  1. To help with our perception of such expressions as "soon, impending, around-the-corner, imminent" we should keep in mind that the GB and/or our organization is not the only ones who use such expressions. Here are a few other examples: We see a sign on a piece of land with a sign that says, "Coming Soon..." and names some store or building. Even after they start construction, is sometimes takes several years for them to complete that "soon" construction. Back in 1954 Bell Labs invented the modern silicon panels designed to use solar power. With that invention, we were told that soon solar power would be a reality. Here we are in 2026, and solar power is still a novelty of sorts since it is just starting to be used for large scale power generation. I live in Florida, a place known for oranges. If you start from seeds, it takes around 15 years to get the first fruits and even longer for them to be commercially viable. In 1969 man first landed on the moon. It was said that soon we would have colonies living on the moon. That was 57 years ago, and we are still being told that "soon" there will be colonies on the moon. If you have an allergy, often the impact and effects of that allergy can hit us almost instantly. When we hear expressions like soon, imminent and on-the-verge we have to remember that words like this have such varied implications that we just have to be patient, so we don't miss that soon event when it does happen.
  2. Gibberish can be applied to what is commonly called "Baby Talk" because it is primarily composed of what is widely considered to be gobbledygook.
  3. Inflated egos subsequentially extend too often to those who push everyone else to walk to their tune.
  4. Mouth transforming distension can occur when a person metaphorically inserts his lower most appendage into said opening.
  5. Embarrassing his writing team by transposing his words, a part-time writer accidently invented the iconic speech patterns of Yoda.
  6. And just think .... this is why he crossed the street
  7. Constrictor style clamps come in many varieties that include spring, screw and snap methods.
  8. Ebullience, according to their commercials, is one of the results of drinking Red Bull.
  9. "Be or not to be" is often quasi-quoted in a variety of situations and circumstances.
  10. Have you ever changed the oil in your vehicle? With that idea in mind and a little tongue-in-cheek I came up with this song:
  11. While working on the song about chips, one of my daughters came home with a box of bread goodies another vendor gave her. In the box was some loaves of Rasin Bread. Have you ever had any raisin bread? How do you like it? This is what I came up with about having raisin bread:
  12. Try this forum https://carnivoretalk.com/ It belongs to our very own @Brother_Bliss
  13. Do you watch YouTube videos? Do have some favorite ones you like to watch. Have you had some of those favorite ones stop posting on a regular basis, quit all together or move to Patreon where you have to pay to watch them? This is a song about just that subject: Do like potato chips? Are you one who just sticks to the original plain chip ... or do you like the flavored chips? This is a song about shopping on the chip aisle:
