Is this a new Blue Jimmy Fallon gimmick?

In my town, there's an American Legion hall catty-corner from a VFW hall. Sometimes I imagine they rumble. Other times, I imagine the membership has quite a bit of overlap.

Y'know, he's not made any personal attacks about your lady parts — and lemme tell ya, there's a lot of material to work with there.

I think the preferred nomenclature is ¡Jeb!

Is this a real thing, or just a comic exaggeration? I have never seen a depiction of Jesus as blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Fair-skinned, yes, and perhaps unexpectedly so for someone who lived and wandered in the desert 2000 years ago. But always brown-haired and -bearded. Honestly, I never looked closely at the eyes.

You don't really ever leave your keyboard,

I left a symphony performance in Kansas City once, and outside saw one of the cellists hurrying toward the street with her cello in its case, where she got into a waiting taxi. I wondered where a cellist was going in such a hurry after a Saturday night performance. I mean, what emergency would necessitate a cellist

What? No mention of Simpsons quotes? That's our best work!

I hope he was deadly serious about that.

You're thinking of James Buchanan.

If it's any consolation, within 5 years, robots will have taken over most of the functions of your job, so you won't be working retail much longer.

Lemme tell you something, my Kraut-Mick friend, I'm gonna make so much trouble for you, you won't know what hit ya—-
