It didn't come right away, but as I was reading it, it "reminded" me of something...

The process went something similar to this:

"Pardon me Roy" ... "Pardon me boy?" ...

How did that song go again? I know it ends with "choo choo", so that would be the "new shoes", but I couldn't figure out the middle until I remembered "Chattanooga" and sang it to myself. Then I was able to sing the joke's punchline.

Naw. It reminds me of the Camptown races joke that my Grandpa used to toss at me whenever he thought I forgot it(which I never did, I just loved to hear gim tell it, with all the cute gestures and expressions). Goodness, I miss him andmy Grandma both.

What song did they play at the Grim Reaper's graduation?


Psychopomp and Circumstance

I have no idea how I never learned that word until reading Gunnerkrigg Court.

I didn't learn to recognize it and its meaning until a few years ago, either. It's not a word much used in American English, outside of classes on mythology and religion.

I'd guess that the word is a bit unusual to many, today, in part because the concept isn't a big part of the belief systems of the most commonly-practiced religions in the US these days. Much more common in the older "pagan" religions, wnd shamanic belief systems.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot... groan

I learnt it from Stephen King in "The Dark Half"

Did you hear about the man who was working on a detailed analysis of people who leave the armed forces without permission to prepare sweet snacks in arid lands?

He finally finished his desert dessert desertion dissertation.

His rival published a rebuttal but it was widely panned as being full of inaccurate twisting of facts. It was quite the deserved desert dessert desertion dissertation distortion destruction.

Today's mindf**k provided by the letter D!

What is Captain Kirk's favorite kind of pie?






PECAAAAAAAAAAN!

Klingon son, you killed my bastard!

Great, now I'm imagining Cpt. Kirk moonlighting as a motivational speaker.

"Everytime you... Look in a mirror... Tell yourself: yes... I... KHAAAAAN!!"

Never kill a man over breakfast. It might turn you into a cereal killer.

In Billings, Montana, there was a bar serving drinks. One evening a bear walked into a bar and ordered a beer.
"I'm sorry, but we don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings" was the bartender's reply
"Look you, I want a beer, and I want it now you sumbich."
"I'm sorry, but we don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings." was the bartender's response
"If you don't serve me a beer, I'm gonna go eat that woman down at the end of the bar."
"We still don't serve beer to bullying belligerent bears in bars in Billings. "
With that, the bear goes down to the end of the bar, and eats the woman. "So, you gonna serve me now?"
"No. We don't serve beer to bullying belligerent bears on drugs in bars in Billings."
"Wait... on drugs? Whaddya mean on drugs?"
"That was the bar b*ch you ate."

Run for your lives! The muttery filky punster liiiiives!

That's as bad as when Mattel admitted that Ken got that blank look and blank crotch from dependence on phenobarbiedolls.
