Harambe-shaped Cheeto sells for almost $100,000....<br /><br /><a href="http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/harambe-shaped-cheeto-sells-for-almost-dollar100000/ar-AAmHBSz?li=AA4Zjn&ocid=spartandhp" rel="nofollow">Harambe-shaped Cheeto sells for almost $100,000</a> <br /><br /><b>A Cheetos corn snack resembling Harambe the Gorilla just sold on eBay for $99,900.</b><br /><br /><i>Harambe the Gorilla was a 400-pound silverback fatally shot by a zookeeper after a human child entered his enclosure. His shooting went viral on the internet, creating several memes and attracting worldwide attention. Harambe was housed in the Cincinnati Zoo...</i><br /><br />Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter and gossip columnist Candy Kane caught up with the man who purchased the Cheetos snack outside of a casino in northern Idaho. He asked that his name not be released and we are abiding by his wishes. All he would say is that he works as a faux farmer and sometimes part time greeter at the local Walmarts. What follows is part of Candy's exclusive interview with the buyer.<br /><br />Candy: So Bob, what made you buy the Cheetos snack?<br /><br />Bob: I thought we weren't going to mention my name. I really...<br /><br />Candy: Don't worry, Bob. That part will be cut. So, about the Cheeto...<br /><br />Bob: Well, I was in the casino for free t-shirt night waiting for this elderly lady I know to head to the rest room so that I could grab her seat. Anyway, I'm sitting there and I overheard a couple of guys talking about this wild item coming up on eBay. So I walked over and asked him what was going on and he shows me his iPhone with the eBay screen. And this crazy Cheeto snack in the shape of Harambe pops up for sale. It was amazing. You couldn't miss the resemblance. <br /><br />So I'm watching and the bid starts out at $11. Pretty soon the price is going up like crazy, through the roof. So I scrambled to get my phone out but by the time I got my first bid in the bidding was past me. Now, I'm panicking. I really wanted that gorilla bad. Do I decide to jump ahead on the bidding to make sure I got in so I jumped in with a bid of $16.75. As soon as I got my bid in, the bidding jumped to $17.00. I went crazy. Everything was a blur. The next thing I know I had won. I've never known a feeling of such satisfaction and euphoria. I gave them all my info and was told I would be receiving the Cheeto by first class mail in 3-4 business days. It was then I realized I had bid $99,900.<br /><br />Candy: Well, how do you feel now, being the big winner and all.<br /><br />Bob: Well, I'll tell you Candy...you know...say, I just noticed, you are very attractive. You remind me of my niece. She's over in Germany right now working on her PHD at the Max Plank Institute of Brain Science and Phrenology. She's Indian, Indian Indian not American or as I understand they like to be called Native American Indian, and she says...<br /><br />Candy: But what about the Cheeto, Bob? What are you doing now?<br /><br />Bob: Well, when I realized I'd bid $99.900 the first thing I did was start going through my Lazy Boy and all the couches in our double-wide looking for spare change. Tried to sell an old Mustang convertible that I totaled a few years back but it never had a back window and the mice had got in it. Ol' Wayne was interested. So I've been looking at selling some property...<br /><br />Candy: Well, I'm being told we have to cut for commercial, Bob, best of luck...<br /><br />This is Candy Kane signing off. Back to you and the guys in the truck, Jesse...<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-29097014521519146102017-02-08T01:59:29.461-05:002017-02-08T01:59:29.461-05:00.
The Fly on the Wall
Gossip from the West Wing....<br /><br /><b>The Fly on the Wall</b><br /><br /><br /><i>Gossip from the West Wing...</i><br /><br /><br />Does Sean Spicer now have two strikes against him? Is the ump in the red tie even keeping score?<br /><br />Strike One: It appears Sean Spicer got the message once Trump's dress code was circulated among the White House staff. Sean no longer wears a suit that looks (and fits) like it came off the rack at Walmarts. His latest pressers see him dressed to the nines and wearing a Trump tie. Way to go Sean. Looking pretty dapper.<br /><br />Strike Two: Word has it Trump was really upset with last Saturday's SNL skits, especially the one where Melissa McCarthy satirized Seanny Boy. The skit was bad enough but the fact that SNL used a women to impersonate Spicer was enough to turn 'D' from orange to red. My sources tell me Melania slept in Barron's room to avoid the tornado circulating through the Mar a Lago estate. Better lay low Sean.<br /><br />Strike Three: ........<br /><br />Well you'll just have to wait. Come back tomorrow and see if Sean strikes out, is kicked out of the game, or hits a home run for The Donald.<br /><br /><br />Buzz...Buzz...

I just don’t.”<br /><br />Flake also argued in favor of a “more robust” guest-worker program, arguing that there was an economic demand for it. Cotton and Perdue argue that more low-skilled workers have a detrimental impact on the wages and job prospects of working-class Americans.<br /><br />“I mean, if you go to Arizona, try to get a house delivered on time, whether it’s roofers or masons or anything else,” Flake said. “There’s a huge shortage of labor.

Bobal: Powell ...<b><br />Kim </b> Sun Oct 19, 03:54:00 PM EDT<br /><br /><i><b>Bobal: Powell is a black racist, like the others.</b><br /><br />No. Powell is a 35 year veteran, wounded in Vietnam, who single-handedly rescued several men from a burning helicopter. <br /><br />He was chairman of the JCS during the Gulf War and author of the "Powell Doctrine" which minimizes friendly casualties by applying overwhelming force, rather than the do-more-with-less approach of the neocons. <br /><br />He was troubled by the "false intimations that Obama was Muslim." <br /><br />He stated that Obama has always been a Christian, and continued, "...what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer's no, that's not America." <br /><br />So Colin Powell is precisely the opposite of a racist, and he is troubled by the whisper campaign of his nominal party during the run up to this election.<br /></i><br /><br />The Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson put in his place by a woman, so just, so true, and ...<br />... so righteously done.Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1708750872618245012017-02-07T20:26:39.508-05:002017-02-07T20:26:39.508-05:00Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson is typing...Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson is typing, that means he is lying.<br /><br />The is no nine member <i> National Debate Judging Panel</i><br /><br />The "Draft Dodger" is committing a fraud upon the reader, once againJack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-2056028168962482972017-02-07T20:24:40.403-05:002017-02-07T20:24:40.403-05:00The only voter fraud documented at the Elephant Ba...The only voter fraud documented at the Elephant Bar occurred when Mrs Peterson voted in Ohio, in 2012.<br /><br />Mrs "Draft Dodger" was not a legal resident of Ohio, and committed fraud, there, when she voted.<br /><br />Those are the facts, as pertains to voter fraud, here at the EB.<br /><br />Not so funny that the voter fraud came from the same family that committed bank fraud.<br /><br />Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-91691338714000893792017-02-07T20:10:23.864-05:002017-02-07T20:10:23.864-05:00My Grandfather:
