Fully half of this shit happened yesterday. The more things change, the more things stay the same. Plus çe la change, plus çe la meme chose.

Well said, Jack.

Well said, Jack.

Thanks. I have always loved you. Don't tell the plebs, they'll never respect you once they find out the truth.

I have no wish to damage your brand.

Absolutely charming old-time scene, thank you Rix!  I first read that as "Jive turkey" though hahaha I wonder how Mr. Hallgren got it home?  To be fattened for Christmas, I suppose?

Haha, turkey on a leash, I think there's a song there.  Glad you liked the clipping, K.  Of course I had you in mind when I posted it.  I'll try to cover the upcoming gathering on Dec. 10th.

Sounds more like "white lightening" in the pail. Isn't gasoline kind of stinky? Either way, odd thing to just leave on your porch.

I had to look up WTAF "locomotor ataxia" is;  apparently associated with venereal disease...  Flirty wife indeed, or I suppose it could be Mr. Smith himself difficult to say.

I happened to run across this online a few days ago while looking for a vintage cake-decorating stand.  Apparently pails of gasoline were a thing.

Much to my mild embarrassment... I didn't actually have to look that up. At least it's not autism.
