Bayou Slime and the PIP-POP Awards
65Fabulous!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, November 1, 2011. It is time for the 55th weekly presentation of the coveted PIP-POP Awards. Let's prepare our usual liquid breakfast, don our best clothes and head for the theater. This morning, in honor of Halloween, we will be mixing up a Bayou Slime. You will need 2 parts Cruzan Dark Rum, 6-8 mint leaves, 1/2 part Fee Brothers Spiced Cordial Syrup and 1 egg white.
Muddle mint leaves and syrup together. Place all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake until frothy and chilled. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with crushed mint leaves. Stroll on over to the theater being careful not to spill your breakfast. The winners and I will be waiting.
Welcome one and all. Let's begin the show on a high note. Al Gore is in the house so let's give him a big "warm" round of applause. Mr. Gore please accept this POP on behalf of all the people in the Northeast who are buried under tons of snow. Why not bring the polar bears to New Jersey? I'm sure they'll feel right at home.
Our next award is a PIP bearing the name of President Calderone on it. Please welcome Pres. Calderone to the podium. The nominating committee has chosen to honor you with this award for leading the economy of Mexico out of the doldrums. Your economy grew 3.7 percent in the third quarter, thanks to the policies of our next POP recipient, President Obama.
Naturally, the president is not available this morning. He is out campaigning, no governing, uh, no campaigning. He has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to stand in for him. Please welcome Mr. Holder to the stage. Sir, please be good enough to personally hand this POP Award to President Obama if and when you find him. He has made it possible for Mexico to get back on its feet. The country has been blessed with tons of money flowing from our country to theirs from all those illegal aliens who you and the president are trying to protect. The people of Mexico are grateful. We, however, don't feel the same way.
We are coming up on the fourth award of the morning. Let's take out a moment to sip our Bayou Slime. Our recipient is the entire Department of Energy who managed to throw our money away once again. A representative from the department is here this morning. Let's welcome him to the podium. It has come to our attention that you put us, the taxpayers, at risk for 80 percent of the interest and principle due on a loan to a company based in Canada. The name of the company is Nevada Geothermal and it only employs about 22 people in Nevada. At stake is $135 million in financing. The company isn't doing very well and may, in fact, be bankrupt by the end of the year. We hear that Senate majority Leader Harry Reid had something to do with this loan. Trust me, we are not surprised. Here's your POP. We only have one so you and Harry will have to sort things out by yourselves.
The morning festivities are drawing to a close. Before we call it a day, let's award this PIP to a gentlemen in the U.K. who called up the police to report that a UFO was hovering over his house. The UFO turned out to be the moon! We thank this gentlemen for putting a smile on our faces and reminding us that no matter how much we doubt our abilities, there is always someone dumber out there. PIP, PIP, HOORAY...POP GOES THE WEASELS...

Good morning taxlarry,
Wow, you are up before Tom! Bravo , bravo. You are right on the money and you have no typos! Enjoy the day and see you at the Inn.
Pop,
Congrats for very well deserved Pop "winners" and the Brit Pipper. Kim Kardashian deserves a Pop for her contribution to the institution of marriage. At least she made a $17 million profit.
Good day, Pop! This award ceremony is a great start to the day. All recipients certainly earned their awards. Did that guy really call the police on the moon? Hilarious!
Good morning Tom,
I can't stand the Kardashians so I chose to ignore the idiocy. See you at the Inn.
Good morning Dex,
Yes, that guy really dialed the police! Life is good... See you at the Inn.
POP:
We should make Mexico our 51st State, or if you talk to Obama our 58th, and tax them on our money in their country. Does Anyone in the Dept of Energy know anything about accounting? They seem to be on a roll giving loans to companies who are destined to go bankrupt. There is a definite issue with the solar industry. It has not taken off for a reason. It's too expensive and you don't get the return for your money. Not one person in the Energy Dept and the WH understood that? We had Obamacare and now the other love of Obama' life was alternate energy sources. What's the matter with the energy sources we have available? Look at North Dakota - and drill, drill, drill.
I wonder if the chap from U.K. had been to our pub? Anyway, great ceremony, as usual. I'm off to our pub. save me a seat....
POP - All very well deserved and presented, in your usual PIPPY Style, I nominate you for a PIP next week! See ya at the Inn, we got stuff to talk about. I'm saving a seat for you and Pino...
POP: I forgot to mention that the Bayou Slime sounds much like a mojito with protein! To the BAR!!! - I'm sitting with hmrjmr and you today. Lucky me!
Good morning Pino,
The problem is that these energy companies are receiving our money because Obama and others, like Reid are paying them back for contributions and support. This is outrageous and should be thoroughly investigated ASAP! If Obama was really interested in energy we would be drilling. The proof is in the pudding. See you at the Inn. Maybe the Moon guy will pop in..
Dear Hmr,
I look forward to seeing you at the Inn and you know I love talking to you. I want to hear all about the important work you are doing. I'll be there on the early side and I'm buying.
Dear Pino,
You win the grand prize! You're right, it's a creepy mojito!
Pops-
If only Nevada thermal would have hired me- I couldve "lost" all that money and kept it in the USA if these guys are going to throw money away at least they will keep it in USA THESE THINGS ARE WHAT REALLY TICKS ME OFF
TH
Note to Pino above: You mean Mexico is NOT our 51st state? Who knew. Certainly not Obummy.
There was after the Mexican-American War a move by leading politicians to annex all of Mexico; the opportunity was present as our troops occupied Mexico at that time.
For good or for worse the All Mexico Movement didn't gain much traction, for a variety of reasons. If it had, perhaps Mexico would indeed be our 51st state.
At any rate, Calderon deserves credit for anything positive he can accomplish in Mexico.
Pip, Pop, poop.
I walked down to the store yesterday and thought I might buy a package of ink pens. After looking at the fine print on all brands, I found half made in China and half made in Mexico and all made cheaply. I bought none. And whatever happened to the distribution of Blackfeet Indian Pens? They were very good; now available only by special order.
I'm going to the Inn to borrow a pen.
I have to tell you Breakfastpops Chris Christie came to our town of Ventnor, NJ. today and we got to meet him... and I got to shake his hand. He is terrific. He came to endorse our Republican Ticket. He is a big believer of what makes our Country Great. I just had to share the experience with you. With Men like him there is still Hope! Thanks for another Excellent Hub!
Excellent award ceremony as usual. Harry Reid is such a Wiesel its too bad he did not have a worthy opponent in the last election. My favorite, as many is several others, is the last one PIP award.
I'm passing on the Slime. I've been slimed enough lately but thanks for the thought. Well deserved awards. PIP! PIP! HOORAY and away.
The Frog
Dear tom,
They never would have given you the money to lose because you are not an admirer of Obama. See you at the Inn.
Dear Hxprof,
Calderon really should thank the US for employing his people! See you at the Inn.
Dear Patty,
Perhaps some of the disgruntled angry people in OWS should give some thought to producing some pens here in the U.S. I am sure they could get backing from some of the people backing them now. Oh wait, that won't fly, it would require work. see you at the Inn. I'll bring pens.
Dear b. Malin,
I too am a Christie fan! See you at the Inn.
Dear Pamela,
Harry is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with Congress. See you at the Inn. I've invited our UFO "seeing" PIP . Let's see if he comes.
Dear Frog Prince,
No Slime for you. How about a Bloody Mary?
Now we hear that another Obama green energy dud (Beacon) has filed for bankruptcy after receiving $43 million from unwilling taxpayers.
Beacon planned to store surplus energy from wind and solar sources on large flywheels, with magnetic bearings and in a vacuum.
Good morning Will,
We, the people, are Obama's piggy bank!
BP - I'm late, but I finally made it, read it and now sipping alka seltzer to get over it!
I was holding my own until I tried to choke down both Obama the village idiot AND Al Gore the genius weather forecaster.
It was just too much for me to handle.
Hope there's more alka seltzer at the Inn, and maybe a shot of Pepto for a chaser.
Good morning femme,
Perhaps alka seltzer should be a staple at the breakfast table. Forget the Pepto. That makes me gag just thinking about it.

Awesome awards. The last PIP is my favorite. However, there are people out there who are dumber than the gentleman in the UK. Who are they, you ask? They are the people who voted for and still support an empty suit like Obumma. I am taking my now empty glass to the bar for a refill. BARTENDER..........
