THIS IS A TEST...THIS IS ONLY A TEST.
Had this been an actual "Cheers & Jeers", it would have been written by someone FAR WITTIER than I am.
Nevertheless, it bothers me that many "9 to 5" folks can't share in the fun of the hilariously funny, pithy, wacky, and often mood elevating "Group Therapy" known as CHEERS & JEERS, which appears here every weekday morning.
So, I'm writing this to gauge interest in starting up a weekend version of C&J.
Follow me, please....Watch your step!
Oh, and PLEASE RECOMMEND, so that ALL the "weekenders" get a chance to vote.
Q&A:
Q: Have I cleared this with BiPM?
A: No, not yet. Let's see if there's even any interest. If so, we'll run it up the flag pole and see if Bill "Salutes" it.
Q: ARE YOU CRAZY? That's a lot of work!
A: Probably (on BOTH counts), but that's never stopped me before.
Q: Isn't this plagiarism?
A: Who knows? Moot point if Bill approves. If he doesn't, I don't do it...Simple as that. Besides, I'll try to keep it somewhat unique. After all, Letterman & Leno are the "same", but very different at the same time...You get the idea.
Q: You're going to do this by YOURSELF???
A: In a word, NO. This will need to be a collaborative effort. I just don't have the time, energy or material to pull this off every weekend. I'll be looking for volunteers if this comes to fruition.
Q: I have a comment/suggestion/criticism, but I want to discuss it privately. Can I email you?
A: YUP! mlkisler[at]comcast[dot]net.
Q: You're just doing this 'cuz you're a MoJo whore, aren't you???
A: OK, you figured me out! <feigns blush>. I'm doing it because I'm a selfish bastard. <snark> C&J has greatly improved my frame of mind on many otherwise sucky days. But I work for a living, and often miss out on the fun. And if I "sneak in", I'm potentially risking my job. So, this is a possible alternative...For me, and many others, I suspect.
I consider it "Mental Health Prophylaxis"....Did I spell that write? <SNORT!>
Anyway, here's your chance to weigh in on the subject. BTW, if you're not familiar with "Cheers & Jeers", take a look at yesterday's madcap edition, to see what you've been missing out on.
Oh...We need an obligatory "Pootie Pic". I'll start with two...One happy, one sad...'Cuz after all it IS Cheers AND Jeers!
Happy Pic:
Notice the broken flower pot in the background. :o)
Sad Pic:
To remind us of all the homeless/displaced animals in NOLA (and now TX) who need our help...And LOVE. :o(
OK, Have it! Is this a good idea? Should I be ashamed of myself? Maybe crawl under a rock and die? Or is there a "Ticker Tape" Parade in my future? Speak now or forever hold your pieces!
Happy weekend!
Mike
