Annoyed at thread drift

(I wrote this a year ago. I just think that occasionally people should be reminded of my station in life.)

To my knowledge nobody has ever associated my branch of my family with nobility. This must now change. I have learned that as the senior surviving member I am the rightful Earl of Dinglebury. Which is pretty damn surprising, considering that we are East Tennessee Irish.

I would take my seat in the House of Lords, but London is a heck of a commute.

Please feel free to address me as "Your Lordship" only on formal occasions, like cow chip tosses and goat gelding. I want to remain unspoiled as long as possible.

Thank you for your respectful consideration.
Did I "like" this the first time? Will I get dinged if I double "like" it inadvertently? Does the big ape track these things? Has anyone seen my pants?

Just pretend this is witty.
 
I need some help! I'm sure a lot of you suspected this, right? Anyways, My PC is running Win93 Professional(hard to believe, right?)& I've forgotten how to put a shortcut in. I would like to put one on my desktop for the Forum. Any ideas?

I went from Win. 3.11 to Win. 95, and do not even remember there having been a Win. 93. See if a right mouse click on the home screen will get you a context menu with Create a Shortcut as an option. F-1 should pull up Help. F-1 is where the term RTFM originated.
 
We're gonna head on out to the cinema and see the new Tarzan movie.
I figger this can go one of two ways.
Either I'll be fired up over an accurate interpretation of the Tarzan books or I'll be disgusted at wasting money at another lame movie.
Either way we're gonna to to the Y afterwards for a good workout.

Any rope climbing involved?
Perhaps some swinging with a rope, or maybe some rings?

Tarzan is one of my heros. Rarely wore pants.

Great Iowa Saturday here!
Went for a drive!
Had to wait at the end of the lane to get on to Hwy 22. A tractor parade going west on the highway. My guess is about 50 tractors of varying vintage.
Drove the river road along the Mississippi River from Muscatine to Davenport. Had lunch at the Iowa Machine Shed Machine Shed Restaurant . Bought a couple of matching Farm boy T shirts for the son and grandson. Matching clothing annoys my son almost as much as someone at the restaurant table ordering the samething! 😜
Near Wildcat Den Park we went by the house of some friends, old horse riding companions from experiences across the west, we have not seen for a number of years. He was home and said his wife was at the nearby Lutheran Church helping with a quilt show. After visiting with Jerry we went to the quilt show! Had a nice visit with Janice and she showed us her family quilt which was made in 1889! Had a history of the family, and various family elements, including Army unit designations from the Civil War. Each family group, or member had different items ?embroidered? representing something of significance to them, food items, horses, mules, military symbols, helderary for Germany of the 1800's, farm implements, names, etc. All done with red thread on a off-white cloth. Very impressive item. Nice visit!
Then on the way home ran into the same tractor parade about 20 miles east of where we first saw them. Saw individual tractors also on the way home from the parade. Long day and a lot of highway time for the tractor drivers.
Very Iowa day with nothing but good experienced! 😁

Thanks, Big K! I figured it out...
 
Do you remember the Wild Kingdom episode where a giant boa/snake terrorized a native village. Marlin and Jim put a pig in a cage and the snake crawled in one night, ate the pig, and the pig stuck in the snake's gut trapped the snake in the cage. I feel like the snake. It's a good thing they have double wide doors at Pappasito's or I'd be trapped there now digesting. Water was my beverage of choice up till now. So dinner is a Wasatch Devastator Dopple Bock. I'm still stuffed.

Holy **** ! The Mrs. And I are like two well done piece s of toast! . We drove out to the city to catch a few acts Of the blues festival incl. Sony Landreth who finished up his first set around 5:30.
I just couldn't stay any longer. With the heat and humidity ( Dew point is 70) plus the fact that all the stages are out in the open city streets and side walks it was dang Hot!!
What a great Blues festival it is again this year. Everybody dancing and enjoying themselves with nary a problem to be had, even with hundreds of people roaming around drinking a beer or two , eating some good BBQ and listening to some excellent blues jamming. But now I'm whooped and need to relax and knock back a couple of cold ones myself.
 
I stole this off of Krell1 on his thread currently on the Lounge.
So Funny i had to share it with you folks.........

A blonde man shouts frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"

"Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor.

"No!" he shouts, "this is her husband!"

Had a really good day today.
First stop was the cinema to see the new Tarzan movie.
I really enjoyed it but it might not be everybody's cup of tea.
The cinema was so cold, we drove to the Y with the windows up to warm up.
After a good workout, we were hanging out in the warm pool discussing the question of the day. "What's for supper?"
My wife reminded me that she hit one of her weight loss goals and decided that she wanted to try out the new "Cracker Barrel" they built out there.
We liked it so much we're looking forward to hitting another goal weight so we can go again.
They have a diet menu that included barbecued chicken.

You're going to need to do some serious basking...I used to know the feeling well. I just can't eat like I used to be able to...I mean getting to that point where you feel like a Nile crocodile that just scored a large antelope on the most recent migration, and you won't have to eat for maybe a month...

I will deliver my yearly taxes sir, after the harvest moon.:):)
