New Year's Pun(s) !!!!!!

A good pun is its own reword

I don't think I was concentrating properly when midnight struck on January 1st. It just went in one era and out the other.

If you write bad things about me I am libel to sue you.

Joe refused to eat sushi because it looks fishy.

I stole someone else's idea for a stage drama. Am I a playgiarist?

And finally…

Subdued: A surfer guy on a submarine...

2008!

Well, I did my part. And you.....?

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!

Time to sit on the lanai and toast the year that has past while looking forward to the hope and promise of 2008.

Benazir Bhutto, RIP.

So you want to know what Al Quaeda thinks about Democracy, rights for all and simply having a choice in your vote? Look to Pakistan. What a mess. In a deal brokered by the US State Department she came home to once again lead her country as her father. Death awaited. Surprised? No, but shocking nevertheless.

From across the pond Mr. Freemarket put it best;

However, we wont beat these ba*tards by sitting back & hoping that the screeching moral indignation of the Guardian’s editorial column will bring democracy, freedom & prosperity to those parts of the World that don’t already enjoy such privileges ... That will take high velocity ammunition & laser guided bombs ...So the next time that some troops out siren starts gobbing off about Iraq or Afghanistan, its worth while pointing to Benazir Bhutto’s smouldering remains & reminding them that this is why we fight

Rest in peace.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Rumbear clan is off to celebrate the holiday. Hold your loved ones and reflect on the troops abroad. Cherish the season and all it brings. I wish you and yours and safe and Merry Christmas!

Monday's Christmas Eve Pun(s) !!!!

Christmas is the time of year when women get Santamental.

Christmas is the time of year when mother has to separate the men from the toys.

Christmess: Five minutes after the gifts are opened.

Scrooge loves all the reindeer equally, because every buck is dear to him.

Apposition and Concordance..

The Rumbear was up early. Oh dark thirty with cold clear skies and the full moon sinking into the Pacific. The dawn of a new day was ready to explode forth on the opposite horizon. Loaded Bailey D. Dawg into the Landrover and headed up to Mt. Soledad for the moment.

Sunrise. Moonset. Reminded me of the Jimmy Buffet tune "the sun and the moon seem to acknowledge each other and they moved in both apposition and concordance in a breath taking dance of light..."

Breath taking, indeed.

FRED!

The man has been scoring points in the past week. Fundraising, key endorsements and moving up in the polls. Check out "He's Finally Freddy for Prime Time" for details. Certainly you saw his "I'm not doing any hand shows toady" moment at the debate. Some think this will be his "I'm paying for this microphone moment of the campaign. We will see. Nevertheless a powerful statement when the rest of the lemmings who would be President were subjugated by a schoolmarm turned debate moderator. How do you expect them to stand up to the leaders of Korea and Iran when a they can't say "not today" to an uppity moderator. Here's a quick "No Hats" video that plays on that moment.

Finally, with all the hub bub of the holidays the candidates are all getting their greetings out prattling on about how they support the troops, god, 2nd amendment, Christianity and whatever else will pander to your senses. With this in mind take a moment and watch this one.

I know who I want for president, do you?

It's Aloha Friday...
...no work till Monday!!!

Doo de doo, de doo, de doo ....

Maybe not so much on Monday either because it's Christmas Eve!! That's right I'm talking FOUR day weekend with presents!!!! Working on the Jeep, a little backyard work and the season of hope comes to a crescendo!!!! All the best to you from us hear at the Rumbear Chronicles......Let the Holidaze begin!

Doo de doo, de doo, de doo ....

"Get your island fix on the Internet with KPOA!"
Listen live to the island sounds from Maui!

Concerned.

I was over at Mr. Freemarket's place and spotted this....and they call me MISTER Sensitivity!

Marlboro or Virginia Slims?

Hmmmmm......

Perhaps something we can all support or at least enjoy trying?! I'm just asking.

I cant' make this stuff up. Well, I could, but it would not be as .....oh never mind.

See, I Told You So.....

Pretty smug eh?! Well, another nugget of truth has leaked out on GlowBall Warming and it ain't good for the true believers. The U. S. Senate report released today state, "Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007". Imagine that.

Yes it seems that the long touted "consensus" theory of GlowBall warming has some difficulty holding up under the olde microscope of truth.

The over 400 skeptical scientists featured in this new report outnumber by nearly eight times the number of scientists who participated in the 2007 UN IPCC Summary for Policymakers. The notion of "hundreds" or "thousands" of UN scientists agreeing to a scientific statement does not hold up to scrutiny.

We here at the Rumbear Chronicles are teachers, smug ones, yet teachers we be. As teachers we can only show the facts and encourage our dear readers to educate themselves through perusal and independent thought. As my olde pal Mikey use to say, "You can hold a horses head under water, but you can't make em drink".

Wisdom is yours. Choose to embrace it.

UPDATE: Denny get's it.

Gifts.

Why it was just yesterday that I was cruising around in one my large SUV's, stomping on the terra with a carbon footprint the size of, of..but, I digress... As I was driving, I spied a bumper sticker that said...."It's the thought that counts, not the gift... but couldn't people think a little bigger?". Thus, with a hearty chuckle, I acknowledged that the spirit of the season, be that as it may, twas upon us.

Today, I am reading various blogs (so you don't have to) and I dropped in on my favorite Lumberjack site. Reading this posting I could not help but reflect that perhaps the Lumberjack, much less the site, may not be long for this earth. Perhaps bigger would be better?

Nevertheless, a hearty Ho, Ho, Ho would seem to be in order!!

Oh Please......

He is known as the "hard man" of climate-change negotiation.

But after 12 exhausting days of trying to reach a worldwide agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it was suddenly all too much for Yvo de Boer.

As the 200-nation Bali conference wrangled over a minor procedural matter, the Dutch diplomat in charge of the talks burst into tears and had to be led away by colleagues.

Then he got on his jet and flew his Dutch rear end home and lived happily ever after.

Hard man, indeed........

Christmas Pun(s) !!!!!

The pun machine is fired up so while we're at it....

What do reindeer say before they tell a joke? This will sleigh you.

Ah! Christmas! The one day of the year we can all say our children are truly gifted!

Where does Frosty the Snowman keep his money? In a snow bank.

James Fenimore Cooper wrote about the life of Santa Claus. It is titled The Deer Sleigher.

How come you never hear anything about the tenth reindeer, Olive? Yeah, you know... Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names...

HAPPY HOLLYDAZE!!!

Monday's Pun(s) !!!

Back when the news was written on clay tablets there was a lot of breaking news.

When a cow gives birth she is de-calf-inated.

Teachers who take class attendance are absent-minded.

God, Bless em....

Every December for the past 15 years, Morrill Worcester, owner of one of the world's largest holiday wreath companies, has taken time in the midst of his busiest season to haul a truckload of wreaths to Arlington from his small Downeast Maine town of Harrington.

Worcester, 56, says he wants to help Americans remember and honor deceased military veterans, particularly at Christmas, when they're missed most. On the Wreaths Across America website, he makes this comment: "When people hear about what we're doing, they want to know if I'm a veteran. I'm not. But I make it my business never to forget."

On Thursday he looked at the crowd of volunteers — five times as many as last year's — and said, "I didn't realize there were this many people that felt like I do."

The signs on the side of the semi read “We make it our business to Never Forget.”

Never forget. Words to live by.

IOWA!

My name is Bill and I'm here to help.....

As my olde pal Hunter Thompson once said "It still isn't weird enough for me". Well, Hunter's gone and we have the Hillary campaign pulling out all the stops......Huckabee has hired Ed Rollins who states at his first press appearance, that the Huckabee job is "the only campaign I've been in with no doughnuts and no booze."

........stick around kids, things are heating up!

It's Aloha Friday...
...no work till Monday!!!

Doo de doo, de doo, de doo ....

Christmas shopping almost done. Little backyard work to do.......Let the weekend begin!

Doo de doo, de doo, de doo ....
