Old lunchmeat sandwiches remind me of Dickens’ Stale of Two Cities: “it was the best of times, it was the wurst of times”.
I think they went bad because we left them on the kitchen tale all night.
Don’t watch those pay-per-view programs on table all night or you’ll run up a giant bill.
Well sure my kid watches a lot of TV, but it’s not like he started while he was a little baby in the cable.
My favorite scene from “Clash of the Titans” was when they released the cradle!
Oh yeah, I agree. I was so excited that I dropped my box of krakens.
Were you in Poland at the time? Cracker is that country’s second-largest city – Karol Wojtyla was archbishop there when he was elevated to the papacy and became John Paul II.
I don’t think so - Krakow is a bit further east than that, in the Ukraine; they had some big battles there in the Great Patriotic War.
Ukraine’s capital is memorialized in the name of Chicken Kiev. After you prepare the breast for that dish, you can use the Kharkov of the bird to make soup.
No, the Krewe of** Carcass** is a Mardi Gras parade featuring dogs wearing costumes.
I’ve never been to New Orleans, but I’ve seen Barkus at carnivals and fairs, telling the rubes to “Step right up and win! Prize every time! Come on Farmer Boy, win a big teddy bear for the little lady!”
Takes me back to High School English, reading David Copperfield, with David giving Clara the message: “Barkers is willing.”
I remember reading a potted version of the Meditations of Barkis Aurelius. “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” It’s enough to convert a man to Stoicism.
The application of a Marcus Chain mentality can often put an end to the dysfunction of such repetitive arguments. If one accepts the future state as being dependent upon only the current, or perhaps the latest status quo, then the “you always” and “we never” conversational traps are nullified.
I suspect you’re yanking my chain – Merrill Markov was a long-time writer for David Letterman, as well as the comedian’s romantic partner for about a decade.
I heard that when Letterman goes swimming, he likes nothing better than a vigorous game of Markoe Polo.
You mean Donnie** Marko**, a troubled teenager plagued by visions of a large bunny rabbit that manipulates him to commit a series of crimes, also wrote for Letterman?
n/m–ninja’ed. Twice.
No, no - Marco Leadbetter was the snooty but, at bottom, good-hearted neighbour of Tom and Barbara in The Good Life (or Good Neighbors as it was titled Stateside).
Director Ben Affleck’s Margo won an Oscar, an AFI Award and an Eddie.
