Armistice DayIn the 11th Month,On the 11th Day,At the 11th Hour,World War I ended.Armistice Day has become Veterans’ Day to honor all our Service Men and Women, past and present. We thank you for your service. ♥
There is a joke that is not originated in vaudeville nor formulated by momentum TV series writers. I know this because (pronounced cos) I was there.
My tweener niece sponsored me for membership into The Pig Club. The initiation required me to present an original pig joke on the spot. ..
Consider this a great place quit wasting your precious time with this crap! Give yourself a break, right here!
.. I asked her and her giggly pals if they knew why the pig crossed the road. Then after some Johnny Carson like timing I snort-talked: “To get to the other sty!” I was acclaimed as TBC pres’ and feted mightily.
Yes, let’s not distract Dale, or as his shirt says, “This old louse,” while he’s buying his manly hardware items….A plastic flower “twirler” stake for the garden….some air freshener (which I’m sure the Shemps need, especially when the Pennys visit…. )and some Twizzlers… the red kind, not even the more macho real licorice kind….A he-man hardware extravaganza… a veritable testosterone trifecta….
Only the current unavailability of Downy fabric softener marring his chances at achieving a legendary superfecta of masculinity…..
Tie up your horses….Lock up the children….Be still, my heart….
Not Timmy.If it were Dale’s grandson, woe betide the person who suggested that he couldn’t come to the hardware store, and watch, and learn from, Grandpa in all his glory.
MARG. I did not know that about Armistice day (The 11/11/11) I do know about getting poppies. Though I haven’t seen any around last year. Is it because it is the older vets that gave them out? I am going to town after work to see if I can find some. My dad would get us one every year. He served in the British army in the early 40’s
Thank you ALL veterans for your selfless services so we can have a free Country..
Susan you said what I was thinking…Yea they are manly men alright..
This explains the significance of the poppy:In Flanders Field
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lie,In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields. John McCrae-written by a WW1 soldierThanks to all veterans for your sacrifices.
the poppies that USED to be given out on Armistice Day symbolize the dead lost in Flander’s Field during the Great War. haven’t seen them in a long, long time. i’m sure someone was somehow offended by them…someone always seems to be offended by something these days.
almost lost my great-uncle in the war. he was left for dead on the battlefield but later discovered to be alive by those collecting the dead. he lost a lung and a kidney but went on to be a successful farmer and he lived into his 80’s. i miss you, Uncle Frank.

If it’s for MEN, then Burl, Dale and Jerry should be banned.

Dapper Dean dons a sharp bracelet and cravat duo in a vain attempt to divert eyes from his high hipped semi thong apron.

Cripes sake!! Who is that creepy looking guy lurking in the shadows of Candy Corner? He’s kinda leering at Timmy.
Shelter in place, Timmy! Shelter!

So they have air freshener, garden flower spinner and twizzlers in the cart and rain check for Downy; so Dale, where are the men?

@Susan, None of those guys have any need for licorice as I’m sure their libido is already no-existent.
