See this? T is for Tacos in Texas! That's where the real Grease is and not just in the tacos! Want to talk about politics? Didn't think so! |
And from my good friend in Mumbai!
After oil spills by BP in the Gulf coast, this is the latest style of oil prospecting. Collecting grease lumps on the Gulf Coast beaches.

Hahaha :D, Sylvia, I had tacos in mind, too, the full-fat kind. My mama always said not to talk politics or religion at the dinner table. good one. Have a wonderful week. Thanks for all you do!
This is soooooo funny. I'm still laughing.
Thanks for your wonderful comments throughout the year my friend. You are so sweet to me!
Hope you have a healthy and happy 2011~
This has me laughing, too. Just thinking of the grease ball politicians who have emerged from that big state!
HAPPY NEW YEAR SLYVIA !!!
I always wondered why our Jack-in-the-Box tacos are so greasey. Now I know, they are made special for Texas [I live north of Houston].
Our politics included George W. Bush as governor. He was in the oil business and owned the Texas Rangers baseball team. We have a saying, "If you don't own an oil well then buy one."

Oh Sylvia! This is too perfect! I love it! Especially about the grease in Texas politics.
I thought Texaco with the "T" but you're right-grease runs rampant elsewhere!

Whoa! This piece o' microfiction should come with a side dish of Rolaids. LOL!
Happy New Year!

they are both really good, talk about politics, haha.
I started out on the tack you took. I am so glad I changed my mind. You did Texas politics well!
Mumbai's offering is brilliant. wish I had thought of it!
Fun one. I really enjoyed it.
Great fun! Enjoyed it.
I'm back blogging now, with a new blog.
Greasy politics!? Great Gatsby!
Thanks.
hmm, don't eat tacos myself. probably just as well!
Very good, Sylvia :-)
Both of you did a great job this week. Hugs to you both! :O)
Clever and funny! :-)
A Political MFM eh?
Good one!
(Love the snowflakes)
Lol! Loved them both :O)
Texas politics are no different than anywhere else -- just bigger!
Love the allusions though!
both of these are good :)
I enjoyed both. One thing, politics sure can lead many astray!
Both are very good. Grease and politics are natural partners, aren't they?
Love tacos and I try not to think of the grease too much! Both good MM's today!

Thought provoking, love it.
happy 2011.
Oof--that second one packs a punch with its irony. The first one brought the smiles. Thanks for the two-fer.
Very clever, Sylvia! I almost didn't play this week because I couldn't think of anything. :)
oh... I really loved your story!!! :-)
Enjoyed your post! Hope you had a good New Year's.
Great one, Sylvia! Texas sure is a special place;)
Happy New Year to you. Hope it's a great one.
