1. What had been an uneventful day at the unemployment office turn a turn for the worse when a well-paying job was posted — Token.
2. HE: “What is this?”
SHE: “It’s mutton, Jeff. Don’t hogget just ‘cause we’re on the lamb.”
HE: “Well, it’s yours. I have no ewes for it” — John Austin.
3. The 09 Blobfest was a great success, even though those that could or would not attend got ‘picked to pieces’ by those attending — Marmitetoasty.

Great photo Dave. SOOO many possibilities.

43 blue vultures circle the huckleberry patch, waiting for the old blog to croak.

While most thought the market speculators had flown away, the reality is many say BUY IN NOW.

Poor Sammy Sheep’s last words to the circling vultures: “You wanna piece of me, huh? Do ya?”

Blue, I think you are right. Sheep? That looks rather bovine for a sheep.

Leave it to a bird watcher to not know a cow from a sheep.
