THE POLITICS-FREE GRUDGE

Posted by Pistol Pete

I was sitting here at my machine yesterday and I said to myself:self,it’s about time for a respite from the insanity going on everywhere.So I dug deep and found some different articles,some funny,some sad,some heartbreaking and some heartwarming.

I’m in a goofy mood,so I hope to make you chuckle or at least smile.

Note:no elected officials or domestic animals were harmed in the making of this blog.

    SUPER BOWL MVP JOE FLACCO SECOND-HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE NFL
    He just signed a 6 year,$120 million deal,which is the biggest contract in NFL history.However,he lives in Maryland,where the total tax bite is 51%.So actually,he’s behind the Saints’ Drew Brees based on where they live.

    MAN GOES BERSERK WITH AXE AT DUNKIN’ DONUTS
    What is it about Dunkin Donuts that makes people go wacko?are they serving coffee with a side order of hallucinogenics?

      I must at all times live withing a half an hour from a Dunkin Donuts. Life is that simple for me. Small with double whole milk. Perfect. Still comes in a cardboard cup and a lid that works and does not require the coffee to pass through plastic.

        When Dearest and I got serious about marriage, we spent all night talking, then at 5:00 am went to a Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast. We wrote out lists, pro and con, for marriage. The waitress and a couple of truckers on the counter stools nearby helped. The pro con was longer, so after we finished eating, we decided we should find the next Mass in town and let God have the final say.

          • My first experience with working for an actual employer was at the (then) brand-spanking new Dunkin Donuts in Wheaton. I was 16, and I was very excited about having my first real job. It turned out to be a real eye-opener for me, in more ways than one. I had led rather a sheltered life and was very naïve. That job was in some ways my first taste of life in the real world. I still regale my longsuffering children with my vast treasure trove of amusing anecdotes from the year I spent working at Dunkin Donuts.

            Oh, and I still love their coffee. I get it whenever I can, which isn’t very often, since there aren’t any near me… but when I happen to be where there is a DD, I buy the extra-super-jumbo size coffee. Mmmmmm….

              BOB-I think I have been to that DD, back when I still ate donuts once in a while. Is it the one on Main Street? It is still there, not like the High School. I guess some things never change.
              Chrissy-what a cute story. Love begins at Dunkiin Donuts. Maybe you can sell the idea to their ad agency.

              • Is it really still there? I don’t get to Wheaton very often since my parents died. When I go to Illinois, I stay with my best friend in West Chicago (we’ve been friends since kindergarten), and as there are two DDs within easy driving distance of her house, we always go there for coffee.

    82 YEAR OLD WOMAN FALLS AFTER BEING THROWN OFF TRAIN FOR SINGING GOSPEL HYMNS

      It was good to see people came to her defense about how she was treated, but that said, I would find it annoying to be subjected to singing on the train. Most people cannot carry a tune, and maybe this woman was in that realm.
      Now if STING was singing, I would never get off the train.

      • If they had a clearly stated rule and she violated it, then they were justified in removing her from the train. And I can understand other passengers being annoyed, regardless of what type of music she was singing, and even if she had a good voice. When I’m stuck in a bus or a train or an airplane, I like to pass the time by reading, and it becomes difficult, if not impossible, when there are other distracting noises occurring around me. This is why I absolutely detest televisions in waiting rooms. Every waiting room in the Western Hemisphere seems to be infested with the things, and they are always blaring away at top volume. I always turn them off if I can get away with it.

      That’s so cool! I even know what an entrenching tool is cuz my dd told me this story about boot camp.

      “We were in the woods when this male soldiers hollers out, ‘FEMALES! HEAD’S UP!’ and flings his e-tool right at us. It landed on a poisonous snake at our feet and cut its head off! We hadn’t even seen it and were saying how grateful we were and where’d he learn to do that!? He just smiled and said all redneck hillbilly crackers can do that.” LOL

      I knew a lady once whose ex had robbed a McDonald’s at gunpoint, then went back to the same place a couple weeks later and ordered a meal from the same counter person. He’d worn a mask, but his body type was very distinctive (real tall, with an unusually long torso). I always think of that when cops on t.v. say most criminals get caught cuz they’re just so damn dumb.

        Totally agree. They also are saying featherhead, Hasselback is leaving. The show must need ratings.
        I still say, if they would come up with a show called the RE View, or Another View, the ratings would soar. Whoopie can stay on and take on the likes of Michele Malkin, Dana Loesch, and a conservative grandmother to take the place of BaBaWaWa. I would never miss that show.
        Of course, this would never happen because the alphabets do not want anyone to hear the other view, even though it would be a cash cow.
