    Pretty cool green lit sworrrrd in Excalibur

    Nah, that's Don "She Looked 18" Henley, searching for desperados. The Robert Palmer infusion of music subthread has me thinking how great it would be if the trials and sentencing hearings were presided over by Steven Root in full on Idiocracy manic style, with sountrack by Bowie, the real Palmer, John Lennon, et al. Damn, where's my Delta 8? Bring out the IQ detectors and nip this thing in the bud. BEEEP! Right this way, sir, this is a special room for good 'Mericans like you. It's called "outside."

    Agreed, but they did vote for him whom I call The Enemy of Enlightenment. And so it has come to pass that those of us who desire to reverse the idiocracy trend must, repeat MUST diagnose why 73 million voted for TEOE and show them the light.

    In A League of their Own when the Jon Lovitz character is pressing the farmgirl milkmaid to join up, and he shows her with arithmetic how much more $ she would make playing ball, and she still is uncertain, into the uncomfortable silence he says, as if speaking to a moron, "And that would be MORE, wouldn't it?!", I always lose it. Fucking cracks me up.

    Oh yeah, and the salsa bowls were some kind of brass or copper. It was the Texas flag not Mexican with cartoon Pancho. They had big juicy burgers in a variety of styles. Ond was stuffed with bleu cheese, and to quote Cousin Eddie, it was gooooh-hood!

    Paying my respects to Sam, Mrs. Ehlinger, Jake's other family and friends, and Longhorns around the world. May something good come out of this.

    In 1969, a very good year, there was a restaurant called Jamie's across from the Shamrock Hilton on South Main. The house salsa y chips were quite good. The salsa was hot without scalding the roof of your mouth and zesty peppery without causing sweat runnels on your forehead or numbing your lips. Chips were warm, thin, strong and good and tortilla-y. Best of all, the salsa was thick and beany, meaty more like chili. An innovative bonus - each table had a centerpiece doohickey with a miniature hoistable and lowerable Texas state flag attached to a little flagpole. When you were ready to order, just hoist the flag. No hovering waitstaff - ever. You need something, raise the lone star. Great burgers, too.

    I won't. I won't. The Hell I Won't! KA-PAYOW. Thunk.

    Fort Stockton (Pecos County) is Central Time Zone

    Or Howdy Doody Time, take your pick. From AL.com: "The Alabama House voted 93-1 on Thursday following a lengthy debate on SB388, sending the bill to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey for final consideration. But making daylight saving time year-round in Alabama will only be possible through the approval of Congress." I would much prefer permanent standard time. I don't enjoy stone darkness at 7:30 am, which is what we'd have with permanent DST, at least in the eastern part of CT zone. What say you in Fort Stockton, where it would remain dark in December even longer?

    People marching along lugging truck tailgates chanting (poorly) the na-na hey-hey goodbye song. Fuck the ancestors of the asshole(s) who conceived of this, all the way back to Olduvai Gorge. And fuck the product and manufacturer, which I'm proud to say I cannot even name. I mean bravo for some dickhead designer thinking of new ways to injure and confuse consumers with a multifunctional truck tailgate, but even if it works I'm not about to take a perfectly good tailgate off my truck and put your Transformers tailgate on it, or fucking buy a truck because of the tailgate, much less walk around with it in my arms chanting Steam's only hit! No sir, I don't like it.

    I can enthusiastically recommend the audiobook Sherlock Holmes, in which Stephen Fry does a fine job with Conan Doyle's complete Holmes works. Fry's personal introduction sets the table.

    I'll watch because it's adapted from Paul Theroux's novel. Been a fan of his fiction since The Family Arsenal and of his snarky but cool nonfiction since Riding the Iron Rooster and Kingdom By The Sea. A word to the wise, Clark - ice melts in the tropics.

    Like plumage, the affordability don't enter into it. I would welcome the net after-tax proceeds of selling a Jupiter house at the mere cost of my contact info. However, privacy concerns and the miniscule likelihood of success keep me from to entering bullshit quasi lottery drawings and such.

    Well, who the fuck are you talkin' to? I guess this is a rehearsal for a hypothetical monologue but I still like it.

    Gaetz is running ads on Pensacola area TV showing campaign style video bites of his capped teeth, chin, jawbones, beady eyes and pompadour, with headline font message, "THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WORRIED ABOUT MATT GAETZ" and similar dreck, with instructions on how to donate. What a nasty little weasel. The sooner he crashes and burns the better.

    Ditto. An archive of good decisions. B-b-b-but . . . I was told . . . I could play my radio . . . between the hours of eight and ten. Root for a lifetime achievement Oscar.

    Macy, McDormand, Buscemi, Stormare and Presnell. Grand slam, walk off, game winning homer of casting. Not another word, buddy. See how you like it.

    Steely Dan

    Bama Llama replied to Go Pokes's topic in Music

    This YouTube is excellent. Love that backing vocalist Carol Leonhart, mmmm-hmmm! BabylonnN sisstahhhh, SHAKE IT! Kind of stung when I first read that their reference to my football team in Deacon Blues was a snarky put down of "a bunch of crackers using a grandiose name," but I don't give a shit. Steely Dan forever, dudes.

    The Wolf Border, by Sarah Hall. The Gray Wolf is reintroduced to Britain on the nation's largest private estate owned by a zillionaire with a short attention span. Wolves went extinct in GB ~600 years ago. Evidently there is a "wilding" move afoot in the developed world. Slow but well-written read. Now and then a languid read is nice IMHO. Every book doesn't have to be a "Cracking page-turner, sez the New York Times."
  21. Bama Llama
    Amen. This one and The Sandpiper are great back to back if like Burton rants, lovely ladies and melodrama.
  22. Bama Llama
    Ahh, yes. One of the great joys of aging. "Discovering" movies you enjoyed in the past but lost in the fog of passing years, e.g., The Quiller Memorandum, Pepe Le Moko, Cousin Cousine, Sugarland Express, Straw Dogs, M. Now where's my ginkgo biloba?

    From bullshit like this to frivolous, no-evidence will contests, the best and swiftest way to reduce the number of abusive cases is for the ladies and gentlemen wearing the black robes and holding the gavels to start assessing fees and costs against these assholes with a vengeance and awarding them to the defendants.

    Definitely ten minutes 'til Wapner. Donald Trump's Moronica was germinated in the fetid petri dish of a post-9/11 Idiocracy: This Time It's Real nation of screen watchers and social media addicts (as opposed to clever Surly posters), many of whom had never cast a vote in their lives. And now they come at you spewing constitutional law. The sad irony is that Joe and Mika often had this assclown on Morning Joe as a guest interviewee and commenter. Jaysus, Mary and Joseph.

    I hear you 52-80, but try Laura, Robert Duvall and Diane Ladd in Rambling Rose, a brilliant surprise of a small film. Duvall has several epic lines and delivers them as only he can. Laura was made for her role. Diane is a zany, bohemian metaphysician. I'd watch this one every day if I could get away with it. "That girl strikes like a cobra!"
