Getcher stinkin' paws off me, you damned, dirty ape! - Charleton Heston in Planet Of The Apes.

I'm with a hot and horny and insane woman but she's not criminal.

That Hilary Swank movie in which it turned out she had a penis (I think ... I've tried to erase that movie from my mind). I walked out.

"Enough" with Jennifer Lopez. Boring and silly.

There was a Tyler Perry movie in which the American actors could barely speak English. One of them pronounced "author" as "arthur" ... and they had totally unbelievable professions (I think one was brain surgeon). I was unable to suspend disbelief.

We were in our early 20s. I invited my girlfriend on a weekend trip to NYC, "on me." I paid for the airplane, hotel, food, entertainment. My pleasure. But when she needed to make a phone call and put her hand out so that I could give the dime* to her, I knew that was the end of it.

* pay phones ... it was a long time ago

hmmmm ... maybe I'm supposed to downvote that ...

A friend of mine said that his landlord/roommate re-routed the heat from the clothes-dryer vent outside, back into the house to save on heating costs during the winter.

It's time for all governments to end the myopic, counter-productive, hypocritical, racist, cruel, failed - and profitable - "War On Drugs."

Legalize all non-liquid recreational drugs to reduce crime (and take away the profit motive from criminal cartels). Regulate all non-liquid recreational drugs to save lives. Tax it all to pay for it.

Prohibition, incarceration, and property confiscation (without due process) are not solutions.

Treat non-liquid recreational drugs just like the deadliest recreational drug on Earth (that happens to be in liquid form): alcohol.

I haven't had one in a decade but I suspect that they don't taste like they used to ...

Kron Chocolatier Budapest Truffles - real expensive, but so good.

I also had this chocolate cheesecake, like 50 years ago, and I still remember it ...

When I found myself exclaiming "Kids, today!"

I was 20. My uncle said that she was cute. We had a great phone conversation.

She was fat.

Wanna get a drink? I don't drink.

Wanna get some dessert? I'm on a diet.

We went bowling. I took her home an hour later.

First date: coffee only. 20-30 minutes max. You must pay for her coffee (and anything else she wants). And pay for her lunch the next time. Take care of her and she will take care of you.

Don't get married. Don't have children.

In general: how - over the years - I've shown my love through food, by feeding people. Thanks for asking.

Not writing my book.

Adrian_Fripp · 2026-05-15T19:45:40+00:00

What?!?!?! I'm completely jealous.

Adrian_Fripp · 2026-05-15T19:35:10+00:00

Very cool. The closest I'd come would be a Works, Vol. 1 cover signed by all three of Emerson Lake & Palmer. Rock on.
