That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 16, 2020

Oh, god, I’m so hung over. It this horse doesn’t stop swaying, I’m going to hurl into my hat.

“Boy, do I need a haircut?”

“Hurry, there’s a Starbucks ahead and I really need to use the washroom!”

Yes, I am holding my rod. Are you some sort of perv making a sexual innuendo?

Johan thought that he could get a student deferment from the draft. But instead his three years at Juilliard landed him in the front row, with a huge target on his head.

♪♫ "Ol’ Sam put on a three cornered hat

And in a Richmond church he sat

And Patrick Henry told him that while America

drew breath

It was “Liberty or death….” ♪♫

-“Ballad For Americans”-LaTouche/Robinson

(as sung by Paul Robeson)

Don’t go to war without it.

No amount of military razzmatazz could make jai alai polo popular.

“Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.” The pirate/infantry exchange program wasn’t nearly as fun as Jean Lafitte thought it would be. The men were good at marching, but their swashbuckling skills were atrocious, and they couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

it’s always good to bring your personal drummer along just in case you need a drum roll…

It’s sad, but it needs to be said/ that some people are easily led/ to the jaws of defeat/ by some twit whose conceit/ is the glorious “growth” on his head.

In the movie the patriot,Heath Ledger started out playing the drum. ;)

Marc Bolan on a horse?

“Hey! Over here! I ordered that pizza!”

“VO-LAR-E!”

We all see it. WE ALL SEE IT!

“Vive le chapeau!”

Matt Dillon’s latest movie? seeing a huge resemblance here!

Onward Christian soldiers….!

i do not stink of elderberries…

Weird Al leads the 4th of July parade

Drummer hired to do rim shots for lame jokes.

Before being disbanded, the Swedish Marines specialized in storming the ocean from the beach. Their motto was “First To Drown!”

Pierre was given the task of organizing the triumphant parade in Paris for his emperor’s glorious victory at Waterloo. The emperor himself was taking a few days of well deserved rest at his private island retreat. /s

Shortly before being shot in the back, the captain thought it was good time to lead the men in the singing of some show tunes.

“Hats off to Larry.” (Del Shannon)

Thurston Thorsday Leading the Black Friday Charge to WalMart

The Who’s first American tour.

No no no, you guys are supposed to go ahead of me.

New battle cry: “Follow the Roomba”

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya…”

Remember, loot before burning.

“Hey, drummer – who does YOUR hair ?”

“Please, I beg you: not a bass solo.”

Battle of Helsingborg?

“My name is Inigo Montoya. I killed the man that killed my father.”

The horse had clearly had enough of both the drum and the hat waving. One swift kick solved both problems.

After outfitting all 499 of his men, Bartholomew the Haberdasher made a grand presentation of hat number 500 to his drummer boy.

“Those Danes didn’t steal it after all! Call off the charge!”
