A man with authority walks into a bar
And ...
He orders everyone a round

Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, “Windy, isn’t it?”
Second one says, “No, its Thursday!”
Third one says, “So am I. Let’s go get a beer.”
They go into a bar and order their beers, with a shot of whisky each for luck.
They sit in the corner talking about old man stuff.
Shortly, another old guy comes into the bar and asks for a bottle of 40-year-old Scotch. The bartender, not wanting to give up the good liquor, pours a shot of 10-year-old Scotch and figures that the man won’t be able to tell the difference. The man downs the Scotch and says, ‘This Scotch is only 10 years old! I specifically asked for 40-year-old Scotch.’ Amazed, the bartender reaches into a locked cabinet underneath the bar, pulls out a bottle of 20-year-old Scotch, and pours the man a shot. The man drinks it down and says, ‘That was 20year-old Scotch. I asked for 40-year-old Scotch.’
So the bartender goes into the back room, brings out a bottle of 30-year-old Scotch, and pours the man a drink. By now a small crowd has gathered around the man and is watching anxiously as he downs the latest drink. Once again the man states the true age of the Scotch and repeats his original request for 40-year-old Scotch. The bartender can hold off no longer and disappears into the cellar to get a bottle of prime 40-year-old Scotch. Soon, the bartender returns with the bottle and pours a shot. The man downs the Scotch and says, ‘Now this is 40-year-old Scotch!’ The crowd applauds his discriminating palate.
One of the three old guys in the corner, who had been watching the proceedings with interest, raises a full shot glass of his own and says, ‘Here, take a swig of this.’ The man takes the glass and downs the drink in one swallow. Immediately, he chokes and spits out the liquid on the floor. ‘My God! That tastes like piss,’ he yells. ‘Great guess,’ says the drunk. ‘Now, how old am I?’

Opinions Expressed Pretty Much Reflect My Own

Omer Aziz is the author of the forthcoming “Brown Boy: A Story of Race, Religion, and Inheritance.”
All those who have helped to spread the worldwide myth that Muslims are a threat have blood on their hands.

This Has Always Been Our Active Shooter Drill
(for Stephon Clark’s grandmother)
shave your face. a haircut
even. kiss your kids. your
partner. your parents. tell
them you listened. you kissed
their asses like you were
taught. kissed their asses and
still. walk. or run. don’t
matter. glue your identification
to your forehead. wrap yourself
in the flag. hand over heart. hit
the high note. hide your slang
under your tongue. delete
your profile. scrub the net. clean
your blood. prepare your body
for peepholes no one
will ever peer into.

And true to his colors, His Silliness keeps on keeping on, blabbing and tweeting his hateful hate...
Donald Trump issued the first veto of his presidency Friday afternoon, rejecting a congressional resolution that would have blocked him from funding his border wall without congressional approval.
Trump tweeted about the political advantage he expects those who supported him will receive for supporting his emergency declaration.
"I'd like to thank all of the Great Republican Senators who bravely voted for Strong Border Security and the WALL. This will help stop Crime, Human Trafficking, and Drugs entering our Country. Watch, when you get back to your State, they will LOVE you more than ever before!" Trump tweeted Friday.
go. team. rah.

Put the blame on Marlow, Mame.
"High" art is today more stupidly money-driven than football and the American presidency.--Marlow
"His work is old-fashioned and newfangled, a carefully calculated mixture of literalism and obscurantism."--Jed Perl
It's High-Art Sunday here on The Flames.
It's a brand new tradition and I hype you like it.
It's not nearly as popular as Black and White Friday, but it's relevant in an NPR way, or so it says in the program guide.
I had never even HEARD of Francis Bacon, the Irish artist, until today, St. Party's Day.
Francis Bacon's 1969 painting Three Studies of Lucian Freud was bought at Christie's last night for $142.4 million, setting a record for the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction.
(It beat the previous record, Edvard Munch's The Scream, sold in 2012 for $120 million).
But while the Irish painter, who died in 1992, reigns over the art market, his critical legacy is more divided. In this 2009 essay, Jed Perl panned the painter's art as empty and nihilist, celebrated more for his bad boy reputation than its artistic value.

Cream - "Meet Me In The Bottom" - 1966
Some raw Cream. Non-Pasteurized. Not certified "organic." Might or might not be Safe As Milk. Do not use past expiration date.
It's off-putting when the sound doesn't synch with the video. This one, the editor stuck in vid clips which, of course, did not fit AT ALL. Took it to a whole...'nother...level of irritation for me. Either stick with stills and let them stay on-screen a bit longer and get rid of the non-synched vids, or make it all vids and just go with that.
"Son of a Preacher Man" - Yonder Mountain String Band
One of the sweetest and most harmonious groups I've listened to lately.
some off-putting things
most free trial offers
in-your-face coughers
a hole in your Dockers
wannabe Joe Cockers
no chalk in your bag
unwanted rope drag
off-width with no end
your failure to send

Our policy on immigration to the USA, within reason.
Curious need not apply. You ask too many questions anyway. Go away.

Speaking of guitar heroes
Dick Dale has died at 81.

Now I am wondering where my autographed CD is
