Word drivel is a terrible thing to waste.<br /><br />"I'll take "Knuckleheads" for a thousand, Alex... Who is Mooner Johnson?""<br /><br />For the millennials, millennia maybe, that we humans have survived this planet, or, and again rather, the millennials the planet has survived us, the hallmark of our continued march to civilized behaviors has been the striving to accept the differences among us. As Beej said herein above, genocide is in our DNA, numerous Gods' population control system implanted in the spawn of Adam and Eve. Or Nassar and Hermadan for you Muslims. Amit and Pramod for the Hindis out there.<br /><br />For us to be accepting is contrary to those God's will. To be Donald Trump is to be God's chosen. To wish peaceful assimilation of the unwashed masses is but one of the many faults in the teachings of Jesus, that Jewish bastard.<br /><br />Didn't the Old Testament God tell everybody to stone an adulterous woman and her bastard child to death? Shouldn't God have had Mary and Jesus stoned prepartum? Save us from all our sins be-fucking-for Jesus made all those statements and edicts which so terribly conflict with God's earlier edicts? Save His only begotten Son from all that pain and suffering?<br /><br />My God thinks their God is, as my God likes to say when I ask, He'll say, "Well Mooner my man, some Gods seem to be mean for sport."<br /><br />What was your question? "Jeopardy answer is 'Giant flaming corporate assholes.'"<br /><br />That answer is simple. "Who is Walmart?"

They pulled me out of school, had the family doc come by every few days to draw blood, and the lack of activity made atrophy my new word. A homebound teacher would show up every so often to give me some official "schoolin' ", and to make sure I was keeping up with the other ten year-old kids I'd left behind at the school.<br /><br />A couple of things made that four month ordeal bearable, and both of them involved Jeopardy. My mom got someone to loan us a portable TV which was put on a table at the foot of my bed, and I was allowed to watch one program during the day, and it was the game show of which you spoke. She'd go into the kitchen and make a milkshake for me (and I suspect massive quantities of foul tasting antibiotics were shoveled into the blender along with the ice cream), and we'd watch Jeopardy, with Art Fleming as the host.<br /><br />To this day I'm a huge fan of the show, and we record them and watch them here when nothing's on worth watching.<br /><br />I'll take classical music for a thousand, Alex.<br /><br />Loved this post!squatlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041016017342355678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-40309737572483870072015-09-13T15:34:02.920-05:002015-09-13T15:34:02.920-05:00I don't get it.

Walks to mass every morning at 5, often walks to McDonald's to grab a cheeseburger for lunch. And yet still when you visit her she's either watching awful cable news or Jeopardy.
