Frugal Fun Day

Margie: Edna, did you remember that Saturday was Frugal Fun Day? That's a day when people are supposed to participate in fun activities that are free or inexpensive.

I suppose I'm dreaming if I think you did anything fun because you're a stick-in-the-mud person. I guess I should have told you to go fly a kite.

Edna:  Shows what you know, because I did fly a kite!  I got that old kite of Cousin T's out of the shed and had me a fine old time down at the park.

I suppose you did something frugal, too?  That'll be the day!

Margie: Don't you worry about what I did, sister. Let's just say many of the finer things in life really are free.

Dancing with the elderly

Edna:  You know, in my day, I could really turn heads out on the dance floor but I'm just not that flexible any more.  I don't know how this lady in Ohio does it, but she's still doing splits at 94 years old!  Gosh, I hope she takes Boniva or something, you could really break a hip that way.

Margie: You turned heads for sure because your partners always yelled when you smashed their toes!

Boniva? She'd best have a few stiff drinks before she dances. I'm no fool so I'll just sit here and watch TV dancing.

Edna:  At least she's brave enough to get out there and dance at her age.  When was the last time you did something unexpected for your age, Margie?  Oh wait, you act like a floozy all the time so I guess I have my answer.

Fall TV Review

Margie: Edna, there were lots of new TV shows last week and I found some favorites. I don't like Dancing With The Stars but I'm watching because my friend, Nancy Grace is on it. She's doing a great job too. At least she doesn't step on her partner's toes like somebody I know does, sister.

I really liked Person Of Interest. I love to watch a handsome man kick tushie. My favorite new show, though, was Revenge. That show could give a person lots of ideas. What did you like, Edna?

Edna:  Oh no you don't!  You're just trying to trick me into revealing my favorite new show because you know that as soon as I do, it will get canceled.  Well, I'm on to you sister!

All right, maybe I liked Ringer, just a little bit.  I'm finding it a little confusing, though.

Margie: Edna, that's because you're always confused. I think I'll get my pistol and cancel you!

Edna:  Kiss my grits, harpy.  While we're on the subject of you being an idiot, why didn't the DVR tape Terra Nova last night like I set it to?  Admit it, you erased the recording because you knew the show was about dinosaurs and you were afraid you'd spot one of your old boyfriends.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Margie: That wasn't all I erased, nitwit.

Edna:  That's true.  You erase at least a year off your age every time you have a birthday.  Keep that up and pretty soon you'll be too young to drive legally.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

Breakfast Honey

Margie: Edna, why in tarnation do you have to be so dang selfish? I made my breakfast this morning and everything was all nice and hot. I go to get the honey which you know I put on my biscuit every morning. Was there any honey? No, selfish, there was none. You ate the last of it & didn't replace it.

Well, you won't best me, sister. I just called Cousin T and had him go get me some. I sure do feel fine after a healthy breakfast!

Edna:  You try pouring that on your biscuit and you'll be drinking your breakfast.  Which I suppose you'd enjoy more anyway, you lush.

Supernatural's back!

We know everyone is talking about fall TV this week, we are too.  Supernatural returns tonight with its Season 7 premiere.  While we're not sure what this season holds, we do know that they boys have a lot of fun on set.  While you're waiting for tonight, why don't you check out the Season 6 gag reel from last season's DVD?

 

Criminal Minds

Margie: I'm feeling my oats today, friends. I made a plan with Mrs. Pastor to get Edna out of the house tonight so I can watch Criminal Minds. Mrs. Pastor is going to ask Edna to help at church for a party for the children. There is one good thing I can say about Edna and that is that she loves children.

Criminal Minds 7th season starts tonight and it's going to be awesome. Prentiss returns from the dead and you know the team is going to be highly upset about that. This season will also highlight the personal sides of the agents' lives like Rossi's ex-wife paying a visit.

I'd best go get my snacks ready.

Male fashion..what??

Edna:  I have lived a long life and have seen many things.  But never in all my born days did I ever think I'd live to see men wearing pantyhose and carrying purses.  Margie, what do you make of this?
    

Oh my!

Margie: Edna, I miss the days when men were men. Can you imagine Daddy wearing panty hose? Mama would have put him in the mental. Besides, sister, I'm not about to trust a man with a purse!


Edna:  I think man-fashion has gone too far. Pantyhose aren't comfortable for women, and we don't have nearly the amount of...um...items to pack into them that men do.  I feel sorry for those boys who wear pantyhose, talk about being a slave to fashion.


You know, equality between the sexes is a wonderful ideal.  I think people should be able to wear whatever they want to, and it wasn't that long ago that women wearing slacks was frowned upon.  But there are plenty of things men wear that I wouldn't want to, like neckties.  And plaid flannel.  We've got to draw the line somewhere, and I say it should be drawn right before you get to "idiotic".


Margie: Well, sister, some men need to wear a girdle! Too many Big Macs these days. All I can say is that all men should pay attention to the clothes worn by Jensen Ackles and Nathan Fillion. I bet you wouldn't catch those two with a purse or wearing high heels!
