Ah, it is 28 degrees here in Banjoville, and it feels wonderful. I’ve only one link to share with you tonight. It goes to a cartoonist website that I think you will all enjoy.
7000+ off the mark Cartoons by Mark Parisi
My mom found this site today, and she spent an hour or so laughing her ass off as she browsed through Parisi’s cartoons.
This image up top is especially funny to us, because something similar happened to my grandfather “Nano” years and years ago. I know I have mentioned the story here on the blog.
My Nana and Nano were still living in their house in West Tampa, my parents had moved up to Banjoville and my mom would have to drive back and forth from North Georgia to Florida constantly. Back then my Nano lost his upper dentures, and around the same time, he began to have a horrible pain in his foot. It took six months for an appointment at a foot specialist, and when the time came to take Nano to the doctor, my mom made the trip down to Tampa. She planned on taking Nano to the dentist as well, since his false teeth were still missing.
You can guess what happened…she got there and found Nano’s teeth inside his slipper. The man had walked six plus months with his big old-fashioned upper dentures stuck inside his shoe. His teeth had fallen in the slipper as he took a nap on the couch…see, he would sleep with his mouth open and…well you can figure it out yourself.
It was at this time my mom decided it was time for her parents to come up and live with her in Banjoland.
That is way the cartoon above made us laugh and laugh.
So, go and check those cartoons out, funny stuff!

It wouldn’t be a big surprise if Bibi got challenged for leadership of Likud. Lots of dealmaking ahead forming a government.
That’s a great story about your nano. Reminds me of the time I wore two similar but different black shoes to work. One shoe had about a1 inch heel, the other about 1.5 inches, I spent the entire day feeling as if my bra straps were not adjusted properly. 🙂
Ha! I wore one black pump and one navy pump to work one dark winter morning. No one noticed that my shoes didn’t match, but I felt uncomfortable all day.
Ha, that made me laugh Mouse…you too Riverbird.
Crazy Wayne LaPierre speaking live right now in response to Obama’s Inaugural Address.
Absolutism isn’t extreme? Who’da thunk it. That weasel!!
I wasn’t listening to that. Did he say we need more armed guards at the inauguration?
He seemed to be suggesting the need to overthrow the U.S. government. He explicitly said that private citizens should have access to the same weapons as police and military. He sounded seriously nuts.
I think that’s because he is seriously nuts!
VA AG and Gov candidate Ken Cuccinelli compares his fight against contraception to Martin Luther King’s nonviolent struggle against segregation.
We all have dreams, just some weirder than others, I guess.
That was truly bizarre. I’m getting sick and tired of these wingnuts claiming connections to Martin Luther King. When he died, he was organizing a poor people’s movement. He opposed the Vietnam War, for pete’s sake!
I love the commenters’ suggestions that we have some sort of Godwin’s law for when people inappropriately compare themselves to MLK.
*Here in Virginia, our struggle to keep Cuccinelli out of the Governor’s mansion is similar to Dr. Martin Luther King’s struggle for civil rights.*
