Public servants....dont ya just love 'em??

[Mortimer]

Now,now..they have every right to take away all of yours.

They're in training for Democratic seats in Congress......

[Danzig]

every time i hear a story like that, it reminds me of Voltaire's 'Zadig'.

[Mortimer]

Oh gosh who could forget that one.

[Danzig]

lol
it's just that in one of those stories, zadig is accused and convicted of kidnapping the queens dog and kings horse. he proves himself to be not guilty, but still loses his fortune anyway-'honoraria' to the public officials is one reason. so, whenever i hear of govt gone bad, i remember that story.

[Mortimer]

Good analogy.

Very good.


I often harken back,when reading things like this,to HumptyDumpty by ...oh it's not important who wrote it.

I look forward to your next post.

Morton is trying to remain pristine.
Keep away from all things cultural, no outside
infections on the brain.

He is remaining above the human fray so that
the only influence on his person is sex.
He occasionally strays into the Iraq war soldier's
story and basketball, but he lashes himself after
these immoral forays into the world.

Just what the hell am I writing here...

Don't sweat it....I'm getting nowhere fast with this collection of frumpy ice cubes here.

I was thinking just clipping a toe off or some other appendage would suffice in these cases involving suicidal parking rampage.
