Do you remember this photo from a couple of years ago when we hiked up to an old suspension bridge just east of Ironton?
From up on the hill by the bridge, you could look down and see some of the old township buildings, like this one.
Up close, the house looks like this.
And from down here, the bridge looks like this.
Let me share another of the funny sayings from the Stupidest Things calendar.
11/13/14 - The Young America Library has scheduled Michael Hennessy, a mime who studied with Marcel Marceau, to perform Friday at 3pm at the Young America City Hall. There will be an interpreter for the hearing impaired.
Speaking of funny savings, our Chorale director always has stories or jokes that he shares between songs in concerts. This is one he often shares that gets a good laugh from the audience.
I was shocked, confused, bewildered As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners, The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money! Twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor Who never said anything nice.
Jerry, who I always thought Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal? I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake!
'And why's everyone so quiet, So somber? - Please give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'it's because they're all in shock. No one thought they'd be seeing you.'
Something got me thinking about Jerry Colonna yesterday. While I will admit that I am no spring chicken anymore, neither am I quite old enough to remember this actor in his heyday. He was apparently most active in the 40s and 50s with Bob Hope. As for me, I remember him from the Road to .... movies with Bob Hope, as the voice of the March Hare in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, and, primarily, from some of the Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons. In one of the cartoons, I remember his caricature saying "Greetings, gate. Let's osculate." No, I do not remember what made me think of him.
How would you read this next headline?
Does it say a restaurant server meat FROM an endangered whale, or served meat TO an endangered whale? Either way, it is not your common day at work, right?
Interested in a new Peanuts story? It seems there is a new computer-animated, 3D movie coming out next year. There is a trailer here, and it is OK, but I am hesitant. In fact, the final line of the article says that some of us may not like it as much simply due to the CGI vs old-style animation. They may be right.
Who has time to turn their child's meal into works of art? One woman does, apparently. While I would not want to spend the time, nor do I have the skills, they are truly amazing. Check out a bunch of them, including the hot dogs in a boat and Speedy Gonzalez, at this link.
Need a clever parody of "All About That Bass"? Then I will share "All About That Baste" with you, just in time for Thanksgiving. SS, maybe you should quit your job and start making family videos for a living. This Holderness dude did it, although it may be a bit premature to say they will make it. Plus, his wife works, so they still have some money flowing in.
Today is our team outing and we are going to a driving range. Luckily, I've been driving for years, so there should be no prob.... What? That's driving golf balls, not cars. OK, not my area of expertise. Well, it's better than sitting at a desk, right?
Do you like Family Feud? Listen to Steve Harvey talk to Jimmy Fallon about some of the moments edited out.
Short day. Gotta go. Thanks for reading.
