The cold blast is in the process of celebrating Elvis’s birthday by leaving the building. Well, that’s for me, but the US east coast is still feeling the blast.
How your week going so far? Mine has been a bit hectic, thus why you haven’t been making my rounds as much this week.
A reminder to all that the next post is Time: The Musical (Act 12). With Seasons as the theme, song title must include season(s), fall/autumn, winter, spring, or summer in the title – but not in the form of a compound word as summertime. Something else to mull over, be careful of using fall in a context that isn’t a season. Curtain time is Wednesday, 9:30 PM (Eastern USA).
It’s time for the first mid-week dose of satire of 2014! It’s also the first opportunity to accept the creative challenge by forming your very own original satirical headline. But, here’s the twist to the challenge – You can only use the words in the headlines below. My original combo is at the end of the live.
Have a good rest of the week!

I was the guy with no ideas that Apple unveiled. I thought they were just going to pull back a curtain. I didn’t panic until they started to remove my clothing. That’s prohibited by Geneva Convention….and good taste. 😕

You panic? No way someone with your intellectual fortitude would be spoofed by Apple. Then again, once they started removing your clothes, all is understandable. Glad to see the winter blast hasn’t iced over your dose of Erickson-like wit.

Been a crazy week. The weather messed up the regular schedule programming in the household. Yesterday was my first day back in the office since mid December. I’ coping with the fact that I didn’t win the lottery during my time off & had to go back to work. Lots of new projects for the new year. But – it’s all good – job security I say!
