I think you should add making coreck spelling and gooder grammar part of yur platform.
That is an excellent suggestion. You will be named Secretary of the Language Arts.
I will eliminate “ya know?” from the language even if we have to put something in the water. Sometimes the government has to protect people from themselves(within the framework of the Constitution and the intent of the Founding Fathers of course) ya know ?
Actually, I know. Know what I’m sayin?
I approve! This is decisive leadership in action. When I was a child I had a plan to become the first Protestant Pope, if only to alter the holy garb to include a fedora. However, upon consideration that the Vatican might frown on my planned “Raquel Welch Weekends”, lately I have been more absorbed in plans to become a tropical island despot (subterranean volcano lair a must, giant ape optional) as I believe it is entirely possible to play dictator with benevolence, as long as everyone does what I say. My only disagreement with your manifesto is that the preferred candy of choice on my island would be Skittles. I hope this won’t mean war (though my minions would be instantly disposable so what the hell).
Raquel Welch Weekends may be the greatest idea of all time. For that reason, there will be no War of the Colorful Candies. Remember, if you have an underwater lair, then you need a giant fish tank behind your desk.
Sophia Loren over Raquel and Marilyn hands down. Or is that hands up ?
I’ll watch whichever one you guys don’t want to watch.
I like your thinking!!
Thanks. I’m looking for donations to my campaign.
I could live, for the most part, in the Kingdom of Rick.
I like the sound of that.
Which AC/DC song? For Those About to Rock would be the obvious choice, but I’d be tempted to go with Big Balls.
Great choice. I like them all but am going to go with Let There Be Rock.
Brilliant! This reminds me of something a friend said. If he was king the first thing he said he’d do is make public toilets nicer. Okay, then.
Thank you. The Public Toilet Declaration is a great idea. It should also declare that all stalls have doors.
If the area 51 and the John Wayne things is gonna happen, I am all for you as King, His Highness Rick 🙂
It will happen. No empty campaign promises.
Absolutely. GREAT idea. Except more books, please.
I wanted to start out easy on the non-readers. Let them ease into it before I add more.
I posted a comment here … but it vanished into the great cyber void … ethers …
I wore suspenders when I wuz a kid. We called ’em ‘braces’. If i needed a belt too, I always made sure Fonda wasn’t around.
I also threw all my harmonicas away.
I wonder where all the lost words go. I like suspenders, but that scene with the pants guy always makes me laugh. Here’s a question: which of Corleone’s movie ending shoot outs is the best?
OH .. i just posted on the WRONG POST!! … that’s all (cough) (sliding under my desk) But Hey, I got the right Blog anyway..
No reason to slide under the desk.
