I hereby decree that chicken yodeling be the national anthem and that it be mandatory before work or school daily.  All dissenters will be spanked by the kindergarteners in the town square, and if they don't start yodeling then they shall be flogged with rainbow-colored spaghetti.

Beware dissenters! The kids are ready!
Staff note (Pearl Sutton) :

Wait! I'm the loyal opposition here!

hmm... I might like being rainbow spaghetti flogged...

Staff note (Roberto pokachinni) :

I didn't actually know that colored spaghetti existed!

And...  ...We'll keep your potential fetishes out of this!

Paul Wheaton has grandfathered in overalls!


When I first saw Paul on the internet, the fact that he always wears overalls was a major factor in knowing he was an OK guy. My grandfather was the same way. Overalls with a snot-rag in the left breast pocket, and a pocket watch in the right leg pocket, and long johns year round. One of the best friends I know right now always wears them. Maybe one day I can reach the level of proficiency of these guys and join the elite ranks of overall wearers, but I'm not there yet...

Overalls are not pants, so they're ok. I think there should even be tax breaks for people who wear them. How many hoity-toity high-fallutin' people have you ever seen wear them? Just salt of the earth type people in my experience.


Deal Alert: Grass Stained Overalls only $1,500
Well... or seriously trendy folks...
If more people wore overalls, we'd probably be able to make money by breaking them in for rich people!


I forgot about that post! I guess some will always slip through the cracks...

Can we get rid of pants in their entirety?  None of us want to be wearing pants anyway!

That would be a hard sell... I can see the dissenters revolting already. Probably lead by Pearl. I see them making their last stand by forming their own country called "Pantsylvania" πŸ˜‚

The loyal opposition is totally opposed to pants. Need signs everywhere "wearing shirt, shoes or pants, no service!"

I guess this would have to be the national anthem.

What about skorts, pantaloons, bloomers? Shall we do away with bifurcation in general?

Anyone owning a $60,000 pickup which, after subtracting space taken up by the extended cab, double wheelwells and giant toolbox, has less actual cargo room than a Pinto hatchback, has to have "Cul de Sac Cowboy" tattooed on their forehead.

Executive order #1 would be that all BBQ restaurants are required to have beef. Briskets & ribs & lots of them. Executive order #2 would ban paper tamale wrappers.

Then I would fly around in Air Force One the remainder of my term because that would be fun.

Perish the thought!
You`ll find me in the new territory of Pantsylvania indeed, along with flocks of our new national bird, trained specifically to attack anyone who tries to make me wear a skirt.
Hope y`all are wearing something under those kilts, their little beakies are sharp.

All restaurants advertising themselves as Italian restaurants would have to serve real Italian food.

I once saw a local 'Italian' restaurant billboard advertising to come in an "Eat like the Roman's did....."   ......as the ad sported a plate full of spaghetti and meatballs covered in tomato sauce.  
 
Funny how tomatoes had somehow made it to Rome before the 'discovery' of the new world and the introduction of tomatoes to Europe... :-)

This post took a left turn at the round-about and ended up in ....socks? and pants?  Oh my, people.  Bless your hearts, but you did try.  Now, I don't want to run for president.  Way too much responsibility and people always complaining.  But I'll be an advisor (I'll tell the president what to do, then leave it to him/her).  

I like the original theme - music.  I promise to deliver, to the president, now matter who is elected, an organized music plan.  So,

- Mondays will be favorite oldies.  Maybe start with some Wagner and progress (regress?) to Bach.
- Tuesdays will be classic rock - Mozart, Barber
- Wednesdays are pop - Tchaikovsky
- Thursday we'll progress to hard rock - Beethoven
- Friday we'll wind down with Vivaldi
- Saturday and Sunday will be Chopin, Pachelbel, Brahms, and Schubert

The president reserves the right to make changes on Saturday.  You may submit requests as long as you stay within the boundaries and stand on your head while making such requests.

Your advisor,
Bonnie

I've been discovering the joys of Black Soldier Fly Larvae! If I were President, every household would be required to not only have a bin of these little chompers, but would also be required to work out larvae-style 5 days per week. Hmmm...work out fly-style, if you prefer (mate & lay eggs (or egg substitute)).
 
Mo-om! You're embarassing me! Can you just read a tiny ad like a normal person?
