Noting all the "electorns", are they something like hanging chads?

I'll just perch on the sidelines and wait for Serge to trout another pun.

Is their motto "We can make you look like a movie star"?

It's a song from the 1890s called The Sidewalks of New York.

And thanks loads Bill Higgins--Beam Jockey, now I have the earworm too.

From the author intro link...
my favorite line was:
it is not my fault if it upsets you when you knew from the gecko what it contained

If she's a small lizard that would explain why her writing is so bad

Would I be a heel (or maybe a crumb) to say these puns make me yearn for something butter?

Thanks Marilee, it sounds excellent. In my family we have giblet gravy...make a broth by simmering the neck and innards, strain, put the shredded neck meat back in, add corn starch and Kitchen Bouquet. Tradition is a big deal and I doubt I could ever convince them to try a cream gravy.

Marilee.....I've never had cream gravy with roast turkey. How do you make it?

I used to see a doctor who came from a small town in Alberta. The calendar from the restaurant there advertised "Mexican, Mennonite, and Canadian Food".

I saw something tonight that completely boggled my mind. In an empty lot, someone was selling various banners and flags - U.S., state, local universities. One was a confederate flag, but to the side of it (part of the same fabric) was the Obama "hope" campaign picture. It was a very strange juxtaposition. I can't imagine what the message is supposed to be.

"The whole-wheat flour that I prefer to buy, which has the brain finely ground..."

Someone always finds a way to bring zombies into the thread.

Serge
The quickness of your wit does not pedaunt me in the slightest.

I thought your pedant was married to your peduncle.

Whoa, Serge! I say neigh to that. Don't take the bit in your mouth and lead us on a wild (steeple)chase.

Re #50 & 65
Shouldn't that be "free rein"?

The scents of woodsmoke, bacon, and coffee on a cold morning -reminders of so many family camping trips over the years. I've never found anything that tastes as wonderful as coffee and bacon smell outdoors.
When I was growing up, we had a wood-burning sheepherder's stove that we called "Dutch Love" because my dad said that's how hot it burned. Has anyone else come across the term "hot as Dutch love"?
