Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Plane Pr0n of a different sort....................From the Daily Mail.......................

I was a kid when this jet made it's debut. Every 11-13 year old was jealous.........................puberty ya know.......................

"In the late 1960s Hugh Hefner was in his prime and his magazine empire was at its peak with around a quarter of US college men reading Playboy each month. 
What else would an extravagant magazine publisher want to do than buy his own giant private jet to live out the A-list lifestyle?
Naming the plane The Big Bunny, Hefner proceeded to transform the $5.5 million (£3.65 million) stretch DC-9 into his dream party jet, with on board showers, a round bed covered in fur and even a disco area for Mile High soirées."

It was even used at the end of The Vietnam War to bring War Orphans to the USA.

This was no normal jet, which was clear from the moment you were greeted by the air hostesses on the tarmac, who wore bunny ears and tails

I love the "no normal jet!"

Current Events: Anti-Israel UT students hijack a lecture, scream for Israel to be erased, and now demand UT takes action against the professor.

Rant Starts
"Anti-Israel UT students hijack a lecture, scream for Israel to be erased, and now demand UT takes action against the professor."
The head hunters in academia are at it again...................
I guess pre-emptive is the new norm in disruption that allows the crybabies to disrupt and not face consequences...............................

The Anti-Israel, Low Information Voter crowd has decided that they are above all and will use any and all means to get the professor fired. 
The Palestinian Solidarity Committee? Hmmmm? Reminds me of things concerning the Communists when I was a child in the late fifties and the sixties.....................

I'm Jewish, but this sort of thing is getting out of hand, even for the Christian population and the Secular population.
These folks use whatever they can to stop some perceived "offense."
Downright disgusting............................................

A good piece on being from Kansas!



My favorite!

2. "Doesn't Kansas get a lot of tornadoes?
Yes; literally EVERY SINGLE day Kansas has another tornado...it's quite incredible that I'm even here to tell the tale!
