"Worrying about how to live makes me want to die. I want to be a tree."

--aw, thanks, BD --making the QQQ list, well, those are the western cannons, aren't they. 'Cannon' a play on 'canon', in the spirit of swedishing a danewegian name is a play on, oh, about a hundred lustrums of negative cultural evolution

--Garry, they're sending a framed copy of a local municipal emergency order: "Until further notice from commandant of Acme Remedial Spelling Strike Team officials, the following will be administratively merged on Emergency Civil Defense protocols: Dr's office, Pharmacy, 911 Services, Hospital Emergency Room, Funeral Home, and Cemetery. The mayor thanks you for your copper ration."

I'd rather be dying than dead.
I'd rather be lying than led.
Do-wop. Do-wop.

— Ludwig van Mozart, 1790

PRJ is allowing as how Moe's art (with symphonic support from Larry, Curly, and that stand-in feller) was as good as Mozart any day, and, if you find yourself deaf, infinitely better even.

I wood ax Buddy if he has any more cutting remarks for our enjoyment. Given Buddy's family tree, one should not be surprised at what he says. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, so they say.

Buddy's wit runs rings around the competition.
Unfortunately, it takes many years to realize this.

Should we listen to a Moe's-art minuet in Tree-Fore time?

--so, at the big dance that night, the one-eyed feller with the prosthetic eye sidles up to the lonesome little wallflower, and asks her if she'd like to dance. She answers, "Wouldn't I, wouldn't I?" which he hears as "Wooden Eye, Wooden Eye?" --and so shouts back at her, "Oh yeah? Big Nose, Big Nose!"

--next day, his pal asked him where she, the big nose girl, was from. One-eye guy sez, "Hmm, can't recall, it was a city way on up the east coast."

"Bangor Maine?" his pal suggested.

"Oh heck no," replied he, "i didn't even Squeezer Secondaries."
