I wonder if in 1956 people were publicly making light of the events 15 years previous at Pearl Harbor.
Burned some more trash but this time without me also burning myself. I feel like I accomplished something.
Sorority rush is going on right now. Such a sight to see young mature women dressed to their best walking around from building to building. It gives me hope for the future of America.
Tossed it out to nature and let the animals take care of it. Circle of life and all that. As a side note, I called them this morning after their 24 hour period expired (they guarantee all ducks will live for 24 hours after arrival). So they're replacing the dead black one, something that even the police departments won't do. Plus they're sending a "hatchery choice" along with it, which is a cute way of saying it could be one of a dozen breeds and I won't know if it's male or female. Kinda like Caitlyn Jenner. They're covering all the shipping costs too which is nice, all and all they're swallowing about $50 for one dead duck. Of course, I have to name the replacement one Caitlyn. Need to come up with a good name for the second black one though. Something offensive. Because that little shit is gonna cause me to wake up at 4:30 again to go get it from the post office.
Digging pretty deep for this week's VI's Lost Hits. But I like this one, quite a bit actually. His voice has a great quality.
A few years ago when I had to go back to work I was forced to start over from scratch. I had no recent work experience...like 10 years of nothing other then owning my own business. List my last boss? Uh...it was me. So, I had to start out with a bottom of the barrel job just to build up a new work history. One of the jobs was calling people for annoying political surveys. It was easily one of the worst jobs I've ever had. We did "Surveys" for the DNC. The calls weren't surveys, they were bullshit rhetoric calls disguised as "Surveys." Questions would be worded along the lines of "Donald Trump said he could shoot a person on the streets of NYC and not lose votes. If Donald Trump shot your mother would you be: A: More likely to vote for him B: Somewhat less likely to vote for him C: Neutral D: Less likely to vote for him E: Not likely to vote for him" Just another reason I don't believe polls, but anyways... At one point I was given a list of voters to survey and we had to ask for that person by name. I was given a list of black voters. Not being racist here, but there were no Roberts, no Kenneths, no James's. It was full of unpronounceable, made up, original names. "Uh hi...may I speak with Kwanerogrethaasetupac please?" "You mean Pac?" "Maybe?"
At the risk of thunder stealing, I feel compelled to throw up the Midnight Special performance: Eagle eyed viewers can be able to spot at least one Porcaro brother.
Just how deep down this rabbit hole do you want to follow me? Ok, musicians, unite, these guys were criminally underrated. Consequently, you're required to watch either Seinfeld or Friends after this video.
Two white crested females, a little over $8 each. Shipping for an extra mall order is $32. The second order of six females cost me $48 combined for the ducks plus $27 shipping. Ordered from Metzer Farms. Can't possibly recommend them enough, both for the quality of the birds as well as their customer service I experienced with the dead one. I consider it totally worth the cost. Ducks are great pest control, and for that alone they pay for themselves. Plus you get the benefit of their eggs, and they make some pretty badass pets.
USPS. They ship priority mail and bum a ride along a commercial airliner just like all the other mail going that route. The breeder sticks basically a big ass handwarmer in the box, just like you'd use in your winter gloves or something. They give them some food, line the bottom of the box with hay, and the box has holes in it. It's basically a large shoebox. I'll take a picture of it for here when the replacement ducks arrive next wed. The ducks are shipped the day they hatch and they arrive first thing in the morning two days later. Obviously the best way to get a small animal like that is to pick it up from the breeder directly, but since the breeder is in California and I'm in TX, mail delivery is still pretty solid. It's not perfect, but for birds it works. Though you can see why I wasn't completely surprised to receive at least one dead one.
Like these guys? And one from a few years earlier that I always dug. The lyrics are awesome...mainly because I've always been a sucker for a girl who could sing. Being sung to sleep is awesome. And secondly, because there is some incredible guitar work buried under the piano.
I saw the Spin Doctors live on their big tour. They were really good, and I love the guitar player. I'm not kidding, these guys get made fun of, but they were a really good band.
If they're fresh-hatched they'll still have some yolk to absorb, so that also helps them hunker down for the haul.
Totally agree. I wasn't defending her. And, I don't think you were an entitled teenager. You wouldn't have made a commercial like that.
I was watching that thinking something I'd done had to have been duplicated on there by someone, and then a dude gets his ass kicked by a deer and I quit. Good for some ideas though. Bet I could pull a few of those off now that I'm sober.
