I don't know why I was surprised...

Hmmm.... Enough silliness for one day?
It brings to mind when the tag line here was "The Theatre of the Absurd..."

Poor Jack...

Did you ever wonder what happened when Jack had the relatives from Hawai'i over for Christmas dinner? I mean, if you remember how it went at the Christmas party...

Is it our turn yet?

Any thoughts on that?

The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: Driving-- Hey, what are you driving this winter? Same old, same old? ...or was Santa very nice to you (and if so, please pass him/her along to the gang <g>!)? Still with the Camry, the one we put a ton of money into just today to bring it up to spec at the 60,000 mile checkpoint. ...but that will hold things for a while.

Twosome: you-- Hmmm... If you could, and money were no object, what would you be driving? ...and sure: taxes, license, dealer fees, gasoline, tires, insurance, etc. would be covered by Santa! If I could? Something on a closed course with lots of curves and a gear box to work through on them!

Threesome: Crazy!-- ...and it's crazy, but we've made it through another year. Are you going to be doing any celebrating to ring in the New Year? Yes? What's going to be your way to say "Hello" to 2006? Oh, man... Well, if things work out, it'll be some really, really cheesy cult movie (The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension?) and a bit of champagne (with Lo's orange peel and Triple Sec trick)...

How about you? Let us know, over on The Back Porch...
