95 (USD), and the click-throughs went through the roof!  The Mayor really cashed in on that one.

He's that kind of a guy...

Anyway...I was looking at the Mayor's blog today, just breathlessly awaiting one of his lesser known, trend-setting, regular (somewhat regular...it's been a coon's age since he posted one) features, "Piece Of Art, Or Piece of Shit?"  (POAOPOS in worldwide computer shorthand).  

Sure enough, he done one!

I was proud.

When I clicked on the POA or POS post, I was astounded!  His Honour, The Mayour has finally hit the big 22 on the roulette wheel with all his chips on 22.  (Okay...I'm faking/reaching/hoping here...not sure a roulette wheel has a #22...regardless, he's gonna get rich and buy him lots of Tahitians).  

(click it)  

Ka-Ching!!!!

Dang!  The Mayor's click-through sidebar has covered just about everything.  It tells you a link where you can find a piece of art, or a piece of shit at MonsterMarketplace...or you can get "answers" about "Piece Art piece shit" at www.Answered-....and it looks like that same "answered" dealie can even help you find a piece of art or shit "near you!"

What could be better?  I mean, a local POS that you probably never would have knowed about had it not been for them targeted ads!!!

His Honour, The Mayour is gonna get filthy, stinkin' rich on this one.  I just know it.

The good thing is that he likes me.  I think.  And, he might let me ride herd on his newly acquired Tahiti folks!

That would be a bitchin' job!  And, I could use it, seein' as Santa Clause is comin' to town.

And, pretty soon, too.  (Unless The Mayans were right)

So, y'all need to mosey on over there, and click on them sidebar ads big-time...maybe four or five thousand times...if you've got nothing better to do.  

And, I know you don't.  It's Monday night.  Go click through, and find more info on pieces or art, or pieces of shit (POAOPOS) in your area.  

Do it for the chirrens!

NEVER...NEVER...NEVER...

My friend, Pat Austin, snapped this shot at the nursing home where her Mama lives.

NEVER give up the fight!!!

This is cruel...

But, there is so much packed in to this one .gif that it MUST be viewed.

LSUfreek is back.

Pollen count...

.

Comments on the previous post put me in mind of something.


The first time I ever commented over at Dapper Dan's joint, it had to do with the subject of pollen.


I still chuckle when I think about that one.

.

Dry spell...

.

It happens.  

I haven't had much worth posting lately. 


Truth is, I've been forcing what I DO post.


Sure, I've got a million thoughts on the Presidential Election, Limbaugh's slut deal, and a gozillion really funny pitchers.


It just seems that when I get a few minutes to sit down to write/post/whatever, none of it seems all that valuable.  


Now, this is odd...For over four years, I've posted junk whether it was valuable or not.


But now...


Not so much.


Hey, here's a pitcher of a desperate canine!

I reckon when you're that ugly, you'll take what you can get.


Here's a pretty funny joke about a gal going to a nymphomaniac convention!   (I told this one today, and all the ladies just laughed like hyenas).


Truth is, I've got something on my mind that I can't seem to figure out a way to write about on an open glob.


Maybe I'll just hand write it out on a piece of paper...read it a couple of times...maybe keep it in the nightstand to look back at, or throw it away.


It's been a loooooooooong time since I've used the "write something out by hand therapy" deal.  


I know it works.


At least it helps.


Hey, here's a great poster of a raccoon making a statement that we all wish we'd have said at one time, or wish someone had said to us before we made a complete ass of ourselves.

Okay, so it ain't really a 'coon.


But, I think I'll take the advice anyway...

.

Hey y'all! If you haven't been reading MUD's Vietnam tour chronicles, you've been really missing out.

.

MUD has been chronicling stories from his time in Vietnam (Don't think they had much snow in Vietnam, but they do in Kansas).  I have personally enjoyed the heck out of them.


If you've got some time on your hands, go over there and spend some of it reading through the posts of the last few weeks.


You won't be sorry.

Will Timbow do it?

.

A Barksdale Airman wants a date with Timbow.


Will he do it?


Well heck, I would if I was him!

Just sayin'...

Looks like half of BAFB is pullin' for the gal.

C'mon, Timbow!  Do the Zoomies a solid!!!


(Stolden off Pat Austin)

Well, I posted a link on The Facebook, and sent computer letters to other virtual friends, and EVERYBODY seems to like Woody's work...so...

.

I reckon I should link at it on this Titanic of a glob, too!


RON PAUL!!!  RON PAUL!!!  RON PAUL!!!


Woody should post more often.


Just sayin'...

Local blogger peels back the Jindal facade on "American Thinker."

.

Many of my blog buddies around the nation have questioned me as to why I am less than thrilled with my goober, Bobby Jindal.


Jindal has been touted by Limbaugh, Hannity, and a gaggle of conservative pundits & publications as one of the true, rock-ribbed conservatives coming along to lead the Republican Party to conservative greatness.  Nationally, you will hear (and read) nothing but high praise for our great "reform governor," Bobby Jindal.


It's really mostly a sham.


Today, the American Thinker blog features northwest Louisiana blogger Pat Austin, as she takes apart a good little chunk of the myth.  There is more, really.  Much more.  But, Pat throws enough "fact" at the fudging to hopefully open some national eyes.  And prayerfully, to get Bobby to straighten up and do what we hired him to do in the first place...to go beat the snot out of the folks in Baton Rouge that have kept us at the bottom forever, and not play their silly, destructive games.


Congratulations, Pat.  And, excellent work!

BTW, Pat's blog is parked here.

I want to do this.

I saw this over at Harvey's joint.

Sunday Morning Quarterback - Week 3

.

Corch Inno does the heavy lifting.  

Of course, he didn't Quarterback until Sunday evening, and I'm not linking the piece until Monday morning.

Hey!  We're busy!

The only problem I have with the "The Iraq War Was Wrong" blog...

...is that Iraqwarwrong does not post nearly often enough.


He's got one up this morning.  And, I for one am glad the Baghdad Museum has not been forgotten.  

Put him on your The GoobleReader©. When he does post, it is always with passion, clarity, and truly representative of...well, of...well...

 Insanity doesn't run in my family: it walks through rather leisurely, looking for anyone it might have missed.

Heh! I resemble that remark...

Since everybody's blogging about the weather...

.


Me, too!  Me, too!  Me, too!

Pat, from And So It Goes In Shreveport did the heavy lifting on the screengrab.  Funny...Pat taught #3 son in High School.  When I came across her blog, and realized who she was, I mentioned it to #3 son.  I showed him her blog, and he said, "Oh yeah...but, she wasn't really like a teacher.  She was like a real person."


That's about as good as it gets from #3 son, so take that as high praise, Pat.


106?  Really?


Yep!


But, it's been hotter.  And, it's been hotter for longer (but not much longer).


Y'all won't hear me bitch about hot weather.  Many of us have short memories.  Not me.


To steal a concept from our good Okie buddy, Staci...


106? That like 742 in dog heat, or sumthin'!!!


...two, three, four...


C'mon! Sure, you might not be laughing now, but you will use that at least three times today.


Trust me.

This story is several days old, so you've probably read it, or something similar by now.  There is much speculation that ObozO was taken off guard by the SEAL raid that killed Osama.


I'm not sure if this article is accurate.  But, it's food for thought.  And, given the fact that ObozO truly is a feckless, simpering moronic wuss, it likely is.


I just figured I'd pass along the link.

Thanks, PeaGreen!

Sometimes linkage is not really optional. Sometimes it's "mandatory."

Like when you read a post that's really funny...and you've been singled out in it.

It's a rule.

Say Cheeeeeeeese!!!

Nice shot!

Seen at Sully's Joint.

I just had the best laugh I've had in Daaaaaaaaays!

Go look at Basil's post,  "Yes the birth certificate is real!"


Don't bother to thank me.
