Reminds me of that old doo-wop song: Duke of Oil.

My grandma from Joisey City used to say:
berl for boil
terlet for toilet
and of course goil for girl. Go figger.

SILVER SPRING, Md. — A gunman with a possible explosive device strapped to himself entered the Discovery Communications building in Silver Spring, Md., Wednesday afternoon and was holding a “small number” of hostages, police said.

Montgomery County police Chief Thomas Manger said hostage negotiators were talking with the man but said he would not reveal the nature of the negotiations. No injuries were known, he said, and he wouldn’t confirm reports that a shot or shots had been fired.

People on the eighth and ninth floors of the building in the close-in suburb of Washington were safely evacuated, as were children in the Discovery Kids Place day care center, police said, adding that nobody was known to have been injured.

Law enforcement authorities told NBC News they believed the man was James Jay Lee or James Jae Lee, 43, a longtime protester at the building who was sentenced to six months of supervised probation for disorderly conduct in March 2008.

Guess not

That was my dad..... He was born in Brooklyn and I guess that "accent" stuck with him all his life.

Didn't Archie Bunker call the toilet a terlet?

Thinking of "terlet" reminds me how Archie Bunker pronounced words. haha.

Oh go "stifle yourself Edith"!!

Archie is in a class by himself.



TIS

Am I seeing things??

Ha ha ha!! Maybe Beth & Mig are from the same neck of the woods.


TIS

I don't think they serve blue crabs in Ohio, nor squirrel and pussum in Baltimore, but, ya never know!

Yea, but I'm sure both have terlets.


TIS

I'm not so sure that's a true statement at least as far as Ohio goes...



Just kidding!!!!! Football season is about to start and I am convinced that this is the year that we either beat Ohio State or (MUCH more likely) RichRod is fired. Either outcome is good for me...

nice joking with beating ohio state...you almost got me their

It will happen...once RichRod is terminated and we get a Michigan Man who knows how to win.

Dr. Dumba$$ I presume???

Doctor thinks she's Santa Claus

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (CBS/AP/KBAK) Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, a woman who apparently tried to force her way into her "on-again, off-again" boyfriend's home by sliding down the chimney, died of mechanical asphyxia, according to autopsy results released Tuesday.

Kotarac's decomposing body was found in the chimney three days after the attempt, reportedly by someone house-sitting at the address.

According to police, the 49-year-old woman first tried to get into the house with a shovel, then climbed a ladder to the roof last Wednesday night, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue.

It is unknown if Kotarac was drunk when she apparently tried to force her way into her boyfriend's home, but Bakersfield police Sgt. Mary DeGeare said Kotarac had been drinking earlier that evening at a restaurant.

While she was trying to break in, the man she was pursuing escaped unnoticed from another exit "to avoid a confrontation," authorities said.

Ha ha!! You know I heard that story Lilo. I never really read more than the headline; "Dr. dies in chimney". Wow! One would think, she was probably drunk or crazy (or both). You never ever think of dying in that manner, that's for sure.


TIS

What a way to go! What is "mechanical asphyxiation"? Does that mean she was squeezed to death by the tight fit? Yikes!

I guess so. I imagine that she probably got to a point where she couldn't exhale, took a deep breath, pluged a few inches further and then found she couldn't inhale.
So it goes. Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid...

Check out this golf towel. My son-in-law got it custom made for the Godfather of my grandkids. And I'm Godfather to the new Godfather who is my nephew, AND his name is Michael. When he was growing up I would give me my best Vito voice; Michael I never wanted this for you,.....Governor.., Senator..

MC

What an original gift! And for "Michael" no less.


TIS

MC, LOVE it. It's like my dream gift, except that I don't play golf.

I never knew there was such a thing as a golf towel. Still, a cool gift!!


TIS

Where can we men go for justice?

NEW YORK — A federal court has ruled that “Ladies Night” is all right.

The Manhattan-based Second Court of Appeals rejected a claim by Den Hollander, a self-proclaimed "Men's Rights" lawyer, who insisted that “Ladies Night” promotions such as half-price drinks and cheaper admission were unconstitutional, a result of “40 years of lobbying and intimidation, [by] the special interest group called ‘Feminism.’ "

Hollander insisted that because nightclubs are licensed by the state, the special deals required them to adhere to the equal protection clause of the Constitution. Without court intervention, Hollander claimed “none other than what’s left of the Wall Street moguls” will be able to afford to attend nightclubs.

The court wasn’t impressed by Hollander's lawsuit against a handful of New York clubs. It said nightclubs weren’t “state actors,” and dismissed the action.

Ha ha ha!! Talking about "stretching", blaming "feminism?"

I remember in my younger days when I lived in Michigan, they'd have "Ladies Nights" at bars during hunting season (especially deer hunting I think). Knowing most of the men would be out hunting, ladies could get two for one deals or no cover charge and such.

TIS

TIS, how do you think you clean your balls! ....

Well, I was wondering. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

TIS

Doesn't the moron realize that bars need to attract scores of women in order to attract male customers? That's why they have Ladies Nights, not because we've been lobbying for them.

Exactly. You think lawyers and politicians know that?? Of course not...

There is a growing feeling in some quarters that what is good for the goose is good for the gander no matter how petty, silly or frivolous. I would expect more, not less of these sorts of suits in years to come.

The kids go back to school tomorrow. Finally

Been six long weeks
