I’m friends with 3 retired cops, and they all tell stories about crazy people they were stuck working with, but even they don’t have any idea how to “fix it” without getting rid of Qualified Immunity, both for cops and as importantly, prosecutors who “never saw” evidence that clears defendants. There was a case near…

All ketchup is garbage IMHO, sweet, or non sweet. It belongs in the trash.

I can’t believe a guy I know who has never had a single good word for any union, including the one he belongs to, is telling me that he is entirely on the rail worker’s side in this mess.

I would love to hear the GOP big shots in GA talk about why of all people, they would pick someone like Walker. Between his past actions, and his present mental problems, I can’t believe they couldn’t find anyone better as a candidate. But I really don’t understand the GOP at all anymore, not that I ever really did. 

There was a local guy who was a member of the John Birch Society, and about the biggest winger in the area that I ever heard of, at least back about 1980 or so. His kids were miserable, both ended up with drinking problems, only the daughter got through it, the son died of an alcohol and sleeping pill combo that…

That works too, but when I worked security at a dive Las Vegas casino, the tough ones who said anything like, “Do you know who I am?”, would collapse into a blubbering basket case when it didn’t save her from a trip to jail. But once in a while, you would get one that claimed connections, and did have them, and would…

Oh no no no no no! As my late mother said when she realized the feral cats she was feeding had a very big Skunk buddy with them. I hadn’t seen her move that fast in years. We lived in the “Skunk Triangle”, so it shouldn’t have been a huge surprise, as it’s known they hang around with cats. The local animal control was…

They were everywhere when I was a kid, I used to buy the cherry ones most of the time, and the lemon ones the rest. A couple of years ago, a friend and I went to one of those “old candy” displays in a store, and there they were. I bought a whole box of the Cherry, 10 rolls, I think, and went through them pretty…

Ordering ahead, in my long experience, is asking for them to screw up your order. It happens about 50% ordering ahead, but maybe only 30% on arrival. My dogs used to get a lot of messed up food because of the mistakes made.

I never got a pet for Christmas, but I got to pick out one for my birthday, and it worked out well. One time it didn’t was in 1990, a friend of mine spent like $75 on this huge dog treat assortment. It was a great deal, the “bones” in that box were like $12-14 each normally, and I warned him before he opened it up,…

No mug shot of her with tears running down her face? No video of them fighting with her? So disappointed..

2001:A Space Odyssey being #1 on one of those lists is crazy to me. I saw it when it first came out, and thought it was an overlong boring drag, with great special effects. I’ve watched it several times since, and my opinion doesn’t change at all. If I had to pick a #1, it would probably be The Godfather: Part II. I…

A friend of mine had a leased (One of the few times leasing made a lot of sense)Windstar, and it had 7 transmission replacements over the 36 months he had it. On one replacement, it’s lifetime was measured in feet as it died before it got off the lot. I’ve known him for over 35 years, and even though every Ford (and…

Sadly, he’s high on my list of children of celebrities having a not too distant in the future story about them that’s titled something like, “Chester Hanks: His tragic story!”, or something similar on Huffpost or People magazine at the checkout counter.

Sounds about right. He almost always had either some work done on the engine, like the Imp’s 440, or he got a “dealer installed” one. His cousin the dealer told him the Ventura “Is pretty much the fastest car I’ve ever sold here” and he had some pretty hopped up cars for sale, he retired about the time the gas crunch…

I remember someone at a cookout back maybe about 1963 or so putting cream and something else in her Pepsi. Not a fan at all, make mine just the way it comes out of the bottle...

My late mom loved Fazoli’s. A lot of the time, when I was taking her to the doctor or whatever, I would get something somewhere else, as I despise tomato and cheese anything, and she would get a couple of things, and have half for lunch the next day. I remember going over there to get her lunch one day, and it was…

10. Chocolate Orange

I don’t normally have fantasies about politics, but seeing real pics of Gaetz and/or Trump in an orange jump suit would make me happy as hell. 

When I was 5, my aunt and uncle gave me a set of drums. Really nice barely used ones that weren’t toys, they came from a neighbor’s estate sale, and my mom was super pissed at them for giving them to me. My mom asked me about a week later, would I want to keep them or sell them to a neighbor’s kid who played them and…
