In what seems to me to be the not so distant past (1980s and 1990s), this sentence would have made absolutely ZERO sense to anyone, and those of us who heard someone utter such insanity would probably have called the police to perform a welfare check on you as well as search for some really good drugs at your domicile.

Oh, YEAH! I know right where this was too! We used to stop off there on the way back home to Kentucky after visiting family in Mississippi and Louisiana for the summer and we'd load up on fireworks to terrorize the neighborhood back home. (Sparklers were about as wild as they'd allow you to have in Kentucky back in those days.) I'm pretty was just outside of Chattanooga.
On another note, I had that same Firestone 20" bicycle that is on top of the car in the second photo. Only difference is that mine was red.
Great pic's nes!!!

I think LSU beats Aggie in Baton Rouge, and probably with a little better than a squeak-by score. The biggy, though, is how Ole Miss performs after that HUGE win over LSU last Saturday. There was a lot of emotion spent in that game and Ole Miss flat out waxed our arse in that first half. Then that 2-pt conversion made a pretty solid statement about their confidence. But the real grit of that Ole Miss team will be on display this weekend when we find out if last week's win was fueled by emotion or prowess.
Should be an interesting game to watch coming out of Gainesville.

re: ESPN is full of shitheads.... UT v UT at noon and Tamu v LSU,
Posted by Swamp Angel on 9/24/26 at 8:37 am to lewis and herschel
Sorry your feelings are getting hurt over the UT v UT at noon and A&M v LSU being the night game. But, you see, night games have always been a thing at LSU. It's the way the world works. It's not out of the norm to see Tennessee or Texas playing during daylight hours. It is very uncommon to see LSU playing at Death Valley when the sun is still high in the sky.
Y'all Georgia boys just worry about what y'all do behind those hedges at Sanford and the rest of us will worry about playing football as it should be played at our respective venues.

re: Look what our woke, Leftist education system has done for our country
Posted by Swamp Angel on 9/24/26 at 6:56 am to Geekboy
The precipitous decline began long before the Woke/DEI crap of the past eight or ten years took hold. US academic scores started falling almost as soon as the Dept of Education became a cabinet level agency in 1980. That, and the teachers unions, have led to education being seen as an opportunity for long-term employment with no fear of dismissal once tenure has been attained.
Even in that grand decade of the 1980s there was a very noticeable undercurrent that gave one the feeling that there was more interest in simply presenting the text than in teaching and ensuring that students understood the concepts. Teachers taught formulas rather than an understanding of the logic applied. Memorization is NEVER a substitute for understanding.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is from the cover of the paperback printing of one of the books of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Pellucidar series.

re: Have you ever established a feeding routine with a wild animal and then moved away?
Posted by Swamp Angel on 9/22/26 at 6:23 am to Buster Swift
When I lived near Orlando there was an alligator and a family of five racoons I used to feed pretty regularly. They'd actually come to the door on the patio every evening about two hours before sunset and wait for their Oreos, 'Nutter Butters, and marshmallows. That was twenty-five years ago, so I doubt the racoons are still around, but I often wonder how the alligator is doing. (I named her "Gussie.")
re: Golding will never again
Posted by Swamp Angel on 9/20/26 at 4:02 pm to kajunman
Golding may have a very strong core assembled by Kiffin, but that has nothing to do with the fact that they flat had us for an appetizer in that first half. They came out with something to prove, and I think we'd be remiss to let on like they didn't fully present and win their case.
Hats off to the Ole Miss team. That was nothing but a buzz saw being run by a nest of some seriously pissed hornets! Those wounds are gonna take a little bit of tending to get healed up.
Just... DAYUM!

Definitely! Been doin' it since at least 1980. I remember this basketball game quite well. Loved watching Rudy Macklin rub Kentucky's nose in it the night this was taken! (Yeah we were a little over the top back then, but we were surrounded by Kentucky fans.)
re: Should Landry Kiffin attend in the Ole Miss student Section with LSU colors?
Posted by Swamp Angel on 9/18/26 at 1:33 pm to Chad504boy
Per Landry's comments on social media, she still loves Ole Miss and is enjoying her time there as a student. I think it's okay if she wants to wear her Red and Blue for this game. She'll come around to her senses in that regard eventually.

Wine?
Yes.

No. Ole Miss has cornered the market on whine and there isn't enough for anyone else.

It's only in the student section. Considering all the emotion focused on this game, I don't think it's necessarily a bad move by Ole Piss. It'll most certainly prevent a lot of fights breaking out in the student section where youth and alcohol will be fueling the excitement. This one action is more than likely helping keep a lot of people from visiting the pokey and having to bond out over a completely avoidable round of fisticuffs brought on by the bravery of intoxication. (It's a lot easier to remove the mixture Purple and Gold with Red and Blue from the equation than to remove the mixture of emotions and alcohol.)
