It looks cool! To tell the truth it is very funny. I'm sure everybody who sees you wearing it laughts to death. I'd love to have it too. tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-06-15:3228137 WryMouth 2010-06-16T02:50:39Z 2010-06-16T02:50:39Z Here's a thought. And, I don't think it is original to me (which makes me wonder why some are incapable of <em>grokking</em> it):<br /> <br /> <blockquote>The Ideal has its place in the Real World, even when it is yet and perhaps ever Unattainable.<br /> </blockquote><br /> Maybe it's just me and my kid brother who tear-up in the eyes when we listen to "The Impossible Dream," but I think perhaps it is a more "conservative" position that The Ideal exists, and is worth shooting for.<br /> <br /> At least, these days, it seems more conservative. Back in the forties and fifties, I'd wager The Ideal was more of a liberal position.<br /> <br /> Anyways.<br /> <br /> The Pragmatic Realists, who are always looking at ONLY the warts and imperfections of the country would be well-served by contemplating The Ideal USA, which doesn't -- yet -- exist, but toward which we want to be working every age.<br /> <br /> I believe the Ideal USA is more attainable here, under these rules, than Ideal Country X is in Country X.<br /> <br /> ***<br /> <br /> P.S. TRUE STORY: My son, who is under the tutelage of a Zinn Apostle lo these 3 years in high school, found a point of agreement between myself and the late bastard: he held Big Government in distrust, just like me!<br /> <br /> It goes to show you, I guess, that one can find something agreeable to talk about with just about anyone else on the planet.<br /> <br /> :o) tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-06-14:3224228 OregonGuy http://www.oregonguythinks.blogspot.com 2010-06-14T17:44:36Z 2010-06-14T17:44:36Z Zinn, Chomskey, my kid's high school English teacher, the Zero...all the same. Apologizing relentlessly. Millenials only need community. Too bad the dominant feature of that community is a serious lack of reasoning skillz.<br />. tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-05-02:3067269 WryMouth 2010-05-03T07:38:16Z 2010-05-03T07:38:16Z Well, <em>someone</em> is going to get a gold star! tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-05-02:3066280 Sarah 2010-05-02T21:38:33Z 2010-05-02T21:38:33Z where...EVVVERRRRR YOU ARE. tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-03-07:2890030 The Codger 2010-03-07T22:04:47Z 2010-03-07T22:04:47Z Another man with class "Lax". The scene you shared is, what else, funny stuff. Thanks. <br /><br /> I was the father of 4 "Teen-sons" back in those days. and even though I wouldn't "let on" back then, I certainly did get a big kick of the show. <br /><br />I thank the Wry-man for the reminder. Smile on everybody. :-) tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-02-25:2860202 Laxsaltman 2010-02-25T18:51:51Z 2010-02-25T18:51:51Z Changing the "N" to an "S" I bet is a common "twist". tag:www.wrymouth.com,2010-02-25:2860192 Laxsaltman 2010-02-25T18:48:27Z 2010-02-25T18:48:27Z One of my memories....I only can remember two of 'em.... Was the scene where the mummy is dragging along,doing the "mummy Shuffle" in a field and coming across a gate with "Don't Fence Me In"playing in the background...Also,I think it was during the showing of "The Brain From Planet Aros" where it showed a still of Banjo Billy sitting on a stool while "If I Only Had A Brain" played.....funny stuff.<br /> The BW picture on the Telly reminded me of all the second-hand tv's that came and went through that living room.
