Stop the WordPress! Trigger and Nellybelle Will Be Sold

Here is your Boomer OMG moment for the day, maybe the week because it’s only Tuesday.

Trigger, Nellybelle, Buttermilk and Bullet are going on the auction block.

“While it is true that the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum (Branson, MO) has closed, much to disappointment of not only the Rogers family but of all his millions of fans, the dispersal of these artifacts will spread the joy, memories and cowboy heritage from inside its walls out into the hearts and homes of people all over the world.”

said Linda Kohn Sherwood, co-owner of High Noon Western Americana who is running the auction.

Called it: Abby Sunderland’s Family Wants U.S. to Pay for Rescue: Reality Show in Works

Abby Sunderland’s family got a bill from the Australians for $300,000 to rescue her.

Mommy Sunderland says they won’t pay because they are not rich.

But she sure would like you and I to pay the Australians.

“The full cost of chartering an Airbus would be so high, you’d think they (Australian rescue authorities) would have to work with the US government for that,” she tells a newspaper.

The practically destitute Sunderlands have forgotten about the deal they signed months ago for a reality Tee Vee deal.

Adventures in Sunderland will feature daddy Laurence, mommy Maryanne, and their seven wild and crazy kids.

The large family has long been a curiosity in the community, neighbors said. All seven children are home-schooled.

“They rarely leave their house, and they rarely talk to neighbors,”

local resident Brian Gonzales said.

Abby will be home soon to start her new adventure tour of all the talkers, and then will set out around the world again in her tiny boat.

I truly wish this was a joke.
It isn’t.

No Smoking Except for Special Events

Sign in Smallburg recently spotted:

More than one sign like this is posted around a public park in the center of town.

Only in Kentucky would the powers that be decide that when the park is most crowded, should smoking be allowed.

If I decide to take a seegar and sit on the bench this Sunday morning and watch the flocks going to church, I apparently would be in violation of some city ordinance.

This is exactly the kind of crap that brings out the anti-establishment genes.

My special event shall be Sunday Morning Seegar Session.

Dopes.

Even Facebook Says I’m Annoying

I have two Facebook accounts – one personal and one “business.” I’m picky on who I let see the personal Facebook, limiting it to mostly family and some non-family that I allowed in early on and now can’t get rid of for fear of pissing them off.

I heard it was good to have lots of friends on Facebook if you want to be taken seriously as a blogger.

On the “business” Facebook account, I’ll friend everybody. I’m am a mass friender.
Until today.
Today, Facebook said I was annoying.

In case you haven’t become a serial-friender, the SOP for Facebook is to let you invite a few people to be your friends, then eventually Facebook thinks you are a robot and wants you do fill out the ever-so-irritating CAPTCHA.

I noticed that the CAPTCHA is getting kind of witty with their word combinations. Never missing the opportunity to enlighten you on the odd, my intent was to grab six or eight of these and show you.

Usable Still

Routine Swaying

Upturned Procedure

Betided Could

Maybe my mistake was not filling in the CAPTCHA to add these people as my friends.

Maybe my mistake was trying to friend young girls. I intended to friend some guys, I really did, but Facebook stopped me today and said I was annoying and to go away for a few hours or a few days.

No prob. But I’ll be back because Clever CAPTCHA captivated me. And we’ll see if the guys have clever CAPTCHA junk.
