OK, let's lighten up people.   Q:  Why are there 239 beans in a bowl of bean soup? A:  One more would make it too farty. Two hunters are out in the woods when one collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, and his eyes are glazed. The other hunter calls 911. “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says, “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There’s a silence, then a gunshot. The hunter comes back on the phone: “OK, now what?” A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The driver says, “That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen!” Furious, she sits down next to a man and says, “The driver just insulted me!” The man says, “You go up there and tell him off. Go on—I’ll hold your monkey for you.” “I failed to make the chess team because of my height.” “I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.” “I went to a restaurant that serves ‘breakfast all day.’ So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance.” “I installe...

  The title pretty much says it all.  Nice day, nasty day…do you prefer  to be inside or out? J. P. Bunny

  We were all most likely children at one time, and not little angels either.  But now, childhood is way back in the rear view mirror.  Now that we are adults, we (hopefully) are behaved in public.  Unfortunately, some children aren’t. How do you feel about parents who whose children are disturbing in public?  Crying infants included.  Do you think that the together time is important?  Should the parents be smacked in the head? J. P. Bunny

  Doing the same thing day in and day out.  Days always seeming to be the same.  Some despise being in a rut.  They crave something new or adventurous.  Some, enjoy the predictability and stability.   Bunny enjoys the predictability, and not overly keen on change.  How is it with you? J. P. Bunny

  Bunny and Mrs. Bunny despise the hot weather.  Hate it with a passion.  But, when hanging the laundry out to dry, it is done very quickly.  Saves time and money.  Begrudgingly admit something good comes from it. Are there any good things you can find in the things you hate? J. P. Bunny

  Tuesday at a nifty mountaintop shrine.  Way out in the middle of nowhere, but popular.  Wanted to get a photo of some of the things there, but always needing to wait an eternity for the young fools taking photos of themselves, in front of what others want to see.  Striking poses, making peace signs…pretending they are at some magazines photo shoot. Bunny can see taking a picture to prove you were at the place, but why are people constantly pointing the camera at themselves, with the scenery in the background?  Are people incapable of knowing they were someplace, if they aren’t in the picture?  Mega self absorption? Well, that is Bunny’s rant.  Let your curmudgeon loose. J. P. Bunny

I'm I In ? 

  Think about what is normal now, but would confuse the hell out of your younger self.  “Can I borrow your phone to take a picture?”  You would think that person a loony. Also, anything that younger people say that confuse you? J. P. Bunny

Comedian Louis Black explains maxxing.

 Back to lighter topics. Bunny went to clean the park this morning.  Had a nasty headache.  As he was talking to himself and saying what a nasty headache, came the thought, does anyone ever say they have a good headache?   Good toothache? Silly?  Yes.  But, just things running through Bunny’s warped mind. Any such weird thoughts for you? J. P. Bunny

 Many who used to visit here regularly also would visit Kat's forum. Now she has opted to say goodbye. Why? Disqus isn't what it used to be, and traffic has crawled to almost a stop. https://countrykatnc.blogspot.com/2026/05/its-finally-friday-and-final-thread.html I have been taking the last couple of months to contemplate what I want to do with this forum. I think it's time for me to step away as well. Reasons are multiple. Mainly the loss of old friends, Susan and milo but others as well that, when I check their profiles, have been inactive for months, some for a year or two. Never heard why. Just stopped coming here or anywhere on Disqus. Lack of enthusiasm and participation has been evident as well. That includes my lack of enthusiasm. I am NOT blaming anyone. I can't advertise this forum so newbies are rare. Regulars have either gone away or drop in and leave a comment or two - often, it seems, out of habit. Back n forth conversations don't happen much any mor...

  Comedians.  Solo.  Duo.  Cerebral.  Slapstick.  Famous and not so famous.  Which ones make you laugh?  Hudson and Landry the lesser known ones Bunny enjoys. J. P. Bunny

Welp, ladies 'n germs, the little 'uns are getting big. One or two fish, parts of 'em actually, are always in the nest. Heads gone but the body with the protein is intact. It is so soothing to see nature doing its thing. Some things are still right in the world. https://youtu.be/B4-L2nfGcuE

  From TV and the movies.  Fictional items you would like to have.  The car from Knight Rider?  Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak?   Bunny would like the stopwatch from the Twilight Zone.  If you click it, time stops, except for you. What do you want? J. P. Bunny

 NOT much action on here lately and of course, SNOWY has been absent. I really hope we can have some convo over the following topic because it has been really bringing back memories for me. Here goes: Background: When in my teens and early adulthood I was really into books that spoke to my generation. Some are still popular, some were a fad. Luckily, my highschool was very progressive for the times (60s, 70s), and allowed us students to read just about any material provided two things: That the books we read had SOME social commentary, and we could write about what attracted us, or repelled us. Lately I was on the hunt for a book titled  A Separate Peace by John Knowles  (published 1959) Found a copy on a dusty bookshelf in a 2nd hand book store. Of course books with a social message didn't have to be written in the 60s or 70s, as long as they stimulated our minds and made us think about conditions outside of our personal experience. Of course everyone is pretty much fami...

  In school, Bunny never got geometry, other than the area of a simple object.   “Prove this is a triangle.”  “It has three sides.”  “Prove it.”  Screw that.    Math fine, until you left the numbers behind, and went with letters.  Lost at sea. English, history, art, music, no problem for Bunny. What about you?  This can also be life now. J. P. Bunny

  A one off item.   Do you know what it is?  If so, do you know who it belonged to? Answers on the morrow. J.P. Bunny

  Household chores.  Do you enjoy them?  Don’t like them?  Just something that needs to be done?  Bunny likes cleaning the ceiling lights, but not at a set time, such as end of year cleaning.   Cleaning behind the fridge…leave the dust be. How are you and chores?

 I found, on one of my streaming services, The Lords of Flatbush. The Lords of Flatbush  (1974) is  often considered a "cheesy"  or at least a highly nostalgic, low-budget 1970s take on the 1950s, though it is also recognized for its authentic atmosphere and for launching the careers of Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler. No doubt about it, this is one cheesy movie. Any OTHER cheesy movies you all fell in love with and are loathe to admit you enjoy watching??

  Most of us here are not young whippersnappers. Our language tends to reflect that.  Have your words caused some to scratch their heads?  The students never knew what Bunny was going on about with record player, phonograph, tape recorder, nifty… Anything you normally use that dates you? J.P. Bunny
