Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Gotta be on the sauce to read The Telegraph

Well, there is that.

Are people who buy pressure cookers still being put on a suspect list?

Only by the Isle of Everywhere Police. Never can tell when a tomato sauce is about to be made.

A friend who toured with Tiny Tim (it's a gig, same as any) as his bassist said Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky would order a huge salad from room service. They'd put it under the bed and eat the salad in the morning.

Touring.

Don't forget malt vinegar on them fries .

Good flavor and helps cut the grease taste.

Tiny Tim was a great comic. I’m told that he led a tormented life.

What I see among those who spent time in the service is they eat very rapidly. It's my understanding that if you're in the service and don't eat fast, you're going to miss your meal. Then it becomes something of a habit. Happy to report none has ever set a time limit on my meal time.

Not just eating, but what comes after. You don’t want to miss your chance.

Slight derail here-- when I was in Army boot camp, we had an old timey drill sergeant. We ate WWII rations in OD Green cans that were heated with kerosene heaters and water in garbage cans! Pretty scientific! LOL

He let us know that the companies that created the rations for us cooked those canned meals in huge slow cookers for up to 8 hours. It was like slow cooking, actually it was. He said the food in the cans was some of the most nutritious cooking we would ever have. The juices contained all the nutritious good stuff that were in the food and that's what made the meals so good for us...

Back to your normal programming.....

As long as you weren’t eating the army mule.

Ketchup is very good for you.

He died at 65, way too young.

From the ketchup?

From the ketchup?

Brussels sprouts.

(Some good fun with Brussels spouts in Asterix and Obelix. Even better fun with fondue. The stick! The stick!)

Sometimes life lets you down, no matter what actions you take.

Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

My iPad needs to be replaced. I found a nice one. Turns out, a tooth that needs a root canal and crown got in line first. I’d rather have the iPad.

If they had found the feet they'd have immediately known it was a parrot. Parrots are zygodactyl.

The kakapo looks menacing enough but I wouldn’t want to go up against a Kea.

Kea, a smaller parrot species native to New Zealand, learned to claw chunks of fat off the backs of sheep. They even drag seabird chicks—“little lumps of lard”—out of their burrows, Worthy says. The added nutrition gives these parrots a leg up during cold New Zealand winters.

I wouldn’t want to clean their cage.

When he talked did he sound like Trace Armstrong?

I imagine that the parrot had a deep voice that covered the bass register. My question is, how low could he go when he burped?
