Conundrum

Hmmmm…

Honey, I got us a cradle for the baby.

Sear “Free Spirit”? I had one as well. It was my first derailer type bike with hand brakes, not coaster brakes. The first time I rode my bike in the rain I found out that caliper brakes don’t work very well on wet rims. I crashed into a pine tree. Luckily the pine bows saved me from more harm. They slowed me down before I hit the trunk.

Oh!, now I remember those. I called them “Men’s Purgatories”. They were barely tolerable because they had Arcades. When those went away the mall dropped several levels toward Hell.

What’s a mall?

Snuffy reluctantly follows through.

I finally found the perfect picture to describe Pickle Ball.

I looked at that thread. I made a comment about her getting her start in Go Carts / Racing Carts and left it at that. I looked later and pictures were racier, no pun intended and decided the thread was headed down the tubes and never looked again. Clarification: not going down the tubes as in degrading but going down the tubes to where a Mod might edit or delete provocative photos. Deletion or thread locking were inevitable.

Younger folks have fun with Cosplay and more recent sci-fi roles. Dressing up like characters from Star Trek, Star Wars and various Anime characters. I also think people like to dress and emulate their favorite characters or personas without feeling like they’re in a military type group hierarchy. 25-30 years ago I was interested in joining a Revolutionary War group out in SoCal. It looked like fun. I got invited to a big event where there were Mountain Man, Revolutionary and Civil War reenactors were doing their thing. I was invited to shoot in a competition firing at Folgers cans hung at various distances from 50 to 100 yards. I just couldn’t seem to miss. I was using a friends flintlock. All of a sudden I had all these guys wanting me to join their group or Companies. Then some “leaders” came over and were giving me the lowdown on how I was going to be a “Private” and follow orders and do tasks as if I were a soldier in the militia at that time and the words of Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon entered my mind…”I’m getting too old for this s***!” And I bowed out gracefully. I didn’t feel like taking orders from a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker - literally.

Eyesa and Eyesa save the day!!!

I am sorry to see you go, Marshal.

I don’t recall this one, but it did come out 3 years before I was born. Judging by the write up in Wikipedia I didn’t miss anything.
