After Ed Grimly retired from show-business he lived out the remainder of his life in rural Saskatchewan, with his two wives, Norma and Leigh, on a small potato farm. He passed away peacefully in his sleep in 2018. It was a good life, I must say. Ed Brandspuds

Tennessee E.F. was well known for saying, "Bless your pea-pickin' heart." What's your catchphrase? Ernie Livin

I love these one-hit wonder bands. In June of 1967, their first single, "Rockin' Outside the Box," made it to number 37 on the Hot 100 chart in the Southwest region, based on all reporting AM contemporary stations. Remember - there's no "the" in Pandoras! Pam Amerigo

Sigmund Freud: Charlatan or genius decoder of human behavior? Noah Accidents

As part of the series, "Clarifying Elvis," we'll be taking a look at his fashion sense, which was usually quite good in the early days. But which did occasionally go astray. Baron O. DeMidriff

It's a little-known perhaps that Elvis developed his trademark lip-curl and snarl after seeing this photograph of his "normal and sincere" smile. E. Aaron Cautionside

Many people fail to remember that at one point Elvis tired of singing and decided to form a comedy duo with his partner, Moms Definitely. Boy did they have some schtick, mostly about growing up down south in a trailer park that kept getting hit by tornadoes. Hilton Tiltin

Now that the warm weather is back, my special lady says she is eager to start eating out in the yard again. I think she wants to showcase her homemade pickles. Fabia Lifestyle

"May I offer you complimentary super-late checkout?" Norman Lee Extra

Do you enjoy drinking tea? Do you have any favorite types? Morning or afternoon? T-Bone Steeper

When I was the manager of the Grass Valley Downtown Association, we were part of the California Main Street Program. So I tried to convince our merchants that for the Christmas street fair we should go with an "Exile on Main Street" theme. I didn't have that job very long. Rock Soffner

Some of the signs of "cutting loose" are hard to misinterpret. Della B. Skivvy-Shootin

Is it a bad sign when someone you had a crush on when you were 14 years old is celebrating their 80th birthday? I mean, that doesn't necessarily imply anything unfortunate does it? Aegion Gratefully

I don't hear enough from Steve, the White House Communications Director. Like how the ballroom project makes sense for average Americans. And what about all the other things that sound horrible at first blush but probably have logical explanations? I need my trepidation soothed! Steve Reassureme

God finds this to be presumptuous. God thinks to himself, "What a prick; not my best work." Owen Harshest-Critic

A lot of times when I've been out hunting for any gamey/chewy swans or egrets or whatever, and I'm wearing my lucky super-high moccasins, I like to take a moment to bend over and gently touch a flower, just in case any ladies happen to be checking me out from the bushes. Scheming Beaver

A peaceful day sounds good right now. Rowena Slowlee

I enjoy the embodied hope in new tomato plants as they start to grow. There's something fun going on in every corner of the yard - some perennial, some volunteers. Next I'm going to plant corn, beans and squash together. I'm trying to remember what the name of that group is. Nate Tivplantin

Try not to disturb the mother. Nils Udo

It's hard to resist head games but are you a "flesh off" or a "flesh on" kind of gal? Team Rick or Team Yorick? Sarah Bellemgone

Because I understand that a new broom sweeps clean and an old broom knows the corners, I use a broom that is one and a half years old. But just approximately; I'm not a fanatic about this. Dusty Panhandler

Sunday is the perfect day to go to the museum. I love the dioramas, especially the one where Jesus meets Grace Slick and reassures her that the Starship stuff is not that bad. Duane Lordswork

Fewer and fewer people use the word fewer when it is called for. Instead they use the word less in every situation. It's getting to the point where less isn't just more, it's all there is. I'm sure some of you couldn't care fewer about this but for me, that's how bad it sounds. Les Ismiffed

Back in the mid-1970s I enjoyed going dancing but because I was 5 feet,18 inches tall, I felt awkward asking women to dance if they were petite or severely hunched over. But big gals often asked ME to dance. Nothing beats providing a community service while enjoying the Robert Cray Band! Hugh Betts

When I was about 9 years old I saw a movie called "The Crawling Eye" and it really creeped me out. Even to this day, anything that remotely looks like an eye that is crawling along makes me uneasy. Iris DeMental

There are some people who die tragically young and it's hard not to wonder what kind of music they would have made if they had lived to be Willie Nelson's age. I sure would have liked to hear that flamenco album. Esteban Rey

She had her own subscription. She said she liked to read the articles, especially if there was anything like an interview with Germaine Greer. He thought it sounded good but for some reason it also made him nervous. Eunice DeFemale

If there's anything I hate, it's that dizzy, unsteady, spinning feeling I get, like there's something wrong with my inner ear. I know there's a word for it and it's right on the tip of my tongue but I just can't think of it at the moment. Kim Nonot

Life forms must be completed. open.substack.com/pub/marktrai...

The cost of living is too damn high! I'm losing weight - hell, I'm even losing a little height - and I can't buy a thrill. Byron Staples

In 1966, when I heard, "Talk Talk," I found a band that rocked the exact response for my lived experience. Which was a stretch of the imagination for a chubby, pink, 14-year-old boy with no lived experience. In hindsight, I'm just glad I didn't take to wearing one black glove. Freckles McAngst

Recently, when everyone was celebrating Mother's Day, I couldn't find a decent picture of mom. Now they keep cropping up in my "memories." So here's one from Mom's 80th birthday celebration. She was always such a good sport, considering that she never learned to swim. Ida May Triarch

Dancing - it's always been the right thing to do! People everywhere respond to music; it has a mystical grip on our brains. Madam, do the Foxtrot. Baby, do the Philly Dog. Freda Astaircase

"I don't see it either. And even if I did, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be coming for us." Wiff O. Phantasm

"I'll tell you what toots, why don't you hop into that 7-Eleven over there and get yourself something pretty?" Aldo "Aspartame" Daddy

If there's anything I've insisted upon in my life, it's authenticity. Without authenticity I believe you are building your life on sand while standing on feet of clay, plus it's a slippery slope. B. Real

Is a coin in the hand worth two bills that are Bush League? What would you do for a Donnie C note? Claude Monet-Grubber

After watching the funeral episode of "Your Friends and Neighbors," I decided it would be wise for me to plan my own post-mortem arrangements. So I've picked out a coffin and I have a band on contingency. It's not macabre, it's just being considerate. Next up: plan the menu. Mike Shurimdead

Let's meet up at the Hollywood Bowl in June. If you bring the snacks, I'll take care of the space-time continuum. Don Infront

For those who celebrate, here's wishing you a very happy Mother's Day. Take time to enjoy the simple things! Harvey T. Angatherin

We've got a prediction for 92° here tomorrow. It will be our first foray into the 90s this year. I suspect it's going to be a long, hot summer. A terrific attitude and lots of bright colors are going to come in handy if we want to avoid becoming grumpy. Or deceased, even. Cole Lingcenter

I get a kick out of those scam phone calls where someone pretends to be my grandson who needs money because he's stuck in jail in Tijuana. Ha! The joke's on them because I know my grandson is locked in my basement. I string those suckers along like trout on monofilament. Nana Datshit

I've been having fun looking through my high school yearbook from 1969. I always got a kick out of Selma and her catchphrase, "I'm gonna fuck you up." We all knew she was kidding - she actually had a heart of gold. Selma Selfshort

I don't know if it's a surprise or not but I have several friends who are women and when I ask them to describe the worst date they ever went on, it's amazing how similar the descriptions turn out to be. Les Godutch
