...not guaranteed to be true, nor guaranteed to be false, to be sung to the tune of “Colonel Bogey’s March”, on the model of the WWII vintage original, is hereby offered for your April Fool’s night entertainment:

Dampnut has only got one ball;

Bannon has two but rather small;

Don Junior’s are even punier;

And Eric has no dick at all!

I wrote this weeks ago, but was inspired to post it now by some of the comments in annieli’s golf diary. If anyone has heard anything similar, it’s an obvious idea and could have occurred to someone else. I haven’t seen any other versions. If anyone wants to sing it, post it on a sign, hire a loudspeaker truck to drive up and down Pennsylvania Avenue blaring it as loudly as DC noise ordinances allow, whatever, you have my full permission.

When I was a kid, I loved coloring Easter eggs. A wonderfully messy process, and all the bright colors on the shells. Then we'd have the family Easter egg hunt, and the fun of finding them. When I got older, my big sister and I would help hide them, then watch our younger siblings hunt them.

And then we had all those hardboiled eggs to eat. Even with a big family, we got a bit tired of hardboiled eggs by the time they were gone.

As a childless adult living alone, I don't have any reason to color eggs. Still, every Lent I'd look at the egg coloring kits and miss the fun. And then I got to looking at pickled eggs, and got to thinking, and looking at recipes....and now I have some colored eggs in several different flavors at Easter.

Follow me below the yolk squiggle for recipes.

Flu shot, that is. Nice warm day today on the sunny south coast of Ohio, so I was wearing a short sleeved shirt when I went shopping, and just got a convenient vaccination along with my groceries.

Have you got yours yet? Flu is going to kill a lot more Americans than Ebola will. If you don't have a real medical reason not to, better be planning to get it or celebrating having got it.

If you're an antivaxxer, please move to Antarctica posthaste. Stay away from the scientists and penguins, they never did you any harm.

So here it is, my 10th anniversary at Daily Kos. I have nothing profound to say about it. I rarely have anything profound to say, which is why this is only my second diary. Small factual corrections, occasional tag cleanup, a recipe or two, puns here and there...that's been about the extent of my contribution.

I may have coined the term "zombie" to refer to those who repeatedly return from banning. I have compared recognizing zombies to birdwatching. The one I'm best known for catching repeatedly was about as challenging to recognize as a peacock standing on your front lawn screaming.

Hunter is actually the originator of "blarp" and "wumpawumpa". I have used them a lot though.

I'm going to be in and out today, so apologies in advance if I'm slow responding to comments.

Old Smoky no more

On top of Old Smoky
They're digging for coal
They'll tear up the mountain
And swallow it whole

They fill up the valleys
With rubble and rock
The runs will stop running
The springs will be blocked

The mine owners say they're
Improving the land
They think that a moonscape
Will look mighty grand

Restoring the contour
Has gone out of fashion
Might as well flatten
Them old Appalachians

We trust the mine owners
Their lead we will follow
Like at Buffalo Creek where
They flushed the whole hollow

On top of Old Smoky
The bulldozers roar
Soon there won't be no top on
Old Smoky no more

To the tune of "On Top of Old Smoky", obviously.
