International Walt Day

Today is “International Walt Day.” A time when we can for a few moments set aside the endless arguing about the Russia/Ukraine war and the legacies of Reagan and Trump, and celebrate Walt.

In honor of Walt, here is my attempt to be like Walt:

An advertisement for a position of Carpenter is posted. A man applied for the job.
The boss and the hiring manager look over the application.

“Let’s see,” the boss began, “He’s got years of experience, but would he work?”
The hiring manager asked, “What’s his name?”

“Woody Work.”

“Would Woody Work work?”

“Woody Work would work.”

“The job is woody work, so if you think Woody Work would work the woody work, then Woody Work it is!”

  4. I know it is frustrating for Walt, who engineered The Peace of Nicias signed between the Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta in March 421 BC that ended the first half of the Peloponnesian War, to have failed in achieving peace here at HHR.

    In his defense, the differences here are more profound than those between Sparta and Athens.

    So yes, to my surprise, HHR still is alive, but it is a shell of what it used to be.

    You, however, should be embarrassed that when you cannot take issue with my posts on merits, you have to go back to an old mistake of mine that has been acknowledged and apologized for by me. Poor BL hates God, hates Trump and hates those who call him out on his errors. Such a shame.

  47. Bitter,

    Last summer, I went to the funeral of a former student. He was from a very poor family but a good athlete and hard working student. Played football, basketball and was a good baseball player. Sometimes when he was unable to get a ride home after a sports team practice, he would hide under the bleachers in the gym and spend the night there. Got his teaching degree and came back to teach with me at our high school. Years later, I also taught his daughter and his stepdaughters. After decades of teaching and decades of being our baseball coach, he retired. Died of a heart attack shortly afterward.

    At his funeral, this was a poem he had written some years before that was printed on the back of the program at his funeral: (thought you would appreciate this)

                  “Inside The Park

    Ninety feet apart at right angle set bases, 

    Three players guard and the catcher faces.

    At the top of the peak stands a warrior tall,

    Past the batter he’ll try to rifle the ball.

    The batter steps into the box,

    The shortstop pulls up his sagging socks.

    The pitcher kicks up his leg to fire,

    Strike one,” calls the umpire.

    The pitcher leans back again, 

    The American flag blows in the wind.

    The batter hits a bug in the rug,

    The umpire makes sure each base he tug.

    The outfielder reaches to pick up the ball,

    The third base coach yells, “…touch ‘em all.”

    The first baseman runs across the mound,

    As the baserunner tires and slows down.

    The outfielder makes a real strong throw,

    The catcher tells the first baseman, “Let it go.”

    The runner slides across the plate,

    The catcher’s tag is a little late.

    The umpire still must make a call,

    Because after all–this is BASEBALL.

                                        Ben Merica”

    Actually, Trump needs a lot from Zelensky, because containing Putin’s expansionist agenda is in OUR interest.

    But you are too stupid to understand that, just keep reading the Gateway Pundit where they tell you America is an island.

    “Yes, we heard completely unacceptable statements by the U.S. leader about who started the war; about resolving the “conflict in Ukraine” by completely satisfying Putin’s “wishes”; about de facto potentially forcing Ukraine to surrender everything we have been fighting for for 11 years against aggressive dictatorial Russia,” Klympush-Tsintsadze said.

    “Two strangers get paired up golfing

    They’re both pretty avid golfers, so they’re playing a speedy round. 

    They play through a couple groups and end up behind a couple ladies further up the fairway. 

    The one chap decides to walk up and ask if they can play through. About halfway towards them, he stops dead and turns around. 

    His partner says “why’d you stop?” 

    “Well when I got close, I realized one was my wife and one was my mistress.”

    The other fellow decides to go inquire on behalf of the duo.

  105. Also the US never provided $200 billion in aid.

    “The story that 90 percent of all aid is [from] the United States … you and I understand that the truth is a little different, although we are certainly grateful for the help,” Zelenskyy said. “That is why I would like the Trump team to have more truth. We have totally different numbers.

    “I know so far [the] war cost us $320 billion. Ukrainian taxpayers covered $120 billion. [The] U.S. and [the] European Union covered $200 billion in total. The U.S. has so far provided us [with] $67 billion worth of military aid and $31.5 billion direct budget aid,” Zelenskyy said.

    The latest data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, which has been independently tracking Western aid to Ukraine, suggest that Zelenskyy is closer to the truth than Trump.

    As of February, donor countries had provided €267 billion in aid to Ukraine over the past three years: €130 billion in military assistance, €118 billion in financial support and €19 billion in humanitarian aid.

    “Europe as a whole has clearly overtaken the U.S. in terms of Ukraine aid. In total, Europe has allocated €70 billion ($72.2 billion) in financial and humanitarian aid as well as €62 billion in military aid. This compares to €64 billion in military aid from the U.S. as well as €50 billion in financial and humanitarian allocations,” the study published last week reads.”

  121. No, no no, Chicon. You definitely missed the point of something Anonymous said.

    jason frequently claims NYCMike is a racist and bigot because NYCMike allegedly said foreign born jason should “go back to where he came from.” (Whether this did or did not happen I am not sure)

    So the point is that if those who are left with no other option but to post as “Anonymous” start “signing” their posts, jason might take the handle or create a parody character to make it look like that person is saying things they would not otherwise say.

    But perhaps this is just paranoia and he can be trusted to be completely honest and forthright on here.
