I'm watching this video clip. The woman and her five year old kid are in the convenience store, and the kid is running wild. At one point he is pulling food off the shelf, throwing it on the floor and jumping up and down on it.
The owner of the store just tries to convince the child he is not supposed to do that, and tells the woman that she's doing a bad parenting job.
But I was thinking that the child had just destroyed about $150 worth of his merchandise, so he should tell the woman that she needs to pay for it. And if she wouldn't pay for it he should call the cops.
This was my opinion - this is not what happened in the video.
And that just got me to wondering if he could have the woman arrested for the damage that her 5-year-old did to his stuff?
And since I'm sure that at least one person is going to say that it depends on where this is taking place - wherever you live? California, Texas, Colorado, Idaho, I don't care.

I thought a single tree was part of a harness, attaching a horse to a wagon. I don't know specifically what it does, but that's what I thought it was.
I also believe there is a double tree, and that's used exactly the same way except that's for attaching two horses to the wagon.

Redneck hunting.
When he starts telling about how they did it when he was a kid - we're out here huntin'. On someone's property - I just started nodding my head. Yeah bubba. Been there.
I do not believe that is a 14-point buck. In Texas would that not be a 7-point buck?

Okay, sue me. At least it's got points on it, not all ovals like LAPD.

Actually it is "Doesn't Like Horses"
Yep. Right after I read that I knew you was right. Been a long time since I saw the movie.
But I'm pretty sure he did not refer to her as his snake wife, but as his snake woman.

My across the street neighbor, who is not very experienced with firearms, asked me what the difference was between a rifle and a car bine. I started explaining that generally a car bean was just a shorter version of a rifle, and he broke in and apologized for pronouncing it wrong.
I told him he had not pronounced it wrong - it was like ee ther and eye ther -both ways were correct. I just preferred the "bean" sound

CarBEEN or CARbyne or CARbeen or carBYNE?
Put emphasis of a different silLABl.....or SYLubl.
Watch Rio Bravo. There's a scene where Duke is walking down the street and comes up to Colorado outside the saloon. Colorado notices the cocked hammer and asks, "you always carry that carbon cocked?"
Did not pronounce it car bine. Did not pronounce it car bean. Said carbon, like carbon paper.

Wouldn't mowing her over be the same as her touching you out?
With my great baseball experience (I played Little League one year and sandlot for three), if the runner is touched by the baseman's hand, she's not out. If she's touched by the baseman's shoulder, she's not out. She has to be touched by the ball - or by the glove as long as the ball is in the glove.
But the baseman did not have to touch the runner. All she had to do was step on the backBAG, and the runner was out.
That's why I was wondering about hip bumping her and knocking her off into the infield.

He knocked it out of the park as "Old Lodge Skins".
My new snake woman cooks dog really well. Everyone knows that snake women copulate with horses. My new snake woman says she doesn't do that, and that's why I named her Afraid of Horses.

Everybody knows what the LAPD badge looks like. Great big honker, maybe 3 inches top to bottom.
When I was a kid our Police Department badges were about an inch and a half. But 10 or 20 years ago they switched them and now they look like LAPD.
I was just watching a clip from the movie Running Scared - Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. They're undercover cops, and in the clip they are being mugged.
So they tell the muggers that they can have the money but "we need to keep our wallets and our driver's licenses and our badges" and they flip the wallet open and it's a five pointed star. And that just looked so fake. Because pretty much all you see on television and movies is the LAPD style.
San Francisco's got a five pointed star. Or at least they did when the Dirty Harry movies were being made. Don't know if they still do.
Bad Boys - Will Smith and Martin Lawrence - are Miami cops, and their badges look like LAPD.

Can the runner run into, and knock down, a defending player?
The batter hit. Second baseman caught it. The base runner was off the base when the ball was caught, and therefore has to get back on base. The second baseman stepped on the base, and the runner was out.
But it just looked to me like the runner was trying to go around the second baseman to get back to the base.
Could she have run into her, pushing her out of the way so she can get back to the base?
Or is that against the rules?

Mo-beel,
likeis the town in AlabamaI's reading this book one time. Got these Philadelphia cops talking on the phone to another Philadelphia cop who is in the big town of Daphne, Alabama (if such a place exists and was not invented for the novel), and they tell him they will be flying into Mo-bull the next day. And he asked - "where?"
Mo-bull Alabama. M O B I L E.
He tells them, "They pronounce that Mo-beel."
"Really?"
And I'm thinking, yeah you damn Yankee, really.

Apps that I don't use, but am hesitant to uninstall because I have no idea if removing one will mess up something else.
Yeah bubba.
My phone came with 32 gig of hard drive. And it came with 14 gig of available space. Which means it came preloaded with 18 gig of garbage. And I'm afraid to uninstall them, because every one I've started to I get this warning that UNINSTALLING THIS MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTIES WITH THE PHONE'S OPERATION
So maybe three lines of code that makes the telephone work is part of the Google TV app. I don't ever use Google tv, but I'm afraid to delete it because that three lines of code would mean my telephone with no longer work. (That's just an example)

Specifically, apps.
It looks like everybody and their little brother that has a website now also has an app. And they want you to download the app.
Why?
Smith & Wesson's bulletin board site, for example, has recently come out with an app. And they are really pushing that app.
There is a comic website. One of the comics was funny enough that I had bookmarked that particular comic strip. I haven't been to that site in probably a year. But I was looking through my bookmarks and saw it and I thought I would go look at it and see if it was as funny as I remembered. And I get to the last frame of the strip, and it tells me that's it. That's the end of my preview. If I wish to continue reading the comics I have to download the app.
Mildly frustrating because I won't get to read any more of the comics, because I will be damned if I will be forced into downloading anything.
I'm funny that way.
But what is the advantage for the people that own the website if I download the app? Why are they pushing so hard for me to do it?
I understand that owning a website costs money. But even if they have an app, they still have the website, right? So they still got that fee.
If someone understands this could you explain it to me in words of small syllables because I'm thoroughly confused.

Mobile. That thing with the dangly do hunkers that you hang over a baby's crib.
Is it mo-bull, like the flying horse gas company, or you can move around, you're still mobile? That's how I always thought it was pronounced.
Mo-beel, like the town in Alabama? That's the way they pronounced it on the TV show I saw last night, which prompted this question.
Mo-bile, which I don't think is really a word but I've heard it said a lot down here in the south.

Do you suppose alcoholic beverages and/or recreational pharmaceuticals may have had something to do with this?

On the subject of believing something because you were told it, the girl that comes up to talk to Richie, about halfway through this clip - she is Cher's little sister. And she sounds just like Cher. I don't know if she sounded to me like Cher before I knew she was Cher's sister or not, or if knowing that makes me hear the resemblance. She's also got Cher's nose.

Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry;
Walking through San Francisco's Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners. He turned a corner and saw a building with the sign "Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry."
"Moishe Plotnik?" he wondered. "How does that fit in Chinatown? So he walked into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking Chinese laundry.
He could see that the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the name, as there were baseball hats, T-Shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with the logo "Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry." There was also a fair selection of Chinatown souvenirs, indicating that the name alone had brought many tourists into the shop. The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to his office. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who thanked him for his purchase in English, thickly accented with Chinese.
The tourist asked, "Can you tell me how this place got a name like "Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry?"The old man answered, "Ahh... Everybody ask that. Is name of owner."
Looking around, the tourist asked, "Is he here now?"
"He is right here," replied the old man. "He is me."
"Really? How did you ever get a name like Moishe Plotnik?"
"Is simple," said the old man. "Many, many year ago when come to this country, was stand in line at Documentation Center. Man in front is Jewish gentleman from Poland.
"Lady look at him and say, 'What your name?' " He say, 'Moishe Plotnik.'
"Then she look at me and say, 'What your name?'
"I say, 'Sam Ting.'"-

I think you were proving my point.
Everybody in those videos was sitting up straight on the back of the horse.
The horse in the movie was not cantering. It was not galloping. It was flat out running as fast as it could. And the girl was lying down with her face tucked up against the horse's neck. Not like any of those people in the videos.

babies wearing hats
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
I have noticed, over the past 20 years or so, whenever they have a newborn on television or in the movies they've always got a hat on. It looks like a watch cap except it's not knitted.
Why?
Have the baby doctors decided that newborns are going to freeze to death because they have no hair on their head? I know they didn't do that when I was a kid. We didn't do that when I had kids.
It's just very weird.
My granddaughter. Actually both of them. And as you can tell, the one on stage right is the newborn. Because she's wearing a hat.
In this picture I think she's 2 months old. Doesn't need a hat.
