My neighbors recently hired a live-in nanny from Tucson of all places. She had an exceptionally irritating personality and really grated on them. So they fired her.
Nobody likes a prickly au pair.
(that’s why she was au pair today and gone tomorrow)

What do you call ex-WASPS who have adopted aspects of Jewish culture into their lives?

Which knight of the round table was always accusing his friend of stealing his fire? And moreover by performing his patented “cussing clown” routine in dive bars in upstate New York while in drag as Emile Zola and acting out the entire Dreyfus Affair?
Sir Accuse
We at the schplog love the mint!
They have a terrific sense of humor (historic change! get it? get it?), an awkward yet charming desire to be liked (”Find out more about this new and exciting program: Sign up for email updates“) and now they are going to put our favorite president on a coin.
That’s right! And if that isn’t a news ITEM worthy of being schplogged I don’t know what is. Our very own Herbert Hoover on a presidential dollar coin. And not in disguise as Rufus T. Firefly either.
Admittedly he won’t be out until 2014 (how very futuristic and forward-thinking of him) but we schploggers won’t touch a dirty dollar coin until he’s resting safely in the palms of our aged and wrinkled hands.
We love Herbert Hoover. And we salute the U.S. mint for loving him too, with honor, dignity and a little splash of mintegrity
Following the trend — created right here on the Schplog — of paying homage to the knights of the round table and other notables of yore, Harley Davidson launched their new baby (sadly misspelled) the Nightster.
And speaking of which, which knight of the round table accidently rode his horse into a group of Hell’s Angels never to be seen again?

This isn’t actually my rant: I found it on amazon.com and it isn’t even really a rant so much as a mini-rant. Still funny. Or at least one dearly hopes so.
“It seems plausible that only genetic engineering or an enlightened oligarchy can save us”.
Thus spake Rhynchosaur and we at the schplog hope that he was a. kidding or b. fifteen. The schploggers don’t know whether to laugh, cry or dance a jig.
Which underdog Briton of yore studied long and hard at the foot of his Karate master Mr. Miyagi to win the championship?

Which knight abandoned the round table to pursue a career on the road as a foul-mouthed clown?

You probably heard about the fiasco that nearly ensued when Rolls Royce was bringing the Silver Mist to Germany. Mist, in German, means manure or muck (at best). So Rolls had to cover their behind and change the name to the Silver Shadow.
Well, here at the Schplog we are getting all excited for the German debut of the Chevy Grand Schlam!*
* Schlam: yet another German word for muck
