Political Commentary

One of the many wonderful things about living in Panamá is that I don't have to see or hear the friggin' State of the Union Address. A few days later I gird up my loins and read the transcipt. So, I'll let these folks do the heavy lifting as far as my commentary is concerned.
I'm Padre Mickey, and I approve this message!!



YIKES! We all know what the third lie is!

Where That Face Comes From

In a discussion in the Comments of the post below this one, Tara Mobely, mother of the World's Most Beautiful Granchile™ said:
You point a camera at her and she makes that face. I don't know where she gets that from. . .

Señor David Austin Allen, Our Favorite Guy In All Of México, said: Looks to be that she is anticipating the blinding flash and seems to not like it, so she closes her eyes.

However, I believe that the ancient daguerreotype presented here shows us all "where she gets that from." As you can see, Granpa and Unca Jibby are both making That Face when the camera was pointed at them all those oh, so many years ago.

Look! She's getting that insincere smile down really well!

Congratulations!


The 30,000th visitor to Padre Mickey's Dance Party arrived at 7:22 p.m. this evening, from Union City, California, a city in the East Bay!!
Yay for the East Bay!! The Lovely Mona and our beautiful children lived in Alameda county when we last lived in the U.S.A., and our daughter Tara and her husband Chris, and the World's Most Beautiful Granchile™ live in the East Bay.

So, it is only fitting that our 30,000th visitor is from our neck of the woods.

Much Better Now, Thank You!

Well, I took EVERYONE'S advice: I had beer, rum, Jamesons, cranberry juice, and lotsa lotsa wattah, and I guess it busticated dat stone into microscopic pieces, as da pain be gone. Now the only pain I have is existential. I still have a slight pain just above my hip, but I think it's muscular.

So, thanks for your prayers and condolences and good advice on liquids.

However, I think I'll take it easy tomorrow.

Yuck! Chompy just brought me the super-slim Bunrab, still the Filthiest Toy in the House.

Sheesh!

No, it wasn't the rum or lack of same, and it wasn't the pain. Chompy went on a tear on Thursday night and I took the photos and decided to make a story around it. Didn't mean to traumatize so many people!


Stay tuned for next week's adventure: Chompy and Bunrab's Happy Rainbow and Gumdrop Time Singalong!

Red Mr. Peanut Bank Not really. Bunrab had been a bit quiet ever since Christmas, but that's normal.
Gallito Mescalito ¡Shriek!
Mighty Moose of Vermont Gallito's right, Red Mr. Peanut Bank. You should tell them about that.
Red Mr. Peanut Bank Okay. Señorita Chompita Wiggletail, the dog if the house, has shown a renewed interest in Bunrab lately. She tends to go through phases in which she plays with the Squeaky Ball all the time and then another toy and then Bunrab.


Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love We'll have our team come check things out. You will all have to stay out of the way while we're at work.
Red Mr. Peanut Bank Well, I'll have to break the news to the others. This is a shame. Bunrab was loved by all.

Mr. Chompy's Chewed-up Squeaky Kitty Toy Actually, I tinks he did.
Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love Our forensics shows that the stuffing from Bunrab's torso was removed a while ago. This stuffing from his head was removed and that's what killed him.
