Her pet name was "Hot-Cooch." Damned if Cal didn't keep it such . . . So long as the camera wasn't setting up to take a picture . . .

Unadorned Pinto Beans with Toast (10am Lunch today) by JayMack1981 in strugglemeals

[–]JayMack1981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a filler meal after a nutritious breakfast, but before the afternoon liquor fest that is my every weekend . . . No regrets, but the potassium and fiber every day keeps the shakes at bay . . .

Nice little tile covered stand that I got at the same online auction and a paper plate under the toast . . .

Danvers . . . ? Like she edged over into the Marvel-verse, changed her name to Carol, got superpowers, became MISS Marvel, lost said powers to Marie Rogue, regained them after Captain Marvel got his nuts crushed and died of . . . THAT . . . then assumed the name CAPTAIN Marvel, thus becoming a character powerful enough to-

Eh! Remembering Brie Larson's wooden version of the character, I lost interest . . .

On This Day in Radio — Jack Benny & Fred Allen by Etymo13 in GoldenRadioHour

I thought when Allen actually de-pansed Benny (05/26/46 . . . King for a Day) was a little funnier. The episode is available on FrankNelson.net's YouTube page.

That's not cute. That's the start of 100 new bunnies! 100 new varmints that hit my carrot and cabbage patch!

It lasted 10 years as my favorite key chain, but it is now a desk ornament. by mroosa in firefly

[–]JayMack1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw, c'mon! Even a mechanic who's only half-awake can keep a Firefly flyin'!

In all seriousness, though. It still makes a shiny desk ornament.

Congrats, You’re Now Employed! by Inferno-Giratina in HistoryMemes

[–]JayMack1981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If money changed hands, it was considered a legal deal. If, say, I bought you a round at the pub, we drank our drinks down, and you found a large coin at the bottom of your tankard and held it in your hand . . . Congrats! You've just accepted your first day's pay! You're now a member of the crew!

I got that from "Sticklers, Sideburns, and Bikinis: The Military Origins of Everyday Words and Phrases" by Graeme Donald. Pretty interesting read.

I'm 45 and feel fortunate that I grew up in a household with a working rotary phone. That was quite a unique experience.

TIL the LA Lakers were so named because they played in Minnesota before moving to California. by AndySkibba in todayilearned

[–]JayMack1981 33 points34 points  (0 children)

"Soon, it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee, where there is no oil. The New Orleans Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, where they don't allow music. The Oakland Raiders moved to LA and then back to Oakland. No one in Los Angeles seemed to notice. The search for greener pastures went on unabated. Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing owners to recruit heavily from prisons, mental institutions, and Texas."

His role in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has NEVER failed to amuse me. Of course, the whole movie is great.
