Stuff that makes me laugh so I hope you at least chuckle.
It’s Election Day…. a.k.a Doomsday…
Do we really need another commentary on what the heck is going on in our country this election? I think not. But I felt compelled to share from my soul and convictions my thoughts on the mood of our nation this day. It is with heartfelt passion that I give you….
my TOP MEMES OF ELECTION 2016…. (refill your coffee…this is a TOP THIRTY!)
First, a bonus. Not a meme but a hilarious follow on Twitter and Instagram, Bart Millard of Mercy Me found these lovely photos of our candidates…
30. Not gonna lie…well, not all of us can get away with it… but this one sums up a lot in a tidy nutshell…
29. History in the making….and repeating itself from centuries of failed governments….proof that, no, we will never learn…
28. Newsflash, y’all…
27. Here’s hoping that there will be another election in four years that will allow us, the people, to, ahem, readjust this two-party system…
26. I’ve been saying all along that I’m voting for Pedro…
25. Yes, I have posted the occasional political status but, dang, some of you are hateful….do you know what’s more important than the election? Relationships. And if you “friended” someone on Facebook, it’s because you felt some “friendly” association at the time. Treat people with respect, kindness and charity…people are more likely to listen to your political opinions….just sayin’…
24. Come on…it’s funny…
23. My opinions are not based on anyone else’s. Listening to the man, himself, talk..watching him talk….he’s hard to take seriously as a person much less a Presidential candidate… He would be a great voice for a Disney animated classic, though! There’s always a goofy sidekick to the villian of the story that would fit his style nicely…
22. ‘Nuff said
21. Preach…
20. Truth…. Question: At what point did it change from being a government of the people and for the people to a people of and for the government? Inquiring minds want to know….
19. Anyone else have indigestion today?
18. Sick, sad but it’s public knowledge, folks. And that Hillary covered for him is appalling. 
17. Right?
16. Can’t breathe… bahahaha!
15. I still don’t understand how someone who would not have been permitted to even apply for a job at Pizza Hut has been permitted to run for President. 
14. I don’t look forward to the results later today and I don’t anticipate the political posts will stop anytime soon but this will be nice…
13. Yep…
12. Me….
11. One of my favorites….
10. I just can’t….
9. What if I take both pills? What will happen?
8. I’m with you, kid…
7. I wish I could credit the creative mind behind this…brilliant!
6. Sigh…
5. No words…
4. IKR????!!!!!
3. I love you, my friends. Play nice…
2. This would have been my number one pick but found the next one. I want this sign for my yard…
- I’ve decided to write in the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man..
There you have it folks. The paranoid patriot in me prays that we will still be able to access the internet freely for continued enjoyment of memes…
Knock yourselves out at the polls….literally, if preferred…
P.S. I’m running for President next time…if there is a next time….
July 4th Conversation
As I was posting the above pic as my FB cover photo for July 4th, I expressed that I feel sad. Elijah, my 16, asked why to which I replied, “America is screwed.” His answer? “It’s your fault.” “Why?” I asked.
“Because you didn’t run for President.”
I volleyed with, “The scary thing is, I could run and I COULD get elected. I could run on ‘I don’t know what the heck I’m doing but it will be better than the future we’re looking at.”
Elijah’s suggested platform: “I’ve got this here Presidency for Dummies book. We’ll all be fine.”
There you have it, folks. I’m announcing my candidacy. Just write me in. I’m running not as an Independent but as an idiot because I don’t want anyone to be under the impression that I have any experience other than, if you consider having 12 kids a community, I am, in fact, a “community organizer.”
Happy 4th of July!

Moriarty is a Thermian
Yea, this is rather random and immature but I really thing I’m onto something here. We don’t have broadcast television of any kind and, until recently, did not have internet so any TV shows we get to enjoy, we have had to wait until they are on DVD. Upon the arrival of internet, we hooked up the PS3 so we could watch some Amazon Prime shows on the telly. First order of business – BBC’s Sherlock. I have been sherlocked. 😉 So addicted! Anyhoo, I couldn’t help but notice that Andrew Scott‘s voice and his character development of Moriarty smacked of the Thermian, Mathesar, in Galaxy Quest played hilariously by Enrico Colantoni. It may be a stretch but I think Moriarty is even crazier than he let on. You be the judge:
Life-changing, isn’t it? Yes, this is how my mind works (or doesn’t work, as the case may be) sometimes. It made me chuckle so I thought I’d share because, as I’ve mentioned before,

The Couch Potato Brotherhood
Being in a big family has its privileges. For example, with enough people, say 3, you can start your own cult. We don’t need TV. We needs just to sit…..and wait…..
Super Bowl Ads Analysis
Tim Seidell was asked by the Washington Post to analyze some of the Super Bowl commercials. One of my favorite comments was about the Matthew Broderick commercial – “Although I really wish Charlie Sheen could have reprised his role from the movie, as well. Imagine Matthew ending up on a park bench next to Charlie, who turns to him and says: “Why are you not working? Drugs?” He cracks me up. Enjoy…

Ghost Chickens in the Sky
Ghost Chickens in the Sky
For the fun of it….
It’s a shame they took a perfectly good song like “Ghost Chickens in the Sky” to make such a ridiculous parody like “Ghost Riders in the Sky.” What’s the world coming to?
(I don’t remember where we found this song but I DO know we were searching online for goofy I mean, serious, songs to sing on our trip to Florida a few years ago. Originally, it referred to “the Colonel” but I like Chick-fil-a so you can change it back if you want but we like the change.)
A chicken farmer went out
One dark and stormy day
Against the coop he rested
As he went along his way
All at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye
It was the sight he dreaded:
Ghost chickens in the sky.
(Chorus)
Yippee ki yay
Yippee ki oh-oh-oh
Ghost chickens in the sky
The farmer raised these chickens since he was twenty-four
Working for Chick-fil-a for thirty years or more
Killing all these chickens and sending them to fry
Now they want revenge….Ghost Chickens in the sky.
(Chorus)
The farmer raised these chickens since he was twenty-four
Working for Chick-fil-a for thirty years or more
Killing all these chickens and sending them to fry
Now they want revenge….Ghost Chickens in the sky.
(Chorus)
Their beaks were black and shiny, their eyes a burnin’ red,
They had no meat or feathers, these chickens all were dead.
They picked the farmer up; he died by the claw.
They fried him extra crispy….and ate him with coleslaw.
(Chorus – repeat last line)
True story.
What’s not shared is lost,
Michelle
Enjoy!
Fird Day
My 3 y.o. looking at my desktop Third Day pic: “Oh, dat’s Fird Day. Dat’s da guitar guy (Mark Lee), dat’s the deer da deer guy (Tai Anderson) (the sound he makes for bass when Make Your Move comes on), dat’s da drumming guy (David Carr) ,dat’s da sing-song guy (Mac Powell) . You and daddy sit in the seat cuz if U stand on da stage, Third Day (fird day) will squish U.” Be afraid, be very afraid. How cool is it he knows who’s who? Not sure of the stage-violence logic, though…..
Top 10 Things You Hate to Hear on an Airplane
1.This is your captain speaking. I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but if the child out on the starboard wing belongs to anyone, would you please alert the flight attendant?
2.I’m sorry sir but you have one more child than you have tickets for.
3.Boy, Dad, you sure made a loud noise in the bathroom…and what is that smell?
4.Dad, wasn’t there an engine attached to the wing when we took off?
5.Psst, Dad, this big fat lady next to me is squishing me.
6.I know I just went, but I gotta go again.
7.How much longer?
8.How much longer?
9.How much longer?
10. Honey, you take care of the kids and wake me when the plane lands.
and a bonus:
“This is your captain speaking. I have some bad news. We have lost all navigational & communication devices and and we have no idea where we are. We are almost out of fuel and the engines are failing one by one.But I have good news…we are making excellent time.”
