Bobservations

Carlos is old school in a lot of ways and I remember he came to me once and said he had a hole in a sock:

“I need to darn these socks.”

And so of course I responded:

“Okay, Pa, I’m’a gonna hitch the horses to the buggy and head into Walnut Grove for supplies, but I’ll be back before supper.”

He was not amused. Cut to this past weekend and Carlos comes to me again and tells me again that he has to darn some socks and, with all my might, I mustered out a simple:

"Okay.”

And off he went.

An hour later he came to me despondent because he said he didn’t think he could fix the socks. And he showed me how he had cut two squares out of an old beach towel and tried to sew one square on the outside of the sock and one square on the inside of the sock and ended up sewing the two sides together. I smiled and thought for a moment of what I could say and came up with this:

“Honey, you do know that we can afford new socks, right?”

Bob for the win.

From October 2011 it’s Caturday: Head Shots

I'm thinking of pitching a new idea to Bravo, The Real HouseCats Of Camden, so I have been taking headshots of the players for my proposal.

Here they are:

Tuxedo would be that cat. The one everybody loves and wonders why he is on such a trashy show.

Consuelo Roca Jones would be the cat that flips the table because she doesn't understand what you said.

Tallulah Belle is the crazy one, with the wonky eyes, that you never know when she'll attack.

MaxGoldberg will be the one who cries every single episode. On cue.

And for a little diversity, we'll toss Ozzo in the mix. He'll be the outsider who's always crashing the HouseCat parties and eating their food.

Just in time for Thanksgiving we have the newest taste sensation sweeping the planet: Silver Fox Cakes. Yummy ...

This week, on the heels of spending some $300 million to influence an election but not spending a single cent to do anything good for the planet, Leon Skum Tweeted this:

“Hitler was a far left socialist.”

And received this response:

“[Leon]. You absolute fucking moron. The Nazis were far-right fascists who destroyed labor unions, persecuted communists and socialists, and murdered political opponents. Hitler literally purged the party’s left wing.

Calling Nazis socialists because of their name is like believing North Korea is Democratic because it calls itself the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,

Imagine being the richest man alive and still being too fucking stupid to understand history at a middle-school level. Money can buy you a platform, [Leon]. Apparently it can’t buy you a functioning brain.”

And it may not buy you Texas either.

After weeks of Cankles’ holding his rallies and Talking about how hot some men are, about men and their fine asses, about some big and their big dicks, this week MAGA Seante Majority Leader John Thune spoke at a rally about his fellow GOPer Bernie Moreno and called his “eye candy.”

MAGA clearly stands for Make America Gay Again to the GOP.

This is rich, and stupid: the White House is claiming Melanie brokered a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine.

The same Melanie who took credit for a college degree she never got and took credit for a speech Michelle Obama wrote and took credit fluency in 5 languages that English is not one of—is taking credit for a ceasefire deal that Pope Leo brokered.

She can’t even get her husband to change his own diaper.
