  28. Obama's Olympic bid speech text....

    come here today as a passionate supporter of the Olympic and Paralympic Games...

    I come as a faithful representative of the American people, ...

    I know you face a difficult choice...

    I’ve come here today to urge...

    I chose Chicago nearly ...

    I fell in love with the city...

    I still call home...

    I met the woman you just heard from ...


    And that's just in the first 3 short paragraphs......

  29. Sasquatch, why are you under my chair?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I knew somebody would pick out all the cashews before I got to the bowl. Brazil nuts are all that's left.

  35. Wonder how many sexual harassment lawsuits are gonna be filed re: the Letterman revelation? Prolly gonna end up costing more than the 2 mil extortion money.

    ReplyDelete
  36. AW

    There is a PROFOUND difference.

    Letterman is a leftard -- whatever he does is therefore worthy of praise.

    Samford in a conservative -- he is an evil hypocrite and must therefore be exposed, humiliated, and punished.

    Lather, rinse, repeat.

  44. I was listening to WLS on line today and with all the moaning and gnashing of teeth on losing the Olympic bid, a local news guy who was traveling with the delegation that went to Copenhagen said, "Brazil??? Talk about lack of infrastructure, You can't even flush toilet paper in Rio."
    Meee-ow!

    Round for ETR.

  54. Way to go, Erik. As a former smoker, I commend you on your accomplishment. Are you using anything or did you go cold turkey, Me, I went on nicorette for three years.
    ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Erik,

    I congratulate you on that. I know it's hard.

  56. WLS

    Sometimes I still can pick WLS at night down south.

    I always associate it with lame Rock on the AM dial back in the days I was driving a Gremlin that only had an AM radio.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I will be a gentleman and walk Miss Helen to the cab.

    ReplyDelete
  58. redstateredneck said... Are you using anything or did you go cold turkey,

    Chewing the gum. Mostly only when I am drinking thought. Which is why I crack my first beer at 7am.:)))

    ReplyDelete
  59. Thanks Lucius. Be careful though she might cop a feel.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Sas is still shaken up.

    Just imagine. It's dark in your room. Somethings moving toward you. You can't make it out.
    You clap twice to turn the light on and.........

    need I go further.

    WLS was the radio station of my youth. Late at night we could get Bleeker Street out of Little Rock. Real rock music. Good times!

  63. Okay. I've got my faux champagne, my Cheez-It crumbs (thanks a lot, squatch!) and the last (best) half of Rear Window is on TV.

    See you all (okay, one, maybe two of you ;-) at fruitcup! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Careful on the gum, Erik.. You can o.d. on it. Believe me! Especially when drinking. I finally weaned off the gum onto regular sugar free gum which I always have on me.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Good Night lol. Not me on Saturday morning. Please save it for me.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Bleeker Street out of Little Rock.

    Wow. I'd forgotten all about that.

    Careful on the gum, Erik..


    The damn stuff gives me hicups. I maybe chew 5-6 pieces a day max. I tend to chew it and take it out after a few minutes. I can chew the same piece for hours. Before I stopped smoking I hated chewing gum and would moan at my girls if they did. Now I have no leg to stand on.

    I would "park" the gum on the roof of my mouth. I sounded like I had a speech impediment for the years I was on the Nicorette! BTW, the WalMart "Equate" brand is much cheaper and just as good.

  78. Obama’s Olympic failure will only add to doubts about his presidency

    From the Times of London, no less.

    See you tomorrow, I hope. Our 9-year old granddaughter was rushed to the hospital late this afternoon, as she had a group of worrisome symptoms that came out of nowhere. She has had some tests, and will have more. She was watching TV earlier, and whe feels fine now, but there are times I wish I was not a retired RN, as the symptoms scare me.

    She has to be in for at least 2 days, and I just pray we get some type of preliminary diagnosis tomorrow. They will be doing scans,blood tests, MRI's, etc., and she is far braver than the rest of us in the family.

    The school nurse called my daughter in law at home, and she went to get her at her school, called her pediatrician, who told her that he would meet them in the ER at an excellent childrens' hospital. My son met them there, also, and he is a basket case. Every time our phone rings? Ugh.

    She is calmer than all of us put together, but we can't visit for now, damn it. Just her parents.

    She was a micro-preemie, who weighed 1 lb. 8 oz. at birth, and amazes us. We call her the Energizer Bunny.

  80. Do y'all know the origin of the name Steely Dan:

    STEELY DAN
    A dildo in the William Burroughs novel 'Naked Lunch'. According to Burroughs, the first Steely Dan was a metal dildo that an evil German bulldyke prostitute crushed using her nether regions, and the second Steely Dan is still in use.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Here you go Pink. Be careful though, it might make you a little "frisky". LOL

    ReplyDelete
  82. I will try Equate, Red. I buy from Costco's which is half the price from a pharmacy. Will price Equate tomorrow. I HATE WalMart BTW. But go because their price is so damn good. I go early or very late.

  83. OMG, Redstate, I had no idea.

  102. Kinda like this blog...no static at all.

    Can you dig it?

    ReplyDelete
  103. L/S - indeed. Aja is one of those albums that still sounds fresh today. If you have a chance, snag a copy of "The Making of Aja", the DVD - it's so good. Each musician on the project breaks down the process they went through in the studio to create the tracks - it's so cool.

    D/D! I've seen them five times! LOVE Steely Dan. I wish they weren't flaming lefties, but whatcha gonna do?

  131. Such good music by such whackjobs.

    Yeah, they're pretty bad in interviews...but thankfully, I don't think I've heard them say anything on stage about it.

    Michael McDonald was touring last summer and he had to do a little campaigning for Obama, and so did Stevie Wonder when I saw him last summer, and the fall before (I think it was in the fall - Ste. Michelle Winery in the Seattle area). Both times, he just had to go on a long lefty detour.

    It almost ruined it for me.

    Almost.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Do you put shrimp in your white chili?

    ReplyDelete
  133. Was there a law in the late seventies that required Michael McDonald to sing backup on every album released? It sure as hell sounded like it.

  137. re: Do you put shrimp in your white chili?

    Not yet, but I will now. It's chicken and northern beans and green chilies. Lots of cumin and (sounds strange) a block of cream cheese at the end. Not authentic, but I do my "bowl of red" pretty well also.

    Yep -- just because they have talent in one area doesn't mean they have it everywhere.

    That's one thing I've appreciated about Steely Dan -- not a lot of political content to their songs.

    Try adding some de-headed, peeled & deveined shrimp the last ten minutes or so of cooking. Don't want to over cook them---they get mushy.
