Okay Blog Guy, tell us the location of the troops…
No way! You’ll NEVER make me betray my country!
Oh, so you’re a tough guy, huh? Suppose we cram brussel sprouts down your throat and make you watch “Jersey Shore?”
It won’t work. I won’t sell out my friends. There’s nothing you can do!
Is that right? Sergeant, bring out “Lonnie and his Yodeling Accordionettes.”
You unspeakabe savages! Push me to extremes, I shall not break!
Oh, and Sergeant, bring out Miss Arkansas and her dummies. Then we’ll see what Blog Guy has to say.
So, we’ve got around 6,200 troops, hiding just north of the town in the old factory. We’re almost out of ammo. There’s no guard at the rear door. You can hear our top-secret plans on this secret radio frequency… Wait, I’m not finished talking yet!

Mr. B. I am impressed how long you held out. I probably woulda been singing like a canary for a couple of sapphire blueberry doughnuts (trademark Onedoor
) with extra sprinkles.
Blog guy, couldn’t you at least show Miss Arkansas’ shoes as well – would keep the ladies happy too!
As for your male readers, I’m pretty sure Miss Arkansas’ twins (and i mean her toys), will keep us entertained long enough.
@Spin, yes there is, haven’t you seen “Miss Congeneality”? (check spelling on that)
Looks remarkably like the photo from the funeral, though Hilary’s hands were in her lap.
Two photos of interest.
The first one is the second annual Goofy Face Museum and Doughnut Shoppe ‘spot the dummy’ contest.
The second is of some Jurk playing the accordian.
Good line, Nosmo:)
If I had to sit in a room full of ventriloquists and their dummies, I’d be puttng vaseline in my eyes so I wouldn’t have to see them… Most clowns and ventriloquist dummies creep me out.
Doughnuts, hold the sprinkles. Or hold the doughnuts, one in each hand and see if you can make them talk!
Dr. Doll says those who don’t ventriloquize creep me and me out.
I wish we all had a talent
You have one, Fwd!
We are all so totally odd, that its a talent, no doubt!
Thanks for the good thoughts, Shra.
I plan to rejoice in my oddness!
Spin is right, and we all know the sheer responsibility can be a paean in the butt….
True story: one of the young women I dated in high school was crowned “Miss Tomato Queen” at the county fair. So, I’ve got that going for me.
Spin, I can speak French with an Irish accent. I sometimes use this “talent” to hound my French-speaking son to do his chores. He claims it is child abuse! That seems hard to believe, doesn’t it?
As for my youth, I strangely developed a love for fruits.
I had a college roommate who was the reigning USA Soybean Queen. Does that count?
True story, as Pat Robertson would say. When I was a very young reporter in the Midwest, I covered the Indiana State Fair every August, and being an agricultural event, they crowned a queen for every crop. Corn Queen, Oat Queen, a queen for every farm animal, etc.
Anyway, one year I mused in the newsroom that there was a Pork Queen, and I wondered what woman on earth would want that title. So we had a contest among the journalists to come up with a better title for the same contest.
I came in second, with Pig ‘O My Heart, which you may not get if you know nothing of American barbershop quartet songs.
The winning entry, from a very witty reporter? Miss High Sty….
I would be remiss if I did not say that winning the Tomato Queen pageant is quite an honor, and I am indeed honored to have dated the Miss Tomato Queen of my youth.
I think Pig O’ my heart is very nice, Mr.B…
But then, I could be biased..
And really, a red sequined playsuit????
@Shra, I know right! It’s like hottie model on top and Hillary Clinton on the bottom. It’s the mullet of outfits.
Umm.. not quite the comparison I had in mind.. but yeah, I’ll go along, Mr.Pilot…
