I take it then, that you won't be voting for hilariousC *. If you gonna go all fem on us then it'll have to be Girlie Fiorina.
A Printer in every pot. You can take the trash outa the company, but can you trash a company and then take it back.
RETURNS DEPARTMENT
Did/does Ron Anderson dig Sarah Palin? (haven't seen the Melody Maker issue on that one)
Elizabeth Warren? Who knows. She hasn't gotten back to me yet.
Warren was paid up to $90,000 as witness in 2000 trade case
Did she use the cash to pay off her student loanz? Is she a death or death panel expert? Time who tell, who has fell and who's been left behind.
In 1999 and 2000, the Justice Department paid Warren between $200 to $400 an hour to serve as an expert witness against a Canadian funeral home operator called Loewen Group
What was it about the only justice in the halls of justice.
-Jerry Rubin said that, but he's dead
*Bolding out of kindness I suppose. In case you want to skip posts by future banishees. Not banshee.

On second thought the justice quote was actually from one of the great Bruce's of history, Lenny.
Jerry Rubin discovered very late in life that jaywalking is not only illegal, but can be quite deadly.

I used to run from UCLA to the Santa Monica Pier, and I wouldn't touch Wilshire Blvd. with Rod Dixon's feet. That is to say, I would not emulate Jerry's athletic endeavors.

Dis ain't funny, sonny. Oh, my!
David, a professor of biochemistry at UCLA, my ex-mother-in-law's second husband, was driving on Wilshire. He was heading straight into the sun when a woman appeared there in the windshield and WHAMMO!
His life was instantly and irrecoverably changed in so many ways.
And either could happen to you, driving or jaywalking.
Awareness is very hard to keep--there are so many distractions in this jungle.
I was thinking of how the eyes NEED to be where they are for horses to run fast. If you cannot see the ground beneath your feet, it spells d-o-o-m.

faith based in the flames
Here we are happy
Here we play nice
I hate but love

Then in Ernest the mouse shows a nest
Rats my wife says get off that mess
Cheers for the years
And for being alive
Re bear the fallen with a rave
See yo thefunyapers

"Can you trash a company and then take it back?"
Is this for credit or no credit? The Advice & Cheese Shop has no credit established...we pay only cash to our vendors.
[Click to View YouTube Video]We do not require payment for advice. We gladly accept "donations."
Our decided opinion here at the Flames: Stay off of Wilshire, take Worcestershire instead. By all means, avoid Sunset, and try Naragannset instead. The Tioga Pass Road is open but take chains. Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight. Then use it yourself. That about sums it up.

That Bushwalla guy could fit mine and Rod Dixon's feet intothose shoes.
I saw a woman get hit by a car at a dark intersection. Car wasn't going very fast, but I can still hear the sound of the car striking her to this day. I was in either junior or high school.
All that being said, PCH is far more dangerous than Wilshire.

Yes, let's talk of the Avalon Ballroom, Sutter & Van Ness, SF.
We'll talk in musical sentences. That's a lame lawyer/musician joke.
The old farts are excused, but only if they want to be, from gettin' up to dance (or look like they're movin'), but for the youngun's it's day rigger.
I was introduced to the SF music scene by goin' to the Av with the Rev and Larry Jones, where we listened to Country Joe, Blue Cheer, and Lee Michaels.
I think the last concert I attended as a youth was at Monterey College where I heard Country Joe again. He was always accompanied by Fish, of course.
I was with two twins that night, so I don't remember much about the music, so you'll forgive that, certain sure. Nothin' came of that, and I went home a virgin for that night.
I checked out Barry Melton on Wiki tonight. He's an officer of the court now, maybe retired by now, too. I won't hold that against him, times are not as they were. We can trust lawyers now. Especially lawyers who have played with the Russians, as Barry has with the band Crossroadz.
Вот Crossroadz . Наслаждайтесь !

Barry Melton was a co-founder of the Fish, ya know. He played a Gibson SG.
He also was an original member of the Dinosaurs, but I guess that's expected of fossils.
Here's a question. What rhymes with Avalon?
Here's the answer.[Click to View YouTube Video]They weren't fishin' down in Venice.
And Barry may have been trollin' at the Saloon, but I'm not 100% on that.[Click to View YouTube Video]In my opinion this group is tighter in the second video, but the jury is still out.
Of course these are not the angry youth of Monterey and Woodstock. Hell, they weren't angry then, just really-really stoned a lot.
Jerry Rubin, don't take it personally, but all that spew was just babble.
[Steal this post]
No, wait, that was Abbie. My bad.

This was when I was lookin' out for my sister and Ed's arrival, which was imminent. I happened to be thinkin' the same thing as that other old boy.
The Synch, once more.
And then little sister pulled up and I bushwhacked her photogenic self from my airy perch. But I got her to look up and wave, and that made me really happy.
I met them at the lobby door and escorted them up the stairs. We ought to have had the elevator running by now, but there's no help for that--it'll happen when it will.
We had a nice little jabber in my place (spotless and fresh-smelling) and then we headed out to do what all families do at birthday celebrations...we went to the PG&E office so I could pay my bill.
But that was AFTER we visited the Courthouse Museum and I gave them the benefit of my ten years or so as a docent. I've only been trying to get her to come to the place for that long! FINALLY, when it happens, what is the subject of the temporary exhibit...a recap of the Panama Pacific International Exposition and related photos of Merced County's participation in that event.
Lenna had her phone/cam, so I left my rig back at Middle Earth. When she gets the time she will send the relevant pics.
We went to lunch at Joe on the Go, a quiet place with delicious sandwiches and salads. Even Ed was happy!
Lenna treated, and thanks again, sis. Thanks also for the stack of T-shirts and the wonderful loaf of banana-nut bread, too!
Here is a photo of her grandson Connor at San Francisco learning to fly during a school field day taken by his mom, Jessica, one of the chaperones.
And here is the future president and his sax.It was a good day.
Tomorrow I turn 67. I've had me a good life and longer than many. Just want to thank the Lord for savin' me for dessert.

I asked Richard (not the little one) Alpert and he came up with:
BABALON (baby rhymes with something else)
Then some one volunteered
Babble On
Making his first appearance on the ST, I predict this guy will come to dominate all threads and occupy major bandwidth both On and OT. Get the boy some duck feet.

from the "comments" on this video
Raven101able 2 months ago
I must say it was sad that he lost his hearing for playing the organ so loud.
I lived in Livingston he lived in Atwater with his Grandmother. Still he was a great heart and talented player in my day.
Frosty the drummer went on to form Sweat Hog, ahahha and they beat the sh#t outta rock and roll. Great times when a concert was less than 5 dollars.

San Bernadino, 1971.[Click to View YouTube Video]On the drums is Keith, not Frosty. He used both guys.

Photos from December, 2013.
I miss getting out and going places different than home. I revisit these old images from time to time and find new things in the ones I've skipped over in favor of other shots.
Shots from other days in 2013.
