    I remember that, and I was actually a Baxley supporter because, post-Wallace, all I wanted (and still want) was representation that wasn't a detriment. Just stick a Ken doll in the chair and call it governor. I got called a Yellow Dog but you think about it, ain't nothin more true, more loyal than a good old yellow dog.

    But the Alabama Dems thought they were the Mexican PRI, when that day was already 5 or 6 years in the past.

    I didn't do this but some people learned that you could redo the big Graddick billboards. Apparently if you cut out the first D and turned it over the color came thru so you could put it back on the sign as a B. Others replaced the G with an H and reversed the A and R. Almost drove into a tree laughing when I first saw that sign.

    Shit, Jones stands a chance against Dr. Creepy Ex-Governor too.

    It may be a regular election not a special but as I was a lone voice saying Jones had a great shot even before the Pedo Roy stuff became public and I live here, I have a bit of a better read than most of y’all Texans.

    There are a lot of female republicans in Alabama who vote for all R but not for Moore or Bentley.

    And don’t forget what put Jones over the top - larger than normal turnout amongst groups that typically don’t vote.

    Put Moore on the ballot again and that will happen again.

    Don’t underestimate how motivating the Jones victory was to those historically apathetic groups.

    They saw proof their votes mattered.

    They won’t forget that.

    As long as the PTB don't try to remove them from the voting rolls

    We don't have to go register as one or the other in Alabama. We just show up, tell 'em whichever primary we feel like voting in that particular day, and do it. Freedom.

    Been many a time I voted in one party's primary and then voted for their opponent in the general, for my personal entertainment value.

    Now, probably they discourage that, but Alabama State Politicos are still afraid of the Arisen Zombie Blood of Charlie Graddick and how it cried out for vengeance against those who'd cling to boring laws.

    1986 was an incredible year for politics in Alabama. Learned that just because you win the primary doesn;t mean you will be on the ballot.

  5. No one has mentioned Saturday Night Live??????  Or Monday Night Football???

    And  the fact that there were really only three channels - ABC, NBC and ABC to produce all  this.

    Also Fantasy Island provided a nice place for actors to land if a series was cancelled.

    Never mind the blank 18 minutes . . .

    Let's toss Rosemary under the bus for that one.  The interesting part is that several people confirmed that Nixon was so uncoordinated that they felt he could not have figured out how to do this. IIRC the taping system was way more complicated that the reel to reel device you saw at the opening  of Mission Impossible.

    Another important point - Nixon never would have gone down for Watergate if the moron hadn't recorded everything.  I think one of his cronies let it slip in an interview that Nixon had a tape recorder in the office and that was how Jaworski found out.  Even with all the evidence, if Nixon hadn't been caught on tape literally directing crimes, the Republicans wouldn't have turned on him.  

    The crony was Alexander Butterfield and he did not let it slip, he was asked the question by the investigating committee and answered it correctly.  And I am pretty sure all the committee members did a double take when he said that. The game was changed dramatically

  8. I like the idea of outlets every five feet. You can't have enough. If I ever get to build my own garage it will also have some 220 volt electric heaters and lots of insulation. Spent two much time working on cars in cold garages.

  9. We had this discussion a few years ago on the old forum. I did post it and they had mixed opinions on that trigger. All I can say is that it has been in the family since the 40's and was probably last fired in the 50's. I know I never heard of Dad firing it. I was going to get it worked on but never got to it yet

    Mine was early 1900's. sorry about photobucket but after reading the forums items I have no idea where to move photos to. Other sites seems to work and then not work

    lol of course he was a KA at Auburn.

    And even though the national organization banned confederate dress almost 10 years ago, this is how they dress for Old South today -

    Nope. Those costumes certainly don’t evoke the confederacy. Not at all.

    Wasn't going to mention it but I do remember the KA's at Auburn having the Old South parade thru town. And NO it was not only at Auburn. Pretty sure every southern campus had it. Know Alabama banned it a few years ago

    I’m picturing a lot of the slimy, behind the scenes political operatives on both sides of the aisle scurrying around college libraries all over the country looking up old yearbooks and fraternity pictures.

    I’m also picturing a lot of politicians on their burner phones calling up Biff, who’s now the alumni chair for Sigma Chi and demanding that all the old scrapbooks and photo albums be locked away in a vault.

    I’m expecting more of these pictures to be exposed between now and November 2020.

    Good times.

    I know a couple of fraternity brothers of mine that better not run for office - especially on any anti drug platform

    The political theater aside -- as a trial lawyer, watching the Roger Stone Step On Your Dick in Federal Court Extravaganza is fucking popcorn-worthy as hell.  When you have a minute entry in your name from a Federal Court and the words "show cause" are in there.....that is never, ever, ever a good thing.  It's usually a very, very, very bad thing.

    Dis gon be gud.

    I like the way you sum it up

  14. From what I have been reading on other forums there is a distinct shortage of Rolex sports models. Apparently most dealers have Datejusts and other similar. On the other hand I haven't liked many of the Rolex line in last few years - too big and too much added bling. Very happy with my older Sub

  15. Considering that Watergate was not full of Mensa candidates that is saying a lot. The initial burglars got caught because they taped a door lock. Except they taped it with the tape going horizontal instead of on the edge.  And after the guard found it and removed the tape they replaced it and the guard found it again and called the cops.  Kinda obvious there.
