It's a dark and pseudo-scientific day as I drink my morning coffee and eat my annual breakfast piece of pizza pie, cold, but previously baked in a gas stove now safe from Government overreach; all the while thinking "Dang, it is Friday, I'm safe from spiders and least I've got Miss Cellania to put some lipstick on this pig and brighten my day even if she first demands a comment."

How in the name of Jaysus are ya Miss C?

With regard to the Texas Rangers hat – just Google the word 'TETAS'.   That's a fail on an epic level.

Darn, I'll miss the Bulwer-Lytton contest entries. My favorite opening line:
"The lanky cowboy got down from his horse, which was odd, because usually you get down from a goose."

I'm fine, gwdMaine. I have two grandchildren staying with me, which is why my posting is pretty erratic these days.

Now I'll never be able to submit the BLFC entry I've spent years telling myself I would submit someday. Dang. Just… dang.

I am also really going to miss the BLFC... it's long been a favorite to read and enter (7 entries made it to the results list). Just this year, I came up with one I really felt good about.
