Pure genius. Thank you from Minnesota.

Must be read while playing the song Ashokan Farewell (Ken Burns' Civil War) and hearing Peter Coyote's voice in your head. IYKYK. Higgins will need therapy the rest of his life.

Maybe we should just ask @petercoyote1 if he'll do it.

Okay. Well. Maybe I did it wrong. But it was still really entertaining! 😂

Dear ex husband,

I'm off with my future ex husband because you are tedious and lack imagination. You show no enterprise. I'm bored. I don't need a husband who writes to me about dildos. You figure it out.

Martha Elizabeth.

Is Martha in trouble?

Chris Resists's avatar

Save her from the horror, Rook. Save her from the horror.

According to Superman, yes

Oh I can hear the laughter at the writers' table. Each scribbler raising his/her hand to add another delicious line. Push over a chair and make room for this old lady who treasurers your satire and point of view. As your gang has discovered, ridicule is the more potent weapon when dealing with an idiot like Trump. So discombobulated, his every word if fodder for teasing. i imagine that the moment a phrase leaves his lips, your gang is in line at the pencil sharpner. All must be written down. Handwriting is more satisfying than typing. More soleful.

"...hanging nobly from the fence by the grace of its own anatomy...." lol. Every word is perfection! I agree that it deserves a dramatic reading.

So, so brilliant. Thank heavens it was George who came over them and not Martha herself.

Best read out loud to someone grasping for a touch of humor in this miasma that is politics.

Well done. Martha must be gathering the church ladies now.

Janet Hawk's avatar

Did this really happen? If so, were they mocking the man with a very small dildo🤪

Sandra Nicht's avatar

yes it did, I saw pics of the dildos hanging on the fence and there is video as well...

I declare THIS to be the official theme song of the Great Dildo Deployment:

Alice's Restaurant: https://youtu.be/WaKIX6oaSLs?si=owf7e8f2n4SszlEG

I play this every Thanksgiving to the horror of my family....

Same! It’s tradition!

Sandra Nicht's avatar

glad I'm not the only nut job! lol

BTW if you ever want to spend time at a wonderful retreat center, Kripalu is in Stockbridge up the mountain from the original Alice's Restaurant (and Tanglewood is also nearby).

Ann Haggard's avatar

Take heart in knowing we’re out here listening, too 😀

Sandra Nicht's avatar

one person = crazy

two people = gay

more = a movement!

Ann Haggard's avatar

It’s played every Thanksgiving at noon and 6:00pm on a station here in the Denver area. Been doing it for decades. It’s a beloved tradition!

Sandra Nicht's avatar

in my family I'd get eyerolls but they'd allow me my ritual. now I must do it alone at home; mom is gone and I haven't been able to afford traveling to my brother's place in another state for a couple of years now.

I would love to see a traveling memorial dildo wall that people all across America could add their own message to. Ah, the artistry of design, the inspirational messages... maybe even a design contest in cities. Of course this might be disturbing to our children. Maybe they need their own "Hands Off" wall. We are after being barraged with tRumps redesigning of the White House and what should be the numerous, illegal changes to buildings across DC, spending taxpayer dollars, all in the name of deflection of the Epstein Files. Time for him and his ilk to stop deflecting and to start reflecting on all this waste.

Lol, I can only imagine the stories some of them will tell their grandkids.

Although this is satire, I can imagine that some of our National Guardsmen actually feel this way, and are certainly not proud of their current assignment.
