"Oh wait....long weekend. Okay you get a hall pass." But a sh*tload of grading in my schoolbag. Thank goodness for helpful, caring spouses - right, Chris?

Bernie Guisto - a non-Clinton Beethoven - only deaf musician Wal-Mart - 100% non-union retailer The Simpsons - only non-NBC show CBS - the only "System" Oregon - Only early land use planning state. Malt-O-Meal - only brand name. Tomorrow - the only day without a history Titanic - Only director to say "I am king of the world" on national tv Ringo - the only known Beatle that can't do a drum roll. The Tooth Fairy - only female Major League Baseball - only sport without a clock. Music - needs a staff. College - no bullies in halls Automobiles - Under $100,000 to buy. Noon - only specific time of day Garlic - the only edible stink. Rumors - only trailer park way of thinking Al Gore - Appears in Futurama George W. Bush see "rumors" Starbucks Coffee - wouldn't mind seeing nude Lightning Strikes - best odds Jazz - liked by more musicians than non-musicans Science - the wrath of ultra conservatives Ghosts - can't use an atm machine Screaming babies - only thing that need boobies Idiots - only group that a member ever got elected president from. Superman Comic books - only periodical with a Lois Lane spread. April Fool’s Day - the only day of the year I quit my job.

Hillary Clinton Bernie Guisto wore a badge in the school play. Bill Clinton Beethoven wrote his own material. Barbara Streisand Mick Jagger Fred Meyer Safeway was founded with investments by a church. Wal-Mart Law and Order The Simpsons are funny. Saturday Night Live NBC CBS ABC had Mork & Mindy. Oregon once included Washington, Idaho and parts of other states and provinces. Washington Idaho Peanut Butter does not require boiling water to prepare it. Spaghetti Malt-O-Meal Yesterday is not a work in progress. Today Tomorrow The Day The Earth Stood Still will never put an annoying song in your head. Titanic West Side Story Paul George John Ringo did not have to light a condom on fire to see around his dressing room in Germany. Santa Claus The Tooth Fairy does not wear boots. John Wayne NBA Basketball is never played outdoors. NFL Football Major League Baseball Books cannot be enjoyed in the dark. Movies Music Grade School had recess. High School College Trains Planes cannot fly with a steam engine. Automobiles Morning Noon only lasts a minute. Night Garlic can be shared in a kiss without utterly ruining the moment. Old Socks Wet Dog Intuition is a secret. Facts Rumors Bozo the Clown Jay Leno Al Gore is smart. Jerry Springer Oprah Winfrey earned her money. George W. Bush Eggs Over Easy Scrambled Eggs can be cooked in a pitching galley on a ship. Hard Boiled Eggs Starbucks Coffee Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Your Mom's Kitchen only involves one overworked and under-appreciated person. Powerball Oregon Megabucks Lightning Strikes don't make you distrust everyone when they happen to you. Rock-n-Roll Jazz musicians read music. Hip-Hop Math Literature is not always an integral part of weapons development. Science Zombies are a classic pop band from Britain. Politicians Ghosts Screaming babies Screaming toddlers Nails on a chalkboard never elicit hugs as a reaction. Bums won the World Series and moved to Los Angeles. Jerks Idiots Time Magazine Newsweek Magazine Superman Comic books were full of truth, justice and the American way. New Year's Day Labor Day April Fool's Day is not known for a universal hangover. Bonus quote mashup: Thank goodness for helpful, caring spouses... Grown men need boobies too.
