Hey, what were we talking about again?  :confused:

When I die bury me in a P38.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!

This thread reminded me of an an encounter I had with a nice librarian in January.  She wished me a happy new year. Instead of just returning the sentiment I got all conspiratorial and leaned over the counter. "I should tell you something..."
"What?"
"You know, if this keeps happening every year...we're all going to die."
" :huh"

It was great.

When first posting on this subject I was a young lad of 57.  I'm very close to 60 now.

Some things I find myself doing now.

Network TV. = turning it off.

New Casts = sensationalism instead of "Goodnight Chet, Goodnight Dave, and goodnight from NBC News."

When driving around during the Summer scanning to see if kids are playing baseball....anywhere in the neighborhood.

Sadly I find none.  Unless it's organized children aren't interested.  No creativity I guess.

Newspapers= canceled subscriptions.

Cable News= looking for cleavage  ;)

New Movies = Special effects with little or no substance or authenticity.

I Miss= John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum and Charlton Heston great Actors.

I Miss = Katherine Hepburn, Yvonne DeCarlo, Maureen O'Hara,  also great Actors.

I Miss = AM radio from the 50s and 60s'.

Geez....the list gets longer....

Actually now that I think about it, none of us should even be alive.  No car seats to put the babies in, didn't wear seat belts and the cars weighed as much as light tanks.  No bike helmet and no knee pads, heck, usually in the summer, no shoes!  Played with chemisty sets that had poisons in them (I had one that had mercury in it), bought the kids wood burning sets (basically a kids version of a soldering iron), I even remember a rock and mineral sample kit I received one Christmas that had asbestos in it.  In the summer or on weekends we were out all day and into the night, my parents had a vague idea where we were (usually somewhere in the county).  So I survive all of that and it turns out it's hamburgers that's gonna kill me.   :O
