If Bud and Lou were here today

It helps to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM… Continue

PONDERISMS

1·

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

2· There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

3· Life is sexually transmitted.

4· Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

5· The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

6· Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday,… Continue

November 22, 1963

Just remembering this date 1963. Standing outside of the gym at AR after lunch when Mr. Abbott announce for us to return to our classrooms as Pres Kennedy had been shot. Then the stunned silence in Mrs. Sharp's math class as we waited for the dreaded announcement. Wondering who was in that class?

Jiminy Cricket flicks

Anyone got a story about the jiminy cricket morality pieces they used to show us in grade school and at AR when we would have some kind of assembly in the auditorium? I guess today we would call them videos - but I hesitated to use that term in reference to the retro moment.

Subterranean Homesick Blues

Subterranean Homesick Blues

Johnny's in the basement

Mixing up the medicine

I'm on the pavement

Thinking about the government

The man in the trench coat

Badge out, laid off

Says he's got a bad cough

Wants to get it paid off

Look out kid

It's somethin' you did

God knows when

But you're doin' it again

You better duck down the alley way

Lookin' for a new friend

The man in the coon-skin cap

In the big… Continue
