Thinking of 

Dolly Parton

as an 

American Icon

could get you

arrested for

understatement

The Most Amazing Thing About Female Prayer

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

The 

most amazing thing 

about 

female prayer

is

the resemblance

of

the praying hands

to

a 

most private part

of

the female

anatomy

One + Only One Word Describes Yesterday

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

That word is 

Blah 

but 

there may be

more than one

a

in the middle

 

I 

mention this

because

I am convinced

it is not

to become  a

lifestyle

 

Yesterday 

The slightest effort

to do

ANYTHING

was a struggle

 

I walked out 

my front door

exactly once

—all day— 

as opposed to

a minimum

of 

ten times

any other day 

 

Blah

happened 

simply because

a scheduled

2-mile walk

on 

Thursday

was doubled

BUT

the last mile

was a 

city bus ride

for free

because

I had no cash

on me  

 

Today is Saturday.

My Starbucks

is inches away

(so are my cigarets)

 

I've already 

Wordled

Geniused

on Spelling Bee

I am feeling 

blog-o-licious

The Winners Of The ... SMARTEST 3-YEAR-OLDS ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

The Winners Of 

THE SMARTEST 3-YEAR-OLDS

in

Long Beach

were

the twins 

Kim + Jim 

Kowalski

 

Their mother

told 

her favorite story

about 

her new-born

babies 

being driven home

from the hospital:

 

Kim (or Jim) 

looked out the window

of the ambulance

and spoke

her/his 

first sentence:

Why do so many cars

speed up

to stop at 

a Red Light? 

 

Now,

my husband and I

ask both of them

for help

with our 

iPhones

 

We are the life 

of the party

in our neighborhood

because

we teach our friends

everything we learned

from 

Kim + Jim

Quote Du Jour ... Margaret Atwood ... #1 + #2

meticulous

Last Sunday's 60 MINUTES Segment Of Miss Piggy

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

I will guarantee 

the "Miss Piggy" pun

was created by

Margaret (Peggy) Atwood

 and 

I thank

Peter Galasso

for bringing it 

to my attention:

 

Years ago, 

Peter attended

a 

poetry reading

of hers

where the shortened form

of her first name

introduced 

the artist

 

BUT

—under no circumstances—

will he read

her recent

essay collection

which speaks unkindly

of 

President Trump

 

AND

I will proceed 

with

a series of 

pages

 entitled

"Atwood Quote Du Jour"

How The Hell Can Anyone NOT Believe ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

How the Hell 

can anyone

 not believe

that this image 

proves the 

existence of

 GOD

 

However,

the word

"God"

has more synonyms

than anyone 

can count

and 

if we can't

respect that fact

and the choreography

of each "church"

they represent

then 

we might as well

prepare to say

Goodbye

to 

Planet Earth

No Puzzle Has More Sex With ... LOGIC

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

No

puzzle

has 

a 

greater intimacy

with numbers 

1 thru 9 

___

___

  ___  

 

No

puzzle

has 

a

greater touchstone 

 with

 the concept of 

LOGIC 

than 

the puzzle 

known as 

SUDOKU

 

 

Think of it 

 as a performance

of the 

non-zero 

digits 

wherein 

The Fourth Wall

is broken through

by respecting

the spaces

where numbers

do not go  

in order to 

grasp the facts about 

 where numbers

 do go

    

____________________ 

 

But

we cannot teach 

logic 

to students

because 

it 

would

make them

smarter than 

their teachers

AND 

That would be 

suicide

for

Artificial Intelligence

which must 

never, ever

communicate

genuine

intelligence

to anyone

unassociated

with

Big Pharma

or

other 

mega-powers

in

USA

❗❗❗

 

Of course,

that includes

the 

*** Military-Industrial Complex *** 

"Sudoku"

is an Asian word

translating into

American children

sure can be stupid
