ok now, that's funny. :~)
I've finally figured it out. Packy's posts are intended to be a kind of performance art. Or something.
I am at least ready to unveil the alpha-test of AutoPacky:
Please--if you can spend, or three percussionists, and blues guitar riffs and sitting in the comical bumper sticker "If we hear of it. Here is pleasure. One, is a big, loud, expensive, flashy Harley people his age(37) thoroughly detested back 40-45 years on rich food and racket. I sing in one tourist trap. It, is not goody-goody. Maybe, just going to say this: 1)This guy doesn't mean it isn't just maybe He's dead. It's Money for not setting a circular argument that helps you some. Can we hear of drum sticks to come up to some youtube videos of the Achievement of the veterinarian and the radio or opossum. I would laughingly call "Politically-Correct Meat". Range Fed, whatever. I annoy anyone, but hardly popular, back in Europe. What you can all arguable benefits we have no personal photo, but hardly popular, back 40-45 years later. "We" may be going snorkeling or Sirius, except on the difference between Davenport and very, very favorite, on the guilt. But, it's like the USPS) who survived Viet Nam & saying--"well Packy just noise, all noise, all very easy to be just noise, all very wealthy. But guess he was the Midwest, 10-12 hours each way, cooped up with drowned sailors and migrant workers and meeting it! In answer to Luxurious Hawaaii, the cars that worship and truck driver, railroad laborer, usually with drowned sailors and find it isn't just because YOU don't like it doesn't get into a service counter that was current, but the cards. It's Money for chocolate-covered espresso beans, and in a rock idol are doing particular species a HUGE one of charisma, like a circular argument that is the Harley who will prolly go up to town? Otherwise, you are you look 45 mph zone, bumped a Biker Rally. The thing that he like only valid reason is to say this: 1)This guy who survived Viet Nam & diligently at a Deli, a victim of the all that he has, and sanctimoniously accuse me of congenital defects. It is the only valid reason is supposed to waste gas and very, very early age;we envy him, and crashed head-on into minor trouble, like he died, owned the median, and in the Achievement of years of being required to town? Otherwise, you really, really Support Our Troops, and do it very wealthy. But I first came to The Trip To Hawaii with as a crabby old man & diligently at the founder of congenital defects. It is all that sets Bieber apart, is wasted effort. Oh, yeah--that's what you are being a Biker Rally. The Black Hills in an affluent background, did not setting a "Holy War", is just here(a place that reminds me of his monster ego "bike", and non-rugged appearance. Sinatra kind of the only in lieu of being a Deli, a crabby old man & vibrate like to the veterinarian and blues guitar virtuoso. He appeals to some youtube videos of the rationale of Trader Joe's? He was current, but for the trip, up to "Clapton, BB King, The tattooed, longhaired, wage-earners that worship and very, very easy to work (except at sunset. Then, there are so on. He didn't need for a curving freeway on-ramp, but a story of nowhere at any moment---- Kill People---People in airports.. Then you bought a big, loud, expensive, flashy Harley who changed lanes in certain well-paying blue-collar jobs, such as fast and a regular basis. Support Our Troops, and with $100-$200 for something to your clothing, that we hear of the Japanese own it, anyway. As an aside, I first came to just maybe a consumerist symbol of the variant, regional usage, like the Harley to The Trip To Hawaii is to play overly-complex covers of nowhere at a Biker' obituary cliché: '"he died doing what 50-somethings REALLY love---pigging out on their way to cultivate an expanded product line beyond groceries, such as a very wealthy. But then, it is junk music, all the variant, regional usage, like the Death Trap Issue. Next: why they have all clichéd hair-band and non-rugged appearance. Sinatra kind of as he has, and very, very easy to satisfy your clothing, that you've somehow made it isn't it? Do what the USPS) who OD'd) that rare in here, and haul your cravings, but trying to a "Holy War", is rich food and truck driver, railroad laborer, usually in airports.. Then you get in the veterinarian and do what 50-somethings REALLY love---pigging out on a certain Pizza place that is all it is. The highlight of other rationale:--JOBS! Meat creates JOBS!--for ranchers and racket. I have is the cards. It's Money for the "Luaua" Loo-Oww or surfing. The second problem I annoy anyone, but a 45 mph zone, bumped a guy doesn't mean it is. The Trip To be just the variant, regional usage, like to Luxurious Hawaaii, the veterinarian and find it isn't good", I'd like music that worship and non-rugged appearance. Sinatra kind of other dead guys get their Harleys. A former co-worker(production machine operator, and truck driver, railroad laborer, usually in the big responsibility. And, last but I guess he had no personal photo, but for not sincere, though. Live with around 20+ years ago. This guy wasn't even BORN yet, but the car wrecks, pushed his monster ego "bike", and cosmetics; maybe a 45 again, by finding a favor by finding a concrete curb and they use ball bats in S.D., like nothing better than taking his 50's. So sorry. He didn't need for nothing. For the big deal with around the job. Nose to pound away. I've encountered were on rich food and cardiologists and meeting it! In answer to "do", as he does onstage. Fans marvel at all get in lieu of the recently-deceased owner of consuming alcohol and oncologists, etc. Don't Usually Kill People. Like the radio or three percussionists, and beverages. Then, to "12". But then, it comes to come true.

Do you remember the Joyce scholar we had here on this site? I don't remember who it was, but I'm sure she is gone now (as are most of the members of this once robust website.) She had read the thing several times. Me--I just read it once for a lit class.
I tried to avoid lit classes, which was kind of hard as English was one of my majors. It would be easier now; I'd just study technical writing and other expository forms.
ETA: No, I don't remember a Joyce Scholar--perhaps they were before my time.
Well, some things have definitely not changed since the old SLN boards. Glad to see iris lily's ex boyfriend is here too. He was always great for entertainment value on the old boards too. ;)
Hey, ittybittybobby or was it littlebittybobby. :) He used to drive Chrystal and Jonathan crazy....
Yeah, Bae, one does not simply write a wall of text. It takes time, skill, and panache. Among other things. ;)

Yea probably, write a whole post of bait, criticizing some band, leading the reader on as if your actually going to say the name of the band at least, and then don't. Although it's apparently some band only 10 people in the world have ever heard of anyway (although apparently it still sells $200 tickets), so I guess I can't be arsed to care either.
Possibly Lenny Kravitz if I had to take a guess. Cause I can't think of any artist that really fits the criteria and well there is the hippy vibe. So am I right? Do I win? What's my prize? Get to come back ON Jeopardy again tommorow?

Although they did win 5 Grammys so guess more then 10 people on the planet heard of them.
I haven't bought a concert ticket in years. Not a fan of concerts of any kind and so realy wouldn't pay to see anyone at all. Heck I won't even pay to see a movie (unless it has "awesome" special effects. I just borrow them from the library for free - or a buck or two at the most from Redbox. Did see Robert Cray in concert though because a friend had free tickets.

I'm thinking it doesn't matter who the band is, if there even is one specific to the rant. I believe Packy is simply giving us another example of things people may spend money on without his approval.
I'm considering starting a list so that I can be sure to enjoy each and every item. Being the object of scorn is one of my hearts desire.

I wanted to know the band because I like to go to concerts and thought I might want to get tickets! !pow!
But the performers I like tend be on the older side of 37.

Frankly I don't care enough to guess again. It's really too boring to bother doing research on stuff because Packy wants me too. I'll pass. I might have actually watched a youtube or something if a name was provided.

Joe Bonamassa. I've never heard anything by him actually.
We mostly hang out on the porch with our hound dogs here, and make our own music. Y'all are welcome to drop by, just bring some refreshments for the bass fiddle player.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lPvPFOBtRNQ/UOHX2dS4YxI/AAAAAAAAHDM/FH0ooWE5ibg/s720/gse_multipart1675112953521401029.tmp.jpg
What-his-face---alan made a comment here about Harley's, and it does have some relevance, even though that wasn't his intent.
Actually, "What-his-face" has never brought up Harleys, although he has responded to some of your comments about them. I've never been clear on whether you limit your disdain to the Harley brand or you use the word (as some do) as a reference to all motorcycles. Maybe you could clear up my confusion?
Being a live and let live kinda guy, it really doesn't bother me that people choose to spend their money differently than I might, although I understand that not everyone lives by that simple concept and some get really judgemental about others and their personal choices.
I've never heard Joe Bonamassa's music, so I probably wouldn't go to one of his concerts, even though I really appreciate anyone who masters the art of stringed insturments. Now, if you were talking about the California Guitar Trio, that would be another story. I've not only paid moderately high ticket prices to see them, but also travelled in order to do so. Some experiences are worth it!
Edited to add: Coincidentially, I see that Mr Bonamassa will be appearing locally in November. Tickets range from $79 to $125. https://ev9.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3ACAA%3A1415%3AMH1118 E%3A&linkID=cinarts&shopperContext&pc&caller&appCode&groupCode=BON&cgc
I've been at that venue many times and the prices don't seem at all unreasonable to me, but maybe I'm dumb.
You might actually like Joe Bonamassa Alan - if you are a fan of blues guitar. I like him myself (pretty much like anyone who plays blues) but don't go to concerts or buy music. I think he's British (or maybe Irish) so his stuff is sort of different then regular old American Blues. Think he played for the Queen of England recently as I saw him PBS (I think). But I could be wrong about all that. He sounds very American to me.
To me music - well any kind of entertainment - is in the eye (ear) of the beholder and what one person likes another hates. I hate Jazz for instance. Can't stand most of it but get that other's love it. Same with most pop - don't enjoy most of it. Now give me Metal - or old Guns N Roses with Axel singing and Slash on the guitar and I'm a happy camper!
Stevie Ray Vaughn - another great IMHO. One of my favorite blues guitarists of all time. Too bad the good die young.

I've got to agree with Alan and Spartana here. I can't fathom the strong judgmentalism over how other people spend their money, or other people's taste in arts or recreation.
Lord, if I got upset about every person I deemed an idiot I don't think there would be enough room on the internet for me to carry on about them.
I have somehow escaped hearing op's artist of ire.
It sounds like he is really filling a vacuum in the music business right now... where is the soulsy, bluesy rock in mainstream music?
I am no music aficionado but it seems like the last time Rock made a stand was with Grunge in the early nineties.
Plenty of pop music out there, but no real Rock.
I've got to agree with Alan and Spartana here. I can't fathom the strong judgmentalism over how other people spend their money, or other people's taste in arts or recreation.
I can see that people here might not like certain things (bands, motorcycles, types of vacations, etc..) and wonder why anyone would want to spend so much money on those things. Is it because they really enjoy them or because it makes them look cool and trendy or because they are just following the herd? But I don't understand the need to personally insult or stereotype people in a negative way when that has nothing to do with the thread - and certainly isn't true. But as it's been pointed out, the OP is a former troll from the old SLF boards who's goal isn't to have discussions about things, but to insult and inflame anyone who makes different choices then they do.

Plenty of pop music out there, but no real Rock.I agree. I don't see too many blues bands now. At least not mainstream ones that have a national following (still some small bands in the south playing local venues). I often listen to "old" rock as well as newer stuff but there is more blending now so that I can't really tell what is rock and what is ...something else. The lines are blurred a bit more now.

Mainstream music in most genres is in a pretty sorry state generally. Not to say nothing new is good or anything, as some really is good, but most songs you might like at first and tire of after a few listens, it's like the cheap junk that falls apart after a few uses version of music. So blues may not be my preference as opposed to folk or country influenced rock - and anything melodic (keyboards :)) but ... the fact it has a druggy sound sounds like a real plus though, that can go in a direction I really like (ahem as music, as music ...).
I don't mind if someone wants to criticize people's choices with money as far as the social impact/externalities ("live and let die"). Like the eating tasty cows thread. But going after concerts - what are the roadies exploited or what? :~) At a certain point it becomes like chasing a speak of dust, or just the floaters in your eye, towards the receeding horizon.
But as it's been pointed out, the OP is a former troll from the old SLF boards who's goal isn't to have discussions about things ...
yea pretty much. Or find new ways to get attention like the cliffhanger of who the musician is, the great suspense ... only that suspense only lasted long enough to see there's no there there.

Packy - you shouldn't criticize people for not staying on topic when they can't figure out what the heck your topic is.
As for the music, that's a matter of taste. I know a lot of people who spend a relative fortune to attend the opera. It's what they get out of it.
I didn't participate in the "bitchy women" thread either, as the title got my dander up and I don't think it really conveyed what the OP intended (I did read the thread.) Part of being a member of a community like this one is cutting people slack.
I loved the graphic Bae, very apropos - and I'm a huge Sean Bean fan (as an actor.)

okay----guess what? joseph bonamasssa is making yet another return visit to springpatch!!!! but yeah---his noisefest will be later on this year, but tickkickks are going fast. priced in the $70-170 plus fees range! isn't that WONDERFUL? ha. now, if they'd PAY me that much to go, plus free tickicks and furnished ear plugs, i might show up. ha. (see photo)5973
I was willing to pay that much to see Simply Red's farewell tour a few years ago. (Apparently they were saying "Farewell USA" since they're still touring but not here.) Since I only needed a ticket for myself, I managed to get one seven rows from the stage at a sold-out Radio City Music Hall. The ticket was about $160 but I would have happily paid more; definitely worth the money.
People pay much much more than that for nosebleed seats for shows where you can't hear a thing over all the screaming. No thanks.

Ten years later,Packy is still telling people how to spend their own money.
If I had not had back to back lily shows in these past weeks I would have taken the train to Chicago and spent a few thousand to see The Rolling Stones at Soldier Field.
Our niece is taking her daughter to see Taylor Swift perform in Germany. They are already nearby, in Switzerland.
European travel is yet another thing Packy does not approve of. I would imagine this idea, Americans traveling to Europe to take in a pop concert, makes his head explode.

okay-----i have been going through the archives, and reading the posts of this "Packy" you are so troubled about. but yeah---"Packy" is bviously VERY brilliant and dispenses wit alsong with wisdom. Packy, like myself, does not have a "need" due to the feelings of inadequacy many people have, that causes them to expend scarce resources on being transported around & being fed and catered to, also referred to as "travel", in order to compensate. That being said, i am not a licensed psychologist, so am not allowed to diagnose anyone. that said, i am personally acquainted with a licenced psychologist, and not a week goes by that that person doesn't drive-n-eat; travel out-of-state, or buy tickicks to sit-n-watch some well-past-their-prime rock group in an auditorium. i have a theory, though, that a good many people who enter the mental health field come from a background of that type of dysfunction. anyway---i did stay home today, but after doing much research i had to travel to the nearest oreillys store and then to the third-nearest oreillys story to get some threaded brass fittings. i even got an extra set or two, because i will use them on another project, and will thus save a trip in the future. that, is what my file cabinets are for. i also put several of the kitties in the cool room, as it is hot, today. but yeah---no trips to lundumb for mee. nope. Zurra has so many interesting places to visit, anyhow. that said---the sound quality of studio-recorded music is usually MUCH better than that of that of stadium music. There are exceptions, such as bands who have not even released a record of their music, but play smaller venues, where their sound is purer. Yup. we will discuss this another time. so anyway---hope that helps you kids some.

Well, the subject is a climber as well as being a hippie. i don't think they are a native of the area; prolly a come-here from one of the blue states, trying to show us how cool they are. it works in a bank, but has extensive tattoos. yep. it frequents concerts; posted a cam-phot of your idol Carts and commented: "you should envy me!" the person has two children & is not very good-looking(nerdy), but expends a lot of effort trying to compensate. plus, expends a lot of effort(effort=resources) trying to be really cool, like wearing a rainbow dress, somewhere. it has large breasts and likes those plunging necklines. but yeah---i reckon they are augmented. they also posted another photo of a concert they were at that had an old guy who has been performing lame, annoying music since before she was even born. that said---she expressed very high praise for that musical quack. some people are just dumb. remember--you heard it from me, first. hope that helps you some. thankk mee.

Ha. but yeah---it has occurred to mee that if EVERYONE regularly went shopping at the wreckin' yard, that would pose a prollem or two. or more. plus, if all those wastefull consumers who get out and DRIVE like crazy until they wrecked their vehicle or the "wheels fell off"(as you kids like to say), changed their ways and took care of their vehicles by repairing them & drove more conservatively(like mee) that would pose some problems, too. I'd like to mention here that economics IS a social science<<just so you'll know, but yeah----demand would increase, so would scarcity, and of course---prices would rise, and price littlebittymee out of the wreckin' yard market. yup. that is what has happened with automotive machine shops. used to be half-dozen of them, here. but they've closed, one by one. now, the remaining two cherry pick their jobs; they only want the bigger jobs with lots of new parts sold at a big markup. they don't want DIY mechanics bringing littlebittystuff in. not profitable enough. see? but yeah Mr Al---you really NEED a big boat.

As I previously told you in response to your latest un-solicited message to me on Facebook, I don't need a boat. But, if you're looking for a focus for your dis-approval, I am considering replacing my camper with a larger fifth wheel which I believe would lead to longer periods of driving and eating (extending our travels from several months a year to perhaps 6 months each year), and this would of course require a larger truck. I'm exploring options on both now.

Yup. There's no place like home, so stay in it. it is where you have the most constitutional rights and the least vulnerability. So, why expose yourself to risk by venturing out needlessly, competing for road space with 18-wheelers? ? Yup.

okay----at the old theater that i toured last spring(for a $10 doantion) they had a concert the other night by a touring band from Callly-fornya that I have previously seen at a venue here next door to the theater---30 years ago, when that band had songs being played on the radio. Cost: $10, which was a lot to me, but I paid it. We all stood in line, and paid at the door; no tickkicks sold in advance. Well, I checked into tickiicks for this same old band appearing this week, 2024---and prices were $60-$80 plus upcharges they always stick you with. yep. and they assign you a seat, where you SIT. at the $10 concert in 1992 with the very same band, you could sit or stand and wander around to see & visit with anyone you knew. See? That particular group was also appearing on late-night TV shows when it was ENTERTAINMENT, not mindless libtard propaganda, like what passes for late-nite tv now. Yup. As you kids know, I do not listen to music for the lyrical content (words/messages); I just hear the musical sounds. That's it. But yeah----that particular band did appeal to some lefty causes, that I am aware of. The band leader(owner) slightly resembles a young Saul Pieman, and I figure Pieman & Gar****le is one of his influences. Juyst betcha. So anyway---ain't paying no stinkin' 50-60 bucks for that stuff. no way. Hope thatt helps you some. thankk mee.

Wow, $10 is a really great price for a show. Did you have a good time? Well, $10 is a lot to waste on stuff like that, but it wasa rare occasion anyway. Not something I did(or do) on a regular basis. This one gal that was a coworker or something came up to me & started chattering away about what-everr, and I put my arm around her. But she pulled away from littlebittymee and kept right on gabbing. Ha. Later on, I went so far as to go to the pawn shop or record resale shop, and buy a tape of that group. I no doubt still have it squirreled away, here. So, if I want to hear that band, I can listen to the tape. Not gonna waste gas & wear & tear on my car or risk a confrontation downtown. Too many troublemakers, here in Sfd, Zurra. Yup. Hope that helps ya some.

okay----there was a guy a few years back that inherited a going business from mommy & Daddy, and he even had his own plane! He also had about 3 kids from three different mommies, ad his new gfs a wonde-woman entrepreneur and he decided to fly them all to KC one evening to see a baseball game. Add it up. Wow. Well, on the way home, there was a storm here & he could not find the airport & he was radio-ing for heeeeelp! The plane was even equipped with a massive parachute, but it failed to deploy. But yeah---they crashed & burned in a pasture out in the country. RIP, everybody. But, the company the GF founded is still going. They were out here last year testing the water wells or traces of toxic chemicals. It said in her obit that she loved kitty-cats, too. They prolly shoulda all stayed home & ate pizza, that nite. Yup. Not worth the consequences ta see a ball game. Nope. The

No helicopter, and it's 900 SF, lol.

okay------update on one of my case studies---the person who cures insanity for a living that went to Affreaka and then place-hopped on the way back. So anyway---the subject has spent(wasted) a week in paree' & visited those catacombs beneath the street to check out the millions of neatly-stacked bones down there. Also, visited the museum ta see the stupid painting "Mona Lisa, which hasn't been stolen lately. but yeah---you'd tend to think----based upon Tee-Vee stereotypes, that a dedicated professional would place a top priority upon the responsibilities in their career of healing the sick, not out lollygagging around at tourist traps. But yeah---my study subject needs some counseling, i believe. hope that helps you some.

So anyway, she & her then-3rd husband wenta see Benny live in concert. it's not every day ya get a chance ta see Benny G, is it? Well, no more than a year later, said subject hasta take MORE time off from curing insanity for a trip ta florida, the armpit of america, and guess who she managed ta see LIVE and IN PERSON at another one a his concerts? yup--it was Benny G, all over again! just can't get enough of that benny g, i guess. but yeah--to clarify, it's the subjects 4th husband that the subject is touring with, now. they, love EXCESS luxuries, don't they? So, what's you kidses' story? Betcha can't waste time & money on stupid stuff like my case subject. Nope.

You should visit yourself there PacMan, there's a lot of history under those streets. We've visited Mona and her contemporaries 3 different times, you simply can't soak up the grandeur of the Louvre in a single day.

okay----my resources are presently committed to freshening up the good, used motor that i pulled at the wreckin' yard for my all-purpose Chevy Van that I purchased at a sheriffs auction. The motor in the van is good, but it's a 5.0 liter, and I figured I'd just go ahead and swap it out for a 5.7 liter. See? But no, I'm not gonna go ta gay paree and eat snails and foi gras & see that stoopid museum. See? if I wanna see stupid stuff, then i'll be down at the intersection in my lawn chair, this coming saturday nite, and watch the kids tear up the streets, which is something that is Verboten in those littlebitty teeny tiny towns waaaay up north in the middle o' nowhere. Besides, I don't like sitting on an airplane all cooped up, for hours at a time. Nope. Zurra has enough freaky stuff to keep me entertained, anyway. now you know. hope that helps you some.

okay----this'll shock the heck outa you kids, but it should not. i went uptown to run errands, with no less than 5 stops, and one o' the stops was at an asian place that usta be a chicken place(aaaawwwkki!---it's finger lickin' good! gbawwwwwk! ha.) and i ordered 1 small plain fried rice, and one cabbage rool & a water. $4, total. Well, it was good, as always. lotta money for rice, but i needed ta save time & get home and fewed those catts. yup. another thing i do, for something to "do", is read restaurant reviews. that, is where the stoopid people really are! like--i just read one on f-book by a local couple of inbred retard white trash that believe they've done the world a favor by reproducing, and the female was griping about how "my little boy didn't like the chicken" or whatever. she was spitefully & maliciously bashing the place because she couldn't have her way, and get a meal "comped". See? idiots. build the kamps, i say.

No kidding. That place is MASSIVE. pro tip. If you want to see the Mona Lisa when it’s not swarmed with people taking selfies go close to closing time. Going on thanksgiving day is also a good plan.

Good tip! And if you enjoy the Louvre take a short trip across the Seine and visit the Musee d'Orsay for a little more contemporary (mid 1800's to early 1900's) experience. That deserves a couple of days itself.

They were both great conquerors, but not as great as the various English Rorals, who at one time or another invaded most of the world. But anyway, we see Adolf in front of the arc de triumph(another useless structure, as is the Eye-Full Tower), but we don't see him taking advantage of the situation to grab the Moana-Lizzza, pack it into his 'cedes, and head off back to his HQ. Even though the media narrative insists those nasty, hateful not-sees looted and pillaged every valuable artwork they happened across. That moana-lizza is estimated to be worth over a billion $$$$, now, if it wever came up for sale. But Adolf, an artiste' himself passed it up. But yeah---you kids'll rationalize it with a sound bite such as: "everybody makes mistakes". ha. true, i will grant you. but that probably isn't why he passed it up. But yeah---i've already seen enough o' that picture; don't needta sit-n-fly-n-sit-n-eat-n-stand-n-look at some old painting, just to give myself bragging rights. nope. last i knew, my case study was sitting-n-eating while looking at the eye-full useless tower, and there were hundreds of other touristy-types(fools)present. Again, it is dumb. people are gullible. yup.

I believe the Nazi's did take it and store it in a salt mine in Austria along with countless other stolen artifacts which were then recovered after the war.

okay---hAl, those not-seez confiscated the usual types of "priceless artworks" , but they got a Faux Mona Lizza. but yeah--it didn't matter, it was all for show, anyway. who'd want a mona lizza, anyway? i'd get ridda that thing & take the moolah, anyway. but yeah---my case study arrived back from their trip, which included a WEEK in gay paree being touristy, and is whining about travel fatigue/jet laf, and how they must report in monday morning to resume curing insanity. ha. i, ontoh, took my littlebitty kids chair upta the intersection and sat-n-watched cruisers cruising, last nite for a coupla hours. next time, i'll go before dark before the traffic flow peaks. but, it was VERY interesting & I didn't hafta spend $$$$$$ on tickicks. ha. two words that are euphemisms for money-for-nothing are "fees" and "tickets". you receive nothing of any value in return. yup. hope that helps you kids some. thankk mee.

The Babylon Bee’s headline last week was about Trump adding RFK Junior to the ticket so as to attract future bullets in the Kennedy direction. Macabre perhaps, but funny.
I’m sad I have to agree with you, Kennedys seem to find many ways to be dumb.
I’ve heard several analyses of John Kennedy Jr’s actions as a pilot and his qualifications for flying in the weather conditions that crashed his plane. I am on the fence about how much was his fault in even getting into the plane that night. The popular consensus is that he was not qualified to fly in those conditions, but that is not a universal opinion.

Walken to play the creepy brother, though they coulda maybe got Tony Perkins or Bob DeNero(fanaticrat activist)to play the weird brother. so anyway, Chris is describing an imaginary car wreck to woody , and suddenly the scene switches to one of a terrifed Woody as a passenger in a car with Chris at the wheel.

okay-------i WAS going to start a thread about the following topic, but yeah---that would be DUMB. So, anyway, my topic is: This extended weekend is National-Get-Out-And-DRIVE weekend, also referred to as "Labor Day". But yeah---all I have to do is bike down to an interesection of the highways(made for transporting goods, enabling emergency vehicles & utility services, employees to get to their jobs, and you'll see automobiles and especially those Monster Pickups whizzing by, as though they are in a race. I can't understand where all Those People are going? My best guess in thaaqt they're only participating in the get-your-miles-in contest that is a part of get-out-and-drive-weekend. So anyway----there's a company from Texcess that built a gas station with 100 gas pumps,( but won't allow commercial vehicles to refuel), and they were BUSY---all pumps occupied. But yeah---you can also go inside the store and get YUMMY Texcess BBQ sammmiches for ONLY $15. tHAT WAY, YOU CAN DRIVE-N-EAT, and get your miles in, without losing any time. Yup. But guess what? littlebittymeee will NO)T be going anywhere this weekend; I must stay here and wage war against the bumper crop of vegetation we've had this year. Yup.

But first---you kids gotta have head-to-toe tattoos, including your face. Then you need those sleeveless undershirts, like what old men usta wear. Plus, various weapons. Then----drive around in a stolen car, with other gang members, looking for things to steal and people to assault & rob. Yup. But yeah, go for it.
