Memes for a Monday

Okay there’s late, and then there’s LATE! And I do mean LATE!

This post is at least 168 hours overdue and to compensate for my tardiness there are a few more memes then normal.

I am assuming my faithful reader was not caught up in the rapture.

And why is there drawbridge chain let over?

The 10 ages of …

Stay tuned for more home entertaining hints.

I don’t procrastinate – I ponder.

Always look on the bright side of life.

And it’s always when you’re wrapping that last minute gift.

Apparently people who work will understand this.

And air kissing.

And a nice pâté never goes amiss.

It all depends on the inflection.

Skip the cherry.

Wish there was one some time.

At one with nature.

This sounds like someone I know.

For my darling Pat.

And I leave you with this.

Memes for a Monday

Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day! However the corn is as high as a butterfly’s eye and if we don’t get some rain the fall colours will be brown, browner, and brownest. Mom Nature is not a happy lady. Let’s cheer her up with some memes.

You know if you laugh at this you’re older than dirt!

A good citizen.

And they say cow farts are bad for the ozone layer!

Snort… snicker.

I dedicate this to so many people I know.

Ohmmm…

When the first Lotto 6/49 came out I made a list of what I would do with the money. I still have it 😦

Did you try Aisle C?

This one went straight to video.

Hell I’ve got unsaid rejoinders from High School.

Memes for a Monday

Well let the bells ring! Let the banners fly! We had nine hours of light rain overnight. The grass is still hay but the weeds look a brighter green today. You have to wonder if this isn’t another one of Ma Nature’s little jokes.

However it looks like the rain encouraged a fair number of memes to pop up this week.

What exactly “middle age” these days? The goal posts keep moving.

Community spirit is alive and well – okay maybe just alive.

I read something this morning about an award given in 1976 and thought: hell that ain’t that long ag………. oh!

Forget what I said earlier about community spirit.

Vacuuming? Vacuuming? Like in house work?

“You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din.”

I had a colleague like that – I assume he was practising for retirement.

And took a nap. Seems to be a theme around here.

One of the few advantages of old age is you can hear what you want to hear.

One way if looking at it.

And in the middle of the night too.

Intonation is everything.

Something to consider.

I’m really late getting this one out and the only excuse is that I forgot that today was Monday. I guess I’ve finally got to the point where, like the dear Dowager Duchess, I can say: What’s a weekend?

Mercoledi Musicale

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a Mercoledi Musicale but when I happened upon this little gem I thought it was worth sharing.

It is brief but lives up to its claims of profundity, very much in the style of Jacques Brel. A songwriter who, I must admit, I detest.
