Only 54 shopping days till Xmas (plus: a caption contest)
caption: “Sweater? I just met her!”
Posted by Keir on from The Hague (Jackowski election hdqts) 10/31 at 07:36 AM“Hillary? Go into politics someday? Don’t be ridiculous, young lady...”
Okay, I asked Mickey but will put it out here-- I need a suggestions for last minute notice Halloween party I’m going to tonight. Anyone help me out...?
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 10/31 at 07:42 AMGood morning Mickey, Keir, and James. About last nite’s comments #13 from David, I agree. The cost of food very often determines what anyone eats...not only single mothers, but the elderly, and also those working at jobs that don’t pay a livable wage. I will be eating beans and rice (when I have the money for the beans) for a long time now. Today I am dealing with my property tax bill, an issue for a lot of people. The tax on my tiny house is almost $3000 this year.
AND #14....Barstoolcadaver. I liked your colorful language. My good friend is being Arraigned in a court in Vermont on Dec 12 for using the word, “shits”.Posted by RMJ on from Churchill 4 Prez Hdqts 10/31 at 08:18 AMForgot to say that I really like the matching sweaters in the photo. That’s a sign of true love...when they start to coordinate their wardrobes.
Posted by RMJ on from Churchill 4 Prez Hdqts 10/31 at 08:20 AMPeter tried to win Barbara over by buying matching his and hers sweaters, but, despite the gifts, she broke off the relationship, complaining that his eyes always always seemed wander below her neck.
Posted by Jeremy on from Taipei 10/31 at 08:22 AMso ehh, like, ehh, do ya come here often?
how bout osama james r does that go down ok there, fust a sheet a walking stick n a dialysis machine n your set… mornin all
Posted by declan on from the west of ireland 10/31 at 08:36 AMgood one declan… can’t comment for rest of day, only read, but thanks in advance…
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 10/31 at 08:53 AM“Doris invoked her Black Panther past and another sweater argument was won.”
Posted by Mew on from london 10/31 at 09:12 AMGood day Expendables…
My captions are stolen, both from the same source (you get one guess)
“...this is a special cigarette. All the rage with the college girls… in Paris.”
or
“Mary Jane, oh Mary Jane. You conquered me like Charlemagne”
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/31 at 10:13 AMReefer Madness?
Posted by Jeremy on from Taipei 10/31 at 11:19 AMJimbo always got a kick out of making his wife Barbara wear a matching sweater to family functions...little did he know Barbara was planning on making this Jimbo’s last Christmas party.
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 10/31 at 11:25 AMGood one, Keir…
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 10/31 at 11:26 AMReefer Madness it is
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/31 at 12:11 PMAh yes, there’s nothing like a photo caption contest to liven things up around here.
Hello Expendables. It’s a warm, sunny Halloween here...so warm that it’s brought out lots of women in the old reliable short skirt/fishnet stockings “costume.”
More soon...(from me, not the fishnets)
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 10/31 at 12:24 PMAh, yes the ‘slutty vampire’ is the popular alternative to the french maid get-up.
("uncovered meat” doesn’t always seem like such an entirely innacurate analogy, does it?)I really wish it weren’t so challenging to buy necessary clothing without supporting a sweatshop or having to buy clothes online.
VERY difficult to find things that aren’t made in China, Bangladesh, Taiwan, etc.Any Expendable suggestions or experiences?
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/31 at 12:43 PMAmelopsis, second hand is a doubly good alternative when it’s available. That or---as with food---you have to pay extra for having a conscience.
In the roti shop (mmmm) just now saw on the CNN screen that Americans would spend 60 dollars each today on candy. Feh!
Posted by Keir on from The Hague (Jackowski election hdqts) 10/31 at 12:56 PMNice recipe, Keir, and yes the second hand is great, it’s the rest that’s very difficult to afford my conscience and I must admit that quite often price wins out. Another something to bemoan and attempt to improve.
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/31 at 01:11 PMFunny you should mention “borrowing.” I came within an eyelash of inserting one rule: All captions must be direct quotes from Dubya, Hillary, or Huey P. Newton.
Btw, I must say I love all of the above entries but, after one read, I’m partial to #1 and #8.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 10/31 at 01:20 PMCAPTION: “Mark Foley’s answer to the Black Panther Party --the Blue Sweater Brigade-- requires that all pages dress in drag.”
Posted by Kap Fulton on from San Diego, CA 10/31 at 01:41 PMCan’t think of a caption right now, Mickey - but thanks for reminding me of how close Christmas is. The giving of presents will largely be limited to the kids, which is good.
‘Hello’ to all my fellow expendables. Another sunny day in Daylesford - and the drought goes on.
Auf Wiederemailen,
HelgaPosted by Helga Fremlin on from Daylesford, Australia 10/31 at 04:26 PMMickey I stand by my first caption, but had you insisted on your rule, I might have come up with something like this:
Hillary: Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right.
Huey: There will be no prison which can hold our movement down.
Posted by Keir on from The Hague (Jackowski election hdqts) 10/31 at 06:25 PMCaption: “Both of them refusing to change, Edna and Dick spent the rest of their honeymoon in uncomfortable silence. Here’s to the happy couple!”
Posted by Ender on from Detroit, MI 10/31 at 06:28 PMI may need to call in an assistant judge for this one. I like ‘em all.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 10/31 at 07:53 PMhi everybody..
sorry to be late for the photo contests but unfortunately , lately (no pun intended)thats my usual m.o.so i think he’s saying “why do you have to always wear what i’m wearing”!
or “ that is one ugly sweater!”
or with that mean face she is giving him, it could be that he just said “ is it that time again?”
Posted by michele on from kitchen table 11/01 at 06:02 AMI never use condoms son, and you’re living proof
Posted by Rev on from San Clemente, CA 11/01 at 05:01 PMCAPTION: “I don’t care what section you bought it in, it’s a MAN’S sweater!”
Posted by Dr Shatterhand on from east of west nowhere 11/01 at 07:00 PM
