Moon, June, Spoon…Spring Things and Larry King Things
Well, Pride Month goes before the Fall, so it’s here again already, although it seemed like it was every month last year. There’s no Pride Month in Korea. I’m not sure they do month-long celebrations.
Recently, I was wandering lonely as a cloud, which is my style, and remembered it had been more than a fortnight, so I decided to write some random thoughts down again, Larry King USA Today column-style. Let’s have no ado at all:
I bet Al Sharpton fishes with race bait…
It’s said that nature abhors a vacuum. I abhor mayonnaise…
One thing that DEFINITELY exists in a vacuum is dust…
Mayor Adams of New York had his charges dropped with prejudice, but that’s just because he’s black…
Why do pancakes need makeup?
You learn the most curious things reading Old West history books: the Earps were Jews and Butch Cassidy was a Mormon. I half-expected to read that Big Nose Kate was a Moonie…
I was never AT the drawing board…
Some say domestic spending is our raison debt…
You rarely see a movie about a murderer with a heart of gold…
Vegetarians are always in their salad days…
The password you entered is incorrect. The next one will be too. And yes, I know you wrote it down…
Worst case scenario: a mouth full of food and an imminent sneeze…
NASA has done NOTHING to innovate the beverage market since Tang…
Don’t thank me for unsubscribing. I didn’t subscribe to begin with…
Analyzing jokes is the next to last refuge of a scoundrel…
Wait. Everyone’s going to die on a HILL?
A pay toilet is a clean toilet…
A less insulting name for Trump supporters is Trumpeters…
How come when you spray for bugs, the next morning the bugs look like they stepped on land mines?
When I text on my phone, it looks like Esperanto…
People sometimes say, “These shoes are killing me,” but it would be more interesting if they said, “These shoes are killing YOU.”
You may not be comfortable in your own skin, but without it, you’ll get itchy…
Who are all these people with massive collections of rats’ behinds, yet are so reluctant to part with one?
Well, it’s snap presidential election week here, so I need to get out my Big Chief tablet and start writing a bit about that. I promise there are some amusing oddities. Thank you for reading.

Your schooling was deficient.
I hated it back when I was a vegetarian. Everyone would assume salads were all that I ate. “Oh, well, we have a salad . . . “
If they do say that, it might be time to run.
I love the worse case scenario–been there, done that!!
Let me respond:
1. Isn’t that evident from my writing?
2. Tell me about it.
3. It sounds like something Stephen King might not write about.
That’s when you find out what you’re REALLY made of.
Nah. Sometimes they die on a slight rise in a valley. A valley surrounded by higher hills.
The Democratic Party is busy reenacting the defense of Dien Bien Phu – as the French.
Dexter?
I sure hope this idea catches on: “A less insulting name for Trump supporters is Trumpeters…”
Just go with MAGA and be done with it. Offends no one, and it is clear who you are talking about. Trumpeters would work, but someone like me might think you are talking Maynard Ferguson , Miles Davis, or Dizzy Gillespie
Winton Marsalis and Drew Carey?!
Well, Glen Greenwald has started Pride month off with something of note. It might boost his subscribers. He is indeed brave in “going to publish” materials others won’t.
