The best fast food place in Goodland KS is the MPP (Mag Pie Pieland), which offers fried magpie, extra crispy fried magie, magpie fries, Magpie Potpie, and of course several varieties of cookie and magpie dessert pies. Their best seller is still Oreo & magpie pies, however.
The singing group, the Magpies, outsold the Beatles… for about 15 minutes, then they slipped back into obscurity. Even the people who own their albums can’t remember them.
The beetle species managium autois has three separate sexes each of which can breed with the either of the other two to produce offspring.
The third sex was first identified outside the New York home of Frederick Christ andMary Anne MacLeod Trump in a pile of feces. The couple was at a loss to explain it, as they had no pets and the only person in the yard that day was their young son Donald.
There was a gang that used to go around leaving feces in people’s yards. Police were baffled, but the miscreants were eventually caught after law enforcement got a tip from an informant. The informant was a stool pigeon.
A competitor to Maggie’s Magpie Pies was arrested and fined after it was identified that he used stool pigeons instead of magies in his magpies. He changed the name to Pete’s Pigeon Pies and made a fortune.
Pete’s daughter , Little Debbie, was also very successful when she started her own company selling baked goods. Rumors of disharmony due to competition between the two were always denied. “Oh pigeon poop!” said Little Debbie, “Pete’s my papa. It’s perfectly preposterous to propose the possibility. Pete provides pies and I carry cakes. So cut it out. I can’t continue this conversation!”
A newspaper headline quoting Ms. Debbie’s speech called it “VERY PC.”
Pablo Casals, Perry Como and Patsy Cline were the most PC artists ever. They combined for one rare recording: Pretty Cool which bubbled under the Hot 100 in 1957.
Chelsea Clinton has written a children’s book called What does C.C. see? The gimmick is that C.C. is never seen, only the things C.C. sees are shown. These things include Gennifer’s Flowers, Monica Lew’s In-Skis, Hill Airy’s Clint Inn, Dan’s Quayle, Al’s Gore, and some other tings. One review said the book is Pretty Cool.
Dan Quayle has alleged to have made many stupid statements that were erroneously attributed to him. Of that, Quayle remarked, “I have really really never said anything.”
When Lloyd Bentsen told Dan Quayle, “Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy!” the look on Quayle’s face was because he had no clue who Bentsen was talking about.
Quayle later remarked “Well, sure I looked confused. I couldn’t figure out why Bentsen told me I’m not Jack Kennedy. I know that. I’m Dan Quayle. My name was on the bumper stickers and everything. I even wrote a letter to this Kennedy fellow telling him I don’t think I’m him, but the letter came back for some reason.”
" …What’s that? He didn’t say I’m not Jack Kennedy? He said I’m no Jack Kennedy? Well that’s different then. Never mind."
After his political career ended, Dan Quayle attempted to form a supergroup called The Avians with other well known people with bird-related names including Larry Bird, Cameron Crowe, Stephen Crane, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Ethan Hawke, and Robin Wright. Plans fell through when nobody called Dan back.
Dan Quayle had made a list of songs he intended to have his supergroup sing that included Rocking Robin, Eagle, Blackbird, Fly Like An Eagle, Kookaburro, Mockingbird, Three Little Birds, When Doves Cry, and Poe’s The Raven. Hearing the music Quayle wrote himself for the last one explains why nobody called Dan back. One of them explained “He’s no Dead Kennedy.”
Dan Quayle is perhaps the most misunderstood politician in history. When told that by Dan Rather, Quayle said: “Me so not understood me too. Potatoe is a waste of vegetable mind.”
Potatoes are not a vegetables but an alien race who cleverly gain access to the citizens if the nation thru grocery stores and gained faces via Mr. & Mrs. PotatoHead toys as thus were able to move about the country. To succeed, they had to sacrifice several.
George Lucas’s original idea for Jabba the Hut was a Mr. Potatohead. Granted, he was seven years old at the time.
Han Solo’s name comes from Lucas’s favorite TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but he is actually based on Illya Kurakin, played by David McCallum. When Lucas asked McCallum to play the character, he responded “No way. The concept is stupid and the movie is not going anywhere.”
The Man From UNCLE was originally called The Uncle From Man. Norman Felton wanted to do a show about his Uncle Godred who was from a small island in the Irish Sea. He presented the idea to Sam Rolfe, who thought the concept was stupid and was not going anywhere. Felton admitted that his uncle never did anything interesting and asked Rolfe what they should do. “Turn it around, turn it completely around,” said Rolfe. “That James Bond fellow is popular. Let’s make it about spies and call it the Man From UNCLE.”
