OK some of you e-mail subscribers might have noticed you’re not getting the full issue anymore in your e-mails. To find out why go to the blog at Dragonlaffs.com like we’ve been trying to get you to do for nearly 3 years now.

You find your way here? Good! The short answer is you will not be receiving the entire issue in your e-mail any longer because of changes we made in the way the issue posts. These were deliberate changes designed to get people to come to the blog for a couple of reasons.

The first was to see the issue as we intended it to appear. We take a lot of time and effort in crafting each issue. Too much to have it appear all hacked up in an e-mail.

The second was to get our viewing count up to where we know it should be so that we can attract some advertisers and generate some revenue to offset the costs incurred with running the blog. The cost of the domain and hosting go up every year and we cannot continue to count on your generosity to fund it.

Likewise, we do not want to go to a subscription based fee system. The problem with attracting advertisers is all they want to know is how many people you reach. Our blog count hovers around 200 to 250 depending on the issue but we have nearly 3 times that who stubbornly insist on using the outmoded e-mail method of viewing which we cannot count in our hit and therefore will never be able to qualify for an advertising revenue stream.

Hence we after asking and explaining nicely at least 3 times a year  for each year we have been here were finally forced to take steps to force you to come to the blog to see the issues so that we could ensure the continuation of the blog. Regrettable but necessary for the blogs survival.

Now, enough explaining, lets make with the snort of hot coffee out your nasal passages and all over your screen & keyboard shall we?

‘Viagra’ is  now available in tea bags.  It doesn’t enhance your sexual performance but it does stop your biscuit going soft.

​So Impish was walking around grumbling​, snorting out little clouds of smoke where he went and generally setting off all the smoke detectors the other day.

In an attempt to remain on the good side of the local volunteer Fire Department w/o forking over more coin for yet another engine to appease them from all the Impish instigated false alarms I ask him what the problem was.

“She told me to peel half the potatoes from the bag and put them in the pot of water!” he fumed. “Women! Ya try to help and get friggin’ yelled at !??! How is that right?” he queried.

Knowing Impish as well as I do, I figured I wasn’t seeing the whole picture here, especially since he seemed to be in the right and actually have a point here.

So I texted Mrs. Dragon and asked her about the source of Impish’s foul mood. She declined to comment and just sent me this photo by way of an explanation.

A Baptist pastor was presenting a children’s sermon. During the
sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was.

Now, asking questions during children’s sermons is crucial, but at the
same time, asking children questions in front of a congregation can
also be very dangerous.

Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the
resurrection, a little boy raised his hand……..

The pastor called on him and the little boy said,

“I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor.”

It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough for the service to continue.

SOME HARD TRUE FACTS!!!

I have not read of a single dollar reduction in foreign aid as a result of sequestering. All items cut were for the express purpose of hurting the American taxpayer/working people the most!

Well?

DEMOCRAT and  Republican politicians are ‘different’ ONLY in name when it comes to what they are doing to the WE THE PEOPLE currently.

We read all the jokes and forward the good ones but I just wonder who will pass this one on. How about you sending it on, if you have enough ’intestinal fortitude’ to do so.  I’m the Lethal Leprechaun and I do. That’s why you are seeing it here. 

Someone please tell me what the Hell’s wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!

Both Democrats and Republicans  say,

“We’re broke and we have crushing debit measured in TRILLIONS of dollars” and as a result can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, Etc.,?

But, over the last several years THEY have provided direct cash aid to…..

Hamas – $351 M,

Libya    $1.45 B,

Egypt – $397 M,

Mexico – $622 M,

Russia – $380 M,

Haiti –    $1.4 B,

Jordan – $463 M,

Kenya – $816 M,

Sudan – $870 M,

Nigeria – $456 M,

Uganda – $451 M,

Congo – $359 M,

Ethiopia – $981 M,

Pakistan – $2 B,

South Africa – $566 M,

Senegal – $698 M,

Mozambique – $404 M,

Zambia – $331 M,

Kazakhstan – $304 M,

Iraq    –   $1.08 B,

Tanzania – $554 M,

…with literally Billions of Dollars and they still hate us!!!!

But on the other hand,  our retired seniors, living on a ‘fixed income,’ Receive NO aid!

Nor do they get any breaks, while our government And religious organizations will pour Hundreds of Billions Of $$$$$$’s and Tons of  Food  to Foreign Countries!

Someone needs to explain to them that Charity begins AT HOME!!!

And here is yet another atrocity….

We have Hundreds of adoptable American Children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of Foreign orphans!

AMERICA: A country where we have countless Homeless without shelter, Children going to bed hungry, Elderly going without needed medication and the Mentally ill without treatment — etc.

YET……….

They will have a ‘Benefit’ Show for the people of Haiti, on 12 TV Stations; Ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. Now Just Imagine if

Our own *GOVERNMENT*  gave ‘US’ the same support they give to foreign countries.!

Sad, isn’t it?

99% of people won’t have the ’intestinal fortitude’ to forward this.

WELL, I’m one of the 1% who just did, are YOU?

Lethal’ s Fresh Herb Rub

1/4c Coarse or Kosher Sea Salt
1/3c Olive Oil
2 tsp. Chopped Fresh Rosemary
1 Tbsp. Finely Chopped Fresh Thyme
2 tsp. Finely Chopped Oregano
1 tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
3 Tbsp. Chopped Garlic

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl to form a paste.
Rub directly onto prepared meat or poultry.
Cover with wrap and allow to marinade 1 hour to overnight in
refrigerator before cooking.

Makes enough rub for 6 to 8 servings of meat.

 I have one of those Ronco Rotisseries and use this basic recipe substituting a coarse ground or stone ground mustard for the Olive Oil and rub this liberally over the scored surface of a boneless half pork loin and allow it to sit for 4 hours before placing in the rotisserie. The result is a really blacken crust on the outside and some of the most juicy and flavorful pork you have ever tasted!

When Molly’s family comes visiting they offer to buy the Pork Loin if I’ll make it for them its that good.

Smoked Sausage & Tortellini Soup

1 lb. Smoked Sausage Links
4 Tbsp. Olive Oil
5 Cloves Garlic Minced
1/4 White Wine (optional)
3 14 oz. cans Low Sodium Chicken Broth
18 oz. refrigerated Cheese tortellini
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
6 oz. baby spinach leaves
Parmesan Cheese for serving garnish (optional)

Heat 1 to 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a Dutch oven and sauté smoked sausage links until well browned. Remove from pan allow to cool slightly and slice into small pieces. Set aside.

Heat remaining oil in oven sauté garlic 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in wine & broth bring to boil. Cook about 2 minutes, then add tortellini. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes then add in spinach and diced tomatoes. Continue cooking until spinach wilts about another 2 minutes. Return sautéed sliced sausage to soup and heat through. Top with Parmesan Cheese if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Serves 6

Impish- stop laughing and start taking notes. You’ve got a daughter!

Last week I mentioned what a racket the USPS has going and the excessive starting wage these people make. Apparently I struck a chord with some of you because I received more than a few Postal Rage related comments  items and links in my Inbox.

I figured I’d share a few of them with the rest of you.

For this kind of treatment we should pay half a buck to send a letter?

A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball game in his new country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring run….run!

The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: “R-r-run ya bahstard, r-run will ya!”

A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams “R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!”

The next batter held his swing at three and two and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up yelling “R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!” All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down confused.

A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment whisper, “He doesn’t have to run, he’s got four balls.”

After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, “Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with pr-r-ride!!”

Samuel L. Jackson disses Obama’s pronunciation: “Be f**king Presidential … stop trying to ‘relate'”

By Hollie McKay Published September 25, 2013 FoxNews.com

LOS ANGELES –  Samuel L. Jackson has some words of wisdom for President Obama when it comes to his deliberate dropping of “g’s” off the ends of words to seemingly sound like Joe Average.

“First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to ‘relate.’  Be a leader.  Be f**king presidential,” Jackson told Playboy magazine. “Look, I grew up in a society where I could say ‘It ain’t’ or ‘What it be’ to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family what cared about me, who has a well-read background, I f**king conjugate.”

The 64-year-old actor, who stars this fall in the highly-anticipated remake of “Oldboy,” is also known in social media circles as the “grammar police.”

“On Twitter someone will write, ‘Your an idiot,’ and I’ll go, ‘No, you’re an idiot,’ and all my Twitterphiles will go, ‘Hey, Sam Jackson, he’s the grammar police.’  I’ll take that,” he continued. “Somebody needs to be. I mean, we have newscasters who don’t even know how to conjugate verbs, something Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow never had problems with.  How the f**k did we become a society where mediocrity is acceptable.”

The famed actor also staunchly defended director Quentin Tarantino’s controversial use of the “N” word in last year’s hit “Django Unchained.”

“These 20-somethings can’t turn around and tell me the word n**ger is f**ked-up in ‘Django’ yet still listen to Jay Z or whoever else say ‘n**ger, n**ger, n**ger’ throughout the music they listen to,” he told the men’s magazine. “You can’t have it one way and not the other. Saying Tarantino said ‘n**ger’ too many times is like complaining they said ‘kike’ too many times in a movie about Nazis.”
