  1. WTF are doing here defending Stoners? You got Your's! Now You gotta get the Plebs to vote in the booth. ?
  2. Agree... It's a plant. During the "Age of Sail" was grown all over for rope/riggings. It's a superior plant to cotton. Insect resistant, cold hardy, better fibers, etc... Yet, ingest it... How do we fend off the "Stoner Malaise" unless You are super 3 Sport Johnny with a boot up His arse. I just don't see substituting one problem for another, and creating a whole economy around it as the answer. But... Hey! Let Us Try!
  3. Fair enough! #SoSad LoL... Outlier. You got drive! Who the hell goes to Fairbanks! I am not even that crazy and got cold Caucasian blood! ?
  4. Yeah... And weed will really help? "Jamie had a chance, well she really didInstead she dropped out and had a couple of kidsMark still lives at home cause he's got no jobHe just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot.." We are going to get people to work w/weed? Where? Lighthouse for The Blind® making clocks or rolling candles? You gotta be kidding. Booze You can actually labor on. The Royal Navy actually discontinued its daily grog ration tradition in the early 1970s. Oh BTW... How's that tuna melt going? Don't cast Me down to the Sodomites! ? Anyway... Gr8 song!
  5. Oh it's a personal weakness! But there is physical dependency. You can't have prohibition. History goes way back... With labor, the masses. A liquid is easier to regulate. What's our production output gonna look like substituting pot for alcohol though? The malaise factor has Me worried. Already got kids, generation that don't want to labor.
  6. I can't lay claim to this one. OC McCoy fired. Courtesy of Gugny: "McCoy got Rosened!" ?
  7. It's been exactly 500 years since the Protestant Reformation. The Catholics have done everything Martin Luther ever wanted and then some. Can't the Protestants be Catholics again? Can't the Boston Red Sox just be the New York Yankees now! ? Their sole existence is that they aren't the New York Yankees. But they are the Yankees. That's all they ever wanted to be!
  8. If you're normal weight go for it. If not? Why not eat before work. It's only 7 hours. I work shifts... That's what got Me in trouble. Eating @ work. I now do 12hr. Shifts. 0600-1800 or 1800-0600. I don't eat durinng work! 1700-Midnight is still a normal sleep pattern. Just go to bed right when You get home. Have a breakfast, lunch/dinner. If you're heavy, this will cut You down quick! That's what jump started me! ...When I was heavy. I worked 1400-Midnight during a maintenance project we had. All I did was sleep, work, wake and eat... Then back to work. Just my 2¢ BTW... Get too routine on these off shifts, that's when the pounds pack on!
  9. That's all My Grandmother had on hand @ Her House soda-pop wise. 8-packs (remember the 16oz. Glass bottles) of Vernor's. Ahhh... the memories. Ordered to sleep w/commands like: "idz spac!!" (go to sleep), waking to Polka music on Saturday morning, 8-packs of Vernor's, the smell of mothballs (don't ask, don't all old Polish Ladies use mothballs in the closet)... ...Damn You PTR, You jog some memories! LoL
  10. LoL... I read this like six times! I was like WTF am I missing here! ? Darn pesky: "r." Messes everything up!
  11. Tell You what! Take one for the team! She's Yours. ? I guess She isn't that well off after all: https://www.ajc.com/entertainment/fans-raise-197k-gofundme-for-gilligan-island-actress-dawn-wells/lMPkQmKkmziXOFtzuwkRCI/
  12. How the kids are spoiled today! Son's Cooper S has "anti-roll." You got 2 seconds to get from brake to accelerator and off the clutch and go before You start rolling back down hill. That's eternity! Not new tech, I think VW or Subaru invented it as "hill lock" or something in late 1970s or '80s. It's rather slick and would come in handy in SanFran. Years ago, I was outside Boston, driving the sister inlaws early 90s manual Camry (the lady folk were "tired") back from White Mountains in New Hampshire. We get to hill by Her house and She's like: "I wait right here at the base of the Hill... Not by light, that's crazy up there!" I am like: "Are You kidding, that's like 300 feet away. I will wait on hill by light!" Let's just say I gave that clutch a good workout! What could last 150,000 miles in Illinois, I probably give that clutch a 75,000 lifespan in that part of New England! LoL...
  13. Can one also apply "tragedy of commons" to this? Hear me out in a creative way I mean. Back then everybody has one income. All making roughly the same. All roughly buying the same stuff, doing the same things in life. Then along comes one family that sends the other spouse off to work. Bam! There comes new shiny car in the driveway and family trip to DisneyLand. The other neighbors see this, they want part of the action. First thing you know, they are all doing it and competing for less and less resources. Things go to shambles around the community. Now... If this highly competitive game needs to be stopped, aren't You pushing for some kind of collective, socialist system based on strict social structure? Somebody staying home, not earning a wage. I wouldn't think You of all people would espouse that. How can You, TYTT, tell a family that one spouse, even worse just the females to stay home! That's unAmerican! The first taste of this didn't begin with the feminist movement. The feminist movement was born out of War Time (WWII) production. The taste of getting ahead of Your neighbor, competing to do better, move up the social ladder. The "commons" is industry, production, the job market & economy. Feminism is a scapegoat. It will readjust itself when the Boomers kick the bucket and automation, tech factors in. Such a libertarian telling others what they can and can't do that has slow societal impact even @ best! Who gets to make the rules once these highly competitive games get started? Just My 2¢.
  14. She was the only smart one too. When She signed contract, She didn't take all the $$$ at once and Her agent had told Her to take the residuals from syndication. Which, was so NOT done back then. Supposedly She is still making bank today off the show. ?? I gotta verify this, but I remember reading it. LoL...
  15. Okay. Case in point. 1951, right before Robert Walker's death @ age 32!! Dude looks older than 32! Now, they try and look 16 @ 32! Maybe it was the drugs?
  16. Yep... Nice looking. That deep, almost black green is awesome. That color only matched by the Pininfarina Green on the vintage Ferraris. This is the be all and end all of green! Verde Scuro: https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/rare-alloy-bodied-ferrari-275-gtb-be-star-bonhams-new-bond-street-sale 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB ‘Longnose’: That's green! Almost black! Fug that Ford! This green chases all unluckiness away! (Green is unlucky color as a vehicle, race car! ?)
  17. That's right... I forgot. LoL... Carry on My Wayward Son, there will peace when You are done. Burn one down for me. And don't cry for me... I will remember: Said, said, said, I remember when-a we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown And then Georgie would make the fire lights, I seh A log wood burnin' through the night Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, I seh Of which I'll share with you My feet is my only carriage And so I've got to push on through But while I'm gone Everything's gonna be all right!!! ?
  18. "I am the great cornholio, need TP for My bunghole!" Whenever I put a shopping list together and We need toilet paper, I always put down: TP for Our bungholes Wife hates it!!! LoL..
  19. You got lucky. Outlier. Or... Very good at self-regulation. Not many good @ that. Also came of age, educated during the dawning of the new tech. That helps? Lung cancer ever worry you? Smoking that is. Joint cough? @ShadyBillsFan: Not directed @ You. The above post that is.
