#15  What I'm a DEMOCRAT, sorry but the Church has been taking money, property and riches millenia before those upstart democrats were invented.

To Hades with you Procopius. :-)

(Ps. whenever someone introduces himself as being Revered this, or Holy that, hang on to your property, biggest thieves I ever knew were "Holy Men" Of some stripe)

#14  Meade will do. I was just wondering if St. David's day is gonna have celebrations like the Irish do. That and I was a little curious, being a whiskey afficianado, if there's something out there I need to know about.

#11  All this talk about the Welsh made me want to find out the definition of the name of the township I grew up in because I had never been able to find Tredyffrin in any gazeteers of Wales. So when I googled it I found this in the townships history:

The Old Eagle School was built in 1776 by German Lutherans who did not find it easy to live with the Welsh Quakers. They moved on, and the next Lutheran church in the Township was established in 1960 when the Township had undergone considerable change.

(In other words just how guilty do you feel)


We've lost another one to the Donks. Well, isn't that their racket? Along with original sin, ie being white or successful but conservative. Just saying. :)

#3  P.S. Hellen Strauss.

The morning edition of the RS & TP did not hit the streets until after I left for my Sunday morning golf game. When I returned KiloBravo had scheduled us to attend a "Y Gymanfa Ganu" in celebration of Dydd Dewi Sant.

#2  This is no "Mack the Knife".



Hellen with Mom, (Helen takes after Dad)

The studio couch at Fox was kind of chincy

If that big monkey keeps giving me the bird, shoot him.

I'd walk a mile for a Camel

Prepare to come, about

I have no idea what happened to the living room drapes.

Some day people will wear hats like this backwards.

Bedtime
