Pinky's Tailing Box: Special Valentine's Day Edition Somewhere in America's Heartland... $ My precious, you've never looked more dazzling to me than as you do at this moment. You just sparkle. And I don't mind at all having gained over the years a few extra pounds of you to hold. Many of my friends wish they had you because of your beauty, brilliance, and potential, but I would never give you up... ¢ Honey, it's Valentine's Day--what a special time for you to say these things to me... $ Er, dear, I was talking to my silver collection. %%% Gold at the heart of famous quotations... With all thy faults, I love thee still. --Cowper I did but see her passing by, And yet I love her till I die. --Googe Here are some famous lines from Thomas Middleton. I dropped the first word from each line--"Love"--and added in its place a word that gives the poem more meaning for investors... Gold is all in fire, and yet is ever freezing; Gold is much in winning, yet is more in leasing; Gold is ever sick, and yet is never dying; Gold is ever true, and yet is ever lying; Gold does doat in liking, and is mad in loathing; Gold is indeed anything, yet indeed is nothing. (Here's another...from Herbert Shipman) Across the gateway of my heart I Wrote "No Thoroughfare," But gold came laughing by, and cried: "I enter everywhere." %%% Fantasy Island... Boss! It's the plane! It's the plane! Let us join our guests, Tattoo. @ Why are these people here boss? Notice the blond woman holding the glass of lemonade--her fantasy is to meet the man of her dreams who will fall madly in love with her and take her home a bride. What about the man in the pinstripe suit? His fantasy is to find one of the world's rarest orchids to present on St. Valentine's Day to his wife, a renowned collector. Boss there is one more man there... I'm afraid we'll be sending him home unfulfilled. You mean we can't help him with his fantasy, Boss? It is impossible. But why? His fantasy is to make more money in gold than in the Dow and S&P. What does he think--that we are miracle workers or something? %%% Welcome once again to Parenting World. We're interviewing today one of the latest stars of TV. Mr. Teletubby, I'm going to open in a very direct manner here. Are you gay? TT: Yes, I'm always happy. I mean, are you "that way"? TT: No, I'm here. Er, are you attracted to members of the same sex? TT: I'm not familiar with that rock group. I should have said homosexual... TT: No, I don't have a home in the Ozarks; how about you'all? Let me put it this way--are any Teletubbies lesbian? TT: If more Teletubbies are out than in, then you're right--less be in than out. I'M TALKING ABOUT FALWELL'S COMMENTS YOU DOLT! AND BY THE WAY, I'LL NEVER LET MY KIDS WATCH ANYTHING AS STUPID AS YOU AGAIN! TT: Did anyone ever tell you you look beautiful when you're angry? %%% Okay everyone--it's time for our theme song. Sing along children... "I loved gold, Gold shoved me, Nearly into Bankruptcy, With a great goldbug And a kiss good-bye; we're screwed, Avoiding metals sure was shrewd." %%% NEWS FLASH... Historians discover likely reference to Barney and Telletubies in Nostradamus verse: "Near the harbour and in two cities will be two scourges which have never been seen." $$$ HAPPY ST. VALENTINE's DAY! =)
