An Irish Winter and the PIP-POP Awards
56Cheers!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Happy New Year to one and all. It is time for the 62nd presentation of the weekly PIP-POP Awards. Let's prepare our customary liquid breakfast and head for the theater.
This morning we will be mixing a warm and delicious Irish Winter. You will need 1 part Kahlua Coffee Cream, 1 part Irish whiskey, freshly brewed coffee and whipped cream for garnish. Simply combine the ingredients in a mug, stir and top with whipped cream. See you at the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dr. Hannah Appel to the stage. Dr. Appel teaches at Columbia University. The university's anthropology department will be offering a full credit course titled" Occupy the Field: Global, Finance, Inequality, Social Movement". The Professor has been heavily involved in the movement and now wishes to spread the joy. I imagine your course will be quite popular, not because of it's purpose but because it is an easy ''A". All the students have to do is mill around in the streets disrupting the lives of productive citizens. Please accept this POP and get back to your "people".
Our second POP recipient of the morning goes to the United Nations for lowering its flag in New York to half-staff to mark the funeral of ruthless North Korean dictator Kim Jong II, emphasis on the word "ruthless". Nothing further needs to be said.
Let's brighten up the New Year by bringing in some PIPS. Please welcome fellow breakfastpopper Tom Whitworth to the stage. "Thanks everyone, I'll be brief, I would like to award this PIP to Greg Gutfeld of The Five for suggesting that people quit saying. "Kicking the can down the road." Mr. Gutfeld fears he may shoot himself because he is so tired of the phrase. The nominating committee agrees. I will see to it that Mr. Gutfeld receives his award at a later date. Does this mean that I just kicked this can down the road?"
Our next "winner" is the Republican Governor from the great state of New Jersey. Please welcome Gov. Christie to the stage once again. We loved it when you said that Pres. Obama has left us "Hopeless and Changeless". That Governor appears to be the state of our union.
Our last "winner" of the morning is the recipient of a PIP. Please welcome coffee shop owner Amy Brehm to the podium. This PIP bears your name for having the courage and integrity to throw the Occupy Iowa protesters out of your shop. We loved it when you said that "We all have our rights, but not on my place." New York City Mayor Bloomberg has a lot to learn from you.
The morning's festivities have flown by and our show has come to an end. I want to thank you all for attending and I look forward to meeting once again next week. Until then...PIP-PIP HOORAY...POP GOES THE WEASELS...

Great awards. It seems to me that it is instructors like Appel that we have so many college student losers. As for the UN, it is probably the most un-useful organization in the world. As for Gov. Christie, YOU ROCK, BIG GUY! As for the coffee shop owner, I hadn't heard of this, but it is about time someone had the cajones to do something about those losers. The Irish Winter was very good. I am going to the bar to order some more. BARTENDER.............
Good morning Tom,
Go for it. You will be able to find her and her class sleeping in a tent. See you later at the Inn.
Good morning taxlarry,
Imagine how happy the parents of these Ivy League students will be to see their proteges prowling around, sleeping in tents and making garbage, all on their dime! See you at the Inn.
POP: Happy New Year!
Great ceremony, as usual! Great way to start the new year - more PIPS than POPS!
Is Dr. Appel going to teach the ways of protesting? If so, I hope he starts by telling the organizing group to make sense and have a united cause. If he was involved with the Occupy Wall Street movement, then he is a loser and his students will fail. I have always felt that the UN was a do nothing organization which should be disbanded. As for the PIPS, I love Greg Gutfeld - he is so funny and logical. I agree with him. As for Tom announcing the award, you looked dashing! I also love Gov. Christie, and cannot wait for him to become our president. As for Amy Brehm, kudos to you for standing up to these OWS protestors.
I'm off to the bar where we will start the new year off right - with POP! Save me a seat....
POP: OOPS, another typo. Dr. Appel is a she, not a he.
I don't know what is wrong with me. Ever since the then/than guy wrote to you, I've been making a lot of typos. Maybe I caught taxlarry's disease.....
BPOP - You're a piece of work woman. I reckon that's why we get along. See the occupy movement goes like this. You don't want to work but want the goodies to be given to you. Piece of cake to get an "A" in that from either the Prof or Obama. He actually encouraged their bowel movement.
The UN needs to be kicked off of US soil. I'll lend a boot and a dump truck when needed.
As far as Greg goes, if they'd stop kicking the can down the street and they won't until we kick them out of office, the term wouldn't be used so regularly.
Christie calls him like he sees him - incompetent.
Good for the shop owner. Anyone's rights stop where my property line starts too.
You go Girl! I went on a rant last night. Just couldn't help myself. I happen to want to preserve the US of A.
The Frog
Good morning Pino,
The professor is a protester who slept in a tent in Zucotti Park. Her students have to become involved in the movement in the streets in order to get credit. Perhaps they'll burn a few flags and show just how much they hate this country. No doubt plenty of their parents are in the hated 1 percent! The irony of it all... See you at the Inn. Who cares about typos, we have bigger fish to fry!
Good morning Frog Prince,
I love it when you come to the awards and I love it even more when you rant. It makes me proud to be an American! See you at the Inn.
Pop, great day at the awards for 2012! Taking off on a high note with a few turds to kick down the road, I'd love to have been in that shop when the owner tossed out the dog, Aye to the Inn!, 50
Good morning 50,
If Mr.Zucotti had had her kind of resolve, Occupy Wall Street would have landed in the Fulton Fish Market! To the Inn, 50. I'll save you a seat .
Amy Brehm's the one!!!!
Kick the UN out of NY.
POP- Started the New Year with a Bang! Great ceremony! Concur with Dusty 'cept I'd get a shovel and bury that crap instead of getting on my boots! See ya at the Inn! I'm bringing Pizza!
Hammer out of the 13 sample packs which jerky was the best?
I'll tell you what you were eating after you tell me your favorite, all were marinaded in the same flavor of my own jerk mix, then put in the numbered sacks, to me some were a give away, taste and texture but then others not so much, unless you've tried it before, LOL 50
I don't know why our leaders are so afraid to get out of the UN. When has it ever been on our side? When has it ever prevented a war? It is so blatantly anti-American that it boggles the mind that we still support it!
Well, bp, Obummy was right about one thing. He promised us change and that is exactly what we now have in our pockets. Change instead of dollars. November cannot come soon enough for me.
Dear vrajavaa,
I agree hooray for Amy and goodbye UN! To the Inn...
Dear Hmr,
Happy New Year! Can't wait to see you at the Inn. Does the pizza have pepperoni?
Dear 50,
Okay, it's a taste test for beef jerky on the agenda this evening at the Inn. I am sure taxlarry wants to participate!
Dear Will,
It really is mind boggling. The UN is a sham of an organization that has never accomplished anything as far as I am concerned. To the Inn!
Dear drbj,
The kind of change I crave is the kind that puts the Obamas back in Chicago and out of our lives and pocketbooks! To the Inn....
You had to bring up the UN! That's not a benign organization-it's downright dangerous. If it was merely a forum where nations could meet and discuss issues, fine, but it has turned into an advocate for all kinds of causes that turn my stomach. It is anti-American, but it shouldn't be pro-any nation; rather, it should be a neutral organization strictly for negotiations.
The UN is near the top of the list of organizations I'd love to see destroyed. (Gosh, can I say that here?)
Dear Hxprof,
Of course you can say "that " here. I feel the same way. Why we waste our money on this worthless organization is anyone's guess. See you at the Inn,. We really need to catch up!
Pop, I'll bring enough for all the kids and a score sheet for aster action report, LOL, 50
Dear 50,
Make sure the stuff for the kids taste like cheerios!
Great "UPbeat Awards" for the start of 2012 Breakfastpops...And a very Happy, Healthy New Year to you my friend...who always keeps us up to date with her Hubs. Thank You!
The deal with the United Nations is one more glaring reason to question why in the world we still support it? There can be NO, and I reemphasize the word NO, here, sane or sensible country, or put another way, any country with a conscience who could ever have thought that Kim Jong Il did ANYTHING for his people but oppress and terrorize them, brainwash them, and shut them out completely from the rest of the world. I've said for a while now, but I think the United Nations is no longer a force for any good. It hasn't been a worthwhile organization for a long time. It's been run by kooks, and apparently they support kooks as well.
Good morning b.Malin,
Happy New Year to you and Lover Man. Bundle up in Florida, it's just like New Jersey now!
Good morning Springboard,
The U.N. is an embarrassment and should be disbanded. They cater to dictators and allow madmen who brutalize women to sit on the Human Rights Council. We have no business being a part of t.
Can't find any disagreement with your analysis Pop.
Good Morning Springboard,
I love it when we agree!

Pop,
I may violate my own wish and kick Ms. Appel's can into the road (if a speedy semi is approaching).
