Labor Day weekend already. Holy shit, tempus sure is fugittin'...

 We used to have an annual Labor Day Monday event 
that thankfully involved a lot of serious drinking...  

This is the bridge on Rte. 35 between Brielle and Point Pleasant, NJ. There was a bar nearby that usta be called Union Landing - a great, family-run place that was more locals than tourists. The view you see in that picture was probably taken from there. 
Anyway, us locals used to call the summertime visitor 'Benny's' (a story for another day that involves where they came from). We - locals - would all meet up on Labor Day Monday afternoon and witness the stream of vehicles heading north over the bridge. We called it our annual 'Waving goodbye to the Bennys day'. That's what Labor Day was for us back in the day...

Yeah, right. We're so ready for some kinda Star Wars global conflict. Okay. 
We can't even get our own astronauts offa the fuckin' space station, but we can fight some futuristic bullshit against the ChiComs and the Russkies? Hopefully I'll be dead long before that clusterfuck happens. Juss' sayin'...

This comic was published 70 years ago today. Geez...
...  

Think about THAT for a minute. That is proof positive that the 
people around you are a lot stupider than you think they are...

As bad as it might be wherever you guys are, this state - Florida - has to be the global epicenter of these fuckin' geriatric old doosbags who obviously learned to drive from a comic book or some shit. There's two ways to approach this whole turn signal issue here. The first is, 96% of the old farts don't use 'em, and if you're behind somebody who has a turn signal blinking, don't believe it for one second. It's probably been blinking since when they used it to back out of their friggin' driveway.

  2. When I drive around in my 1931 Model-A Ford I always use hand signals. Some times people think I'm waving at them. Are the use of hand signals taught in the driving ed. books/classes anymore?

  3. well, here in the hills of pa we have a lot of clowns who have no idea what a turn signal does or when they should use it.
    and for some reason they all love to drive down the center of the road too ? it bad enough with the stupid deer running across the road, but add drivers that are real morons too ?

  5. I lived in Neptune and Ocean Grove. Some local decorated his car outlandishly with "Benny's Go Home" painted on his car and would cruise around the Shore. Benny's: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark and New York.

  7. I was three years old when that comic was published and I was six or seven when I started reading Beetle Bailey in the daily paper. Didn't understand most of it, but Dad [WWII] vet always thought it was funny and tried to explain it to my brother and me.

  8. Space wars is going to be more about taking out the other guys satellites and eventually protecting and replacing your own. Destroying stuff is usually much easier than ferrying humans through space. But I wonder how much of Boeing's current woes are a direct result of their DEI push.
