Romney says story about Michigan layoffs is ‘humorous’ | The Raw Story

Romney says story about Michigan layoffs is ‘humorous’ | The Raw Story: "“Every time they would start playing ‘On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin,’ my dad’s political people would jump up and down and try to get them to stop, because they didn’t want people in Michigan to be reminded that my dad had moved production to Wisconsin,” Romney chuckled.

The Detroit News noted that Hudson Motor Car Co. production was moved from Michigan to Wisconsin in 1954 after the company merged with Nash-Kelvinator and became American Motors. While some workers were asked to relocate to Wisconsin, 4,300 more lost their jobs."




eh, er, uh, uhm, eh . . . . ha ha ha?

State of the Art Museum: What MoCCA Has Accomplished and Failed to Accomplish After Ten Years | The Comics Journal

State of the Art Museum: What MoCCA Has Accomplished and Failed to Accomplish After Ten Years | The Comics Journal:

The MoCCA festival has flourished and a series of varied educational programs sponsored by the museum continues to thrive. As for the museum itself, well, at least it’s still here, and that’s more than some comic-art museums can say. It hasn’t gone virtual the way Kevin Eastman’s Words and Pictures Museum did in 1999. And it hasn’t been absorbed by a university like Mort Walker’s Museum of Cartoon Art, now a resident of the Ohio State campus. But if MoCCA is a success story, it’s also a story of compromises and struggle. It’s a story that may have much to tell about the place of comics in the East Coast art world. Because, for better or worse, MoCCA is the high-water mark for the level of respectability that comic art has been able to carve out for itself in its home town.

Love The Irish


Love The Irish
    via Billy C.



Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an
important meeting and couldn't find a parking place.   Looking up to
heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me.   If you find me a parking place
I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me
Irish Whiskey!'

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'




Ababab
Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he
meets, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'

The man said, 'I do, Father.'

The priest said, 'Then stand over there against the wall.'

Then the priest asked the second man, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'

'Certainly, Father,' the man replied.

'Then stand over there against the wall,' said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, 'Do you want to go
to heaven?'

O'Toole said, 'No, I don't Father.'

The priest said, 'I don't believe this.   You mean to tell me that when
you die you don't want to go to heaven?'

O'Toole said, 'Oh, when I die , yes.   I thought you were getting a
group together to go right now.'




Ababab
Paddy was in  New York .

He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street
crossing.   The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, 'Okay,
pedestrians.'   Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.

He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.

After the cop had shouted, 'Pedestrians!' for the tenth time, Paddy
went over to him and said, 'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics
across?'




Ababab
Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in
the obituary column that he had died.   He quickly phoned his best
friend, Finney.

'Did you see the paper?' asked Gallagher. 'They say I died!!'

'Yes, I saw it!' replied Finney.   'Where are ye callin' from?'




Ababab
An Irish priest is driving down to  New York   and gets stopped for
speeding in Connecticut ..   The state trooper smells alcohol on the
priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the
car.

He says, 'Sir, have you been drinking?'

'Just water,' says the priest.

The trooper says, 'Then why do I smell wine?'

The priest looks at the bottle and says, 'Good Lord! He's done it
again!'




Ababab
Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, 'Pour me a
stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman.'

'Oh yeah?' said Charlie, 'And how did this one end?'

'When it was over,' Mike replied, 'She came to me on her hands and
knees.'

'Really,' said Charles, 'Now that's a switch!   What did she say?'

She said, 'Come out from under the bed, you little chicken.'




Ababab
Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking
buddy, Paddy.   He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife,
Kathleen.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their
upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step.   As he caught himself
by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily
on his rump.   A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the
landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, Patton sprung up, pulled down his pants, and
looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and
bleeding.   He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and
began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.

He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled
his way to bed.

In the morning, Patton woke up with searing pain in both his head and
butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room.

She said, 'You were drunk again last night weren't you?'

Patton said, 'Why you say such a mean thing?'

'Well,' Kathleen said, 'it could be the open front door, it could be
the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of
blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but
mostly ....... it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.






Life is too short for negative drama & petty things. So laugh insanely,
love truly and forgive quickly!
From one unstable person to another... I hope everyone in your head is
happy - we're all doing pretty good in mine!

Religious Statues Left Behind Find Their Own Patron Saint - NYTimes.com

Religious Statues Left Behind Find Their Own Patron Saint - NYTimes.com:

 "“I just got her a month ago,” Lou McClung says, as he dabs a paintbrush to a faded life-size statue of the patron saint of those who work in explosives. Nearby, a tired St. Anthony of Padua, patron of lost things, awaits his own appointment, as does a worn St. Rose of Lima, once known for her beauty but now, in the estimation of Mr. McClung, “a big hot mess."

Comic Book Hoarders | The Comics Journal

Comic Book Hoarders | The Comics Journal:


"Comic Book Hoarders
BY FRANK SANTORO MAR 4, 2012


Unpacked one of my comic book boxes from tour. Some of these I bought in Portland, some I got in Vancouver. Whether traded for, purchased or stolen from friends when they weren’t looking – I gotta thank Zack Soto, Jason Levain, Robin McConnell and Brandon Graham for helping me with my habit."

==================O=============================

looking through this batch of comicbook covers is like an episode of THIS IS YOUR LIFE, ED.  i remember many of these. i'm not certain that i agree with certain of Frank Santoro's quips, but hey, G-D made the rainbow so that we could each have a choice in wardrobe coordination.

 a case in point is HERBIE. granted, my take on this character's various series
 is tainted by nostalgia and my own recollections on prepubescent fatdom, but can anyone that's read the series argue against it's being one of the most original, fun and downright strangest comicbooks ever printed?

okay, there's MeatHaus. but Frank doesn't categorize these as crap, does he?


Charlton Comic's Jungle Jim #27 has to be one of the worst Steranko covers ever.
side by side with Jeff Jone's  FORBIDDEN LOVE (a poor man's Bernie Wrightson?)
okay nthat wasn't fair, but tell me that you didn't think of that angle yourself.

there's a few of these that i'm not familiar with/do not own. if i were to
 get my choice of one of these based on the cover alone i would opt for
 HERO COMICS from ACQ. c'mon that SM cover tingles the nether regions, does it not?

overall pick?
 sorry, but i gotta go back  for the FAT FURY, HERBIE #1!
love that plunger on the head. :-)

fart football

via

==============================O=================================


Old Fart Football
An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, ‘Seven Points.'

His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?'
The old man replied, 'its fart football.'

A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says,‘Touchdown, tie score...'

After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says,
'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says,
'Touchdown, tie score.'

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says,
'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on the old man.

He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally craps in the bed.

The wife says, 'What the hell was that?'

The old man says, 'Half time, switch sides






{If you don't laugh at this one, then you've got a terrible sense of humor!}
