What I Want In A Leader

I want someone to get out there

 Thank you for asking.

And Now For A Mental Health Break

If you need a boost this will give you one.

If you’re doing super you get to sit there and say,

” I know, I know “

and feel all superior.

So this is a win-win for us all.

Mom, I Don’t Want To Go To School

When I  in grade school part of our lessons involved  memorizeing  poems or math or English lessons.

To this day I can still remember what it felt like to go up to the blackboard and have to recite those lessons in front of the class with the teacher sitting there with his or her green ( and later red ) grade book.

Nah, I wasn’t scared I used to blow it for fun.

Just to see the look on everyone’s face.

Or I’d bust out with a song from School House Rock.

Those were the days.

Nobody on this planet 

knows psychological warfare like my

Parents. 

When I was a kid and my Parents used to argue

and it was clear no one was giving in

this is how they called a winner.

The first one to convince the other

that they could get to a store

first

and buy me this toy

before the other one

and get it into my hands

WON.

No.

I never did get the toy.

Darn It.

Looks COUNT.

Skin color COUNTS.

What sex you are COUNTS.

Your religion COUNTS.

Then

 WHY does it feel like

so many of us

DON’T MATTER

Hey! Other Important Stuff Happens

Who cares what Uncle Bill and Auntie Hill

 and all the other

Ommpa Loompas did today in the Land of Skulduggery.

They Found Life On Mars

Yay!

The World May Never Know

yeah…and all these years later we STILL don’t know

you Tootsie Pop Cretins.

SEE

That’s why PEZ are my favorite candy.

They are not complicated.

Do you remember this urban legend?

I do.

It’s one of my favorites. 

A Tootsie Pop Mystery

( this article snatched from the jaws of the internet )

The Indian on the Tootsie Roll Pop

as told by Larry Rosenblum,
Port Angeles, Washington

 

There is a legend associated with the wrapper of Tootsie Pop suckers. The story is that if you come across a wrapper with a picture of a boy in an Indian costume shooting an arrow at a star, and you send that wrapper to the company that makes Tootsie Pops, you will receive either a free sucker or a case of suckers.

(It depends on who is telling the story.)

That’s the legend, and this part is for real.

 One day I was working at NBC editing a show with the associate director who was also my friend. We were clowning around, and he used his left hand to write a letter to the company that makes Tootsie Pops asking about the story.

He was right-handed, but he used his left hand in an attempt to make the letter look like it came from a little kid. His name is Rick, so he signed the letter “Ricky.”

Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. sent back a nice letter explaining that the rumor had surfaced over fifty years ago, but nobody knows how or why.

 “Our records do not indicate that our company ever sponsored any type of promotion surrounding the Indian, or any other picture on the wrapper,” said the letter, and unfortunately it also said, “There has never been anyone who ever got Tootsie Pops free for sending in wrappers to our company.”

What you do get free is a fairy tale about how an Indian chief was responsible for the invention of Tootsie Pops.

 

Another wonderful Urban Legend dies.

Geeze.

PEZ fans wouldn’t do something like that to our candy.

However-

Tootsie Pops are fair game.

They brought it on themselves
