Think about it: Winky Dink



I hate to pop that childhood illusion that millions of baby boomers fell for: but Winky Dink never really needed your help. 

It was a scam.

You were played, Dork.

Winky Dink always made it from one side of the screen to the other.  You didn't have to draw a bridge.

How?

Winky Dink was a Warlock and floated across the screen. Drunken Warlock.  Look at that red nose.

So what happens to all that rage? 

Trump wins the White House.  That's what.

Every God damned Trumpster loving dickwad that voted for the President did so because they fell for the Winky Dink Scam.

And in the back of their minds, Winky Dink could never have made it across the TV screen.  Winky Dink only made it across because these idiots were there for Winky Dink.

Then the world turned on them and shattered the myth.

And the outcome?  Trump.

Think about it.

      Thank you, Anne Marie. Arrrgghhh! I was only one when that went off the air in 1957 and I was a teen when it was syndicated ( I googled) so it was never in my orbit. I missed out on the alien possession, yay!

      You were robbed Bob. And at the same time spard of the tedium. Besides, you are not that old.

Christmas memories of some unknown peoples.

 With Christmas upon us, let us rejoice for good news has come to all mankind!  Other peoples photos remind us that there is not right, or wrong way to observe the holidays.  That holiday was when J. Edgar Hoover dropped in at the Tolson's for reflection, and maybe a cup of Christmas cheer.  Remember that holiday when the patio umbrella went missing and when your mom went next do to the Livermore's house to ask if they had seen it, but the Livermore's just kept mum about the patio umbrella, that had yellow fringe just like the Livermore's artificial tree had that year. Cousin Calliope never drank, except the egg nog on Christmas Eve, and sing songs around the Christmas tree? Remember that year when it had more Nog than other years, and Calliope was the Christmas tree?   Neither does Calliope. Those tortured Christmas Eve's with Uncle Buster and Aunt Billie. He smelled like Winston cigarettes and she smelled like Jim Beam.  Those Christmas' with your ex...
