Red heads..Cancerians what more could a pure bred Aussie need besides toilet rolls & tissues?

I like the cut of your jib, Merc

Jenny!

Sooo ...
You sound kinda like this ...

... only higher pitched? -- On account of you being a woman, of course

Check the blog date, 'Nastics.

RE: 2020 - 2008 Something's not right

YES! As a matter of fact I DO!

I recently referred folks interested in alternative energy technology to ...

"Where are you from?"

When outside Murka, I and Ginger Daughter named Rose are generally presumed to be from Ireland.
Curious, as neither of us have a drop of Irish blood in us -- Go figure

St. Pat's Day is a few days off, but here's to Daughter (VERY Cancer, AND Ginger )

Ginger & VERY Cancer -- There was a time when she was young that I wondered if there was a guy in the world crazy enough to pair off with her. ...

Not to have worried
She dragged home a guy who's Ginger, Cancer AND Part Irish!! ...

(I s'pose his folks had doubts 'bout ever pairing HIM off )

Anyway --
When they "take to the feud" it's Hell's-a-Roarin' lemme tell y'all!! You can imagine!
...


Li'l M&Ms scurrying about under foot ... Interesting prospect
Again, Careful what ya ask for, Merc -- they could be Li'l GINGER M&Ms.
It happened to Italian Wife ... the poor dear

You're asking at the right time -- Leap Year!


There are preferred techniques for doing this ...


Is it me -- or does that gal sound Aussie??

Be careful what you ask, Merc.
The last woman who made me that offer -- I Married Her


Yes. REALLY!
I've been married once -- and that's once MORE than I've proposed marriage.

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

The ONLY way what 'Crats are doing makes sense, is if their internal polling tells 'em The Don's unbeatable in '20.
In which case -- send in an over the hill codger/crone (Sleepy, Comrade Bernard, Hildebeest) to take one for the team (like 'Publicans did with Romney '12) .
Avoid hanging a loss/albatross 'round the neck of Tulsi or ANY young up & comers.

Fact is --
That scenario is the ONLY one in which what 'Crats are doing makes even the slightest bit of sense.
And keeping Comrade Bernard off the National Ticket at all costs keeps corporate donations flowing in to fund more competitive races down the ballot.
Corporate Donors being wary of Marxists, y'all understand.

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

Catchy campaign slogan if Gabbard runs against The Don ...

It's better to be Gabbard by the Tulsi than grabbed by the pússy.

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

Also --
If one mentions Tulsi Gabbard, mention she's from Hawaii & Tulsi's really her name.
Otherwise folks assume it's a nickname & she's from Oklahoma (Tulsa).

Again -- NOT makin' it up

BTW --
"Tulsi" is a plant name ... Hindu Holy Basil

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

Sound advice & not exclusively for non-Murkuns, lynx

I've made reference to, fr'instance, Kamel Harris & Beto (which IS his real name ... kinda) IRL and folks don't know who I'm talkin' 'bout.

Also --
If one brings up Nikki Haley, use a feminine pronoun asap so folks won't embarrass themselves assuming she's a guy.
I am NOT making that up

RE: George Carlin - Fear of Germs

It's difficult to b'lieve he's NOT talkin' 'bout NOW! ...

Swimming in raw sewage? That's the BEST he's got? SERIOUSLY?!
I've eaten Gulf Of Mexico oysters raw on the 1/2 shell -- My immune system makes his look like a Girl Scout Troop

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

...

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

FWIW --
These folks ...

... currently give Sleepy a 92% chance of getting the 'Crat nomination.
Comrade Bernard has slipped to 3rd place behind ... HILDEBEEST?!

It could be that if Sleepy comes off demonstrably senile debating The Bern, Hildy will be brought in as the DNC's Corporate 'Crat nominee.
The DNC will do ANYTHING to run ANYONE other than Comrade Bernard.

It's increasingly suspected that Pocahontas was a DNC apparatchik in the race -- and kept there through Super Tuesday -- tasked with splitting the Progressive/Leftist/Women's vote with The Comrade in order to provide Corporate 'Crat Sleepy the Joe-mentum going into the Primary Race Home Stretch.

Makes sense, if one thinks' bout it

RE: Eta Pravda, Tovarish Bernardovich.....

Sleepy Joe appears to have cognitive issues ...


@ 4:10 -- "Can you imagine that man in a Presidential Debate with Donald Trump? There's not enough popcorn in the WORLD!"

We'll get a look at Sleepy's debate performance this Saturday when he goes Mano e Mano with Comrade Bernard ...
Will Ms. Panahi be proven correct?
Popcorn, anyone? ...

The Red River Valley ...

... is WIDELY believed to refer to the river that forms the border 'tween Texas & Oklahoma.

But That AIN'T So
It's about the Valley of Red River Of The NORTH -- which separates Minnesota from North Dakota & flows by Fargo, ND.

SOOO ...
When y'all here the part 'bout "... the cowboy who loved you so true" ... Think Of ME

The News From Lake Wobegon ...

I SOOO Know the folks in his Weekly News Reports ... having grown up among 'em, y'all understand.

Nov. 3, '19 -- ELECTION DAY -366...BETTING ODDS UPDATE 03/10/20 -- D -238

Also --
The chances of 'Crats holding the House & taking the Senate improve with Sleepy --

NOW (03/12/20)
Chances of holding the Senate -- 'Publicans 56%
Chances of holding the House -- 'Crats 70%


Odds Givers indicate the entire 'Crat ballot benefits by having Sleepy at the top!!

Nov. 3, '19 -- ELECTION DAY -366...BETTING ODDS UPDATE 03/10/20 -- D -238

A surprising takeaway from Sleepy's primary wins yesterday: Odds Givers ...

appear to favor Sleepy against The Don more than other 'Crat contenders.

When Comrade Bernard was leading, The Don's chances of re-election --
Nearly 60%
With Biden firmly in the lead @ 92% chance of getting the 'Crat nomination --
The Don's chances have slipped to 'bout 50%.

Go figure

Translation --
“'Have a nice arvo'
It is a shortened way of saying afternoon. So when Australians say this to you they mean 'Have a nice afternoon'."

G'evening, Merc!
