  1. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/17/obituaries/dick-dale-dead.html Would go on to influence so much more: Mash the two on your mobile device. Interesting about left-handedness: "...Being left-handed, he initially had to play a right-handed guitar, but then changed to a left handed model.[16] However, he did so without restringing the guitar, leading him to effectively play the guitar upside-down (Hendrix, in contrast, restrung his guitar), often playing by reaching over the fretboard rather than wrapping his fingers up from underneath. Dale is also noted for playing his percussive, heavy bending style, using what most guitarists consider very heavy gauge strings (16p, 18p, 20p. 38w, 48w, 58w[19] guitar string manufacturers do not make string sets for standard tuned electric guitars heavier than 13 to 56)..." RIP. Oh... The big blonde has got it happening!
  2. Humility is a virtue. You are a very special person Mead. The Christian Faith will now seat YOU also on the right hand of the Father... With your older brother! You ain't no Buttercup! Now... I will take the time to pass another Mead-like story of humility and cheerful service to others. Take note people! This is a movement being started! Another beautiful story: "A wise woman who was travelling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveller who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveller saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveller left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. 'I've been thinking,' he said. 'I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone.' Sometimes it's not the wealth you have but what's inside you that others need…..A Precious Gift inside you. Oh, how I want to be that wise old woman someday." The moral of the story? You'll get your house back Mead. And... The lawn will be mowed and hedges trimmed! I WANNA, WE WANNA BE LIKE MEAD! Lead us Mead...Lead us! My brother inlaw in Minnesota, bought a policy to protect themselves from this kind of thing... BEFORE they bought their house. I think @BringBackFergy was the underwriter. Gotta get smart in these tough times.
  3. Same with all four my grandparents. Early on, they had a driver's license both grandfathers... But usually to borrow a family or friend's vehicle... Like the day my 9 year old father ran away from home during World War II. He hitched a freight in Cheektowaga and ended up in Rochester. My grandfather had to borrow a car, Take a day off of work and pick him up at the police station in Rochester. My grandfather's reply upon seeing my father in Rochester: "Wait till I get you home you little bass...Terd!" The police officer looked at my father and said: "He hits you, you run right back here." The whole ride... My father was like: "Don't YOU hit me!" Another day off and a borrowed car! LMAO! The old-timers should have been car owners! LoL... But... I digress... Funny story of a borrowed car. Got a couple of other funny stories... But I will save it for Dyngus Day in a month. Don't want to rain on the Irish parade...
  4. Same here. My father was a pita when he worked on the railroad. Our family makes their name sound Irish going way back because the railroad was all Italian & Irish. He said he'd wear orange (even know we are Roman Catholic) on St.Patrick's Day... Always starting a fight. Of course back in the day when you actually could solve work place disputes with your fists. /smh... My grandfather, uncles all worked on the railroad too. When my father first got on, the different ethnicities knew how to pick on others... The Irish running the show were no exception... Until one proved themselves by slapping around the ones that bullied. That earned respect. Oh... Happy St.Pat's Day from a Polish guy with an Irish sounding name. FiL is South Buffalo Irish...
  5. No. The 1/3 Hollywood bribery racket does not get lumped into the third discretionary bracket. It changes the game for the brainacs bracket. That's why it is a criminal offense. It gets lumped into with the brainacs. That's why it's a problem Are people really missing this? I am really not surprised. Our society is so far gone.
  6. I am not sure you are following what DC is saying? Effing up the integrity of the admissions system is punishable.
  7. Wait a sec! Is that 11 wieners thrown in there? I take that's a yes! And those two hockey sticks, both field hockey and ice... Remember to "shoot it in the five hole!" You're one sick puppy! Gym class must have been real fun when you were a kid during the last ice age! ? Edit: 4 sticks. And what do they call that stupid thing in cricket?
  8. I gave you a skeptical because of the bolded part... LoL... I am on to you!
  9. ...Sprinkled on top with grated frumunda cheese. From under what I don't want to know! EDIT: @Gugny (so He gets the notification) LoL... I just asked my wife her three favs: #1: Golden Lentil #2: Cream of mushroom #3: Tomato bisque Gag my a spoon outside of the golden lentil. At least she got #1 right!!!
  10. Happy Birthday! For the 3rd time! Celebrate!
  11. I tend to like cold food. Soup is nice if not too hot. Another fav: Gazpacho
  12. Yep!!!... That mugshot should clean up nice! Cop photographers gotta learn that the 70-105mm focal length tends to be the most flattering. LoL. She is 25. So time was on her side too.
  13. We saw him at the Opener. Maybe that was before his smackdown @ the border? Same here in Canada. The metric system has a funny way of reminding people they aren't in Kansas anymore.
  14. Holy Phuc...!!!! Wow... You gotta be kidding... Like @meazza said... Hey Buddy, what's up... Just saying hi!
  15. Give AI and automation a little more time. Let it get it's sights set a little better on the legal profession and dive into the huge money of that cesspool industry.
  16. Boo hoo Buttercups! I have been working swing-shift for almost 30 years. Just look @ Me... I am fine and a model of mental fitness! Can you believe these Snowflakes complaining about 1 measly hour of missed sleep in March. You get it back in November. /smh... It really depends on location. I am right on the start of a time zone. 60 miles away. I prefer being on Eastern. There is a 59 minute swing over the 15° of the time zone.
  17. Am I advised to sample it? Who's lacing it with the strychnine right before I take a scoop? Silver lining: I will miss the game & won't see the poison on the field! Just don't eat @BringBackFergy 's salsa @ the HomeOpener! https://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article227493899.html
  18. No. In this case: Tune. Singular for You , a one note fussy orchestra. You really are going to continue to travel down your anal retentive road? That's all you got? LoL...
  19. Thanks for the advice, I don't need the advice... Never asked for it. It's a soup thread for heaven's sake. Hey Ace... You're not my teacher on how to cook, order or eat NJ Italian. I can read what's in parentheses... LoL No wigging out. Just taking umbrage and getting into a pissing contest. Humility is a virtue. All of sudden Chef Jim says to call it by its proper name... You gotta be kidding? Next time Chefsplain in someone elses post. I don't name this stuff... LoL... It's obvious what the real name is. You are like Uncle Buggs a real Looney Tune: Don't screw up Clyde. He'll be fine with out You. You're not an influencer on cooking and the Italian dialect. LMAO...
  20. I don't care... You're just being snobbish. It's rude. Sorry... But a ton of "idiots" call it "pasta fazool"... Just like baloney is interchangeable with bologna... To a lesser extent because it's a negative knock. As I did to imply a knock on your fancy ways. I am not the one that named it NJ Italian. Blame the Jersey Shore. I mean... From My original post it's pretty obvious there is proper Italian and then there is "pasta fazool"... It's a commoner soup. Or was at least first a commoner soup (no meat). Don't Blue Blood Italian appropriate... Make it sound fancier than it is. The soup was originally eaten by lower income folks... Basically "idiots" as you would call then. It's Americanized. Just saying... Next time leave what everybody knows under your Stetson Capt. Obvious. It's not impressive. So be it an idiot to call it pasta fazool. A commoner soup appropriated by the hoity toity. Gee... What a shock. This is America, speak English. Sorry, I can't help
  21. Kinda. Just skim the scum...
  22. EDIT: Like good old school Polish soup. Like bladder soup. The trick is to boil the p iss out of it! You get over the smell. ?
  23. Same here. But only travel every few months. He's most likely not. I have bad sentence structure too.
  24. Hope I don't come off as a @Chef Jimuptight Polish type snob (is that even possible). But I made the spelling correction. LoL... Just phu... ing around now. I know you don't mind! ??
