My son and his toys...

Actually, not his toy, but he pretty much built it for his friend...

Separated At Birth? (newly updated)

Laura Ingraham has a whole eleven pages of "Separated at Birth" photos at her website...

Being somewhat of a "Separated at Birth" afficionado over the years, I've posted a few of my own and have compiled them into this post.

Enjoy!

A few "Separated at Births" I have noticed over the years:



Nancy Pelosi, and King Crimson:




Al Franken, and The Swamp Thing:




The Alien 'Exeter,' from the 1950s sci-fi classic,"This Island Earth," and Joe Biden. (I dare you to tell the difference--really).

Barack Obama, and the little brother from "Malcom in the Middle"




The Joker, and Algore:



Hillary Clinton, and some other man in a pantsuit.




'19th Hijacker,' Zackarias Moussoui, and "The Brain" from "Pinky & the Brain"



John Kerry, and the balloon heads running out at the opening of the Turin Olympics:




Boy George (Karma Chameleon) and Uncle Fester:




Welll... you be the judge:



With apologies to "The Little Buddy"



George Soros, and Simon Bar Sinister, from the 1960s cartoon show, "Underdog!"


And finally,

John McCain...


And his long-lost cousin...

Monty Python can teach us alot about the DADT repeal...

Brain Shavings treats this one with impeccable logic.

Sign Her Up...

Run her against Nancy Pelosi... at least she makes more sense.

Barack Obama in Hell...

From an email:

One day in the future, Barack Obama has a heart-attack and dies.
He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him.
"I don't know what to do here," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got a couple of folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

Obama thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the door to the first room.

In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. Ted kept diving in, and surfacing, empty handed. Over, and over, and over he dived in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in hell.

"No," Obama said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer, and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The devil led him to the door of the next room.

In it was Al Gore with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

"No, this is no good; I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented Obama.

The devil opened a third door. Through it, Obama saw Bill Clinton , lying on the bed, his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

Obama looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said, "Yeah man, I can handle this."

The devil smiled and said .. . . . .


(This is priceless...)



"OK, Monica, you're free to go."

So...What does a guy have to do to find a good steak around here?

Just wondering...

Caption This...

There will be a fantastic prize for the winner of this caption contest. Well, maybe not a fantastic prize. Well, maybe not a prize at all. (Just getting used to being let down by those in Washington).

You will, however, receive my undying admiration :O)

Sure Signs of Spring in St. Cloud...

The first robin...



The song of the black-capped chickadee in the morning...


The lime-green aura of trees budding, adding color to the recently bland landscapes..



The beauty and sweet fragrance of the lilacs blooming...


And...most importantly,

The St. Cloud Superman takes his perch at 25th & Division

Ahhh...spring.

Separated at Birth?

Nancy Pelosi, and King Crimson

I was wondering why some trees seem to be copping an attitude lately...

It seems that female hormones grow on trees:

QUOTE

Scientists have discovered that the female sex hormone progesterone grows in walnut trees, shaking up what's known about the different between plants and animals. Until now, scientists thought that only animals could make progesterone. A steroid hormone secreted by the ovaries, progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy and maintains pregnancy. A synthetic version, progestin, is used in birth control pills and other medications. "The significance of the unequivocal identification of progesterone cannot be overstated," write Guido F. Pauli and colleagues in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Natural Products. "While the biological role of progesterone has been extensively studied in mammals, the reason for its presence in plants is less apparent," explains the article. Pauli speculates that it may support biological activities, such as the regulation of seedling growth, or it may simply be an evolutionary artifact -- a genetic leftover that's no longer doing anything for the plant. Regardless, it's an eye-opening discovery, and may shape future studies: "When comparing plants and animals," writes Pauli, "it is more helpful to emphasize the similarities rather than the differences."

Indeed, this puts to rest the age-old question, "If a man is out in the forest, says something, and nobody is around to hear him, is he still wrong?"

Given that some trees possess female characteristics, the answer must be a resounding, "Yes!"

Sunday Funnies-Foster Brooks-"The Airline Pilot"

From the Dean Martin Show:



What happened to comedy, anyway?

At the very least, he won't poke his eye out...

Another WOW post--but for a different reason...

Sign this 7-year old up!

Where's Waldo...errr John Kerry?

And the search goes on--

Bambi & Thumper... in reality.

Once in awhile, it's good to lighten things up a bit.

Reportedly taken in a back yard in Alberta, Canada, I received these photos in an email, and thought it too neat to pass up:

Your Friday Night Yuk-Yuk-Yuks..

Friday Follies

Two Newfies walk into a pet shop in St. John's and walk over to the bird section and Gerry says to George, 'Dat's dem.'

The owner comes over and asks if he can help them.

'Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere,' says George.

The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box.

George and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of Signal Hill.

At Signal Hill Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, 'Dis looks like a grand place.'

He takes two birds out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff.

George watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, George shakes his head and says, 'Foget dat.. Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me!'

THERE'S MORE....


Moment's later; Seamus arrives.

He's been to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

'Hi, George, watch dis,' Seamus says.

He takes a parrot from the box and lets him fly free.

He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun.

George watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot..

Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.

George shakes his head and says, 'And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either!'

IT IS NOT OVER YET...


George is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Bren appears.

He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box out of which he pulls a chicken.

Bren then takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.

Once more George shakes his head.
'Foget dat, lads. First dere was Gerry with his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting... And now Bren and his hengliding!'

The Power of the Pope

The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy?
This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"

Pelosi replied, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me."

It was then that the Pope slapped her.
