Spooky ToyBoy and the Mikster at Biltmore, this is 10 years ago...
Wondering how well it will come back...
Also, didn't realize how much taller the Mikster is than I am; but at 5'4, they are ALL tall women.
Trained by Bun Man and Mr. Purple, goat herders turned animal trainers, the Boyz responded that perhaps Montecore was a bit overzealous.
Needless to say, the Boyz' training center closed shortly thereafter, and the Boyz became Alpaca farmers.
It's all about the wool baby...

ON this date in 2003 - Ray Horn, of the duo "Siegfried & Roy," was attacked by a tiger during a performance.
Roy survived the attack after being dragged offstage.
The tiger, a 7-year-old male named Montecore, was debuting in his first show.

CAREER CHOICES
In my next life, I'm going to go into a field where customers would feel compelled to keep me on retainer, yet mercilessly avoid using my service.
You guessed it, insurance salesman...
IN SPITE OF FORCES WORKING AGAINST US, WE ARE FAMILY
Ken-Dogger: Hey guys, you look so cute there...One of you looks a little different.
Chief: Oh, the one in the middle, she's our sister.
KD: Sister from another mother?
Chief: Naw, sometimes the same mother can produce oddly different kids.
KD: Go on...
Chief: Siouxee may look different, but she's our sister, we're family, that's all that matters.
FIGURING THE FIGURIN'
Morning Cyclers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Dash, you gonna catch ‘em all?
Dash: If I can…
KD: Next to impossible Dasher…
D: What’s goin’ on?
KD: It’s Fall, leaves fall, it’s the tree’s cycle.
D: Do I have a cycle?
KD: We all do, we’re all tryin’ to figure out where we are in it.
D: Well, let’s get to figurin’…
Morning Peeps,
MLB Playoffs are breaking some hearts, mine included

SPOOKTOBER METER...
There are still QUITE A FEW nauts out here in the COSOVERSE who have failed to take on a SPOOKTOBER moniker in their name.
BEWARE THE SPOOKTOBER REVENGE FOR THOSE WHO FAIL TO HEED...
FROMA HARROP on the BORDER
Back to the bottom line: Migration at the border, measured by encounters, is lower than it was during Trump. Do voters want as president a big mouth who tanked the tough immigration bill and now -- with the facts no longer in his favor -- has resorted to clown talk about migrants eating pets? Or do they want the vice president whose administration went far in getting the job done and who promises even more controls if elected?

Sheesh, we USED to have a topical focus here.
CNN put up a digital paywall, charging $3.99 a month for unlimited access to its website as part of a strategic shift toward becoming “a more consumer-oriented digital product company.”
S: Morning Brew
IDK, COULD IT BE NO ONE CARES ANYMORE WHAT YOU SAY CNN?

"It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err."
- Mahatma Gandhi
ON this date in 1890 - Groucho Marx was born in New York.
He is known for the "Marx Brothers" movies and his quiz show "You Bet Your Life."
Bun Man, while a contestant, was asked "Who's voice would you rather hear in a shower, a man's or a woman?"
Bun replied, a Woman, which was wrong due to the tonal range in a shower.
Bun then told Groucho..."You may want to hear a man's voice in the shower, but I want a woman's voice in there."
Mr. Purple was radical in 2013...
ON this date in 2013 - US Senator Bun Man proposes the following resolution: Take these Tea Party MF'ers to Texas, pay for all their relocation costs and allow Texas to secede.
Ultimately it will cost us less in both the short-term and the long-term.
Bun and P loved working on Charlie's expedition, they considered it the highlight of their scientific inquiry.
Bun Man told me when the book was released, Liberals loved it, but Conservatives?
Well, they just thought it had a few too many facts for them to embrace the concept...
And so it goes, and goes, and goes...

ON this date in 1836 - Charles Darwin returned to England after 5 years of acquiring knowledge around the world about fauna, flora, wildlife and geology.
He used the information to develop his "theory of evolution" which he unveiled in his 1859 book entitled The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

Needless to say, the cops were affected.
The Dead members were released six hours later on bail.
The cops realized it another six hours later...
