News, but not the serious kind
The most romantic protests ever?

Blog Guy, I read that they’re having street protests in Casablanca. Can you give us some details?
You know I don’t like to do research.
Well, maybe you could just look at some recent photos and guess what’s going on, as usual?
Okay, okay. I’ll try to imagine some dialogue for these news pictures. Casablanca, huh?
* * * * * *
“Why did you have to come to Casablanca? There are other places.”
“I wouldn’t have come if I’d known that you were here. Believe me Rick, it’s true I didn’t know…”
“Let’s see, the last time we met… I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.”
“I can’t fight it anymore. I ran away from you once. I can’t do it again. Oh, I don’t know what’s right any longer. You have to think for both of us. For all of us.”
“All right, I will. Here’s looking at you, kid. If that bus leaves and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”
“Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time!”
“You better hurry. You’ll miss that bus…”
* * * * * *
“Major Strasser has been bitten! Round up the usual suspects!”
“Woof! Woof!”
“Lucky, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship…”

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that blog guy would rewrite lines from a movie for the purpose of garnering a cheap laugh!
LOL! loving the “bitten” part of the monologue…
The guy in the first photo’s nose is so large that it has actually begun to affect his posture.
Ah, romance – ain’t it grand?
The guy in the top picture was also heard to say, “Here’s looking down on you, kid. If you accept my love, I will always keep you safe and protected under my giant nose.”
She responded with a particular hand gesture.
He said, “OK then, how much for a quickie in the back room at Rick’s?”
Fabulous, Mr B — way cooler than the movie.
Smart dog…staying above the fray.
Love – exciting and bold
Not like our bus, which is really quite old
Let it by
Or it might run over you.
The Love Bus – soon we’ll be making another stop.
The Love Bus – correct fare to ride on the top.
Very appropriate for Casablanca to have protests, street demonstrations, etc., isn’t it? Talk about “Round up the usual suspects….”
Would have been better if the photos were B&W.
Who’s bringing the popcorn?
BG: Love your take on the pictures. Have to admit when I read the headline I was thinking the protests might have been along the lines of “Stop, stop, don’t, don’t oh don’t stop!”
I think the dog has the best spot. Maybe the dog is
Spot, wondering if his dog treat he’ll have or have not. If only his owner would just whistle. His owner does know how to whistle, doesn’t he?
Thanks, Ladylala. Surprised to find no comment from you on today’s other post, Wild Things. I guess even you finally see that Lamar has gone too far?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing your dog he won’t know Beggin’ Strips isn’t real bacon. And just like that, –woof–, he’s gone.
Happy Holidays, Spin!
Malt, Jazz, the haiku legacy falls on your shoulders in the mean time..
Keep us entertained and Spin proud..
I agree with the dog having the best spot.. A bowl of popcorn and a Diet Coke and the dog for company… Could watch that protest all evening long…
Girl arguing on your face is HOT !
@ Mr B re Wild Things: Having pleaded with you in the past to spare my Lamar from such dangerous assignments, I was too pained to comment on your callous disregard. When Doc and I have arranged for Lamar’s honorary doctorate from Yale, you will be forced to treat him with more solicitude.
Spin, have a great holday. I render this farewell:
She doth abandon
her post as our blog bardette.
We’re left haiku-less.
Lady, I hear what you’re saying regarding Lamar. BTW, you misspelled jail…..
You’re too quick, Mr B.
Spin’s on holiday
so we’re bereft of her verse
we must carry on
Have fun Spin.
I’m disappointed you couldn’t get some pictures of macaws or similar into this story Mr B. “We’ll always have parrots…”
ifly, great lines from Usual Suspects..that film rocks!!
Spin, have a nice holiday, and take this haiku with you.
A break from the blog,
Bus passengers on the roof,
And a dog goes woof!
