Joking

I got an email from my friends in Open Europe. Part of the missive quotes these delectable democrats and their level of contempt for Irish voters!"They [the Irish] are bloody fools. They have been stuffing their faces at Europe's expense for years and now they dump us in the s***." - Nicolas Sarkozy, French President (Times, 20 June)"The Lisbon Treaty is not dead... It is imperative that they vote

Guten Morgan from the Coffeehaus! Ha, you would think I'm German or something! Ok... I am. I'm heavy German mixed with a little Luxembourg (although there has always been a family squabble between some that exclaim, "just say 'We're Dutch!' the others reply, "We're not Dutch, we're Luxembourg!" Hmm. I may have to do some history digging on that one now that that generation has

I read this article in Tehelka with some consternation. Increased consumption in India? People how much have you been eating, and at what cost? "It is not clear what got into US President George... This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more!

This post is based on actual events relayed to me, S. Mary Wills, this morning.I just started a new job and received a phone call from a Black coworker, who was very upset. She’d just been on a morning group conference call with our supervisor and 8 other team members. FYI, I participate in the nightly conference call. So, I can only tell you what has been relayed to me by 3 people on that morning conference call.The work we do is field work in support of a government contract. We are out in the community, each assigned to different areas. Near the middle of our quarterly field assignments, we will sometimes (I am told) switch assignment areas to see if someone else might have more success in that location. So, that’s the background. You should also know that I have changed the real na

Experts shed light on origins of April Fools' DayFor an average person, April Fools' Day might be a date to play pranks, but for some experts the day has more to it than just the fun element.April Fools' Day is believed to be several hundred years old. However, experts say that its origins are still shrouded in mystery.According to the most popular theory, France changed its calendar in the 1500s so that the New Year would begin in January to match the Roman calendar instead of the start of spring in late March or early April.However word of the change traveled slowly, and many people in rural areas continued to celebrate the New Year in the spring.These country dwellers became known as 'April fools'.Alex Boese, curator of the Museum of Hoaxes in San Diego, Californiaoese, who has studied

 Gold 90 FM DJs Yasmin and Tim O were recollecting some of the white lies their parents had told.  A caller into the radio station said her parents had prohibited children from eating fish roe, saying that the eggs would make them ‘bodoh’, or stupid in Malay.  In retrospect, she suspects that her parents had in [...]

Some years ago, I started to discover the teachings of Lester Levenson. He's an American spiritual master whose teachings have really helped inspire my writing. And, for a short period of time, his "releasing techniques" became my Magic Bullet. They were the Cure All. The thing which defined me. Spiritually, the techniques were at the very heart of everything I stood for. They were The

Well, the Republican party has had a few weeks to mess around, but now it's time to get down to business and elect both a conservative and someone who will hold the Republican party together.John McCain is NOT this person. He is a living, walking, talking joke (and liar) if he really thinks that he is a Republican. That is like saying that Rosie O'Donnell is lady-like ... or William Hung is a good singer... or that Roland Martin of CNN makes good points, doesn't have a weird head shape and isn't going bald ... man I hate that guy. The point is that McCain cares nothing for the Republican Party, and even less for the conservatives that make up the majority of its base. He is just using the party as a vehicle to prove to America that he isn't a failure (having lost past elections). He

I don't regularly get the opportunity to pick Demetrius up from therapy, but yesterday was the exception. Since I was last in there, Demetrius' speech therapist has gone from being a little bit pregnant to maternity leave to back to the therapy center. When she saw me she proudly talked about her baby, and how well mine is doing in his speech class. We went over a number of things, and that he has just gone through some testing, but she wants to compare it to his prior testing to gauge progress made. She did mention that he has a hard time following her when she talks about concepts and speaks in long paragraphs...and that he loses focus at that time and she has to repeat what she says. I smile. She says to me: "Oh, he does this at home also?" Jerry: Well, I was thinking of something else. Therapist: Does he do something else like that? Jerry: No, well, I was just thinking....he's just developing his 'male' skills. Do you know a male that talks with you conceptually and in lo

Ron Paul is all for troop withdrawal from Iraq along with most other people but as an ex troop who has served in Iraq I really cannot see this happening, all the troops are doing out there is peace-keeping and training the Iraqi forces to not much success. To my experiences all that was happening were inter-tribal fights and I.E.D explosions which in some cases cause fatality to a battle group, all our troops in Iraq are a target to violence. Although most Iraqi personnel are all for the troops in Iraq a small minority are not, this is what you don’t see on the news. Although I was in a troubled area of Iraq I am disgusted with all the pictures you see on the news and in the papers where troops are walking the streets in a relaxed state playing with the locals! It is not like that whatsoever, we always have to be alert and in full fighting order at all times, this does indicate to me that our job out there is far from over. Although Ron Paul wants to see all troops withdrawn I real

Dear Readers, if you were here earlier and read my post, I have to take a moment and apologize to you. I found the blog that I earlier referenced to be funny because I thought it poked fun, in a nice way, at those that seem to think they can predict when Jesus will come again. However, after reading further, I have found that the entire blog has some VERY flawed ideas that just do not jive with what I believe, so I have deleted reference to it. If you read the comments, I urge you, do not click on the link to the blog that is shown within. As you know, I publish comments whether I agree with them or not, so long as they are not offensive in their language or just plain mean. If you believe the bible to be the only infallible Word of God, you will not like this blog.Having said that, I think I'll address the Rapture myself. I'll be quite honest with you though, I am still studying the subject, so this post will not be complete in knowledge, but I will take the subject up again

I guess New England is serious about this Super Bowl thing. The Patriots have been the busiest team this off-season, and by busy I mean reloading in an effort to donkey punch the rest of the AFC.Adam Schefter is reporting that the Pats have now acquired Randy Moss from Oakland, in exchange for a 4th round pick in Sunday's draft. Moss has the all-world ability to catch passes and also to destroy a franchise's chemistry, but the Pats seem to think that they can handle him. But yeah, I guess Randy will be happy considering that it's Tom Brady who now will be throwing to him, instead of Aaron Brooks. There are few things more depressing than having to catch "passes" from Aaron Brooks....If you're keeping count, the Pats have added Adalius Thomas, Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth, Sammie Morris, Tory James, Kelly Washington, Kyle Brady and now Randy Moss during the off-season. They also drafted Rodney Harrison's eventual replacement in Brandon Meriweather and they are clearly the best team

In a recent Playfuls.com article, we learn that Sheryl Crow now states that her plan to save trees (by limiting toilet paper usage to one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required) was a joke. The Toilet Paper Posse here at fracas is not so quick to believe her story. We’ve heard a rumor that just prior to revealing this information, Ms. Crow was seen eating a very large bean burrito washed down with a large soda.  TTPP suspects Ms. Crow was suffering (understandable) guilt when she made the new claim,  likely due to a post-burrito half-roll-in-one-visit TP usage a faithful Posse member has uncovered rumors of.   TTPP advised Ms. Crow to stay away from the burritos in the future and while we sympathize, we don’t plan on buying this story. The Posse will fearlessly continue our work. We will not be caught without our markers as a result of being fooled by this “joke” theory. Onward! Our newe

Keith Richards, of the Rolling Stones, has said that his comment about snorting his father’s ashes with cocaine was a joke. He said, “It was an off-the-cuff remark, a joke, and it is not true.  File under April Fool’s joke.” This controversial comment came in an interview with NME magazine, in which Richards said, “The strangest thing I’ve ever tried to snort?  My father.  I snorted my fathers.”  Richards also said in the interview that, “He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.  My dad wouldn’t have cared…It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.” However, the magazine interviewer, Mark Beaumont, said that Richards comments were “no quip, but came about after much thinking.”  Beaumont also said that Richards “didn’t offer the information, I had to ask him a couple of questions to get the information out of him,” and that &ldquo
