  1. Along with 99 44/100% of the internet and 100% of what comes from the orange orifice (the one with the capped teeth in it). The Friday/Saturday timeline’s not adding up to me.
  2. Call Davenport and Flowers. They’ll clean this up before dark.
  3. Jesus, get all the factual fackity fuckin facts before detaining, arresting or shooting anybody or blaming anyone or anything (except this fake cop asshole).
  4. @ 2:09 - if that doesn’t shake up your hemoglobin, you are deceased
  5. 1968 . . . 2025. These guys had it right. FOUR MINUTES TO TWELVE, AND THERE’S A MADMAN AT THE WHEEL
  6. Bless you, Bateshorn, your avatar alone will be enough to bring down this motherfucker, this Enemy of Enlightenment, this orange coated basilisk of bufgoonety. the mere sight of Elizabeth Taylor in Giant gives me hope and joy all at the same time. Keats wrote, “Beauty is truth and truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know.” Damn right. That tanned and luscious Liz in a bra in her prime avatar should be enlarged and affixed to giant signs and banners. Trump World will wither and dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the West. Where’s my evening dose of morphine?
  7. I got it - Michelle and Dubya! He loooves Michelle. He was giving her the Eyes of Texas all during Biden’s inauguration.

    Sly Stone - RIP

    Ain’t this a bitch!? If the Music Lover chorus doesn’t get you going you ain’t ever gonna go. That was the fucking apex of Woodstock:The Movie. ”All the squares gyaw hyowm!”
  9. Search “Wallace,” “Kennedy,” “Katzenbach” and “Tuscaloosa” and you will know. Washington phoned the script to Wallace and he performed his part, i.e., racist governor.
  10. JFK and RFK (Sr) had the good sense to choreograph the play with Wallace when sending the Guard and Nicholas Katzenbach into Tuscaloosa just about exactly 63 years ago this week. I clearly remember the choppers buzzing overhead and 1.5 ton troop trucks rumbling up and down the streets beside my house. I don’t see any choreography going on here. FUBAR quotient is high.
  11. Trump and Musk both make me puke. That said, show me NASA landing a huge booster smack on the “X” mark on the deck of a fucking barge at sea, no less, and then I’ll concede an edge to NASA. Then again, I made a C in high school physics so WTF do I know? I know I will die and be cremated and my ashes will be scattered to the four winds with me ever having voted for a Republican candidate in a presidential election. And I have voted in all them since 1972, inclusive. And Joe Namath was across the goal line in the Orange Bowl. And the score is still Texas 21, Alabama 17. I don’t trust “the cloud,” either.
  12. If y’all are talking about Sarah Silverman I find her mysterious, attractive, clever and hilarious at times but then again I voluntarily signed up for Shaggy and Surly. She does get into some topics that are off putting. I like her coquettish sluttiness. Thought she did a good job portraying the bitchy friend in School of Rock.
  13. Hell, yes. Do it! Just keep the same audacity and cool ferocity. Fuck the 40 years ago actors. Find some new faces and make them celebrities. Ms. Llama, Baby Llama and I fucking savored Miami Vice each week but for the occasional dud. (2 out of 10?) The episodes were somewhat formulaic but the settings, the music and that awesome cast delivering the lines made it a joy. EJO commanded the screen and the Stripes “There was one?” guy provided comic relief. That theme intro montage of outstanding images and clips and kick ass music was and is a classic . . . Pal.
  14. Y’all are a posse full of stereotyping, bandwagon-jumping-on front runners incessantly pissing on my native state and if I didn’t love Surly, by Gawd I’d quit reading it every fucking day. My first cousin was Walter Flowers, one of those Alabama Democrats who spoke up in his day and voted to impeach Tricky Dick. Tommy Tatertown will only continue to erode the image of Alabama each time he opens his mouth. He’ll make prople wish for George Wallace (a Democrat). To paraphrase Wallace, think this when Tuberville takes the oath of office as guv of Alabama: “Stupidity then, stupidity now, stupidity fowevvah!”
  15. Check out the Netflix doc “What the hell happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears? Filmed in 1969 or 70, the setting was very interesting. The State Dept essentially forced them to play behind the Iron Curtain. In Romania, they practically brought thd house down. Thousands were chanting “USA! USA!” in fucking Bucharest at hearing tight American jazz and rock with horns and a Canadian singer. It’s worth a look, and made me proud. They returned to a bunch of sourpuss reviews accusing them of being sellouts to Nixon. You can’t please everyone, so you What, Rick? gotta please yourself. Be kind, help those less fortunate, and aspire to happiness. ☮️♥️☘️🇺🇸
  16. SBB, I am glad you kicked this off. I want to feel good about the nation where I live and its role in the past, present and future of the species and this planet. Right now I’m getting ready to go to work and try to generate some revenue to stay solvent for my dear wife and daughter so they won’t be helpless and lost when I croak in a few years. My take is, the United States as a nation has been slipping since overcommitting in Vietnam out of paranoia vs communism, then kept making bad decisions tinkering in the business of other nations around the world. I liked the way things went in the 90s, then we overdid it (again) in Kuwait, then later in Iraq and Afghanistan. On a parallel track was a decline in the basic quality of education and intelligence of Americans leading to “shock and awe,” Rush Phlegmball, Fox Hate World, and Trumpatollah. America doesn’t have to save the world but it needs to acknowledge there are other viable cultures and nations who, together with our help, can create a better place for all of our descendants. My parents got married on Memorial Day in 1938. They raised three children. My father served in the Army Air Corps and taught navigation (4F for the shooting war - badly set broken arm). My mother’s two brothers fought in snd survived WW2 (Navy) and Korea (Army). I salute them all. And I refuse to give up or abandon hope.
  17. Thank you, Mittens. Great use of technology, a skill I can only dream of. Review of that first season with Stallings was wince-inducing for another reason. After getting up our hopes, ending (spit on ground) Pat Dye’s four-game win streak and being invited to the Sun Bowl (Whoopee!), Bama embarrassed by the Ville and Jeff Brohm, who made our defense look hapless. No, they actually were hapless that day in El Paso. Brohm always impressed me as player and corch.
  18. If the foo shits, wear it, Elon wearing cartoon balloons.
  19. Love me some Delfonics and QT’s deft use of music to set the scenes in all of his films. Across 110th Street and Didn’t I Blow Your Mind This Time? zip me right back to the Eldorado Superfly days of the 70s. Green Grass of Summer opening of Inglourious Basterds puts me right in the theater as a kid watching the old Alamo with John Wayne swinging his musket as a club. Say it ain’t so, Duke! That was a helluva way to find out Davy Crockett died in Texas. I had been watching him on Disney every week gor years, but it was Fess Parker. TV confuses the young mind.
  20. American Gangster. Ridley was (is) so fucking good at settling into a period piece and turning out a fine product. Denzel and Crowe made a fine pair of protagonists. The epilog made you glad Crowe’s character ended up unlocking the ptison gates for Frank Lucas.
