    George,

    Apparently as a baby, I couldn't get enough of peas!

    There is a meme in the shape of all the continents and land masses of Earth...and it notes "Strive For Whirled Peas". <G>

    Even garden peas! Found out recently I'm not too fond of the English ones, even raw! (more or less like Lima Beans in a pod made of wool)

    I prefer "English Peas"...although I doubt they came from the UK. <G>

    Asparagus doesn't cut the muster, though -- don't like it in any form, even raw.

    I likely posted this in another echo or message. The guy was growing this stuff in a greenhouse, with wires in it, so it could grow. He'd always check
    it at sunrise...so "This is the dawning of the cage of asparagus". <G>

    George,

    I asked, loong ago, in here, "Anyone got the recipe for this "Whirled Peas" Xmas dish I keep hearing about?"

    Better than a Trees Pee-Tee....that's what the dogs have. <G>

    If Prince Charles is in the kitchen & you hear a "zzzzip," just say
    "no"

    The tabloids and the soap opera folks are having a field day.

    I love that soundtrack -- have had it on LP for many years now. .

    It was from the musical "Hair", with "Good Morning, Starshine". The
    church I was with 55 years ago, did several songs part of the deal,
    including Sheb Wooley's hit "The Purple People Eater".

    And, if the Pontiff has eye surgery, requiring a patch...then sounds
    the beeper on his Pope-Mobile that flies around, and has overdone it
    on the grapes and wine, would he be "The One Eyed, One Horned, Flying
    Purple Papal Leader"?? <G>

    That compares with the joke asking what you have with a group of
    Texas A&M Aggies, sitting around a campfire, singing, drinking Tab,
    and eating apples?? "The Moron Tab And Apple Choir". <G>

    Yes, it's a Monday. <G>

    Weather warning: It's going to be in the 60s for the next bunch of
    puns. . . (not bad for you, but something fearsome in Canada!)

    Sometimes, we wonder what happened to the weather stripping on the
    Canadian border. <G> But, our big winter snows are usually late in
    January, and during February...like it was last year.

    Q: What do you call a hippie's wife? A: Mississippi

    If you're not the beanstalk climber's daughter, you're Jackson.

    Q: What does a hangman and a hippie have in common? A: They're both
    into tie-die!

    That is a pattern not for the colorblind folks.

    My dad is an old hippie, this was his thoughts on the 70s "I used to do drugs in the 70s, now I don't care what the temperature is"

    They said dress for the 50s today, so I dressed like Buddy Holly. <G>

    My hippie grandmother has finally come up with a name for her bakery. Flour power.

    All I saw was an episode of The Three Stooges, where they looked like a ghost, with "a flour explosion".

    Q: Why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie? A: He was too far out,
    man.

    He would've done better with a rip fart than a rip current.

    Q: How does a hip polygamist count his wives? A: One Mrs. Hippie, two
    Mrs. Hippie, three Mrs. Hippie......

    There was a commercial years ago for an insurance company, where the guy
    had multiple cars, multiple kids, and multiple jobs. Then, this woman yells
    to her husband that dinner is ready...and he notes "One Wife". <G>

    Q: How did the hippie burn his tongue? A: He was drinking coffee before
    it was cool, man.

    How did the blonde hurt herself trying to start the car?? She burned her mouth on the tailpipe. <G>

    Yup, I have the LP -- very trippy cover art! (I miss LP cover art -- like Moody Blues -- they turned every cover into a two-page story.)

    And, if the Pontiff has eye surgery, requiring a patch...then sounds

    Purple Papal Leader"?? <G>

    Stretching too far for that one. . . Many are wondering, if the Pope is appointed, ultimately, by God, & presumably blessed by God, why does the Pope need to drive around in a bullet-proof upside
    -down aquarium?

    Sometimes, we wonder what happened to the weather stripping on the
    Canadian border. <G> But, our big winter snows are usually late in
    January, and during February...like it was last year.

    I finally figured out wy Americans think wee're sio cold year-round 8in Canada.

    You see a weathermap that shows both sides of the border, in August & some nice 80s & 90s on your side, but directly across the border, in Canada, nothing higher than 35! (in AUGUST!)

    One old-timer in Detroit noted, "That must be howthey knew where to put the border."

    Q: What do you call a hippie's wife? A: Mississippi
    If you're not the beanstalk climber's daughter, you're Jackson.

    Or you're the giant's daughter.
    Mama's baby, but Papas's maybe!

    They said dress for the 50s today, so I dressed like Buddy Holly. <G>
    Nice! If it's the 50s here, EEEP!!! It did ht 50 here one August -- that's Las Vegas temps! (122F)

    Q: Why couldn't the lifeguard save the hippie? A: He was too far out,
    man.
    He would've done better with a rip fart than a rip current.

    Saw a real NatGeo video of a blue whale farting -- far OUT, man! RADICAL!!!

    That's a rip you don't want to cross paths with!

    How did the blonde hurt herself trying to start the car?? She burned her mouth on the tailpipe. <G>

    That must be Debbie, I used to date her. . . very briefly, trust me. . .

    I hate tailpipes.
    They're exhausting.

    Had a dream that I was a tailpipe last night I woke up exhausted

    Turns out our Lyft driver is a sheep herder He said he'll be here in two shakes of a lamb's tailpipe.

    People who run behind cars get exhausted. But people who run in front of cars get tired.

    My son asked, "Why can't you help me put his together?" Me: "I'm feeling like a bicycle?"
    Him: "What's that mean?"
    Me: "I'm two-tired."
