For the record, having grown up in an Italian -American household and neighborhood, we NEVER called them 'wife-beaters'. They were affectionately referred to as 'Guinea-T's' in our house, and, being Italian ourselves, we didn't give a fuck if that term offended anybody. That's evidently not the case nowadays.
The infamous white undershirt worn by Marlon Brando’s brutish husband character in 1951’s “A Streetcar Named Desire” (left) has been replaced by the more Gen Z-friendly “wife pleaser” worn by A-listers like “The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White.
And this whole 'influencer' thing just pisses me off anway. Juss' sayin'...

His grandson had been heating oil to make fried chicken or some shit and evidently got a phone call and left the house and didn't come back for like an hour, at which point this was going full scale.

Workers in the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in San Francisco were ordered to steer clear of the building “for the foreseeable future” as crime in the city continues to skyrocket.
Officials at the US Department of Health and Human Services advised its hundreds of federal employees to indefinitely work from home rather than risk commuting to the downtown tower, which has become a hotspot for street drug deals in recent months.

Even though we had a gas dryer in the basement, when my frandmother, who lived with us on the weekends (story for another day) did laundry, she'd always hang it out in the back yard on a thing just like this one. Even in the winter. Go figure.

Back in the 90's a local tire shop got caught dropping roofing nails on parts of I-285 and I-85. An unmarked county cop saw the nails bouncing out from under the roll back wrecker. It turned out the Tire shop had been doing the nail drop on a irregular basis every few months for over a year.
ReplyDeleteSo what does the kitchen remodel run?
ReplyDeleteThe one about the framing nails spilled on the road causing flat tires -- Reminds me when I was growing up I worked at my father's Amoco gas station in Ft Lauderdale. Whenever someone came in with a nail in the tire we would plug it (they don't do that anymore). I'd show them the nail, and they would invariably say, "I wonder where I picked that up." Now, think about that question; it's a nonsense question because it is impossible to answer. So I would always say, "You know, a few days ago a truck carrying nails tipped over on the road at Commercial Blvd. and 18th Ave and spilled nails all over the road." Of course, no such thing happened, but they would always reply: "Well, that must be where I got that nail." I was just trying to help them feel better . . .
ReplyDeleteBox of nails 'falling' out of truck? Yeah, right. I've seen this twice in Portland. Cannot believe either incident was accidental. Unfortunately, the first event was on a bridge getting the hell outta Portland.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Manhattan comparison photos from 1943 (showing the busy docks) and 1993 (showing the Twin Towers) as well
ReplyDeleteHere in central Texas we have oodles of "south of the border types" that are "handymen". Lawn care, roofers, etc. They always throw the scraps in their UNCOVERED trailers. I've had more flat tires down here due to nails.
ReplyDeleteOh and we plug them. But only up to three times; can't trust a tire beyond three plugs.
Shoulda mentioned the part of town where the dope dealers and hookers hung out, just to see if they'd admit being there.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet some of Trump's mandatory court appearances will coincide with his campaign rallies on the other side of the country.
ReplyDeleteMaybe SF will call 'em "Johnny Cabs" as in "Total Recall"
