    Meeting them was wicked cool. They were signing autographs at a Jolly Jims flea market.  They really looked old though. Melody was one of the first women I was ever attracted to and who didn't love Larry in F Troop?? I watched that show every day.  Do you get the joke about the Hekawis indians?

    I believe its a play on the phrase Where the F@ck are we?

    I think saying "wicked cool" is wicked cool.

    I know you want to deliberately keep avoiding my point, but NONE of that actually proves how many WOULD have been killed had the actions not been stopped and therefore how many HAVE been saved.

     

    But back to the fact that thousands HAVE been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001 - howcome no-one seems to give a sh*t about this?

    I'll bet this one is probably claiming Hamas are the victims too now.

    It used to be not so hard to get good solid long lasting furniture but these days it's getting harder and you have to spend a lot more money for something that ends up breaking faster.

    I only buy furniture at antique shops and swap meets now.  Especially upholstered furniture.  Even if I have to spend a few hundred dollars reupholstering something, the "bones" of older furniture is sound and solid.  Everything today made in China is crap.

    Been to Tonopah, but I missed that. 

    And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
    Tehachapi to Tonopah
    Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
    Driven the backroads so I wouldn't get weighed
    And if you give me weed, whites and wine
    And you show me a sign
    And I'll be willin' to be movin'

    Yep. And Betty White, Billy Barty, and Ruth Buzzi. You have to have a certain amount of grey hairs to remember Ruth Buzzi. Not much in the looks department but I remember her appearing on Bowling For Dollars wearing some tight jeans (maybe Dittos?) and thinking her butt looked pretty nice.

    Never saw her butt, and she for certain had a 'but-her-face' thing going on.  A long time ago my mother said Ruth Buzzi poached a parking space away from my mother at a May Co store parking lot. She said Buzzi came down the wrong way and just swooped in. My mother yelled at her---so that is my best Buzzi story.

    Laugh-In was great. That and the Smothers Brothers was our introduction to the counter culture before our parents actually caught on. 

    I'm sure Betty White was a wildcat in the sack back in the day.

    Billy Barty, haven't heard that name in decades. He got a lot of work back in the day as pretty much the only little person actor for decades.  I think I remember he even had a kids TV show at some point.

    BTW, Ditto jeans could make any woman have a nice looking butt. They were like some kind of magic they were.

    I heard AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top" while shopping a Walmart and it got me pumped up and I started thinking about their upcoming gig at Powertrip while headbanging in the store.

    Wow! I'm impressed. Walmart stepping up their game.

    I wasn't shopping yesterday, but walked into one of the rare real English pups here in SoCal last night for some clam chowder and onion rings on a chilly evening--- along with shot of Jameson and Guinness chaser. And when I walked in the Animals House of the Rising Sun was playing, and that got me into a great mood.

  8. Yesterday I spent $400 at the local See's Candy Store for gift boxes.   For those who are not aware, See's Candies are the Los Angeles / west coast version of Willy Wonka; the company is 100 years old, and if you ever walk into a See's Candy store you will be unable to resist spending a lot of money.
