So, if the Scarecrow is wrong about this, what else is he wrong about? And what about the Lion and the Tin Man? And Dorothy herself? Did she have ulterior motives for dropping her house on a citizen of the foreign land that she was visiting? Was it really about Ruby Slippers, or something much deeper? The flowers, maybe? Were they poppies? And what if the Flying Monkeys weren't the bad guys after all? Or were they just pawns in the game? It's hard to know who you can trust nowadays...

We had a Rifle Club at Morris Hills HS in NJ back in '71. We shot Army surplus .22's in the school basement 50-foot range, where they kept the rifles in a locker. We shot against HS teams with actual target rifles and nice shooting jackets. I had a tan Army shirt with my NRA Marksmanship patches on it. We never won, but I would place near the top. New Jersey seems to have changed in 50 years.

But kept the Land and the Lakes. They kept their land, and they won't give it back, And they sent Geronimo a Cadillac. Oh, boys, take me back, I want to ride in Geronimo's Cadillac...

Are you flirting with her?

She's flirting with you!

With all of the Westerns that I've watched, I've never seen the Grim Reaper in the background! Camera angle, I guess. The director didn't want to pay to use his image (the price was WAY too high), so he's never shown. This is a great shot of how the winner is determined in a shoot-out.

A favorite old cartoon had 2 rodents watching a bunch of Belgium people jumping off a cliff. One rodent says to the other, "Flemings".

Yes, they do, but I still think he's a snappy dresser! Although I dress more like Mr. Greenjeans! Copying is the most sincere form of flattery:

Excellent photos for the comparison! Thanks! I don't want to meet either of them out in the wild, regardless of where I am. I've seen gators from a distance, and that is fine with me. And I doubt if I'll ever make it down under to see a real croc. Or a magpie. Or any of the other killer animals y'all have down there. Spiders and snakes and drop bears, oh, my!

Well, Texas tried that, but the visitors started selling piranha tacos with onions and cilantro. Then, the Texans started slow-smoking the piranha over mesquite. Served with sliced onions, jalapenos, and sauce. Watch out for the bones. They finally over-fished the river, and now the piranhas are gone. I'm just funnin y'all....

Sounds like here in Texas! They've been trying to keep out North-bounders from South of the Rio Grande for years, but most attempts have been unsuccessful! Or met with opposition. Are y'all allowed to shoot rabbits and dingoes? Just wondering...

Sounds like here in America! Texas scoundrels mastered that technique many years ago. Texas needed roads. Brown and Root built roads. Everybody in Houston worked for B&R at some point, on one project or another. Times were great!

Did it work?

You mean to say that there's a word for it?

In vino veritas. But it's a little early for me for either one...

It sounds fun, but, as insane as people are, they might retaliate. Key your car, bash your mailbox, torch your house, who knows how far some animals will go? Sorry. I'm not feeling funny tonight....

This must be a new IRS Agent! It's really only 3.27 years, after taxes and interest.

It looks like the lady on the right has a camera. Cool!

Her husband...

This is ingenious! It allows you to apply torque in line with the lug nuts! You can step on the handle, and it applies a lot more torque than a regular wrench! I would want to fashion a base plate, so it doesn't sink into the Houston sand and mud. Mud? We haven't seen mud in a month and a half!

That's what Sylvester Cat said!

Here's the map for the Texas World Tour. Paris to Italy to London to Praha to New Ulm to Liverpool to Moscow to Geneva to Naples to Athens. 1233 miles, or about 20 hours of driving. Most Texans could make it in about 15 hours or so. I excluded Odessa, which is out in West Texas. Named the same as a city in Russia. Not to be confused with West, Texas, home of the Czech Stop, with the best kolaches in Texas! It's at Exit 353 on I-35. Tell them Brazos John sent you.
