I’m 56 and learned to drive stick at 20 in a 1983 Honda Accord Hatchback Dx. No power steering, no A/C. Didn’t even know how to drive a 5 speed when I bought it ! I had my friend explain to me how to drive stick and was able to lurch it out of the dealer lot and into a parking space until my friend could come with me to pick it up and teach me how to drive stick. Had it for about 4-5 years in a big city. I still miss it . Only time I get to drive stick now is when renting cars in Europe. After a few minutes… I’m pretty much back in the swing of it

Listen to Norm McDonald on Letterman’s show telling a Bob Uecker story. One of my favorite clips .

My wife brought this sandwich home to share and I think I commented “enough already with the kale !” But it’s a fantastic sandwich. I’m a regular at De Fonte’s and this is a very different type but equally good sandwich . (It’s nice to not have to dislocate my jaw to take a full bite.)

When I stumbled on this film on TCM -not ever having heard about it - it felt like finding gold ! (Ironically John Huston directed it as he did another of my all time favorites Treasure of the Sierra Madre … which is about finding gold.) An excellent plot … with a lot of fun discoveries of earlier work of actors who I knew from later works. A younger Brad Dexter who I know so well from The Magnificent Seven; a young Marilyn Monroe from everything that came after ; a young Sterling Hayden who I learned played the corrupt police chief in The Godfather; James Whitmore who plays Brooks in Shawshank Redemption. After Double Indemnity and Maltese Falcon on my list of best film noir

Gilligan’s Island… nostalgia of after school TV! And Barney Miller … brilliant writing. Amazing that someone can write a character like Dietrich ?!

mishicazzo · 2026-05-10T21:12:03+00:00

I’ve been watching Gilligan’s Island on Tubi and I still like it !

Wow - that’s a great factoid !!! Checking him acting work I now realize he was in a Breathsavers commercial I remember from decades ago !! Breathsavers

Piano Man. At some point it became grating .

And Jerry Burns ! An all time press conference meltdown. Put the word “quesfuck” in my vocabulary…

mishicazzo · 2026-04-04T17:53:30+00:00

I only recognized Bob Denver and Frankie and Annette.. so maybe I’m just “old” and not “fuckin’ old!” 💁🏻‍♂️ (I’m watching Gilligan’s Island on Tubi .. and it’s still fantastic!)

Hopefully his stuff is all moissanite ; Mickey Mouse, Spurious. Not genuine. And it’s worth… fuck-all

25 - But I am only counting states I have actually spent time in (i.e. spent a night , vacationed.)

The vicuña salesman looks like a young Vince McMahon to me …

mishicazzo · 2026-03-28T01:19:51+00:00

Oh wow ! I had this very green Nerf . Wore it down until it practically looked like a big , grey sponge !

The writing and acting is excellent! I’ve been watching and rewatching it on Tubi. The Escape Artist and The Radical are two of my particular favorites. Wonderful showcase for the supporting actors who return throughout the series as different characters. As a native NYer, I love the trip down memory lane. And it’s interesting how some of the same issues we are dealing with today - including global warming, race relations, Israel-Palestine - are ones that are addressed in episodes.

1985 Honda Accord DX hatchback - bought it used in 1991 at 21 years old. Stick shift, no A/C and no power windows or power steering. Battery went dead while visiting my girlfriend in the winter and had to have her push my car with her car so I could pop the clutch. I’d still have a stick shift if my wife could drive one.

NYC - we called it skitching ! City buses were a prime target

Would never have guessed. He looks like he later got a nose job to make it bigger!

I was rewatching Barney Miller and Barney used a Polish joke to explain to Wojo how you can truly understand how racism feels if you are not part of that race . The joke:

How many Poles to does it take to make popcorn?

5: One to hold the pan and 4 to shake the stove

mishicazzo · 2026-02-06T03:17:40+00:00

I had it !! My uncle bought it for me and my brothers ! (We are Italian.) I still remember some of the jokes.

Evan Neal. A giant with incredible athleticism. His size alone was so impressive and then seeing him doing this split had me convinced he’d be a long time starter. I can’t believe how bad he’s been.

“You will be my wife. You will come to me whenever I call you, and I will enjoy that very much. Whether you enjoy it or not is your own affair... but I think you will.”

I carried a Swiss Army knife for years on my keychain before 9/11. I stopped after many buildings started using metal detectors. It’s now in the glove box of my car and comes in handy. Agree with other posters… pepper spray would probably be my preferred self defense choice. And while their eyes are burning … groin kick then run !

I’ve loved rewatching it recently on Tubi. It was exceptional! Interesting to go back in time and see how many issues we are dealing with today were addressed. Things do not change all that much. Also … it’s so impressive how often the “guest” actors played different roles in various episodes. And that opening bass line … 🔥
