Was trying to think of something clever but got stuck on conditioning on a bad hair day

Doug The Una said...

Karma, you're over my head on the hair conditioning. "Echo watching Narcissus" is really clever.

Pia, I get stuck on bad hair days, too. Don't think I'll be having them much longer, though.

Doug The Una said...

Karma, now I get it. I'm having a bad brain day.

Icy, I thought that was editorial.

Weirsdo, she's making a pun on Bierce's definition. Took me a minute, too.

Gabriel, Tourette's or good information.

a4g. You're probably right. If you didn't see it, look at Bierce's definition of Patriotism. He did to Samuel Johnson what you just did to me.

...And seeing people claw and reach for those fifteen minutes is really, really, really something to see.
Tossed out American Idols in tears.
Bachelors and Bachelorettes dumped and in tears.
Get a life, people! I don't watch these shows, but I have on occasion tuned in.
Give me a reputable show like Seinfeld!

Doug The Una said...

Uh, that was Patriotism. March 5, anyhow.

Jamie Dawn, I think we'll be left with reruns soon.

Doug The Una said...

Karma Clever Kewl? Uh-oh.

Sar said...

Doug - good definition (as are the above). Sorry I couldn't come up with anything this time, my brain's not cooperating. It keeps insisting I let it rest.

Doug The Una said...

a4g, beautiful.

Sar, not to fear. I don't expect much while you're in New Jersey.

Doug The Una said...

a4g, regarding your comment on Patriotism, I was young then and filled with hope. Thank you.

A reproof applied to those who don't conform with popular prejudices and don't offer the money men the prospect of reasonable return.

Disrepute:

Two young girls after their catechism classes.
1st girl - "In my class I'm studying salvation."
2nd girl - "Well, I'm beyond redemption!"

Prying, That sure brought a chuckle. I love it.
