::mourning the loss of arthur conley ::

So sad really...



Who was Arthur Conley?

a legendary soul singer. remember "sweet soul music"? that's the man. he died a couple of days ago in the netherlands where he lived for decades. they say he left the states because he was heartbroken after his mentor Otis Redding died in a plane crash in 1967 or something.

surely you remember redding?

Redding who?

Redding, and riting and 'rithmatic!

otis "sitting on the dock of the bay" redding, of course

okay, here come an easy one: who is the rigtfully elected president of the united states?

That's a trick Question Pierce, there isn't one anymore.

I don't know Pierce, but could you try keeping the current President over there for a bit longer next time? We hardly had time to tee-pee the Whitehouse while he was gone

would you settle for "appointed" president?

you guessed right. it was a trick question

aint i a stinker?

as to keeping him here: thanks, but no thanks
rightfully elected or not, he is your responsibility

one of my forefarers was an undisputed american president, btw



















he was the only founder and sole owner of a small an insignificant dairy corporation in minnesota - but hey, american and undisputed president nevertheless

Oh my... I see the fonkeys are running around like crazy getting the place decorated for the holidays!

*grabs a glass of off of one of the trays as a flonkey flies by*



Ohhh! with a maraschino cherry in it! How festive!

ho ho ho!!!

PC and I are freshly back from the City. Talk about your bumpy in' flights.






Watch those cherries, Michele. The flonkeys were soaking 'em in ethanol all week.

maybe i'd better take michelles cherry, you think?

oh THAT ol thing got kicked to the curb ages ago...

*hands Pierce a jar of maraschino cherries*

Here dear! Go crazy!

thanks michelle, i will thoroughly enjoy them

i should have known you were the one woman with more than one

Keep a jar with me at all times, for occasions such as this

better safe than sorry, eh Michele?

I had hoped to be the rightfully (or even leftfully) elected President of the U.S., but somehow they forgot to hold a presidential election in 2003. None of the polls were open, so I couldn't even get in to vote for myself. I didn't even get a single vote!!!

Nor did anybody else. So, what's his name is still President. Maybe they'll remember to have an election 2004. They'd better!
