What sort of commy, socialist bullshitter has a name like Wayne LaPierre. I hope I don’t offend anybody here…but the two most detested boy names on my list are Trevor and Wayne. My MIL once suggested that I call one of my boys *Trevor* – I gave her a withering look and we never spoke of it again.
I googled La Pierre, because I felt like it. Do you know what it means in French?
Pierre - Stone
Âge de la pierre – Stone Age
We would translate this into Irish as – he is as thick as a brick. Well, I haven’t a word of Irish, but I’m sticking with that transalation. And judging by his appearance with Chris Wallace today, even Fox News is aghast.
If *ThickBricks* likes guns and killing people so much, then why didn’t he fight in Vietnam?
Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s fanatical executive vice president and a career lobbyist, didn’t avail himself of the right — or the duty — to bear arms during Vietnam, allegedly getting himself a medical deferment instead.
Don’t know if he is as thick as a brick, but he is as dumb as a brick. He who has security for himself thinks the rest of us can hire “guns” to protect out children and me, for Gods sake if and when I get to the mall or a theater. I doubt I could pick up a gun, let alone pull the trigger and somewhere in there aim! He is nothing more than part of the right wing fear machine to sell guns for the manufacturer and get the goonies to threaten President Obama. He’s like the little boy who always cries wolf. Soon people will stop paying any attention. He has nothing worthwhile to say. He’s as affective as a fart in a windstorm. His teeth are disgusting. He needs to gargle bleach for his teeth and his words!
For any readers unfamiliar with the Irish and British words meaning stupid, dumb, intellectually challenged etc. here is a preliminary list -
Thick as a brick.
Thicker than two short planks.
Plonker.
Bell-end.
Knob-end.
Knob head.
Knobber.
Pillock.
Saft in the heid (Scots)
Wonder how I can work all of those into a conversation this week!
Will I get arrested if I say them in public. I know the last one! I watch Craig Fergeson all the time and I’m learning his language. 
You forgot fecker!
If anyone can work them all into a conversation, MrsGunka, I’m betting on you.
And for next weekend – gomeril, gype, neapheid – all nouns as in: Wayne is a donnert wee gomeril yammering a load of codswallop.
My grandmother would say “capa tosta” (or cabba dos’ as it came out in Neopolitan”)
How’s this Forty Watt? Translated into American speak:
If Chris Cristy who is thick as a brick and thicker than two short planks were to sit his plonker on the planks, they would split down the middle, turning the bell-ends up thus pinching his “Knob-end/Knob head into a gigantic, throbbing Knobber that would attract a meandering pigeon to wander over and pillock his knobber with sharp,knife-like beak as quick as a jack-hammer thus rendering him Saft in the heid!….both of them.
One of my favs, is ‘Codswallop’.
Is that translatable? It sounds disgusting. No?
Ironically, but not accidentally, the sunday Doonesbury strip today was a repeat from a couple of years ago – - even more biting today.

What are we as a nation thinking?? Not much.
My mother’s famous saying…”Everyone’s crazy but me and thee, and I have my doubts about thee! That kinda describes our country right now, doesn’t it!
It does indeed! Would that we remember we’re all Jock Tampson’s bairns.
Critical thinking has been removed from public schools.
Thinking independently, unheard of
We are but of the collective mind now
keep it up, soon you shall have your way
won’t be as pretty as it sounds we fear
You, never offend me. It’s jackasses like this dweeb who offend me. You were actually a lot nicer than I would have been.
His mouth looks suspiciously like the one belonging to the Grinch. Just sayin’
Wow – you are so right!

“Really don’t mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper your deafness a shout.
I may make you feel but I can’t make you think.
Your sperm’s in the gutter. Your love’s in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and you make all your animal deals
And your con men all know how it feels to be as…..
Thick As A Brick.”
I can’t read about thick & bricks without humming a little Jethro Tull. And yes, a couple words have been changed.
By the way, I LOVE codswallop! Good One!
Irishgirl, you might be interested in the new post at IM. Catholic Church of Ireland sending girls to work in a laundry 12 hours a day for up to 5 years and no pay for prostitution and having a baby out of wedlock…1936 -1996 I believe. The survivors are not happy with the apology from the church and government. Is this something newly discovered?
Yes, Mrs G. It is big news over here. It went on for years. What happened was simply awful and there is no excuse for it. Heads should roll. Unfortunately I picked this week to paint the room my computer is in and I haven’t had much access to the pooter. I’ll try and write something about it later.
