Kev's Klip of the Week

My daughter told me about this YouTube video and I just had to make it my "Klip of the Week."

Since I am a Baptist, I know nothing about dancing (that's my story and I'm sticking to it), but I have to believe the judges on "So You Think You Can Dance" would give this cavorting canine (boy, I sure do miss my golden retriever, Shadow) very high marks.

"Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing."

- Psalm 30:11a

Please Mr. Postman

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from completion of their appointed rounds"

These are the words inscribed on the front of the New York Post Office .. it opened on September 7 in 1914 .. which many believe to be the motto of the United States Postal Service.

It is not.

The USPS has no official motto or creed, so I guess they don't have to be held accountable to anyone .. after all, they are a part of the US government and that is standard operational procedure.

Actually, I think they do a pretty good job and I have no complaints, whatsoever (I'm trying to only say nice things .. don't you read the papers? .. those employees are ticking time-bombs just waiting to explode .. they call it going postal for a reason, you know).

So ... today let's try to keep it as light as possible with two jokes (the only two clean jokes I could find on the subject, I might add) and a country and western song title.

First, the jokes:

A woman went to the Post Office to buy stamps for her Christmas Cards. "What denomination?" asked the clerk. "Oh, good heavens! Have we come to this?" said the woman. "Well, give me 30 Catholic, 10 Baptist ones, 20 Lutheran, and 40 Presbyterian."

A guy stormed into the postmaster's office in a fury. "I've been getting threatening letters in the mail for months and I want them stopped." "Of course," said the postmaster. "Sending threatening letters through the mail is a federal offense. Do you know who' sending them?" "Yes," shouted the man. "It's those idiots down at the Internal Revenue Service."

(Don't get me started on the IRS. Even a 'nice guy' like me can get worked up over the Infernal Revenue Service).

Now, the song:

When they operated on papa, they opened mother's male.

Happy "Neither Rain Nor Snow" Day!

"Woe to us! Who will deliver .." - I Samuel 4:8a

RevKev's Day Off

"Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest." - Exodus 34:21a

Silly Song Saturday

"Many times did he deliver .." - Psalm 106:43a

Let's Get (a) Physical

This morning at 10 o'clock I am having my annual physical .. what a pain in rear (which, by the way, is actually part of the exam).

I know this is something that only happens once a year .. like Christmas .. but for some reason I don't quite get as excited about being punctured, probed and prodded as I do when I receive a present (granted, the doctor does usually say, "Bend over, I have something for you" .. but it's just not the same).

My biggest problem with the whole thing is not being able to have anything to eat or drink after midnight.

I get up every morning at 5:30 and immediately go to the kitchen for a cup of coffee (okay, perhaps I make one stop first .. but it is en route) from my Tassimo Single-Serve Hot Beverage Maker.

That didn't happen today and no one should be subjected to me before I've had my morning coffee (let's just say I don't look a lot like Jesus before I've been adequately caffeinated).

I don't even like me before I've had my cup of Starbucks House Blend Mélange Maison .. ummmm.

Unfortunately, I will be going to the church at 8:30 and working until time for my appointment, so .. even though I plan to head straight to my office and close/lock the door .. there is the possibility of human contact from the time I leave my car to the time I get to my "cave."

If you are anywhere near the vicinity of 3400 Mitchell Street at that time, may I suggest you "steer clear."

We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

"And the mean man shall be brought down .."

- Isaiah 5:15a

Kev's Klip of the Week

Last night I sang in a barbershop quartet at the Humboldt Music Club meeting (I might add .. it was a crowd pleaser!) and that performance was the inspiration for today's post.

"Ted's band" (The Worthless Peons from the television series, Scrubs) is actually a real group called The Blanks and they are stinkin' good (a musical term for .. stinkin' good).

This audio only Klip of the Week is the theme song from one of my favorite childhood cartoons.

Enjoy!

" .. for a living dog is better than a dead lion."

- Ecclesiastes 9:4b
