Ko-Ko. That's very good. (Girls indulge in suppressed laughter.)
Pooh-Bah. I see nothing to laugh at. It is very painful to me to have to say "How de do, little girls, how de do?" to young persons. I'm not in the habit of saying "How de do, little girls, how de do?" to anybody under the rank of a Stockbroker."

I know The Mikado, not verbatim though. I certainly haven't seen all G&S, but I did enjoy both Pirates and Gondoliers. You have to love someone who can use the phrase "protoplasmal primordial atomic globule". Seriously.

Kiss my ring.
Just went to the organic market and got some black elderberry syrup and Umcka. Feeling a crappy sore throat coming on, and D has pneumonia.
We have yet another big storm coming in Thurs night. My mom has already let me know she's staying with me. lol. Speaking of moms...I took her grocery shopping this morning. She gets food stamps (she qualifies legally for them, but she really doesn't need them) She hasn't been using it all so I told her she was going to buy groceries for my niece (single mom). I filled her cart with juice boxes, granola bars, lunch stuff and some frozen prepared stuff (my niece works a lot and can't cook very well... She SHOULD receive food stamps but doesn't qualify). My mother was having a hissy the whole time. She is such a selfish, stingy you-know-what. Grrrr. BUT, I won, and now the person who really needs the free food is getting it.
