Today's best line: I loved the Llama so much, I wondered what it would sound like if I had 2 Llamas. - review of the Way Huge Red Llama guitar pedal
Idiot Governor says a few more things can open, but not til July 3rd.
Clueless power-grabbing ass, who must have left his virology doctorate at home.
The Philadelphia Parking Authority, featured on the vast wasteland that comprises bad tv, showing up on Parking Wars, will be resuming their nefarious activities. Strange.... we can't go into businesses, yet the places we'd need to park are strictly enforced. Just what we'd expect from Mayor Spineless, who never met a cent he couldn't take from someone to advance his namby pamby agenda(s). I have nothing against the Authority; they're doing their job, and the idiots who park where they shouldn't, deserve what they get. We'll add Idiot Governor, who hasn't done a thing, aside from holding onto his godlike power over the entire state. The good news is that contactless payment is available. You can pay for your parking spot without fear of the Flying AIDS, then turn around to see the Mr Urine, napping against the bank. And he's not wearing a mask!
My latest billion dollar idea: laptop and external monitors that repel dust.
Belated and double Happy Fathers Day.
As for me, I asked Penny, of the Elite Spaniel Squad, for a laptop. We'll see how it works out. She doesn't say much, so it's difficult to figure out what she's up to. I told Mrs lefty I wanted a new amplifier. This could work out to my advantage, provided they don't talk to each other about it.
UPDATE: radio silence from Penny, but I won an auction for a very interesting amp. I won, I paid, and I got my money refunded. "Gee, we're sorry - we sold it out of the store and someone forgot to take it off the site." Well. that's customer service. He could have offered something... "I'm really sorry for that. It shouldn't have happened. Pick something from the store and I'll see to it that you like the price. Or we'll give you free shipping." This is how you gain and keep customers.
A very special Fathers Day to the fathers who left us.
If only we could tell them...
The Food and Drug Administration has a Generally Regarded as Safe list
I don't know about you, but I'd feel safe taking medicine from that list.
I would not take medicine from the Sometimes Regarded as Safe list or the You Really Shouldn't Put That in Your Mouth list, as well as the You Took WHAT? list.
With the recent closure of SETI, I wonder what we listen for coming from space. SETI was a colossal waste of money and time. SETI was also colossal in size. What sorts of things should we listen for? People say the aliens see our tv shows from space and avoid Earth by any means necessary. Let's think 'outside the box (I hate that phrase)...
- like Earth, every civilized society has a lowest common denominator. So Really Bad TV might show what the Great Unwashed are up to. The aliens must think we're all the lowest common denominator
- If SETI proved anything, it was that there's nothing doing within its receiving range.
- Get the remote viewers on it (Men Who Stare at Goats)
- Ask Barbara Streisand
- We may not have to strain the range of our equipment. In fact, we may not need the equipment. It is said that if we look hard enough, we will find what we're looking for. Perhaps closer than we think.
2 big 1970s artists:
The Captain and Tenille
The Carpenters
The Captain (Daryl Dragon) died years ago.
Karen Carpenter (Karen Carpenter) died more years ago.
Coincidence?
Useless trivia:
The Captain (Daryl Dragon) and his wife, Toni Tenille (Tony Tenille) had humongous hit with Love Will Keep Us Together. It came from every speaker in every radio on every station for a year. This was particularly confusing to the talk radio station's listeners. The Captain was noted for his captain's hat, a very silly head covering. It turned out his hair was green, from a suspicious groupie incident, and the hat hid his shame.
It was later discovered that Toni (Tony) was a male impersonator, and all her vocals were done by Joe Biden. Joe was replaced by Betty White when he started to forget the words. The group recorded a version of Muskrat Love, at which point the entire country sat there, mouth agape, and turned off the radio in unison. Not a bad idea, when you think about it...
The Carpenters were Karen and Richard Carpenter, siblings. Karen had a very good voice, and played the guitar. This was a minor problem, as they used to sit her behind the drums. Richard played the piano (allegedly) and pretty much sat there. Later on it was discovered that he was a major prankster and had bipolar disorder. They had to glue him to the piano bench, so he wouldn't get up to anything. Several band members disappeared under suspicious circumstances on tour, but they managed to keep it quiet. They were never found.
Karen (Caren) unfortunately developed anorexia and died, which put quite a dent in the band, from which it never recovered. To this day, Richard roams the streets of Cleveland, asking passers-by, "Don't you know who I am? I played piano for Karen Carpenter." 20 years later, it was discovered they were more than brother and sister. The comeback tour will feature Richard, with Nancy Pelosi on vocals, who looks borderline anorexic herself.
Vietnam is the largest nation without Flying AIDS deaths.
Apparently Agent Orange kills it.
ThermionicEmissions gives you tentative proof of God: the Philadelphia boy who is in the hospital, after being shot 12 times.
