  1. Mama had one, and that's all she cooked in it was fried chicken.
  2. In the days before driver's licenses, and other types of government issued identification, how do you identify yourself? There's a Sherlock Holmes movie. Professor Moriarty is attempting to steal the crown jewels, so he shaved off his beard and he's dressed as a Bobby. When he shows up, where Dr Watson is in charge of protecting them, he shows some sort of identification paper and demands to see Watson's ID, which of course convinces Nigel Bruce's character - who as all may recall, ain't real bright. Sherlock Holmes was in the 1890s. What kind of identification would you carry back then? I know I could have calling cards printed up. I actually should have calling cards printed up - that's something a gentleman would do. But just because I have a nicely printed card that says I'm Donald Trump does not mean that I'm Donald Trump. In the time before picture ID and passports, what would you use?
  3. I would hope it was prearranged. My understanding of the term is the tryst is when you go off with your sweetie for a little slap and tickle. And if you have to go out of town to meet up with her, and if not prearranged, you might end up by yourself.

    "My source"

    Does that make you a source?
  5. I wonder when the guy that told stuff - or sold stuff - to newspaper reporters became a "source"? I've been watching the 1948 serial Superman. And there's this guy that frequently comes to Lois Lane with information, which she pays for. She refers to him as a "snitch".
  6. You're attempting, extremely hard, to make it my fault. But it's not my fault. It's the fault of the jerks that decided that I needed to do their work for them. And the way to make all those problems go away is to put some cashiers back in the stores.
  7. I remember that hairstyle. The 1980s. Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music Everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancin' queen Young and sweet, only seventeen Dancin' queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Diggin' the dancin' queen
  8. Maybe if they are running uphill in the desert. As a general rule, my eyes are much higher off the ground then a pig's dingleballs. So if I'm watching him run away, I would be seeing the top of his butt. And if there's any type of underbrush ...
  9. I don't see why. You can take a 38 special and load it with 110 grain hollow point. Or you can load it with a 200 grain lead bullet. Both of them shoot safely, because you vary the powder charge depending on which bullet you're using. Now if you were to take the powder charge you were going to use with 110 grain hollow point and put that underneath the 200 grain lead bullet - well you might have problems. But use a powder charge consistent with that bullet weight. 30/06 can be loaded with 110 grain bullet or a 220 grain bullet, safely. But not with the same powder charge.
  10. IN THE BOOK They are hunting in Germany, and the jagermeister reminds them that only mature boar can be taken. Mature should not really be a problem. Big. But how do you tell a boar from a sow? You know, when they're running through the woods. With deer, you can tell a buck from a doe by the antlers. And you can tell most game birds - cocks from hens - by the coloring. But is there an easy way to sex a pig at a distance?
  11. People on vacation. The same thing as a timeshare, basically. People in the military who are TDY. I get transferred to Texas for 3 weeks, and I'm not thrilled with the idea of living in the barracks or even the BOQ. So I rent this house off base. For the 3 weeks that I'll be there. People in the military with PCS orders. Give them time to find some place to live, without having to stay in a hotel. There are several reasons for people to rent a house for a month or less.
