ON MY SOAPBOX…Life needs a rewind button
WRITTEN BY: SHEILA TOLLEY
Heavens to Murgatroyd….was an expression popularized by the cartoon character Snagglepuss, a regular on the Yogi Bear Show in the 1960s. Murgatroyd! Do you remember that word?
Tell a youngster that in your youth, you drove a Jalopy. They will be totally confused and ask, “What is a Jalopy?”
Well, I hope you are Hunky Dory after you read this and get a Chuckle from it.
Some old expressions have become obsolete because of the unstoppable invasion of technology. These phrases included: A kodak moment, Don’t touch that dial, Carbon copy, You sound like a broken record, and Hung out to dry.
Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We’d put on our best bib and tucker, to straighten up and fly right.
Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumping Jehoshaphat! Holy Moley!
We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley; behind our backs we may have been called a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill. But not to our face….Not for all the tea in China!
Remember when life was SWELL? When is the last time anything was swell? Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and pedal pushers.
Kilroy was here…..but he isn’t anymore.
We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, “Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!” We discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed as common as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues, pens and keyboards.
Poof, go the words of our youth, the words we’ve left behind. We blink, and they’re gone. Where have all those great phrases gone?
Long gone: Pshaw, The milkman did it. Hey! It’s your nickel. Don’t forget to pull the chain. Knee high to a grasshopper. Well, Fiddlesticks! Going like sixty. Okidoki, I’ll see you in the funny papers. Don’t take any wooden nickels. Wake up and smell the roses.
It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has liver pills. This can be disturbing stuff! (Carter’s Little Liver Pills are gone too!)
Leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone booth.
See ya later, alligator!
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE FABULOUS PAST. NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN. WE WERE GIVEN A PRECIOUS GIFT: BEING BLESSED TO LIVE IN AMERICA WHEN ALL AMERICANS LOVED OUR COUNTRY. THANKS TO THE DEDICATION AND MORALS HANDED DOWN TO US BY THE “GREATEST GENERATION!”

“Commie Joe should move to Afghanistan and “toss his hat in the ring” to run for president. Afghanistan has two vice presidents, he could take Piglosi and AOC. What a THREESOME!”

Prediction
“Oh my …the dems have placed us in a terrible Stolen Election predicament, haven’t they? We either remain stuck with the garbled, stuttering of Chatty Cathy with the tangled pull string or we end up with Cackling Kamala. Our choice is like picking the tallest dwarf from a Communist Circus.”

Moving out of Bagram was stupid, is stupid, and will be stupid forever. Any JCS members who agreed to the handover should be tried for dereliction of duty. If any disagreed they should have resigned, and maybe saved Afghanistan.

After the pupa stage they appear to turn into disguised deer hunters or 1950’s humans looking for a television signal. Either way be cautious and call a democrat to come catch them. This could be as serious as the woman turning into a duck in last week’s Sphinx.

The Everything Editor: Don’t you have any good news, LL ?
Democrat Cat Day: I’m giving news that the Democrat voters and Congress wanted according to the 2020 election. The first are inflation and lack of product. If you can get it, it cost 6 % more. People won’t fill jobs when Biden and Pigleosi keep giving them more than they can earn at work by drawing unemployment.
