I’m For the Birds OPEN THREAD

Yeah, so? The first of many posts to come …. my face is painted blue (bless ya, brother Mel Gibson, for the war paint) … the day of reckonin’ is comin’. The HBO sports guys voted for the Steelers 3 to 1. haruuummmph.


My next-door neighbor — let me tell you, he’s really for the birds! — sent me another joke. You know what his jokes are like. Corny, like him. But this one shows WHICH SIDE God is on this Sunday! … below the fold … OPEN THREAD …
Now we know who’s side he’s on.

Terry Bradshaw, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God
was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded
Steelers flag in the window.
“This house is yours for eternity, Terry.” said God.


“This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here.”


Bradshaw felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up
the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3
story mansion with a blue and white sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flag pole with
an enormous SEAHAWKS flag, and in every window a blue Towel.


Bradshaw looked at God and said, “God, I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but
I have a question. I was an all-pro quarterback, I hold many NFL records,
and I even went to the Hall of Fame.”


God said, “So what’s your point Bradshaw?”


“Well, why does Matt Hasselbeck get a better house than me?”


God chuckled, and said, “Terry, that’s not Matt’s house, it’s mine.”
