BYE PAM

DOWN GOES PAM BONDI

FOR TRUMP JUST ONE MORE BLONDIE

PAM SAYS TRUMP CONNED ME

Premium Member PB And 'in a' JAM

Bye Bye, 
don’t cry
Trump did you bad
So sad, you have to go! 
 Miss-handler
   promised the moon
    and did not deliver
      Loyalty fell short,
       you must abort 
       now join Noam
      and don’t let the door
    kick you in the s’ass-afras!
And good riddance~

DARK REVENGE

KRISTI NOEM DONE

BONDI SHOULD BE THE NEXT ONE

TRUMP UNDER THE GUN


Shots Fired

The door exploded.
When she slammed it,
detonations riddled his body,
shock and anger
galloped over his mind
both riding the same horse.

Molten emotions dripped in the air,
a seethe like lava, a floe that clung
even as she ran down the long staircase,
heels ticking off
all the wrongs of his tongue.

They ate the apple, but the worm
in the fruit ate her.
It was forbidden
by the birds in the sky.
She begged to be liked
from the lip of her grave.

No one will shoot her for being
vulnerable.
They will kill him for loving her,
for he knew now
how a door explodes,

how it speaks
of the hand that slams it,
and the birds of the sky
will not forgive her.

The sound of gunfire,
gives cause for alarm at night,
unless from my gun.

Premium Member Can't Get Fired

I am not in school,
and I am retired.
I can’t get an “F”,
And I can’t get fired.

SUBSTANCE FIRED TRIGGERED OUT TAIL MAN BUTTOCK MOVES- A Grook 
I lit the substance it fired not
I pulled the trigger something shot out
I shake my buttock, yet don’t have a tail
Like a dog we both move…WELL>

Simple, Hot and Deep

Simple, Hot and Deep
An entrepreneurs creed
I learned this phrase from working with Trip Hawkins indeed

That's the key to a good consumer product
make it easy to navigate, sleek in design and just this side of crazy
Make it feature rich and customizable
Give the consumer the controls so it's not lazy

It's the fantasy of control that drives a consumers engagement and enjoyment, that relevant detail lost on many a developers deployment

As a producer I see it time and again
they get lost in bad interface and endless steps to get to the end

Trip isn't always right, he was responsible for the single button mouse on the MAC. And us experienced PC users make bawdy remarks about that and a few wise cracks.

But Trip is a genius and inspirational to boot. 
And I listen intently whenever he opens that chute
Because the nuggets of truth and refined thought that pour out
are gold mine worthy, have no doubt. 

Simple, hot and deep.  Artimus (C) Susan Manley 10/05/2023

Premium Member Shots Fired

"Pop! Pop! Pop!" goes a squeezed Desert Eagle.
  Two innocent bodies drop; funeral to be held for one.
Fleeing block party crew scatter like startled lemmings.
   A drive-by shooting; blood curdling screams follow. 
    Repeated cries of "Somebody call an ambulance!"... 
            Yet another day, somewhere in America.

Premium Member Shots Fired

He walks into the market,
With a rifle in his hands.
An ulterior motive,
That no one understands.

An automatic weapon,
It should come as no surprise.
With fully loaded clip,
Drops people just like flies.

See the blood splattered scene,
A sight we all abhor.
Another fatal shooting,
Limp bodies on the floor.

There's a smile on his face,
As he savors all the dead.
Please do us all a favor,
And shoot yourself instead.

Premium Member Hush - Wanna Get Me Fired

Since 'dross' doesn't rhyme with 'gross'
     (as it could)
 
  I'm glad that it rhymes with 'boss'
     (as it should!)

Premium Member Shots Fired - Oh So Tired

I'm in the station when I hear the first shot
I run outside to the parking lot
Willis and Ferris are on the ground
Faces down
Blood pooling around
Blood rushes to my head
Are they alive or dead?
I begin to move towards them when another shot rings out
I feel something sharp hit me then I too am knocked out
I wake up in a strange room filled with wounded men
I count them and spot Willis and Ferris is beds 9 and 10

Premium Member Number One Reason People Are Fired

I ask the fifth-grade students what the number one reason is
that people cannot keep their job?
 
Here are their guesses, given to me in a variety of ways:
 
cannot do the work
backtalk the boss
late every day
call in sick a lot
don’t understand the job
don’t know how to do the job
are lazy
have a frowning face
have a bad attitude
are grouchy
can’t read
can’t write
can’t add
 
Then I tell them they had great ideas, but the number one reason
people cannot keep their job is because they do not get along well with other
people, and they spread rumors or make trouble.
 
The trouble makers always start screeching and screaming at me.
I roll my eyes.
Thinking they might have a bit of a bump in their future career paths.
