  1. I knew I should have just said Stoddard. But no, I had to be fancy and use his whole name.

     

    Originally I had Doc's dotter's name down as  Amanda, but when verifying that that was in fact Andy Devine that played the stagecoach driver I came across her name was Amelia. And corrected it. And I should have realized then that my memory was faulty. Er than normal.

  2. Something I dislike about that movie is when they shake hands. Amelia and Guns.

     

    Do they say pact - we have reached an agreement?

    Or do they say pax - peace, we will not argue anymore?

     

    It seems like it should be pax, but sometimes it seems like I can hear a T.

     

    Did y'all know that Leilani played Andy Devine's daughter in Liberty Valance? Bit part. She was one of the students in Lance Stoddard's school.

    From the movie "Becket," I think "To fight the cold you must use the cold's  own weapons.  Every morning wash yourself with cold water. "

    Many years back. Was reading an article written in the late 1800s. The man said that the Blackfeet Indians of this one Village (interesting. otto does not think I should capitalize blackfeet, but Village should be) would every morning get up and go bathe in the river. Winter or summer, did not matter. Every day. And he had seen them, naked to the waist, blood up to their elbows, cleaning game, when it was so cold he could not stand to take his mitts off.

     

    I guess it's what you're used to.

  4. I think AI got in there a little bit.

     

    Look at Zeppo's nose. The shape of his nose going up into the eye sockets. That is not human. He looks like he's wearing science fiction alien makeup.

     

    Look at Groucho's eyes.

     

    Harpo's face looks like Harpo, but look at his ears.

     

    Chico's ears are also funny, although not as bad as Harpo's. But the shadow along the jawline on the right side of his face. It looks like somebody glued a picture of his face on somebody else's head.

  5. I was thinking that he used Hunter as a test case.

     

    He not only pardoned the Hunter for the crimes he was convicted of, but every other crime he might have committed for the last 10 years.

     

    And nobody stepped up and said, "now wait just a dang minute there boy!"

     

    So if he got away with it once, he figured he could get away with it again.

  6. According to the link, there were no charges. The police did not charge the store employees with assault.

     

    But I bet they got fired. Because that is 7-Eleven corporate policy. "Let them have it. That is why we have insurance." If you resist a robbery, 7-Eleven will fire your butt.

  7. Now first, most people believe that racist is bad. You think that people of that race are lazy, and people of that race are stupid, and people of that race over there are all thieves.

     

    But in reality, all racist is is thinking that somebody is THAT WAY because of their race. Doesn't necessarily have to be bad. Saying that Japanese kids are better at math is racist, because you're implying that they are not better because they study more but simply because they are Japanese. That's racist.

     

    I just got back from taking the dog for a walk. It's 47°. And I know a lot of you were thinking hey summertime, but down here that's cold. I'm wearing long pants, a long sleeve shirt, a sherpa vest, a thermal jacket, and a hat. And I have gotten about a quarter of the way through our walk and I was wishing I had on gloves because my hands was awful dang cold.

     

    So my racist thought.

     

    I wondered if black people could withstand the cold better because their darker skin absorbs more heat from the sun.

     

    I get about halfway around the block - only went around one block. It was a long block but still it was just one - and I see this lady come out of the house. Black lady. She's wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt. No coat, no hat. She just went down and got in her car, but still, shorts, short sleeve shirt, no coat no hat.

     

    Maybe another third of the way around and I come upon this little girl riding a bicycle. She's five or six years old. Black girl. She's wearing shorts, flip-flops, and a sleeveless shirt. Not just short sleeve -sleeveless.

     

    The dog's got a fur coat so she's okay. I'm bundled up and am freezing to death. I see two other people on my walk - both white. And both wearing lots of clothing.

     

    And I see two black people that are dressed for the middle of June instead of the middle of January. Just made me wonder.

    Black, white, Asian, gay and Indian. 

    They got two black guys - the cop and the soldier. Three white guys - the cowboy, the construction worker, and the biker. And an Indian.

     

    Which one is supposed to be Oriental?

     

    And they are all supposed to be homosexual.

    they only had one gay in the group

    Really? The whole point of the Village People was that they were all homosexual. Which one is the only one? Or would that be which one WAS the only one, since there's only one of the original ones left.

  10. You ever find yourself looking at something and trying to figure out what it is, and then when you do realize what it is you feel just so dang stupid?

     

    While he was talking to the aunts, there was this white spot on the right side of his head. When I first saw it I thought it was a speck of dust on my screen, but as I reached out to wipe it off I noticed that it moved with his head, so it wasn't on my device it was on the video. Then I wondered if it was light reflecting off the greasy kids stuff. And I kept wondering - what in the heck is that white?

     

    And then about the time the two sisters went into the kitchen I realized that it was a piece of rice stuck to the greasy kids stuff.

     

    Just feel so dumb sometimes.
