"That'll be duck soup," used to be a saying that meant, "Easy-peasy," or "No problem, it'll be easy as pie."

Long time ago, before I was born.

just wait till I get through with it"

A must see. Sometimes I think the GOP - missing the point as usual - uses it as a "what to do" guide.

I will not stand for anything that's crooked or unfair
I'm strictly on the up-and-up, so everyone take care
If any man's caught taking graft -- and I don't get my share
We stand him up against the wall and POP! goes the weasel.

a friend posted a thread about the city cracking down on people who didnt shovel their walks. hilarity ensued.

bf chipped in w- hey, maybe they are old. maybe they need a hand.
me- i'm old. i have property, and i get the damn walks shoveled
bf- how much property do you own? are you single? answer the second question first.

me- hook. line. sinker.
