Four Play..
'There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
The way of an eagle in the air;
the way of a serpent upon a rock;
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea;
and the way of a man with a maid'.
Proverbs 30:18-19
..But I do know this!..

i didn't see the 4 people i want to bitchslap when i did it... do i need to go back and change it! i want to bitchslap people!
i like the ladies holding the briefcases too.
monica- okay,..I added that part for my own amusement.
billy P.- Ladies holding briefcases are HOT!
You're a good sport buddy ;)
So let's here the story about Fogerty's Pub on the night of June 23rd,1989.. Why yes, I am a nosy bitch.
Have I missed or forgotten something? What happened at Fogarty's?
doralong/Jan- All things considered,I would not have bought that cute brunette at the bar,(my future ex-wife),a birthday drink.
haha...you're it!
nice job there sling with the "four people i want to bitchslap" addition.
i just marvel at your restraint at not bitchslapping dr. phil on a daily basis.
Danny- They also serve who stand,and wait.
Good job! I loved Apollo 13 and A Fish Called Wanda. & the addition of bitchslapping, wittyly sling done.
I love your take on four favorite foods.
Oh your four favorite foods are my perfect. Now I am hungry. Love it all. I forgot to put Granny as one of the people I get emails from.
lostinco- 'Wanda' is a classic!..
"Here c-c-comes k-k-ken!..C-c-coming to k-k-kill me!..AHAHAHA!
citizen- I tried to narrow it down to a single food group...You know,stuff that all goes good together.
Sage-
12) Fried egg sandwiches
13)bisquits and gravy
14) Tuna casserole...
Nice list. Becoming an official senior citizen is great. You get all these great discounts and people will help you to cross the street - whether you want to cross the street or not.
mom- I hadn't even considered the whole,'crossing the street' perk!..
I was thinkin' more about getting away with being cranky,and irrascible.
can i help you bitch slap uncle phil..can i ..huh huh?..can i ..pretty please. oh please let me help you bitch slap him into next week...
Yellerdawg- ..the line forms at the rear. ;)
So how drunk was I that night at Fogerty's - I don't remember a thing about it! Remind me!
Damn now I'M going to have to go and pick 4 out of the 100s I want to bitch slap!
willym- HA!..I thought that was you over by the jukebox.
You don't remember dancing on the bandstand to the tune of 'achey breaky heart'?..too much Ouzo perhaps.
Your math is my favorite kind. And your four favorite foods my favorite part. And Fogerty's Pub my favorite new Sling mystery. And the Dr. Phil bitch slap my favorite ticket.
YOu are selling tickets, aren't you? Oh, I see. It's just a 'want' not a scheduled event. Damn.
Guess who's bringing an applesauce cake to California this summer?
I love it when you say "dossier."
And "constabula--" er, whatever that word was.
You said 'dossier' and 'quell' in this post. In their proper usage, respectively, I might add.
Well done my bemustashed friend.
As for the jobs, which of them was the most lucrative? heh heh
Isn't it amazing how everyone hates Dr Phil and yet he still is on the air? One of life's great mysteries. Next time I make an applesauce cake, I shall fondly think of you as I devour it.
Booda Baby- Trust me,if I ever get the chance to slap Phil,you'll have front row seats waitng for you at the box office.
Rainey- Guess whose leaving California with one less applesauce cake. :)
JP- Whenever I say those words,I suddenly aquire a British accent...really.
Hat- If only I had stopped seeling dope one day earlier!..Turns out,it was the most expensive occupation.
kimberly ann- The only reason he's still on the air is because Oprah owns the airwaves.Otherwise,he'd be selling polyester suits in Bakersfield
What happened at the pub?
I met my 2nd wife,who became my 2nd ex-wife.
If I could go back,I never would have bought her that drink. :O
Oh my god was that the night I dance clothed or - hide your eyes Maude it ain't a pretty sight - naked?
I see I'm not the only one wanting the goods on June 23rd,1989.
Me too, Junction City Kansas! We rented the big farmhouse on Mr. & Mrs. Glessner's farm. I was a kid. Great experience. Then we moved to the military trailer park. Not so great.
PS: I'm behind on that meme, having been tagged by 2 people -- I am SO adding the "bitchslap" item. Hell yeah. There is a reason for everything, even procrastination!
ha ha ha ha bitch slapping...thats a new one on me...can't wait to use it... deosn't need explaining... its six am here (I am an early bird and a late bird) and because of daylight saving still being on here...its pitch dark outside...the old dog still thinks its midnight and got a fright when I burst out laughing next to him
can't wait to bitch slap someone...SOON with the prefix Dr. in front of his name.
Hysterical post Sling- sitting here grinning like your cats above-lol.
There are more than just four fav foods there- l think l'd have the same problem.lol
Great day here- sun is shining- l've had an icecream out with my wee lad and now dinners cooking- a bit of time for me - 20 mins or so.
hope you're keeping well.
bests
Oh man, I LOVE Turk 182! GREAT movie! (And I'm an American Idol fan these days, too. Go DAVID COOK!).
