And the old lady that swallowed a fly? Ended up swallowing a horse and croakin'? Sounds like a heroin overdose to me.
Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 7 months ago
How could I ever forget 'Poor Old Lady'? It's in one of my favorite books from grade school! My copy of it is starting to disintegrate, since it was not printed on acid free archival paper. I'm looking at it right now, and I think you might be right about the allegorical reference to heroin. I never realized what the poem really meant until you pointed it out just now.
It all started with the gateway drug of a fly. Then, her drug usage became worse and worse as time passed, until she finally died of a heroin overdose. When I was young, I didn't know that "horse" is a reference to "smack", which is also known as "heroin". Most of the young readers of the poem are not aware of that. The poem is pretty long, this is the last two verses of it:
Poor old lady, she swallowed a horse.
She died, of course.
Ron takes his pills.
They don't help much.
RoeDapple 1 year, 7 months ago
How 'bout that lady that had all those kids and lived in a shoe? "She didn't know what to do." I say she knew exactly what to do. Didn't involve wearing shoes either. Or much of anything else.
Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 7 months ago
About 1980 or so, I saw a movie titled: 'Fairy Tales'. I don't remember very much of it because all of us were talking too much, and not paying much attention to the rather silly X rated movie.
But I do remember the Madame that lived in a great big shoe. And it wasn't kids she was living with.

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 7 months ago
Have you noticed that I never comment on taxation issues? I don't do that because I am aware of the limits of my knowledge base.
As far as this particular comment goes, Obama faced a history that was not of his own making. It takes a great deal of time to correct errors made in the past, certainly more than three years.
That's the reality of the situation that President Obama is facing now.
Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 7 months ago
I was thinking more about the two or possibly three wars we are involved in. (Does Libya count?) We as a nation are stuck with them now, and I believe that there has been tremendous mistakes made in the past that has led to this situation. Well, maybe that's a stupid statement to make, because it's so obvious now, looking back.
I think that besides the cost in human lives and injuries, they are quite likely the basis of a lot of other problems.
If it wasn't for the two wars we are in now, the total Federal Debt would be only about two thirds it is now, and the taxation issue would not be nearly the burden that it will have to be in the future.
I am including inflation as part of that assessment, which is a hidden tax that politicians like to use because it's not obvious to so many.

The CDC says that oral sex accounts for causing 60% of oral cancer. However, the button pusher on the LJW wants to withhold this information and news.
autie says "the CDC is just another fear mongering outlet for the MIC that controls all aspects of our lives", however I propose that autie could be a closet Michele Bachmann devotee and think that HPV vaccinations will turn your daughters in to sluts.
Think of your community, immunize your daughters with the HPV vaccination.

That is because the human papillomavirus is spread that way. But there is also another cancer that is often found in conjunction with an infection with human papillomavirus.

The joke in 'Cinderella' (1977) that falls flat on modern audiences is about Ripple, because that brand of wine is no longer being sold.
You'd have to remember Ripple, also remember it sold for $0.26 a bottle in 1973, and watch the whole movie through to catch that one, though!
And the reason I know that exact price is because I bought a bottle of it on my first (underage) trip to a liquor store.
