    I bow down before thee and give thee great honoriferous glory and magnificent praises. There is none like the walking about the planet, for none other may lay claim to the ten thousandth Skippy Threader. Champaign all around!

    One word of caution. After a lifetime achievement like this one can rapidly slip from glory to depression. Remember Buzz Aldren? After being the first man to walk the moon, what are you going to shoot for the rest of your life?

    “For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”
    - Gen. George C. Patton

    In other words…Get over it!! Congrats!

    Nasty comments from Huff Post bloggers on the BUYcott:
    I say let’s challenge them to a rumble! heh

    I’d love for the only people to shop at Whole Foods to be teabaggers and birthers. Of course, Mackey would have to rename it AssWhole Foods

    _______________________________

    Does Whole Foods sell organic Velveeta?

    ________________________________

    What a waste. They swarm the store for five hours and buy all they can–and then what will they do? They can’t eat the stuff. They can only eat fast food and processed foods. Doubtless not a one of them knows how to compost. They certainly won’t give to food banks. So off it will all go to the dump
    _______________________________________

    Wait till the teabaggers see the $3.99 a lb grapes or the 6.95 a lb ground beef. They wil make one trip to the store and that will be it. Let Whole foods try and make up the loss of the progressives who shopped there with teabaggers who will run away so fast once they see the prices. Mackey made this whole mess and deserves.
    ________________________________________

    Whole foods should be afraid, they should VERY afraid.

    If the teabaggers glob onto the wholefoods image next come the birthers, then the death panelists and then come the terr0rists and then we have a repub whole foods which will go down with this minority party………..

    so Whole Foods better think twice before you embrace this whacko mindset……..
    ________________________________

    Then they will learn the true cost of foods on the other side of the tracks and run back to Walmart where they can get cheap and unhealthy foods. I say, go ahead make Mackey happy!
    ___________________________________
    Most of the baggers, people who more than likely have never set foot in a Whole Foods Store, will find their jaws dropping to the floor when they encounter Whole Foods prices. Heh, heh.

    Hello all. I had struggled with whether or not I was going to post on here again. After all, it kind of ruins the “Sopranos”-like intrigue of my last post. but I have found that, just like Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain (the gay cowboy movie for those of you that didn’t watch) “I wish I knew how to quit you.”

    Anyway, I believe I have instigated a new (real) flame war. It is still in its nascent phase, but I am hoping it will turn out to be a real barn burner. But this does mean that my fake flame war with Kingfish will have to be put on hold. If I have learned one thing from Napoleon, Hitler and George Bush it is that one cannot effectively fight a war on two fronts.

    Look, Chaps!

    Here’s a yuppie word you can toss about at the Farmers’ Market.

    See if you can make a sentence using intaglia and arugula.

    Intaglio (pronounced /ɪnˈtælioʊ/ in-TAL-ee-oh) is a family of printmaking techniques in which the image is incised into a surface, known as the matrix or plate. Normally, copper or zinc plates are used as a surface, and the incisions are created by etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint or mezzotint. Collographs may also be printed as intaglio plates. To print an intaglio plate, ink is applied to the surface and then rubbed with tarlatan cloth to remove most of the excess. The final smooth wipe is often done with newspaper or old public phone book pages, leaving ink only in the incisions. A damp piece of paper is placed on top and the plate and paper are run through a printing press that, through pressure, transfers the ink from the recesses of the plate to the paper.
