Uh oh! Guess what today is? Hey Elyse – Do you know what today is? Come on Rich, just say it. Carrie, guess what today is? Lame, Lame, Lame – I know you can hear me! What day is it? Woo hoo!!!!! …. (I couldn’t resist)
No change with my mother-in-law – not better, not worse – but it still weighs on our minds.
Act 9 of Time: The Musical returns with the next post. Theme is extended time featuring songs with words in the title as decade(s), century(s), era(s), and others. Years is acceptable if and only if number is at least 100, but a specific year in the future is unacceptable. Curtain time is 9:30 pm (Eastern US).
I plan to announce a new occasional feature in the next Opinions in the Shorts. Sorry, but it has nothing to do with The Nincompoop.
Time for your midweek dose of satire courtesy of The Onion. Any of the below tickle your funny bone? For those who enjoy the extra challenge, make a new headline from the words below. My combo is at the end. Have a good rest of the week.
Unpaid internship a really great experience for local company
Group of friends engage in passionate, incoherent discussion about current events
Report: There are only 17 total square miles on Earth where gays are not discriminated against
Father teaches son how to fly into rage over inconsequential bullshit
Lady doesn’t know how she does it, but she just came up with another strong password
Weird black dot actually part of bowl
Area teen running out of chances to be first openly gay anything
Last night was beginning of the end as pillow folded in half for first time
Terrified laptop wakes up inside case
Amusement park employee sick of talking down visitors from bad acid trips
My Combo: Incoherent friends engage in passionate experience with black dot on pillow
Although I feel for the terrified laptop, my favorite it seeing the quality time between father and son as the habit of flying into a rage is practiced. Maybe that is a new America value, at least as often exhibited on Facebook. Thanks for the lift on hump day!
