The latest Dairy Queen advertising blitz sells us on the “mini-Blizzard,” a newer, smaller version of the thick shake for $1.99.
Great. That’s just great. DQ spins up a smaller product for more money and makes us like it with flaming rainbows and shaving bunnies.
RiDQulous.
Religion! religion!
Oh, there’s a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Here we go now.
Alright, altar boys.
Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa
Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa
Where’s the church, who took the steeple
Religion is in the hands of some crazy-ass people …

“Once you go Mac, you’ll never go back,” my friend Nola ‘Fanny’ Guay told me.
Microsoft is for Repuglicans because they like the illusion that they can change their desktops.
Apple is for Demorats because they are used to having the government do everything for them.
“We’re gonna just love this campus!”
Work on Key West’s new Horace O’Bryant Middle School began in October; the magnificent first building quickly rose to 56 feet at the peak.
Too bad the Key West City Commission has a teeny little zoning problem. The as-yet-unfinished school project violates the city’s building height restriction. Land development regulations limit building height in that zoning district to 25 feet. Errors in oversight may be involved.
Errors in oversight?
“How do you put up a building that is twice as tall as allowed without somebody noticing?” Rufus asked.
We-ll, several officials have pointed out that the relatively new Key West High School, Marathon High School, Coral Shores High School and Sugarloaf School all violate height regulations in Key West, Marathon and the unincorporated areas.
Heh.
“Ah hah! The old Little-Jimmy-did-it-too defense,” Rufus said. Except the Board used the old “it’s-OK-because-we-did-it-all-these-other-places-too” defense.
Nearby residents think the solution is to tear it down.
Key West finally issued the Monroe County School District a “notice of non-compliance” for the ongoing construction at HOB as the locals call it.
Good plan.
The district doesn’t have to respond to it or even explain why it’s not compliant with city rules. See, the district is its own permitting agency.
The KW mayor also opposes any solution that includes tearing down the building. “We’re trying to work it out with officials from the School District,” he said.
Construction on the five additional buildings — each of which exceeds the height cap — continues. The city’s acting planning director will meet with the school board’s architect in Tampa to go over the plans.
“They’re going to try to come into compliance,” the mayor said.
Uh huh. I’m not sure even Mr. Obama could spin this one.
“Let’s see, now. Let’s see,” the president said when questioned by Faux News’ Sergeant Watchtower. “We have five buildings that stand just two and a half stories taller than anything else in the neighborhood but it’s alright because we created six new jobs with this construction and we painted the roofs green!”
Sex gets better with age. Sox don’t.
I found a hole in another sock after walkies this morning. Sox don’t last as long as they used to. For as long as most folks can remember, I’ve worn white crew sox with work shoes or sneaks. I wear any kind of sox less now than when I was a kid or when I worked in someone else’s office. Even so, they wear faster. We just don’t make sox like we used to.
And who ever thought putting an “X” on the end of a word should make it a plural? There is no singular seck, after all.
