Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 13, 2010

The wine industry has been squeezing a lot of money out of you for years Bung.

When it come to Bung, it doesen’t have to squeeze very hard.

Yeah, tell your “significant” other that!

Joe-Allen : No one is REQUIRED to celebrate any holiday. We simply choose to do it. Mostly because we believe in the idea or simply enjoy doing it.

Our Valentine’s gift to one another this year was taking a sick cockatoo to the vet…we really enjoyed that…

Oh well, different strokes. A cocatoo to the vet? A gift??

I Love my main squeeze!

Don’t squeeze my charmin.

Mr. Whipple

I don’t have a girl friend either…but I have wife.

husband gives me the best presents: he washes the dishes every night. Thats a gift.

Uh-oh. I think Joe-Allen may have planted the seeds of doom. Can a federal law REQUIRING the celebration of Valentine’s Day be far away?

Of course, the Saint part will have to go to avoid offending anyone. And Valentine’s candy will have to be lo-cal for our own good. And there will be a fine for not recycling the cards. And a government agency will assign Valentine partners to those in need. You know; the usual way Congress does things.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

He sees right through you Bung!

Dogsniff, that may be true, but it’s not like you get to take all of Channukah (I have no idea how to spell it) off work! At least, the Jewish folk I know don’t.

Susan001 I agree.

PEARL I agree. Every Saturday I vacuum the house. I think that means more than the roses tomorrow. But that little box might make a hit.

My better half appreciates what I do for most of the year but on special days i still try to show her extra. Sue me. :^)

Parethed, Sulfur Crested or Umbrella? We had an Umbrella. Lovable! Have McCalls now.

When are they gonna celebrate Illegal Alien Day or mebby Welfare Day.

Actually, although Hallmark has indeed made a financial killing off it, it isn’t totally a “made up holiday.” In ancient Rome, February 14 was a day to honor the goddess Juno, followed the next day by the Feast of Lupercalia. As it did with most other existing religious holidays, the early Christian church overlaid its own veneer on the holiday and mutated it into a day to honor Saint Valentine, a martyred priest. Besides, isn’t every holiday “made up” by humans at some point?

bill works for Hall…Hey, who shot me with that arrow?

Dogsniff; about that Jewish thing, I don’t think you’d cut it. :)

haha freeholder…. You are right Bill….such distain from the ‘Puritans’ amongst us huh? Simply, if Presidents Day means something special to you, or Christmas, or Easter…..or……Halloween……well, you get the picture…..CELEBRATE IT! Otherwise leave the heathens alone.!…..~laughs~

Tsali…He’s a 40 year old Moluccan cockatoo…very sweet bird…just one of six…

i believe i believe have mercy almighty GOD Saint John F Kennedy
