Somehow, I managed to not know who Queen was until a drunken friend danced and lip-synced to their music in his tiny apt. in 1977. I only knew their music from sports events (and I hardly ever watch any sportsball). Did I live in a bubble - yeah, I suppose since I was an acid-head and my listening leaned towards…

Unfortunately, the US only printed $10,000 bills (I got to hold one b/c my father was the executive VP of a bank celebrating its 50th anniversary) so he will have more tears for the lack of million dollar bills. The 10k bills were easier to ship around the country to balance books than the equivalent gold; they were…

When I was first introduced to weight training (60 years ago), the formula went: 3 sets of 13 reps at a weight - if you can do them, increase the weight until you can’t complete the 3 sets then keep trying until you can do the 3 sets then increase the weight. Rinse, repeat. Since I am finally getting back to basics,…

I do not normally comment on people’s looks but... I can not imagine him getting laid w/o force being involved. That is one creepy dude.

There is no term limit for lobbyists - think that through, please.

Our Vice P. calls his wife ‘mommy’ - it is nauseating just typing that.

Sock puppet for Sammy

I have played that game - it is called Car Wars. Great vid!

I feel I should blame someone that I did not know about Mitski in time to see her concert here in Seattle - Ima have to blame you, Hazel Cills.

To paraphrase Frank Zappa: I am not a woman but sometimes I wish I could say I am not a man.

Apparently, Kinja hates me! I’ve tried ‘drag-and-drop’ and— oh, look what I just did!

Wow! “a washed up actress looking for a pay out” - just WOW. I do not even want to look at your posting history to see if this typical or not.

Abbey was the only reason I watched NCIS but I would never consider offering support for Pauley based on that (and, after following your links, I gotta believe something like Stockholm Syndrome might explain).

I shouldn’t denigrate someone for his looks but Weinstein’s wife may have been relieved that he relieved himself elsewhere.

I think that is what happened to GroupThink (yes, I am an olds); they kept banning everyone until no one was left. When I started posting there, it would take me hours to scroll through all the new posts - then I got banned (I had a bad day and temporary ban would have been just). The last time I went back, there were…

Damn! Great find - I think I found another rabit-hole to dive into.

I just overload; I look, shrug and walk away - stepping over junk. Every time I start to tidy up, I move one thing to where it is supposed to be and there are 2 things to move before it can be set down.

One thing that bothers me about using Buffet as a role model is his abuse of mortgage loans through his trailer-trash business (mobile-home high cost business).

When I was working at a local restaurant in the late ‘70s, I bought some ‘Shrooms from a co-worker but forgot them in the freezer. A sous chef found them and started screaming about drugs, drug dealers, and so on. A line chef grabbed the bag, dropped the ‘shrooms into a pan, made and ate a really good omelet. He had…

Yep, I had the same issue with a friend who transitioned in the mid-70s; I would occasionally mis-gender him and get kicked in the shins for it. I finally stopped that shit by saying “He has been my friend for years and will understand and forgive me when I use the wrong pronoun - but don’t you ever kick me in the…
