    What makes the ad for “The Thing” so funny is that in the movie, it was the scientists who argued against killing the alien.

    As I said elsewhere, I am really going to try that velvet cake recipe. We should have a few beets out in our garden waiting to be harvested.

    The original movie of “The Thing” was, to my way of thinking, far more terrifying than the remake. Not to diss the later version, which had some good effects, but the earlier one was much more of a psychodrama. If you haven’t read the short story it was based on (“Who Goes There”) it’s worth the read.

    We all have some of the non-conformist in us, but I’m afraid she may be confusing parquetry with coquetry.

    I don’t mind the voices in the head cheese, but when it gets its own show on Fox, that’s just too much.

    One of the worst things about headcheese is the sound it makes when it is sliced on an electric slicer. I worked in a deli department the summer of 1965, and if I close my eyes I can still hear that noise… (shiver)

    Dear Teresa

    It was so very nice of you to post the daguerreotype of Ganny Boom Boom and her cousins, Trashella Swineberg and Lucy Mae Glutz. That’s “Loose Lucy” holding the single shot 12 gauge on her fiance just before the ceremony and just as he escaped and threw himself to the alligators went for a refreshing swim in the swamp.

    I can truly say that your interest in Thalweg family history takes a back seat to no other amphibian-related bloggerian.

    Sincerely,

    /s/ Rotifer’s Mother

    P.S. Stay sweet, always strive to strictly comply with the double standards of the GoComics’ overlords, obey your husband, and … VOTE ROMNEY!

    Elephantine Colossus: The Elephant boasted 34 inexpensive rooms in its stomach, head and feet. Because of the low prices, the rooms attracted a rough crowd — and eventually the oddly shaped rooms were operated as brothels. “Seeing the elephant” became a euphemism for visiting women from the oldest profession.

    ‘Amalgamated Teresa (FA/FB/FAT, et al) is easily the most plunderbunded art venue this side of the Sydney Opera House. Just what kind of two bit, pump and dump, quasi-ithyphallic racket do you think she runs around here?’-———————————————-I had to look up ‘ityphallic’. And plunderbunded. Also pump and dump. And amalgamated. Then I got tired.Anyway, it’s raining again.

    The use of contractions and abbreviations in informal speech and writing is not generally considered improper grammar. The correct abbreviated form for “et cetera”. however, is “etc.”, not “ect.”
