We’re off on a ride to Nashville Tennessee this weekend. Nashville is a little over 300 miles from here. Riding time is 5–6 hours in good weather. We might miss the rain going down there, but I think we’re going to get wet coming home tomorrow.
Open Mic Saturday.
Talk about whatever you want today.
DJ,
Were WE Classmates? Not many of the beeches I dreamed about then will up for a pic. Though in my anger with C.com reupping me without my permission (Amex took my money back, NO questions), they still send me these taunts: So-and-so is calling. Wanna know who? So you click and sure enuf, it’s blurry. Probly just some soandso, anyway. They’ll get me some day, maybe.
Wow, I turned over a new leaf. RevRick, are you preppin your sermon this wee hour? I have no continuity here, but I saw your message to Jonco one day several months ago (it was topping a page then) that this was your “last post”. Glad to see it wasn’t afterall.
DJ,
Is Cleveland northern Ohio? I guess it kinda sits on the south edge of Erie? Anyway, went to the Jake and loved it (2006, still Jacobs). GO TO COFFEE, but DON’T TELL THE MISSUS!
Mr. P.I.B. and A.S.,
Does politics always follow BBQ so neatly? NOT going there here (huh), but I DO like the flavor of Dr. Pepper.
DJ–If I misspoke out of ignorance, please forgive me. Should read thru before commenting,but, y’know.

DJ,
Your 9:49 relieves me some. I thought I had brought up a SAD day, rather than a kandaroo appearance. No offense Down Under there? BTW, how’s OUR January?

Morning JohnC. Last post? No, I think that may have been a comment to someone that had disparaged this site and it was a ‘good riddance’ type of thing or perhaps it was just sardonic. Or maybe, I just don’t know what the heck I’m doing any more. Maybe all three. Sermon? Nope, (it finally comes out), I’m not a rev and you’re the first in about a year of my posting that’s directly referenced it. I’m a long-term IT guy. The rev reference is story for a different day (although I was an avowed atheist when I picked up that mantle).
Paul I.B.
Sheesh, don’t know your age, but did ORIGINAL Beatlemania contribute to your heavy left wing? I mean, it did mine and I was only as close as K.C.Mo. Note: In ’65or66, A’s owner Charlie Finley lured the FabFour to his stadium in KC with $$$$$$$$$$$, of course. I think that’s when they added “Kansas City” to their early repertoire of American covers.
When I post like this on a local political blog ( more to the left, please O) they tell me I’m talkin’ to myself again. I just say, “The keytaps make very little noise so as to further disturb you and I promise I’m not moving my lips”. Then I snicker to myself, if yaknow, and I think you do, what I mean.
Tehobu,
Wilt has a very similar place, but with a different landlord. Coby is coming to visit.
SAFETY WARNING TO ALL!!!!!
From the medicine cabinet: Under NO circumstances should you leave the screen after blogging for more than 1 hour and head to the coffee pot in the dark!!
“The seeds of the Little War were planted in a restless summer during the mid-1960s, with sit-ins and student demonstrations as youth tested its strength. By the early 1970s over 75 percent of the people living on Earth were under 21 years of age. The population continued to climb — and with it the youth percentage.
In the 1980s the figure was 79.7 percent.
In the 1990s, 82.4 percent.
In the year 2000 — critical mass.”

Hey Revrick,
Glad for my misconceptions, and that you broke up my string! It was beginning to look masturbatory.
As an IT guy, you’re probably familiar with staring into the light, then walking in the dark. From now on I’ll not quit.
And I had decided you might be my kinda rev if I ever went back to church. I know I’ll likely say, “oh, God” when the lights do darken for good.
So, Isiah,
Hey, you spell your name like Cleveland Cav Thomas. But what I wanna know: Where do you fall in the masses of youth? Seeds, critical, or formative? I’m a seed.
Tehobu re: 10:29,
LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOLLL!!! Being from KC I miss the Kings STILL after 25 years. Tiny Archibald, Sam Lacy, Scotty Wedman at the time!!
I spell my name the way it is spelled on my birth certificate. I was not given a choice in the matter. I fall no where and everywhere.
Tehobu re: 10:29,

And 10:59, maybe 22 minutes at most. But all is not lost on me,for I had not heard that!! It’s so funny because I’m SURE I’d be the DWI.
Isiah,
Then I’d ask where you land, but I think I know!
Not so fast Paul in Boca,
In the extreme, Patty may only have as many as she can handle; just like we WANT ’em all!
Damn these repeats! Anyhoo, so P.I.B. you can ( I guess must) handle those Listerine jobs, but not AScott’s BBQ?
Yeah, JohnC, I’ve smacked into a few walls in the darkrooms before because your nightvision gets pretty messed up watching an LCD.
If I ever decide to open a church, I’ll put you on the donation list…welllll…I wouldn’t start a church, but a donation list sounds like a good thing. Back in the early 90’s when web/html/forms were first starting, I was banging through some sites for ideas and ran across an online application I wanted to try. Filled it out, hit the enter, BANG, an Ordination Certificate printed out and the Rev was born. Technically, I can do weddings and things like that (although I never intend to). 15 years later, I actually converted, but still maintain an open mind and believe it’s more about doing the right thing (walking the walk, not talking the talk) rather than a fundamentalist thing. Quite frankly, true zealots of any persuation; religious, political, whatever, bother me more than an educated discourse of differences. Some would say that’s waffling and lacking commitment, but then again, lack of dialogue has resulted in more deaths and heartache than anything else I can imagine.
Agreed, agreed, agreed Rev. In the context of your parable, what the world needs NOW is more alternating of listening and talking. Might reduce the din, lead to better order and structu—Hold on a damn minute, I’m talkin here–where was I? See it would also reduce confusion!
Klaw,
Hey, bud (STILL Stl’s King of Beers BTW),
Back to BBQ: I’b wager the BBQ there has GOT to be good. You guys are halfway in between the cows here and the cows in Chicago. I’m trying to recall BBQ there during my workdays and frequent vacations. When we baseball, we always eat at least once at Charlie Gittos downtown; tho now we try to stay close enuf to walk, because the adjacent parking lot is $10 on game nites. When you come to the K, I’ll bring a sampler of our “cue along. Don’t worry, I “know” security here and I could bring the table, too, if I had to. Lookin’ forward to tradin’ games!
Hey DJ, I just remembered a link here (or somewhere) about the translation of girls saying we’re “fun”. So that was then and this is NOW. GO and show her “our” meaning of FUN, if you are so “inclined”.
Tehobu,
Thanks for openin the door on your rathole of humor. If you will take liberty to laugh in the face of a Hamervillian (long “a” or “short”?), you got my kinda funny trigger. Murphreesboro,eh? That’s a tough one to spell–wrong. If I even stop in Tenn on the way to Siesta Key, it’s Chattanooga, then on for a one-nighter in Marietta. I checked out M’boro one time in the AAA guidebook, but the mileage of my hops didn’t allow a stop there. When it’s too late, I’ll probably wish I’d stopped everywhere!
BELLA!!,
RE: 9:50 PM. Bada bing! Would you be my “straight” gal, too? Your comedic timing with Tehobu is immaculate. Do you think he setya up or did the two of you set us up? Very Rowan/Martin, Smothers Bros, Abbott/Costello.
I gotta admit, tho, I too was relieved to see the punchline.
That’s Murfreesboro, JohnC. Great town. Lived and worked there about 4 years. Fun place and convenient to Nashville if you need more stuff from the bigger city.
JC, You remind be of my ex-wife. Always talking to me after I left the room.
Hey,from now on,,,,,turn the lights on before you take your meds. Believe me it just work out better that way.
Tehobu – I understand you man. Reading JohnC’s comments is like listening to one half of a phone call. It does not make much sense…
LOL @ Tehobu and Richard, I was just going over the comments and shaking my head. LOL 🙁
Tehobu,
Wasn’t taking meds; wound up there for a bandaid after searching for coffee in the dark. Pardon my vagueness, and, Richard, my nonsense. Try reading the other half of the phone call for SOME sense and, touche I gotta say, some nonsense.
