Remember the A-ha song, Take on Me, with lyrics that went
"Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway"
That's me today. I have nothing to say, and yet I have this irrepressible urge to say it anyway.

Those are very funny, Lucy. That is the name I call you, right? Oy veh (I like the oysters reference)
And being kind of a raunchy old bag, I'd say my first favorite would be "willy-nilly" -- dealt with a few of them now and then, fer shur. And Frizbeetarianism is just the cutest darn thing, too.
Hey, Young Lady, thank you for stopping in at my little blogpage today....appreciate it. Then, of course, I am always curious as to how you found me out of the billions of bloggers floating around these days...Good job! Hah.
When you have some time, you might like my original website, The Mousetrap. (there's a banner called Home Sweet Home in my sidebar on the blogpage)
I'm kind of dedicating the splash page to Smurfy McStupid, so-called preznut. Anyway, I like how you think. I will be back. That's not a promise, that's a threat. haha
I'm amazed how we all find each other. When I use the "next blog" button I usually get blogs that are really ads for insurance or cars.
Quite comic, Pez. I see two references to proctologist. Well, I guess somebody has to bring up the rear.

I have had that nothing to say/gotta say something feeling! You said funny stuff! I usually just blather!
The Devil sends his blessings
