FIRST to say: YAY! a new column!!!
now to go read.

Wait, Lewis & Clark had mold? Did it grow on the north side of the trees?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 03:09 PM
wondering why dave is exploring lewis and clark's mold....this calls for further reading.
Posted by: crossgirl | August 26, 2008 at 03:10 PM
Yay, Siouxie got posted! Even though I sent this in as well. It's ok - I, too, am for change.
It goes without saying that
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 03:12 PM
annie, i think the mold grew on the north side of their cattle.
Posted by: crossgirl | August 26, 2008 at 03:14 PM
Annie? They had mold and B.O.
YAY! for making the brave journey and getting back safely, Dave.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 03:15 PM
I, too, am for change. Although I actually prefer small, unmarked bills. Gold, diamonds, and negotiable securities are also well thought of.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | August 26, 2008 at 03:15 PM
Keep the change. Gimme plastic. Lots of it.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 03:17 PM
I am so happy with all the columns Dave's gifting us with! This is the best August...well, this year!

I, too, am for change...of Tancredo's diaper. I think it's Writerdude's turn to change it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 03:32 PM
So I guess the surge is working after all?
Posted by: KJP | August 26, 2008 at 03:50 PM
Hey Dave - if you'll go directly to the Twin Cities, maybe the rest of us won't have to hunker.

And what pray tell does Biden have against turkeys?
And maybe we should re-elect Grover Cleveland... alive or dead.
Posted by: clark Kent | August 26, 2008 at 03:54 PM
clark, I don't know but I'm not surprised he went for the pork ;-P
*takes Annie's coffee away*
I don't think this is decaf.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 03:59 PM
it's snot coffee either. Hic! Spike Lee gave it to me.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 04:01 PM
"Pulled pork." Hmmmm...always thought that was a Repooplican dish.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 04:03 PM
Pine Needles and Squirrel Jerky are performing at the after-party tonight, Dave, so stay awake!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 26, 2008 at 04:04 PM
Repooplican or Democrap - it's good stuff! Now I'm getting hungry, Annie.
*would love to stay here and chew the fat butt...work's done*

Dave,
I was holding my breath the entire story. Do you think the DNC convention could be the setting of your next family friendly fantasy novel?
Posted by: Erb's point | August 26, 2008 at 04:15 PM
Maybe Dave can come here to Scranton with the other half of the press world and interview the lady who now lives in the house where Biden grew up. Sheesh, they've been here all week.
And if I hear, "the scrappy guy from Scranton" one more time I'll...

I volunteered at the Richard Nixon funeral, and was assigned to restrict access to the VIP bathrooms. Wolf Blitzer showed up, all 5'7" of him, but since he didn't have a VIP badge, I pointed him to the porta-potties set up outside the secure perimeter. Sucked to be him that afternoon. And my buddy who worked with me got to take a leak with Presidential advisor David Gergen.
Posted by: BoscoH | August 26, 2008 at 04:21 PM
Whew! I just checked and Hickenlooper went to Wesleyan, not Yale...so he isn't a Whippenpoof.
NNTIAWWT
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 04:25 PM
Layzee - are you sure they're saying 'scrappy'?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 04:28 PM
Dave: I've heard that the female Democratic delegates face north. Is that true?
Posted by: Dr. Bob | August 26, 2008 at 04:30 PM
OT
Have you guys read the interview with the kitesurfer who ate the building during Fay? Idiot.
/OT
Posted by: baligurl | August 26, 2008 at 04:35 PM
CJ - however, he did participate in the poultry rodeo, in the rooster-ropin', so Hickenlooper is a chicken-looper.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 04:35 PM
bali- maybe they should spell it Fey, which means doomed or crazy.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 04:39 PM
Pooh. Those

"I didn't ecpect it", and "I'll be out there the next time." I hate when Darwin gets cheated the first time.

*tosses up "x", snatches down "c"*
Posted by: baligurl | August 26, 2008 at 04:45 PM
Layzee, Hickenlooper is from PA, so if he runs for higher office he can be the scrappy chicken-looper from Narberth.
(I think I just channeled 'rascal)
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 04:51 PM
*sends CJ some ice for his forehead*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 04:53 PM
Pity the blog.
Posted by: lil rascal | August 26, 2008 at 05:17 PM
So this explains why Dave and Chuck are going to Massachuests after the covention.

Double trouble
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | August 26, 2008 at 05:42 PM
Writerdude, for a moment I thought you were referring to lil rascal.
(private note to WD - thanks for your kind words on my blog - that particular post is being published - your check is in the mail
COD.)Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 05:44 PM

Posted by: judi | August 26, 2008 at 05:52 PM
Yes, Mot, plus they get t-shirts that say "I got screwed at the DNC" and the back has a pic of Hillary.
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 05:53 PM
judi, that's awful! I blame Tancredo.
*smacks CJ* Now be quiet or you'll wake McCain.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 05:56 PM
Gee, judi, and here I thought you didn't love me no more ... :)
Posted by: Steve Haller | August 26, 2008 at 06:00 PM
Annie, my pleasure. I'll settle for a writer's copy of the publication if paper is involved, or a link if it isn't. Unless the check has a comma on it.
Posted by: WriterDude | August 26, 2008 at 06:21 PM
judi, if you're still getting stiffed by the gateway and if it helps, I sent in this idiotic story.
Posted by: WriterDude | August 26, 2008 at 06:29 PM
HEYYYYYYYYYYY WD!! no cheating!!!
Gee, judi, and here I thought you didn't love Steve no more...;-P

heh! WD said judi's getting a stiffy.

Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 06:39 PM
That explains why judi didn't use my Chutzpah Story of the Year.
The guy should be strung up by his bentley (small 'b' because I'm sure it is).
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 26, 2008 at 06:39 PM
a twofer even.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 06:40 PM

Posted by: Steve Haller | August 26, 2008 at 06:45 PM
Yikes - chaos rules as bloggers run amok - posting stories hither and yon!

Cheating? This from the woman who stole Clair Martin's crown? ;-)
Posted by: WriterDude | August 26, 2008 at 06:51 PM
Ooops....back under the bridge with you guys. Once you're done playin' with judi, anyway.
Ooooh, cabana boy, a delectable Democratic Coors, please!

Heyyyyyyyyy Jazzzzzzie!!!!
Annie, all outta beer, want some wine??
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 07:01 PM
Lovely pic as usual, Sioux. The top isn't the only thing that needs to be twisted off.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 07:03 PM
btw, Steve? I think rascal's got a crush on you (nttawwt)
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 07:10 PM
I have plenty of beer now... life is good.
Some things should NOT change.

A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Coors, right?"
(Heeyyy, wait a minute in 3, 2, 1...)
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 07:12 PM
Siouxie, I noticed that, too. Steve has quite the following of little people. It's like Oz or something.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 07:13 PM
*sings to himself, "We're off to take a wizzer..."*
Gee, thanks, Annie.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 26, 2008 at 07:17 PM
I had to wait 20 minutes for a Coors from CJ. Durn cabana boys sure are slow around here. Guess all the good ones are at the DNC.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 07:19 PM
Or like he's Willy Wonka. I can see rascal as an oompa loompa
Posted by: Siouxie | August 26, 2008 at 07:20 PM
Judging by your pic with the towel Annie, better make that a Coors Light.
Posted by: MartiniShark | August 26, 2008 at 07:21 PM
Definitely, Siouxie.
ftr, Martinishark, it is a Coors Light. As for the rest, I think you know better than that.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 26, 2008 at 07:23 PM
No, can't say as I ever watched Oz. Now The Shield, on the other hand...
Posted by: Steve Haller | August 26, 2008 at 07:28 PM
There are oompah loompahs on the Shield? Wow, guess I missed a lot of stellar television.

Wyo walked into a bar, wearing a kilt, and the bartender said, "Scotch?"
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 07:41 PM
when I walked into a bar, I said, "ouch."
I walked in with a priest, a nun and a bear... the bartender said, "what is this, some kinda joke?"
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 26, 2008 at 07:50 PM
so we've adequately demonstrated how to kill a thread.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 26, 2008 at 08:11 PM
Whoa! I take a little time to grill some lovely steaks and asparagus, sit down to nosh, and find I've missed a 3-way! With judi, no less! I hate when that happens.
Steak's tasty, tho.
Posted by: baligurl | August 26, 2008 at 08:12 PM
Hillary's speech. Yes, she is referring to Lon Chaney
Posted by: lil rascal | August 26, 2008 at 08:15 PM
I impecunious priest wandered about then walked into a bear and said, "Only you could stop the poorest friar"!
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 08:16 PM
*sigh*
Beer, Wyo? I know I need another.
Posted by: baligurl | August 26, 2008 at 08:16 PM
Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender says, "the usual?"
"I think not." Descartes replies, and then disappears.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 26, 2008 at 08:26 PM
I walked into a bar with a sign that said, "Drinks served anytime", so I asked for a martini during prohibition.
Posted by: MartiniShark | August 26, 2008 at 08:29 PM
A Polar Bear walks into a bar and squares up to the barman. "I'll have a whisky and coke ............ and some peanuts" said the Polar Bear, in a gruff voice.
To which the bartender replied, "Why the big paws?"
Posted by: baligurl | August 26, 2008 at 08:34 PM
Hitler walked into a bar and the bartender asked, "Why the strong race"?
Posted by: CJrun | August 26, 2008 at 08:35 PM
CJ, you're pushin' it, buddy.
or is it stretchin' it? I can never remember.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 26, 2008 at 08:38 PM
Hey, folks, I forgot about a really spot on video highlighting Denver, but I just posted it on my blog.
Yes, we're all just like that.

Wounded doggie limps into a bar and says, "I'm here for the man who shot my paw."

*Flaps in for a moment*
A pony walks into a bar and orders a drink, but the bartender can't hear him. He says, "Speak up, buddy, or move along." The pony again orders a drink, and again the bartender can't hear him. Getting irritated, the bartender shouts, "Speak up or get out!" The pony says "Sorry, I'm a little horse."
Barkeep, may I have a blogarita, please?
Posted by: Just Ducky | August 26, 2008 at 08:42 PM
we're gonna need more beer.

Posted by: Steve Haller | August 26, 2008 at 08:53 PM
I walked into a bar with a cow serving drinks. He gave me one that knocked me on my ass, so I tipped him.
Posted by: MartiniShark | August 26, 2008 at 08:54 PM
Thanks, bali!
A guy carrying a box walks into a bar, and says to the bartender, "If I show you something amazing, will you give me a free beer?" The bartender says ok, so the guy opens his box, and inside there's a little man playing a piano. The bartender hands the guy a beer and says, "Wow, where did you get that?" The guy reaches into his pocket and says, "I found this lamp and rubbed it, and a genie gave it to me." The bartender says, "Dude, can I try it?" The guy says yes, and the bartender rubs the lamp. The genie pops out and grants him a wish, so the bartender says "I wish for a million bucks." Immediately, a million ducks appear in the bar, and through the ducks, the bartender says, "You didn't tell me this genie was hard of hearing!" The guy takes a sip of his beer and says, "Yeah, well, I didn't wish for a ten-inch pianist either."
