Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Several episodes of the Flash TV series. There was a lot of anachronistic goings-on (rather like with Batman TAS). Lots of interesting cars, with Citroen DS-19s in frequent evidence. I also recall the first-generation Ford Tauruses (Taurii?) seeming very swoopy to me when the series was new. Now, not so much.

Re: Jokes Coming into the bar and ordering a double, the man leaned over and confided to the bartender, “I’m in such a bad, BAD mood!” “Oh yeah? What happened?” asked the bartender politely. “See, I met this beautiful woman at lunch, and she invited me back to her home. We stripped off our clothes and jumped into bed and we were just about to make love when her stupid husband came in the front door. So I had to jump out of the bedroom window and hang from the ledge by my fingernails!” “Gee, that’s tough!” commiserated the bartender. “Right, but that’s not what really got me aggravated,” the customer went on. “When her husband came into the room he said, ‘Hey great! You’re naked already! Hold up.’ Then, he went to the window and coughed up some spit and spit it right out the window, right on to me!” “Yeech!” the bartender shook his head. “No wonder you’re in a lousy mood.” “Yeah, but I haven’t told you what really, really got to me. Next the husband said ‘Toilet still broken Honey?’ Then the jerk took a leak right out the bedroom window! Right onto my head!” “Well, that sure would put a damper on anyone’s day! You must have felt like a real peon.” “Well sure, but I haven’t told you what really, really, REALLY got to me. Next, I had to listen to them grunting and groaning up there, with the sun beating down on me, hanging on for dear life. It was terrible. “Damn, that really is a drag!” says the “But you wanna know what REALLY, REALLY, REALLY got to me? When I finally looked down and saw that my feet were only SIX inches off the ground!”

Re: Jokes The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. “What is your name?” was the first thing the manager asked the new guy. “John,” the new guy replied. The manager scowled, “Look, I don’t know what kind of a mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only – Smith, Jones, Baker – that’s all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?” The new guy sighed and said, “Darling. My name is John Darling.” “Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is…”

Re: Cool Guns for your Games I can just imagine a roomful of gangsters watching slides made with the gun camera. "Is that the Dutch Charley hit? Oh my Freakin' Aunt Melba! I had forgotten the look he had on his face when I pulled the trigger! Can I get a print o' that for my collection?"

Re: Superhero Images Nah. It's just cold at altitude.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos I'm sure the information in these films were intended to calm peoples' fears of nuclear "stuff" in general, but I'm equally sure a sizeable subset of Americans viewed these films and only heard "Radiation is everywhere.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. A child's sense of geography can be sort of vague. Growing up in San Jose, by age 4 I knew that the place Grandma came from, Arkansas, was off towards the sunrise. Having no idea how big the world was, I figured it was waaay off on the other side of the ridge you could see in that direction. Later we lived in Chico, and by age 5 I still hadn't quite reached the understanding that there was anything on the far side of the horizon. Then my Dad's buddy flew up from San Jose in his Cessna 170 (with an orange vertical stabilizer) to visit us. Next day he took us up to fly and I was astounded. As we rose into the air I could see that there was a ridge beyond the horizon, and as we rose, another beyond that and another until my 5-year-old brain finally started to believe that the world was bigger than I could imagine. Adults tend to forget just how profound a child's ignorance can be. (But I didn't!)
