An Allan Keyes Quick Hit: PORKINS!

13 Jun

June 13, 2013

Allan Keyes burst into the offices of The Editor’s and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride demanding we run this special middle of the week quick hit. Having nothing else scheduled for today they gratefully accepted.

You what always pissed me off about the original Star Wars? That there’s this one fat X-Wing pilot with the bad double chin and or course he’s named PORKins .

Get it? A fat guy named PORKY.  HA. HA. HA.

Boy that George Lucas sure is a wit. He’d be right at home at the Algonquin Round Table (whatever that was. I assume that’s where King Algonquin sat with his knights)

Ever wonder what Lucas would’ve called the pilot if he was black? Either way, I’m pretty sure Star Wars would never have been able to get past the NAACP….

Meanwhile, in an internet far, far away…

THE INTERNET LOVES PORKINS!

Picture Postcard: Regrowth

I took this picture last year, October 29th, right after Hurricane Sandy. This is diagonally across the street from my apartment.

That poor tree on the left looks pretty bad. Let’s check in on it today and see how it is doing.

It’s beautiful how green and full of new growth it has become. Sometimes you never notice the little things right around the corner (or across the street.) Nature really is a thing of beauty, and mature always prevails.
