"Number23, why can't you just be happy for them?"

I heard an unusual expression many years ago in the navy. It's really fitting for #23 and those of his ilk.
'He'd bitch if he was hit in the nuts with a gold hammer.'

Very little in the world is ever perfect. But to take away some simple joys that others have is truly sad.

First the birthday surprise for a bus driver and now this. You guys are killing this curmudgeon.

To paraphrase the diminutive Tim, God bless you, every one.

@Miss Cellania - Thank you so much for such a fitting
post on this solemn American holiday.

No Kilroy was here?

Ummmm, I had the Internet long before I got an avatar.

@K!P "... i think driver awareness is WAY higer here. EVRYONE has biked a lot at one point."

I spent 4 years in Bermuda which has a huge amount of tourists. They can rent 50cc mopeds which are a lot of fun. The thing is they drive on the left side of the road. Needless to say that can easily present all sorts of problems for American/Canadian tourists. The Bermudians were terrific at watching out for them and helping them out. It was great to see the car drivers taking care of the unknowing tourists. The fact that tourism accounts for almost all of the islands income may have had something to do with it. But I think it was more the friendly way of the Bermudians. As shown by the people of the Netherlands and Bermuda cars and bikes/mopeds can easily coexist.

I think we should all throw a FlashMob surprise party for Miss Cellania for posting such a wonderful item.
If only we could.

sparky that got something in his eye also)

I didn't know the world was broken.

Oh, sorry, I forgot about man made global warming.

Har har har har har har har har!

I think that poor mutt needs to drop one in each of the girls shoes when she goes to sleep.

(aren't talking farts either)

I'm afraid I had to stop when I got to "Geekspeak is an essential tool that will help you exercise your brain and solve the unsolvable,..."

How one solves the unsolvable is far beyond my
brain.

@Larfin Jackarse I was going to say the same thing but now I can't. GGG Least they could do is learn some other phrases. A lot start with Holy, Holy crap, Holy shit, Holy mackerel, Holy moly, Holy mother of God are just a few that come to mind. Oh, forgot Holy Batshit and the BIGGIE Holy F ummm you know how it goes.

(then again Phil Rizzuto did pretty well with "Holy Cow" for ages!)

@JC - You had to do it huh? First I had to go to 1:37
then I had to look up Toht AND Agent Smith. Got tired on the Toht. BUT if one were to Google "toht agent smith" guess who's post is in second place?

(looks like he might be sleeping)

Shades of M.C. Escher. Nice!

@V - If it's a grease monkey would it have a grease gun?
