One can never be too careful………..

Annette | December 3, 2009

It’s not like my wonderful pal is a conspiracy theorist of any kind, but it never hurts to have a tin hat handy, just in case:

Damn!!! Damn! Damn! Damn!!!

Annette | January 4, 2009

I just found out about this treasure, and Christmas is over. I know so many people who’d have loved to get this instead of that filthy lucre, but, hey, there’s always Groundhog Day……

All of a sudden……….

Annette | December 25, 2008

I’m not hungry any more………….

I have no idea……

Annette | October 3, 2008

…… but I can’t stop laughing at this:

This is so disturbing ……..

Annette | May 1, 2008

Perfect …….

Annette | April 25, 2008

“I went to Hollywood to make money. It’s very simple. The people are friendly and the food is good, but I’ve never been happy there, perhaps because I only went there to pick up a check. I do have the deepest respect for a dozen or so directors whose affairs are centered [...]

Pencils down, eyes front, hands where I can see them…..

Annette | April 19, 2008

If you have an overwhelming desire to feel just a little bit retarded, try this.

He is risen ……

Annette | March 23, 2008

Need? Who said anything about “need”?

Annette | March 14, 2008

I saw this commercial a while back, and I fell in love with the product. Who cares if it’s a Mac, something totally alien to me? Who cares if it probably costs a bundle? Who cares if my laptop is just fine, thank you, and I have no need for another?
This ain’t [...]

Molly Ivins – gone, but still dead right on…….

Annette | March 10, 2008

This was sent to me today by my friend Larry, who knows. Molly’s passed on, but what she left behind is as timely (and gutsy and brilliant) as it was when she so presciently wrote it:
I will not support Hillary Clinton for president
January 20, 2006
AUSTIN, Texas — I’d like to make it clear to [...]

Molly Ivins – NY Times Obituary

Annette | February 1, 2007

As I’ve said before, this site does not exist for the purposes of cut-and-copy, but in the case of the obituary written for Molly in the New York Times, this is indeed a time for an exception, because anyone who reads my words should certainly know (if you don’t already) why this grand woman was [...]

Little Boy sums it up…………

Annette | November 20, 2006

We were both up early this a.m., me to enjoy the new, almost-winter weather and darkness and Little Boy to go out onto his property to murder Bambi. We were both very pleased with ourselves and our lives this morning.
I saw this, and sent it to him later, to make sure he didn’t [...]

Good thing it’s not a civil war ………

Annette | August 16, 2006

Just so long as Little Lord Pissypants keeps on blathering that Iraq is not engaged in a civil war, stuff like this:
The New York Times
August 15, 2006
Over 3,400 Iraqi Civilians Killed in July
By EDWARD WONG and DAMIEN CAVE
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Aug. 15 — More Iraqi civilians were killed in July than in apparently any other month [...]

Little Boy surfaces (again) …………

Annette | July 23, 2006

He’s in the middle of every kind of life change imaginable for an-almost-middle-aged (chortle) man, all of them good, which is a relief, so he’s not been online at all. But, he pops up every now and then, this sweet Marine Lieutenant Colonel who loves his family, loves his Corps, loves his country, and [...]

Pictures without a backstory ………

Annette | July 16, 2006

As I’m going through files on a desktop, backing them up onto the extra hard drive, I found myself looking at photographs. It’s surprising how many there are and it’s like looking through a scrapbook I forgot I had. So many people, places, events. So many stories, and so many memories.
It’s very [...]

This is NOT funny ……….

Annette | July 15, 2006

This old lady is feeling kind of lonely, so she says, “You know what? I’m gonna pick up some guys.”
She takes off all her clothes, puts on a trench coat, and walks into a bar. She sees three young guys drinking.
She walks up the first, opens her trench coat, and says, “Super [...]

Hey, 1710…..

Annette | May 15, 2006

You get all rained out these past couple of days? I thought I might have seen you floating down the river, but then I realized you’d be the one sending the river on its way, so I felt better.
Actually, it’s not funny, and I’m watching closely, concerned. But, you’re 1710, and you’ll [...]

The WINNER of the Friday Fuckface Picture Contest!

Annette | April 28, 2006

Neil Young, a Canadian, comes around,

Annette | April 20, 2006

and shows Americans what patriotism is all about.
(The interviewer is such a mindless twit. You have to admire Young’s patience and how respectfully he answers her inane questions.)

Some father ……..

Annette | April 15, 2006

Any way I look at it, the idea of some god sending his only son to be murdered in a most grisly way by humans so as to save mankind keeps coming up as three lemons in the slot machine of my mind.
That’s not a good father. That’s about the worst, suckass father anyone [...]
