Re: MUSIC {and Related} TRIVIA

Good quiz! I didn't get any of them.

But now I've got Nestles Qwik commercials from the '60s stuck in my head because of Winchell.

I can remember TV commercials from 1957, but not what I read last week , , , . :mrgreen:

Re: Where's the coffeehouse for this hiatus?

I think maybe it was in the Pub Room for past hiatuses, but not much is happening in there, either.

Re: More Stuff

Glad I looked in! Man, that looks like fun. Have not been to Colorado/New Mexico in more than 25 years now. All my road trips through there were memorable. Eastern mountains are a lot lower, and I never had a lot of wind even at peak fitness, so I can appreciate hiking at 12,000 feet. I always notic...

Re: More Stuff

I learned a little from my mom when I was a kid. I have my aunt's sewing machine, but it doesn't work any more. There's a truncated cone-shaped tire on the power shaft that rides on the flywheel to drive it--that tire hardened with age, and no replacements are available Anyhow, the details of making...

Re: There It Is - 2021-07-06

I think Pablo said awhile back that events in the strip (at least at that point) were occurring ~3 years ago.

Of course, there could have been another time jump anytime since then.

Re: Haunting 2021-06-21

Vonnegut wrote Slaughterhouse 5 partly to deal with PTSD from Dresden, though he didn't characterize it as that. Not sure that he ever did really come to grips with it. I know my dad's buddies who went to Korea, the older they got, the more it showed how much it had fucked them up. (Dad was rejected...

Re: Big-cat sighting

The big cats are among humans' few natural predators. Which is part of our very strange relationship with cat species in general.

Re: Big-cat sighting

Never seen a live wildcat in North America, but it sounds more like a mountain lion/cougar/puma than a bobcat, unless Western bobcats are bigger than Eastern. I thought they were just slightly bigger than a very large housecat--which is still nothing to mess with. If it stops back again and asks abo...

Re: More Stuff

One sunny day a few years ago, I smelled smoke while I was working. And then I noticed that a magnifying glass that had been standing in the pen jar for at least 5 years was trying to light up my desk.

It lives in a drawer now.

Re: Second Dose of Vaccine

When I got the second shot of Pfizer, they were asking people which side they usually sleep on, and they injected on the other side if you had a preference. Myself, that muscle didn't get as sore as it had the first time. Had some general muscle aches, lethargy, and feeling of cold for a few days, b...

Re: More Stuff

Also, my mom, who was a champ with fabric and gardening, told me once that I'd never be sorry buying stuff by Fiskars, and their scissors, anyhow, are reasonably priced.
