Forty Rod SASS 3935

Phineas TAYLOR Barnum (Uncle Phil . Well it could be true.) said it best: there's a sucker born every minute.

Why is CBS Chicago telling the story of a bird in Arizona? Oh, I know: They don't have ANY news that doesn't involve murder, mayhem, mutilation, assault, robbery, theft, terror, etc within five hundred miles of Chicago and everyone has already seen that on every channel and after awhile it isn't news anymore, it's just more boring BS.

Everybody's doing it.

I remember a Mack delivering ice to homes in Logan, Utah as late a 1958-1960 era. The kids would follow it on hot days and the driver always gave us each a chunk of ice. We had an ice box in the basement of the first three homes we had in Logan.

Never do today anything that you can put off until tomorrow. . . . . . Never do tomorrow anything that you can put off indefinitely.

I have a black belt in falling down and am working one one in napping. Going to get my Master's Degree in goofing off, too. Life's fun if you let it be.

'Bout the only sausage I eat are Jimmy Dean original breakfast sausages and andouilles (andooies) with some Cajun foods....like red beans and rice.

Daisy Chayne (did we already do this one?)

Woopsie daisy. Colder than mother-in-law's embrace. Out in just a swell. All blue jeans were called "Levis", no matter who made them. Jeans were called "overalls". It was cool (and authentic) to wear your Levi cuffs rolled up. (Does anyone know why?) P/ F. Flyers. Twist-O-Flex watch bands. Buster Brown. Electric trains in department store windows at Christmas time. Department store windows. Lash Larue Hand crank record players. Chemistry sets. Mimeographs.

I'm sorry Pard, but I'll starve to death before I ever eat another hot dog. Never developed a taste for them.

That tempera recipe makes about a year's supply for me. I believe I'm going to pass on it.

Found it on Amazon. Delivery Thursday. I keep you posted. Thanks. BTW, they have about a dozen different flavors. A 3 pack ot three flavors saves about 40%...but none of the others rang my chimes, so I got the plain version.

I haven't watched pro wrestling since about 1962. A friend of Mom's was a school teacher during the week, but was Gentleman Jim on Friday Nights and Saturdays. When he told me the bare truth about pro wrestling. I watched a couple of more matches to see if I could spot the phoniness. I couldn't see anything but, so I quit watching it altogether. Ho hum! I miss it about as much a Custer would have missed all those Indians.

Maybe not, but I've known a lot who have come mighty close. MIGHTY close!!!

I bought a simple home deep fat fryer and broke it in last night with frozen un-spiced and un-breaded scallops (extra large because I can't find any smaller ones). Eh.....it was alright using what I had on hand, but it wasn't all that special. It's a good little cooker, easy to use and easy to clean up. What is the best oil to use? I had two choices, Wesson and EVO. What's better? I love butter, but I'm told it isn't good for this: too smoky and doesn' taste as good. I breaded the scallops with egg and Italian style bread crumbs. I couldn't even taste the crumbs, but it works well on some dishes. I have plenty of general purpose flour and a bunch of different spices. Any suggestions? BTW, I'm also looking for some GOOD tartar sauce. All of the bottled stuff that Ihave found tastes like left overs from a kid's Gilbert chemistry set. And I'm also looking for any recipes with different foods: other fish, meats, veggies, whatever. Thanks.

Flap Jacks. See ya later, alligator. After 'while, crocodile. Shoe buttons and button hooks. Cigarette rolling machines. Almost anything from Ronco.

Non-human barnstormers.

Women started this when they insisted on being allowed to play on men's teams. Be careful what you ask for and don't bitch about when it turns around and bites you/ BTW, in my house every day is women's day! My mother, wife, daughter and daughter-in-law have all earned that...and I know a lot of other ladies who have, too.

Like tiddly winks?

My daughter got me a heating pot. It will bring four cups of water to a boil in about 90 seconds. Great for tea, consomme, instant soups, some instant lunches, etc. I haven't tried it with milk yet (for Ovaltine) but I can heat that on a pan or nuke it. For coffee I use an electric percolator or Mr. Coffee.

Your tax dollars at work.

Worn to a frazzle. Cut to the chase. Gillette Blue Blades. Erector Sets. Marx toys, especially electric trains. Cast metal Flash Gordon toy space ships ( I saw a full set in pristine shape: asking price for all 20 of them was $1500.00. The original price was less than a quarter each at F. W. Woolworth.) F. W. Woolworth.

Go to your room...and no TV for you tonight.

Nobody gets out of this life alive.

You know, the C-47 wasn't any slouch, either. I have know a baker's dozen Goony Bird "jockies" who survived crashes of their planes. One recently died at 103 years of age. He knew Patton and flew Pathfinders behind Normandy Beach the night before D-Day, and survived a couple of crashes. He also flew a C-47 back and was told he couldn't fly that plane again because it had over 300 bullet holes in it and seven or eight chunks missing from AA fire.
