Badtux the Snarky Penguin

In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

My prediction for the U.S. economy in 2007

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Hmm, I see you're touting housing as a good market.

Bring it on, a bad economy has always been good for me.

What! :O

We're getting our bathrooms upgraded. Sweet!

Can I request the olive colored toilet seat, pink isn't really my color.

That's a nice one! Where is it located? (My da does a slideshow lecture on the Passing of the Outhouse, and I'm sending him the link for the pics).

And I agree with you about the economy. My grocery bill has doubled in the past year, without adding anyone to the family.

I'm not going to tell you where the outhouse is, Georg, just that I spent last week on very isolated Jeep trails around the Death Valley area, and this outhouse is somewhere out there. The fun thing is that it is obviously a) still in use, and b) full of shit, and c) has no door, so everybody can see it's full of shit, but as you can tell from the fresh roll of toilet paper, that doesn't seem to matter to most folks. All in all, when I was going through my pics last night, it seemed quite emblematic of the American economy.

the ol' outhouse, looks the same
as i sneak off the frieght train
an' there to meet me is my momma
with the sherrif
down the lane i look
and there comes bessie
real good cow
kinda messy

that's why we got such green, green grass at home

the ol' outhouse is still standing
though the paint has chipped and flaked
and there's that old familiar path
i used to run

down the path, i'd run
i'd sometimes make it
other times i'd have to fake it

that's why we got such
green, green grass
at home

all in all, an apt image.

The open door guarantees fresh air- and certainly ought to cut down on the smell. And while you are sitting and thinking, you don't have anything interfering with the view.

Thanks, Badtux.

Hmm...
1,000 words = 1 kb.
1 *.jpeg = ? mb.

Other than that, the post is apt.
