FWIW-Although I didn’t appreciate it at the time, evidently the good Lord spared me from ever being tempted by this grotesque practice when I was about eight.

Friends and we’re riding our Stingrays around the neighborhood and I looked back to yell keep up to the slackers and hit a parked plumber’s truck at full speed. I slid forward on the frame and smashed the young Misanthrope’s testicles into the handlebar post.

I briefly blanked out, fell over and threw up from the pain. I suppose I should have told my parents, but I never did.

My pals had great sport at my misfortune.

As they say, it’s only funny until someone gets hurt, then it’s hysterical.

Whether or not DTRT belongs wasn’t my point. I believe it does, though not at number one.

The author is knowledgeable and film savvy, but is far too clever for his own good.

He bows to the woke zeitgeist and panders to it by some of his selections.

That none of the films I listed earned his favor hints at film criticism more concerned with prevailing social winds than applying his stated criteria to American cinema.

It’s too austere for me by far. It needs to stop, I agree.

It seems too modern and too much marble for Joanna Gaines however.

Is she really the progenitor of this design? Certainly she likes and sells bright white which I don’t care for too much either.

She seems small potatoes to be credited with starting a whole architectural movement exemplified in that house. Doesn’t she sort of favor melding Farmhouse/Cottage/French Country? Certainly they existed before the Gaines came on the scene.

The house pictured seems more a corrupt carry over from the influences of International Modernism and the Bauhaus crowd. Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier and so forth. Stark, colorless, proletarian except with too many indoor curves and other architectural deviations from the harsh, strictly functional straight and narrow.

Happy Fathers Day one and all!

Strawberry.
With condensed cream.
For five decades now, ever since I turned my back on my first love spearmint.

As an aside, some here might wonder what TulaneLSU’s preference would be given his comprehensive erudition vis a vis the New Orleans Snowball phenomenon and his reviews and rankings of the Crescent City’s finest stands. I, for one, wonder and, barring his having been permanently banned or something, demand he weigh in here.

Perhaps there are others who hold dim hopes he might reintroduce himself with a simple answer to this most pertinent of questions. Dim hope isn’t no hope.

The so-called Royals have said nothing.

This is significant.

Why are Kate and William, as presumptive King and Queen, not outraged and leading the charge demanding justice for all the little girls not so different from their daughter Charlotte -aside from their not being “Royal”?

Maybe the blokes from Hertfordshire and Regent’s Park ought to be let loose with open ended rules of engagement.

Razor Girl by Carl Hiaason

I think he wrote an account of him getting back into golf in his fifties after a long hiatus from the game. Hysterically funny.

I’ve just started re-reading The Caine Mutiny, The Bedford Incident, and The Sand Pebbles.

I’ll probably finish them and go to Neptune’s Inferno about the Navy’s street brawl with the Imperial Japanese Navy during the fight for Guadalcanal.
