He ain’t heavy

I just celebrated twenty-five years of public service as a DOL official. The Labor Day holiday is therefore a big deal to me—mostly because it’s a day off.
That’s me on my knees, and that’s Joe Q. Public on my back.
I’m going to grill out today, as is every other red-blooded American. If you don’t have an outdoor barbecue on Labor Day, then you likely celebrate the working man on the first day of May.
Americans honor the working man on the first Monday in September, and they grill out.
I’ll have to get gas.

It’s my birthday, too. Some noteworthy things what came to pass on the Onth of September:
1923 - Tokyo destroyed by earthquake
1939 - WWII starts in earnest
1969 - Qaddafi overthrows the king of Libya.
1983- KAL 007 was shot down by the Russkies
2004 - Chechen/al Qaida terrorists took over 1000 hostages on the first day of school in Beslan Russia Commandos storm the school on the 3rd, over 300 left dead, mostly children.
Today - Hurricane Gustave comes into New Orleans. Republicans panick and all but cancel their convention.
7:30 pm - same day - Mrs. Scherzo fixes a whiz bang dinner consisting of poached salmon, lemon butter dill potatoes, asparagus with Bearnaise sauce and an orange cake with a cream center and Chocolate ganache icing. While turning 47, only 12 candles will be blown out, because that is all that there were in the package.
In other news, Mrs. Scherzo is clearly too drunk to type, and that explains all the unnecessary typos. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
LOL, Scherzo. Happy b’day.
Dinner sounds great, but you’re supposed to GRILL OUT.
Right now I’m doing blue cheese burgers.
I’m an American.
Only forty-seven. Wow. I can barely remember.
figures. a government shirt. W’s butboy. i should a known. fyi i had veggy wraps today. guess i’ma commy then. do you know what yur doin to yur colon with that stuff???
btw retard its JOHN Q Punlic not Joe Q Public. you were prolly thinkin of me.
A. Veragej. Oe: Well, that explains everything. Veggie wraps. I guess that’s okay, but it sounds like angry food. John Q PUNLIC…..yeargh. I will try not thinking of you. But you are making it so very very hard not to think of you.
As for being an American Haid. I have no adequate comeback but to say, “We’re ALL infidels, now!” So here’s the Irksome Middle Child report: Unit 3 calls home…..long after dinner is over….and wishes to invite stoner boyfriend..Yeah, like that would ever happen….and I said, “Dinner is done and put away.”
What was her response?! ” But he LIKES your cooking, mom.” Now, I ask her: When has he sampled my cooking?! Click. Sigh. At least she came home for cake and ice cream and to sign my card….
I’m sure he DOES like your cooking, Scherzo, just as I’m pretty sure I like it, and I haven’t tried it either! Just reading about it and seeing the pics has me convinced. Of course, Stoner probably can’t read, but he may have seen the photos.
I guess you’re entitled to cook anything you want on your birthday. Whenever Labor Day doesn’t fall on the first I’m sure you grill out. Right? You may consider therefore that this year you have a papal dispensation, issued by yours truly, just as we Catholics sometimes get a dispensation from the meat abstinence requirement when St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday in Lent.
It’s always helpful to know influential people.
Joe–No I’m not W’s butt boy. I don’t work for the USDOL, but for a state DOL.
As for veggie wraps, you’re right for a change. I should probably eat that way more often.
And yes, I’m pretty certain you’re a commie, regardless of your diet.
Regards,
HAID
Stonerboy was sneeked in by stoner unit 3. She fessed up.
LOL. So he KNOWS the food is good. Lucky bastard.
