Campbell's "Cream of Umberger" soup.

NICE!!! You're the best!

I always have a soft spot for Burl... I know, it's more polished...

I will see Your Harry McClintock and raise You a Burl Ives! 😃😊

PowerPop anyone?? A blast from past... Some Material Issue anyone, circa 1991... Both clock in @ just a smidge under 3:00... Don't care what YouTubey says! 😏😏

What came first? The chicken 🐔 or the egg 🥚🤔? I think they already turned a light-hearted, off-the-cuff thread into a political comment. 😉 😉 😜

How is this thread NOT locked and archived after almost 2 years. Gug must have some real pull with house management! Free my: "Life on the Locks" thread... I have some valuable info to add. 😆🤣

Toons are fun! I remember one time we were out tooning around on friend's (neighbor) family's boat on the Kalamazoo River in Saugatuck, Michigan... I told my neighbor, don't drift out of the channel. What does he do? Drifts out of the channel! And got that SOB stuck on a sandbar. What a mutha was it to get free! Not exactly Suez Ever Given stuck... But it ranked up there! My neighbor, guy like @BringBackFergy... Always joking around, never listening to his local USACE government offical. 🙄 "Blah, blah blah... I know where the darn channel is! Blah blah blah!" OKay, wise guy, start digging! Incredible wasn't it! /smdh... AND she had the lack of shame to even post that!

I say I can't blame the bear. Get sprayed in face with pepper 🌶 spray... You'd tear the joint up to. Like flipping cars in downtown Portland!

Gee, the video started like: And ended with: Could we get a mash-up????

I double-dog dare you! Every one loved "Rainbows, Locks, & Barges!"... As much as breakfast sammiches!

You're the best 👌 !

55 cans of beer. Just get a big cooler. @Beerball's are SOO obsolete. For only 400 bucks you can get a 65qt. YETI, it will hold your sammiches too and ice for 10 days... AND you'll look super cool unlike those old ancient @Beerball's that just make you look like an alcoholic... 😆 Earlier... Before my time, but I heard stories that you were allowed to bring small kegs into The Rockpile. INTO the stadium. Now Rich, winter parka could easily conceal at least a 6-pack if not more...

Eggamuffin: But, I don't eat them for breakfast... Too early, that's stupid.

😆... It must have been down in Peoria. Or on the Wabash... Peoria is nowhere near the state border...

Interesting... Expand. Were they talking about how Illinois pushed the Wisconsin border up north where it is today because of the Chicago Portage, etc...? I think that dispute was settled in Congress. Nathaniel Pope got Congress to move the border up north. It should have been further south per NW Ordinance, inline w/Indiana... The northern border with Wisconsin Territory (WI wouldn't be a state for another 20 years) enabled the Chicago Portage and mineral rights in the Galena Territory to fall under Illinois control... Along with the canal that brought Chicago to prominence. Quite a shrewd move...

We're on a mission from Gaad.

Who's got $$$$$ to do such bougie things? 😆🤣😂 Things are really gonna suck when it opens up. Who wants to deal with a sea of humanity? /smh https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/introverts-are-dreading-a-return-to-the-noise-crowds-and-small-talk-of-normal-life/2021/04/09/386006b0-987b-11eb-b28d-bfa7bb5cb2a5_story.html?outputType=amp

I want @Gugny's 6th sense and your 7th! 😆🤣 😃

https://weather.com/science/nature/video/moms-everywhere-will-relate-to-this-bear?pl=pl-the-latest YouTube version:

Try and tell @Gugny this...I don't think he gets the concept. 😆🤣 Hey Buddy, you listening? Of course not, you're sleeping... 😁😆😅 Carry on.

Catch up on your sleep? 😆 They already have whitefish... Will get confusing with the L.Superior variety. 😉 OH, wait... That's the point!

I agree with this... But it makes me feel creepy. We all know why we should be vaxxed. Shouldn't have to be about telling people. Just roll up your freaking sleeve! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/04/10/health/vaccine-hesitant-how-to-talk-wellness/index.html "When they hear that you chose to vaccinate, they'll consider it because you're part of their social circle," Pan said. "That becomes the social norm for your immediate social circle."

Getting vaxxed is a drug! 😆🤣
