Another thing kids these days will never understand...
...
I think we tend to forget what an important
day of the week Saturday is for kids.
You're in school all week, and Sundays are for church and
big meals at Nana's house that usually start at 2:30 or 3:00.
But Saturdays - they even started out great. Cartoons all morning if you were lucky enough to have a TV in your house.
...
If you were lucky, they'd have a triple feature that would start around 11:00 in the morning and not let out until 4:00 or so.
...
The movie - and the cartoons and the news reels and the popcorn and candy and everything else was all great - but the number one thing that made it the great experience it was? You were there with your buddies.
...
And you had your pea-shooter with you...
...
...
...
And did we have cars. Our family cars had balls. They were manly cars, built of steel and lots of chrome. These days, there are few cars on the road that look as cool as the ones released in the 1950s. From fins to chrome accents to their candy-colored paint jobs, you couldn't - and likely still can't - help from drooling a little on yourself when you see one on the road.
...
I could go on and on about how much better our childhoods in the 50s and 60s were versus kids these days, but fuck it. That's their problem. I'm just a grumpy old guy, remember?
...
Talk about making do with what you have, how about this - this house in Puerto Rico is 5 feet wide and 36 feet deep.
...
This is an every day thing if you live in Florida.
...
Never ever had it in our kitchen when we were kids. Now I keep it just for adding in for the meatballs and stuff like that...
...
Jeez - how'dat happen?

This just in from the 'EVERYTHING OLD
IS NEW AGAIN' Department:
President-elect Joe Biden's choice to be treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, collected more than $7 million in speaking fees over the past two years from major financial firms and tech giants.
Yellen, the former Federal Reserve chair, disclosed the more than 50 speaking gigs, including to government-regulated Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Google, as part of a set of documents that move her candidacy closer to consideration by the U.S. Senate.
Yellen's was among three financial disclosures turned in by Biden transition officials that were made public on Thursday by the Office of Government Ethics.

Welcome to 'America's Friendliest Home Town'
Home to a buncha senile old coots who forgot how to drive and do most other normal shit when Nixon was in office.
Where I live there must be 500 gates going in to and coming out of different communities within The Villages. The driver of a golf cart cruised seemingly unknowingly on Thursday through the gate at the Village of Bonita. He was caught on a Villager’s dash cam, but he was also caught on gate surveillance video monitored by Community Watch. And there’s a good chance they’ll hunt him down.
Knocking down a gate will cost an 'offender' $250. And the Developer aggressively chases down about $250,000 in reimbursements each year from gate repairs from the culprits. Many repairs are paid through the gate crashers’ insurance. The old brain-dead senile ole' fuckers here must knock out 20 of these gates every day.

Bullshit. You're batshit crazy and senile. A bad combo.

Example # 14,342 of why these people
just don't give a fuck about you...
President Trump’s request for $2,000 COVID-19 stimulus checks is essentially dead after Senate Democrats on Friday gave up on using a $740 billion defense bill as leverage. The Senate easily cleared the 60 vote threshold to proceed to a vote on making the defense bill law over Trump’s veto. Democrats led by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders had used the override vote as a last stand in favor of the $2,000 checks, which passed the House on Monday.
... Have you ever given any thought at all to what TV programmers today think of us?
Do you think they even understand that we are semi-smart with some manner of value systems? The easy answers are no and no...

Ya know why shit like this happens every day?
Every single fuckin' day? It's simple. Given the chance to act like a complete selfish, self-serving jerkoff, most people will leap on the opportunity every chance they get...

There's nothing funny about your own personal safety.
Readers here have told me that not only are they buying them for themselves, they're buying them for their kids, their girlfriends and their wives. I think that's a great idea. Better safe than sorry is the best way to be these days...
There are a couple different strengths available here - find the one that's right for you:

This is something worth considering:
Another new phenomenon of the COVID bullshit?
Quarantine jumpers.
The boat left Bimini, Bahamas, on Monday and was supposed to arrive in Lake Worth, Florida, on Tuesday. The Coast Guard suspended the search on Friday night. The boat was thought have had around 20 people on board. Rescuers searched 17,000 square miles when it was three days behind schedule. Officials have not released information about who was on the boat.

Like I said. One a day (at least) until they're gone.

Remember what I said about people given the chance to act like a jerkoff? Did that register with you? A Chicago Teacher's Union leader is under fire for pushing for remote schooling as she vacations in the Caribbean. Sarah Chambers, who is on the CTU's executive board and serves as an area vice president, has been claiming it is not safe for Chicago public schools to reopen next Monday amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But that hasn't stopped her from jetting off on holiday to Puerto Rico - an island that has clocked more than 110,000 cases of the coronavirus.

DeleteMost shredded cheese now has cellulose added to "prevent caking" It's wood fiber they're using to cut cost. Kraft's parmesan is no exception. I buy my parmesan by the block and grate it myself.
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge there is no actual 'Parmesan' cheese - that's an Americanization of the word...
DeleteActually, the Parmasan made in Reggiano, Italy is, under EU law, the only Parmesan that can use the name Parmesan in Europe. Here, anyone can use Parmesan but not Reggiano. The Parmesan made in Reggiano is the best Parmesan I've ever tasted, by far. If you've never tried it, do yourself a favor. The wheels have Reggiano stamped continuously on the outside of each wheel so even small segments will have some of the distinct lettering.
DeleteIt's Parmigiano. Parmigiano. Not to beat a dead horse, but that cheese is Parmigiano-Reggiano. There is no Parmesan in Italy. None. Zip. Nada. Niente. You can look it up.
DeleteYes you're correct, my spelling is atrocious.
Deletefrom wikipedia
Both "Parmigiano-Reggiano" and "Parmesan" are protected designations of origin (PDO) for cheeses produced in these provinces under Italian and European law.[1] Outside the EU, the name "Parmesan" can legally be used for similar cheeses, with only the full Italian name unambiguously referring to PDO Parmigiano-Reggiano.
