Just further proof of what a car wreck of a production it was...zeni likes it.

No, you don't. It was atrocious. The best thing about it was the LPs all came in so badly warped the tonearms would hop across the vinyl. An embarrassment to everyone involved, it was surprising everyone's careers weren't totally destroyed.

Nope - Larry Lujack

Here's another - he was "Charming & Delightful"...

I don't get what's so hard to believe about NASA playing rednecks on the moon? We got there, left a bunch of trash, abandoned vehicles and planted a flag. U-S-A U-S-A...!

Don't forget Alan Shepard's golf ball. Yeah, we landed on the Moon.

Just go on aol, you'll get a ton of cookies.

Or "Buzz", or "Thumper", or EUCHRE!!!!

I think I'd like to wipe the floor with all of you at Trivial Pursuit...or chess. Or Quarters.

Like I said early on, you got some of the money up front instead of as a rebate. Unfortunately, if you live in a state that has an Income tax, that means they dinged you more because you had more take-home pay.

I was broadening the prescriptions to patients of all ages. While prescribing booze may have its own issues, it's still cheaper and probably easier to walk away from.

Little known fact - those are the original lyrics to Purple Haze - "S'cuse me while I get brisket faced...(baddada badadi badadi)"

Sorry, did I sound po'd or something? Don't think my Dad's DeSoto had seatbelts.

We were tougher back then, zeni. Our playground slides were metal, jungle gyms had exposed bolt heads & nuts, most playgrounds were built on concrete or asphalt. We had lead in our paint, our water pipes and our gasoline. That which did not kill us, only made us stronger... However, what it did to the genes we contributed to our descendants...eating Tide Pods??? Seriously? You kids ain't right.

Hey, it worked! I'm still here & it was by Dr.'s orders. Probably more responsible than handing out opioids or 90% of the stuff advertised on TV (the commercials that are immediately followed by a commercial for an attorney suing the pharma because of the side effects of the drug on the previous commercial)...way, way cheaper too.

You have electrical powers, but it's just stock in Com Ed and PG&E. I want the power to stop world hunger.

But I already have that when I ingest fructose.

You have the power to be invisible, but only to the people you love. I want the power of having no superpowers whatsoever.

Years ago (1981), this goofy movie came out that helped to start the Nostradamus craze. It was called "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" and was narrated by Orson Wells, giving it some air of credibility. In the movie, there was this ridiculous scene of household appliances attacking humans. I think that one of the things was that the guy's tie got caught in the blender. Really wacky stuff, presumably based upon one of MdN's quatrains. Very far fetched. Just read another article today about a young family that got hacked through their smart thermostat (didn't use 2 factor) and all their smart stuff in the house was compromised. They caught on because they heard a man's voice in their baby's room. The father ran up there & looked around but found nothing. He took his kid downstairs, then found the thermostat had been turned to 90F. Then they heard a voice in the basement. The guy was now talking directly to the man, threatening him, using racial slurs & profanity. Using the families smart cams, he could see exactly what they were doing as well, wherever a cam was. They've got the authorities investigating. Weird that something that was sooo off the wall (appliances attacking humans, well before the internet became public) is now perfectly feasible. EDIT - Right after posting this, my internet went down. Creepy.
