George,

 GP> Now they're remaking a bunch, like Chain Reaction, which I always liked
 GP> (I like to see how much of the chain I can get before they pop initial
 GP> letters in!)

  There's actually a doorgame by that name, and I think I have it on the BBS.

 GP> My fave games are trivia-based (Jeopardy, Millionaire, The Chase, etc)
 GP> as I can play along & learn things.

  I tried playing the one with Synchronet, but I'm just not very
knowledgeable on certain subjects.

 >   Or the pothole repair truck fell into a huge pothole.

 GP> That's usually an indication that they waited too long to go fix it!

  Yeah, that too.

 GP> It's a good joke & moral lesson, all in one! (like Mike Warnke's
 GP> standup from the '70s & '80s)

  Hadn't heard his name in awhile!!

 GP> Elijah stands off to the side, laughing, yelling, "Call louder.  Maybe
 GP> he's sleeping!"

  One translation actually has "He's sitting on the toilet". :P

 GP> I expect Warnke, now, would finish by having Elijah turn to the
 GP> Baalites with a hearty, "BOOYA, DITCHES!!!"

  I've heard some say that when Lazarus was eating fried chicken with
Elijah and Moses, and The Lord calls "Lazarus!! Come Forth!!"...so,
the reply is "What do You Want?? By now, I stinketh!!". 

 GP> I also like how he t old the Jonah story:

 GP> towards shore where the Ninevites were gathered, just watyching this
 GP> spectacle of a man, with seaweed & stomach acids dripping out of his
 GP> hair & beard, slowly, wade towards shore, then lifts up one hand,
 GP> likewise dripping, & intones, "REPEEEENT!"

  No pressure. They did repent, but apparently it didn't last long.

 GP> (I picture a crowd's worth of fertilizer suddenly making an appearance
 GP> behind closed loincloths!)

  I would say so.

 >  GP> That's the standard.  The first shot will provide you some immunity.
 >  GP> Here they're delaying second shots to ensure more get the first one
 >  GP> ASAP.

 GP> Sounds about right. BC is trying to get more people at 80% before going
 GP> the 2nbd to give (95% is what I heard the max efficacy is, with Pfizer
 GP> & Moderna near it, & Astro-Zeneca closer to 90%)

  I saw where they suspended the Johnson and Johnson and Moderna shots in
some areas. I'm to get the Pfizer one on April 23.

 >   609 minutes early?? You must get there the night before. 

 GP> 30-60 minutesl it's tough typing when you only have one working hand!

  I'll give you that. I have 2 hands, but I have fat finger syndrome. But,
without fat fingers, how do you pick up the food and the silverware??!!

 >  GP> Sam Walton (Wal-Mart) thought similarly & look how big he got!

 >   He's surely turning over in his grave now.

 GP> Not sure; his family still has controlling stock & are filthy rich.
 GP> What else does he want?  Their excuse would be the changing mores of
 GP> the American/global cxonsumer, demanding cheaper & cheaper, so
 GP> everything's msade in China now (you've seen that story of the world's
 GP> largest shipping vessel arriving full in USA, but returning empty?

  I heard he would show up in a store, incognito...and if he saw an
"associate" not doing his job, that person was fired the next day.

 >  >   Or where the little baby preferred "the natural milk" from his
 GP> Momma's
 >  > breasts, rather than from the milk bottle that Daddy had in his hand.

 >  GP> I think we all do(did! I meant DID! HONEST!!

  I don't remember what I had. I do recall my brother and I had the cloth
diapers growing up, that were washed and cleaned in the diaper pails, with
bleach, soap, etc. Now, you just throw them in the trash...and they are
causing a big health deal in landfills, with all the excrement. And,
comedian Jeff Foxworthy noted that "you've got the kids coming out of
diapers, but the grandparents are going into them". :P

 >   Thanks for the mammaries, it was the breast of times...and I don't want
 > to nipple this in the bud. 

 GP> Bud Light?

  Tit-ilating would be more like it. 

 GP> Funny thing, you can get milk & make cheese & cream from ANY mammal(by
 GP> definition); I wonder howe many rat farms are currently producing what
 GP> percentage of our commercial milk?); I could traihn rats to hook
 GP> themselves up to tiny auto-start milk pumps, so so could anyone else,
 GP> especially if it's their business!

  I had field rats work their way in here 2 months after my Mom died nearly
2 years ago...and I had to pay a large amount of money to get that problem
taken care of. We hadn't had much of a winter in several years (until we
got back to back snowstorms this past February, that shut much of the state
down for at least a week...and some places were shut down a month, due to
burst pipes and water damage)...so, the rodents were looking for a warm
place to spend the winter.

 >   Pilate acquitted Jesus 4 times, but the Pharisees would settle for
 > nothing less than Jesus' execution. One author wrote a book called

 GP> Sounds like that book may have been the source for the article I read.

  It might have been...I've never ordered it...but probably should.

 GP> Yup, it was in no way a Jewish trial.  It was a Roman kangaroo court.

 GP> It even broke Roman laws!

 GP> Looks like we've both been reading/hearing humour to hold up in trying
 GP> times. It(humour) saved my lifwe, I believe. I was despondent after
 GP> realizing I was crippled forever, but I discovered standup comedy on my
 GP> TV, & watched 1-3 hours/day, depending on the day & available shows.

  If you want some funny stuff, go look at the old Hollywood Squares
one liners, etc. -- especially with Paul Lynde. Even he admitted that
he had no idea how that got past the censors.

 GP> Laughter is the best medicine; unless you have diabetes, then insulin
 GP> is the best medicine. . .

  I'm at the low end of pre-type 2...but I have to wait until mid-May to
reschedule medical things...at least 2 weeks after I have the 2nd COVID-19
shot.
