I grew up in a much different world, said everyone ever...

 The reality is, I don't think I'd want to live in a world that didn't change or evolve...  
 

Growing up in the 50's and 60's in Newark, we listened to Nw York City area AM radio in the old man's station wagon. One thing was written in stone - you did not fuck with the old man's buttons. He set 'em and that's where they stayed, period.
From left to right, they were: 66 WNBC (newsradio), 77 WABC (a concesiion to the kids), 880 WCBS (news and talk radio), 1010 WINS (news and talk radio), and 1130 WNEW (news and talk and old-timey music radio).
I have a station on my DirecTV that plays nothing but 60's shit. Some great memories, but a lot of stuff I honest to god never heard before. I guess when you listened to top ten shit in NYC, the rest of the country was listening to something else entirely.

I hate to admit that it took me a minute...

I keep seeing this factoid but there isn't one single bar anywhere near me that I know of that has this shit on tap. I've never had it, but if it's a light lager I'd probably dig it. In the name of science and discovery I believe I am required to go buy a 12-pack and report back to y'all on the result. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it...

A Utah man who was accused of making threats to President Biden was shot and killed in an FBI raid. The man also threatened New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg.The FBI stated that Robertson had "intent to kill, at a minimum, D.A. Bragg and President Joe Biden."
Robertson allegedly said he needed to prepare his camouflage and sniper rifle in anticipation of Biden's trip to Utah this week.

There's always a different way to see 
a familiar object. Case in point?

Someone you know must have a birthday coming up. 
How about this for a gift idea?

But ya know what? What somebody else makes for a living - even if they do the same exact thing you do except they're doing somewhere else or for someone else - is none of your fuckin' business. Anything beyond that is avarice or jealousy, neither of which are productive or worthwhile...

If the Judge allows the Prosecutor's request for a 'protection order', that judge will be restricting DJT's First Amendment rights. Ho wis that okay?

I wonder if this'll be Warner Borther's next big hit.
If you remember, this was some pretty sick shit...

  1. yur lucky (I think), my Dad (in D' Bron'x) had the pointer set on WQXR - that was it!
    $170k in 5 years is great: particularly if the pResident is re-elected; then a 6-pack of panther piss will cost only $100
    WET DOG's got the right idea - jes' stay the hell away - your state is so much better

  2. If the Judge gives the Prosecutor's request to keep President Trump quiet it will not work. Trump will not be quiet and then the Judge would be forced to jail him, which would cause the whole case to collapse.

  3. I was also surprised that Modelo is the number one beer. I see the Hispanics leaving the liquor store with a full case in each hand, and since one-third of the entire country of Mexico now lives in the U.S. I guess that explains it.

  4. Yuck. Top 40 music, where they didn't tell you what the songs were because they expected you to live in or near a big city and not live in the sticks.

  7. Back in 78 dad got a new GMC High Sierra pickup. I set all of the radio buttons to the Christian music station. The dealership couldn't figure out what was up with radio and replaced it with an upgraded head unit.
