I complained and some people called me on it. The past few Sunday Stealing memes are clearly taken from MySpace.com or PopSugar.com or CollegeCandy.com. They said I should put my meme where my mouth was.

Our Live In Fear Doppler television station is doing their best to create severe weather news. Reports of “rope like” clouds that may or may not be “tornadic.” A wall cloud has been reported with “possible rotation” but “we are unable to confirm” that a tornado is in the sky. The weather dud “@callensky1″ or as he calls himself on air “Sky1″ is filling the airways with “ifs” and “possibles” and “could” and “might” and “reported” conditions. They efforted getting a life shot out the back door of the studio that may be to the west or the southeast.
It wasn’t even raining.
Here he is in action. This is for realz. This is our weather dud:
The National Weather Service just declared our county is under a Tornado Warning. To get some accurate and timely information I broke out the weather radio.
Which is dead.
I found the charger (see photo above.)
Right now it’s what I like to call a “thunderstorm.” Rain, lightening, wind. I’m not sure if that is the correct technical term, but I’m pretty sure it’s accurate. Maybe.
zzzbbbzzzzpffbbbbtzzzzzzt. Boom.
Ah, springtime in Southern Kentucky.
Stand by.

Next time, can we have a meme for adults over 40?
Legos are fun, but I never had any growing up.
My construction materials were Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, Playmate Building Blocks, and some other kind of building block that I can’t remember. Maybe other Boomers will remember. They were white blocks about 3/4 inch long with two squares on top for connecting.
Lincoln Logs were invented by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright and included instruction on how to build Lincoln’s Cabin.
Tinkertoys were invented after a stonemason saw kids being totally entertained by building things with pencils and spools of thread. LEGOs were invented by Ole Kirk Christiansen, a master carpenter who lived in Denmark. The word comes from the Danish words LEg and GOdt, which together means “play well.” They later discovered that in Latin, Lego means “I put together.”
Lego my Ergo.
Usually my construction project was a combination of Logs, Tinkers, and blocks because I wouldn’t put away my toys and pieces disappeared over time.
Unlike Wes, I didn’t bother to keep a list of all the toys I had. My toys were also from the ’50′s and had not reached the same sophistication as the Whammo Astro-Ray Gun.
But the world is now Lego nuts. Everywhere I turn I see Lego!
Forget the giant Lego buildings, I presume you have seen them everywhere too. And Lego people are everywhere including Lego people involved in adult adventures.
Lego replicas of every icon have been constructed: Star Cruiser, Batmobile, Death Star, Indiana Jones, full size Ferrari Formula 1 car, and on and on and on.
But have you seen or heard about…
Lego business cards? very cute.
Lego difference calculator? … a difference engine is able to solve mathematical problems (2nd/3rd-order polynomials) and calculate the answers to 3 or 4 digits.
BTW: these machines all are functional! This is nuts! The coolest thing I ever made were ramps to shove plastic model cars over to crash into the invading army of toy soldiers. Having pieces fly all over the place was part of the fun. How much fun would it be to turn on a Lego Air Conditioner, sit down at the Lego Difference Calculator to work out a pattern for the Lego Knitting Machine?
The world has gone Lego Nutso.
Here’s another nutso idea: selling toy forts made out of cardboard boxes for $50.
I’m just mad because I didn’t think of it. Or Legos.
Lego my Ergo.
Hee. Love that.
