![]() Happy Thursday everyone! One staggered step closer to the weekend. The last 24 hours have been weird beyond weird at and around The Compound. Things are proceeding with our First Annual Chicken Wing Appreciation Fest. We changed the name after people started complaining about our calling it a chicken wing orgy yesterday. You people lack a sense of humor and take this stupid blog too seriously…sheesh! Get over your righteous upright selves. Besides, it’s cooler to say the acronym FACWAF (sound it out). Anyway, one of the members of the Pathetic Order of the Jackrabbit – Original Chapter (the only civic organization that will have me), Paul “Pottybox” Thornson, will provide us with lots of porta-johns. He’s in the business but is willing to donate the “Necessarys” at a greatly reduced rate (hint, I’m not paying the f*&^ing invoice). That’s good, cuz the last thing I need is a horde of people munching chicken wings made from an as-yet untested recipe and guzzling beer; ultimately leading to an overflow of my septic system here. Two other members of P.O.J.O.C. are headed to Kansas (it’s cheaper there, you know) to buy as much “real” beer as they can get in the back of Terry Two-Finger’s trailer. That isn’t bootlegging, is it? Nah… The Daughter should arrive later today with the truckload of chicken wings in her refrigerated truck. We’ll have to time the thawing to ensure everything is ready to go when I start cooking. Weather-wise, although the least chance of rain is Saturday the winds could be near-horrific. So, I think we’ll take our chances with FACWAF going down on Sunday. Generally, the storms go around us anyway. So come on out! There’s plenty of chicken wings and “real” beer. Cousin Fred suggested that we should start serving wings about the time the Royal Wedding gets underway. I pointed out that the coverage starts at 0300 Compound Time Saturday morning. He and the hairdressing hydrologist Gigi are positively gaga over this stupid royal wedding. Who cares? Honestly, I care even less after being forced over the past several months to watch the drama unfold with her family. Good gawd what a bunch of dysfunctional redneck hillbillies. The Royals will never be the same! I may watch though. I keep getting the idea that soon-to-be-Mrs.-Prince is going to bolt at the last minute and then turn up on a Caribbean island with the latest hunky felon model who probably walked away from eighteenth hole at the William S. Keyless Country Club (local reference to a notoriously escapable local prison, if you aren’t from around here). Mark my word, I’m usually right about stuff like this. Speaking of being right about stuff, a long time ago I marked Rex “Tea For The” Tillerson as the adult supervision in The Trump’s administration. I said he was a smart guy and a reasonably sane person thrown in with a bunch of lunatics seemingly bent on destroying America to make themselves richer. I did! Go look it up! Well, Monsieur Rex turned up at the graduation ceremony at Virginia Military Institute yesterday and made some veiled…okay, they weren’t so veiled…remarks about The Trump and his gang of thugs in D.C. Among his remarks was this gem, “If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as a people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom.” Very well put. Of course, the crowd wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about his remarks – they’re a bunch of militaristic wannabes at VMI after all – but the speech did get some national attention. Now The Trump will be tweeting about cry baby Rex and what a loser he is…blah, blah, blah. You know, I keep holding out hope that maybe this narcissistic old fool will do something astounding. But, it seems that every step forward he takes, he does (or one of his thugs does) something that knocks him back two steps. We’re doomed I’m telling you. My advice is to eat chicken wings, drink beer, and wait for the American princess to run out of the church – at least that will be entertaining. That is all! Comments are closed.
