    Getting old sucks

    Today would be my Dad's 100th birthday. Everybody thought it was last year but I know he lied to get in the Coast Guard in WWII. Lets just say homebirth birth certificates were easy to manipulate. He served on a sub chaser out of Norfolk and they had 1 probable sinking of a German sub. He got transferred to the Pacific theater assigned to an LST and was Coxswain of a Higgins boat at Iwo Jima. After the war he married my Mom and lived in California for a while working as a Line Crew chief for SoCal Edison. In the late 50's they moved back to Archer City where Dad owned the Texaco station on the corner of the square for a few years. It's in The Last Picture Show. He sold that, moved back home to Chico and went into trucking for the next 20 years. In the early 80's built a small bar/bbq joint in that did decent business for a few years before he retired. Of course while all this is going on there was the ranch to run, cattle to mess with, all the day to day stuff. He smoked 2 packs of Camels and drank a fifth of WL Weller every day. They weren't all good times, they weren't all bad times. He was a force of nature, bigger than life and I swear Mike Judge used him as inspiration for Cotton Hill.

    Spence wasn't fond of it, either.
  5. Conan hosting this year is genius. Harks back to the Johnny Carson days. He is the elder statesman.
  6. There are the grifters and the grifted.

    You should really go implants. Partials/bridges suck.
  8. Just buy the replacement pigtail.
  9. You need those career leaders when the majority of your workforce is in high turnover. Somebody has to know how shit works. Another big difference is this is a much more complicated Navy compared to WWII era.
  10. You do understand the Navy does a whole lot of shit on land, right? Any idea of what it takes to run a base? A Naval District? Then there's those pesky air wings.

    Novocaine

    Has possibilities.
  17. I never liked Angel. He was a parasite. Genius casting.
  18. I think the Actors Guild has a couple retirement homes for the aged thespian.
  19. Alice Hirson, a veteran actress known for her role as Bob Saget's mother on Full House, The Glass House (2001), Being There (1979) and Revenge of the Nerds (1984), has died. She was 95.
  20. and its a blatant rip off of Layne's.
