RANT & CHAT - No Politics (RANT-NP)

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Some time ago I ranted about being able to pull up behind a guy in a Cadillac that had an X-rated video playing in his dashboard video screen.

It appeared to me that he was alone, but I don't know why he would have had it playing if he was.

If you get my drift.

Anyway,

Last week the Virginia legislature proposed the idiotic rule that a person could not expose their underwear in public by wearing baggy pants and recieved worldwide criticism.(and the same week withdrew it)

This week they proposed that people could not watch X-rated videos if the vehicle was moving because they are afraid children will see it.

As much as I despise seeing young people expose their underwear in public or seeing people driving down the road while watching X-rated videos, I don't see the need for lawmakers telling those that do they can't.

I believe people that use/talk on cell phones while driving to be a much bigger risk to the general public.

Have fun,
Phil

[BullNBear52]

That's a whole other rant!

But you still have to fix toilets from time to time.

I've repaired 4 in the last couple of months. 4 involving the rubber gaskets between the tank and the bowl. They haven't improved on the technology IMO just added more manufacturers and pieces parts to the mix. lol.

And one that had a plastic flush handle rod instead of the old metal ones. What a POS idea that was.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

Yes it is.

But you still have to fix toilets from time to time.

And it's harder than changing the bucket.

Have fun,
Phil

[Chas]

It's a lot easier to flush a toilet than shitting in a bucket and hauling it outside to empty. Indoor plumbing is much better than indoors with no plumbing; I know from experience, I stayed with my Granddad and aunt once, he was 90 and didn't see any reason to spend any money on fancy doodads that he didn't have when he was a kid.

[gp100357]

Great find PW ... brings up some memories for sure, doesn't it?

We always thought 'store bought' cigarettes were something special - my pop rolled his own with prince albert and OCB papers.

thanks for a great post!

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

I despise "automatic" stuff.

More things to break.

Have fun,
Phil

[Chas]

The best ones are automatic, you don't have to even think about where the switch is.

[BullNBear52]

You can add the floor mounted headlight dimmer switch to things that have disappeared. I miss those. Seems no 2 cars have the switch in the same place anymore.

Fender Skirts -

What a great blast from the past! I haven't thought about "fender skirts" in years. When I was a kid, I considered it such a funny term. Made me think of a car in a dress.

Thinking about "fender skirts" started me thinking about other words that quietly disappear from our language with hardly a notice.

Like "curb feelers" and "steering knobs." Since I'd been thinking of cars, my mind naturally went that direction first. Any kids will probably have to find some elderly person over 50 to explain some of these terms to you.

Remember "Continental kits?" They were rear bumper extenders and spare tire covers that were supposed to make any car as cool as a Lincoln Continental.

When did we quit calling them "emergency brakes?" At some point "parking brake" became the proper term. But I miss the hint of drama that went with "emergency brake."

I'm sad, too, that almost all the old folks are gone who would call the accelerator the "foot feed."

Didn't you ever wait at the street for your daddy to come home, so you could ride the "running board" up to the house?

Here's a phrase I heard all the time in my youth but never anymore - "store-bought." Of course, just about everything is store-bought these days. But once it was bragging material to have a store-bought dress or a store-bought bag of candy.

"Coast to coast" is a phrase that once held all sorts of excitement and now means almost nothing. Now we take the term "worldwide" for granted. This floors me.

On a smaller scale, "wall-to-wall" was once a magical term in our homes. In the '50s, everyone covered his or her hardwood floors with, wow, wall-to-wall carpeting! Today, everyone replaces their wall-to-wall carpeting with hardwood floors. Go figure.

When's the last time you heard the quaint phrase "in a family way?" It's hard to imagine that the word "pregnant" was once considered a little too graphic, a little too clinical for use in polite company. So we had all that talk about stork visits and "being in a family way" or simply "expecting."

Apparently "brassiere" is a word no longer in usage. I said it the other day and my daughter cracked up. I guess it's just "bra" now. "Unmentionables" probably wouldn't be understood at all.

It's hard to recall that this word was once said in a whisper -"divorce." And no one is called a "divorcee" anymore. Certainly not a "gay divorcee." Come to think of it, "confirmed bachelors" and "career girls" are long gone, too.

I always loved going to the "picture show," but I considered "movie" an affectation.

Most of these words go back to the '50s, but here's a pure-'60s word I came across the other day - "rat fink." Ooh, what a nasty put-down!

Here's a word I miss - "percolator." That was just a fun word to say. And what was it replaced with? "Coffeemaker." How dull. Mr. Coffee, I blame you for this.

I miss those made-up marketing words that were meant to sound so modern and now sound so retro. Words like "DynaFlow" and "Electrolux." Introducing the 1963 Admiral TV, now with "SpectraVision!"

Food for thought - Was there a telethon that wiped out lumbago? Nobody complains of that anymore. Maybe that's what castor oil cured, because I never hear mothers threatening their kids with castor oil anymore.

Some words aren't gone, but are definitely on the endangered list. The one that grieves me most - "supper." Now everybody says "dinner." Save a great word. Invite someone to supper. Discuss fender skirts.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WW II MOVIE STARS

================================================================
Hope you find this as informative as I did, be sure to scroll to the bottom.
================================================================

In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's "Hollywonk" the real actors of yester-year loved the United States.

They had both class and integrity. With the advent of World War II many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love.

They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men & women, many as simple "enlisted men".

This page lists but a few, but from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor, spanning from Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, Distinguish Service Cross', Purple Hearts and one Congressional Medal of Honor.

So remember; while the "Entertainers of 2004" have been in all of the news media lately I would like to remind the people of what the entertainers of 1943 were doing, (61 years ago).

Most of these brave men have since passed on.

Real Hollywood Heros

Alec Guinness (Star Wars) operated a British Royal Navy landing craft on D-Day.

James Doohan ("Scotty" on Star Trek) landed in Normandy with the U. S. Army on D-Day.

Donald Pleasance (The Great Escape) really was an R. A. F. pilot who was shot down, held prisoner and tortured by the Germans.

David Niven was a Sandhurst graduate and Lt. Colonel of the British Commandos in Normandy.

James Stewart Entered the Army Air Force as a private and worked his way to the rank of Colonel.

During World War II, Stewart served as a bomber pilot, his service record crediting him with leading more than 20 missions over Germany, and taking part in hundreds of air strikes during his tour of duty.

Stewart earned the Air Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, France's Croix de Guerre, and 7 Battle Stars during World War II.

In peace time, Stewart continued to be an active member of the Air Force as a reservist, reaching the rank of Brigadier General before retiring in the late 1950s.

Clark Gable (Mega-Movie Star when war broke out) Although he was beyond the draft age at the time the U.S. entered WW II,

Clark Gable enlisted as a private in the AAF on Aug. 12, 1942 at Los Angeles.

He attended the Officers' CandidateSchool at Miami Beach, Fla. and graduated as a second lieutenant on Oct. 28, 1942.

He then attended aerial gunnery school and in Feb. 1943 he was assigned to the 351st Bomb Group at Polebrook where flew operat ional missions over Europe in B-17s.

Capt. Gable returned to the U.S. in Oct. 194 3 and was relieved from active duty as a major on Jun. 12, 1944 at his own request, since he was over-age for combat.

Charlton Heston was an Army Air Corps Sergeant in Kodiak.

Earnest Borgnine was a U. S. Navy Gunners Mate 1935-1945.

Charles Durning was a U. S. Army Ranger at Normandy earning a Silver Star and awarded the Purple Heart.

Charles Bronson was a tail gunner in the Army Air Corps, more specifically on B-29s in the 20th Air Force out of Guam, Tinian, and Saipan

George C. Scott was a decorated U. S. Marine.

Eddie Albert (Green Acres TV) was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroic action as a U. S. Naval officer aiding Marines at the horrific battle on the island of Tarawa in the Pacific Nov. 1943.

Brian Keith served as a U.S. Marine rear gunner in several actions against the Japanese on Rabal in the Pacific.

Lee Marvin was a U.S. Marine on Saipan during the Marianas campaign when he was wounded earning the Purple Hea rt.

John Russell: In 1942, he enlisted in the Marine Corps where he received a battlefield commission and was wounded and highly decorated for valor at Guadalcanal.

Robert Ryan was a U. S. Marine who served with the O. S. S. in Yugoslavia.

Tyrone Power (an established movie star when Pearl Harbor was bombed) joined the U.S. Marines, was a pilot flying supplies into, and wounded Marines out of, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Audie Murphy, little 5'5" tall 110 pound guy from Texas who played cowboy parts?

Most Decorated serviceman of WWII and earned: Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, 2 Silver Star Medals, Legion of Merit, 2 Bronze Star Medals with "V", 2 Purple Hearts, U.S. Army Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, 2 Distinguished Unit Emblems, American Campaign Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with One Silver Star, Four Bronze Service Stars (representing nine campaigns) and one Bronze Arrowhead (representing assault landing at Sicily and Southern France) World War II Victory Medal Army of Occupation Medal with Germany Clasp, Armed Forces Reserve Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, Marksman Badge with Rifle Bar, Expert Badge with Bayonet Bar, French Fourragere in Colors of the Croix de Guerre, French Legion of Honor, Grade of Chevalier, French Croix de Guerre With Silver Star, French Croix de Guerre with Palm, Medal of Liberated France, Belgian Croix de Guerre 1940 Palm.

So how do you feel the real heroes of the silver screen acted when compared to the hollywonks today who spray out anti-American drivel as they bite the hand that feeds them? Can you imagine these stars of yester-year saying they hate our flag, making anti-war speeches, marching in anti-American parades and saying they hate our president?

I thought not, neither did I!

If you enjoyed the story send it on.

[BullNBear52]

Crest toothpaste cinnamon rush. I'd like to punch the damn idiot that came up with this one.

My wife bought some instead of the old fashioned kind of Crest. So I grab the new tube and not paying attention give my teeth the once over. Spit into the sink and all I see is red. I start thinking I'm bleeding to death from some dreaded gum disease.

Surely with all the artifical dyes out there they could have picked a better color.

[Chas]

TOP 10 PEEVES OF DOGS

1. Blaming your farts on me... not funny... not very funny at all!

2. Yelling at me for barking... I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU IDIOT!

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose ... stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain, you nitwit

7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back.

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.

10. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed the fur? Imbecile!

Some old - some new.

GREAT HOME REMEDIES
1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of
boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost
instantly removed.
2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting
someone else to hold them while you chop away.
3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by
simply using the sink.
4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for
awhile, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.
5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you
from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze
button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you
will be afraid to cough.
7. Have a bad tooth ache? Hit your thumb with a hammer, then you will
forget about the tooth ache.
AND..... Sometimes we just need to remember what The Rules of Life
really are:
You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it
should, use WD-40 If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
Everyone only seems normal until you get to know them.
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
And finally... Be really good to your family and friends. You never
know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

Interesting Historical Fact

...bet you did not know this...

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's discovery, so large shipments of manure were common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it became heavier, but the process of fermentation began, of which a by product is methane gas.

As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " , (Ship High In Transport) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word.

Neither did I.

I always thought it was a golf term.

Similar thing happened to my Grandfather in hi 80's. Aunt Florence fixed a plate of Thanksgiving turkey dinner for him. He reached for his napkin and dumped the whole plate on the floor. Without batting an eye, he immediately called out in a loud voice, "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty." My aunt had about 14 pet cats and dogs. The dogs were kept in the basement at mealtimes, but the cats had the run of the house. The cats must have been through this before because they all came running to the turkey dinner on the floor and didn't even bother to thank Grandpa for the unexpected treat. The dogs knew what happened and began to bark and howl their protest at being left out of the festivities. They eventually did get turkey gravy on their dried food and the way they dove in, you would have thought they had a whole turkey to themselves. It was a good thing Grandpa and Aunt Flo lived out in the country, 35 miles from Cincinnati. The racket would have had them run out of town if they lived in a city neighborhood.

[trkyhntr]

The turkey? That reminds me of a family Thanksgiving dinner, or perhaps it was Christmas, lo these many years ago. So long ago that memory dims.

Uncle Eddie was carving the turkey. I guess he applied too much pressure to the fork and knife and the turkey slipped off the plate and landed right smack in Aunt Caroline's lap. Uncle Eddie, never at a loss for words, said "Well, if you wanted the whole darned bird, you should have said so."

Santa's Claws

P.S. Good luck on you dinner preparations.

[PMS Witch]

Christmas Eve didn’t start off very well. Ok, it began just fine, but it soon deteriorated. I awakened at the usual time, and completed my fitness routine without difficulty, but the weather made walking tough. I misjudged the temperature. Although it was a little below zero, there was just too much snow for comfort. After stomping like BigFoot for a few miles, I arrived home hot and sticky. I also needed a few groceries before Christmas, so after making salads for the evening, I headed to the store, thinking that it would be a good idea to get this over with before taking a bath. That way, I’d avoid the discouraging routine of putting on fresh clothes only to get them very un-fresh by lugging groceries.

By now the sun was out in full force. Although the mercury in my thermometer was hiding in its cellar, my world felt furnace hot. The humidity inside my coat was just below the dew point. Images of the soothing soak awaiting my arrival home would float through my mind with every step. Finding blueberries from Chile on sale didn’t make my load any lighter. And I was in a hurry. I had other things to do and I viewed fetching provisions as a nuisance. Most of the time, I enjoy the walk, the bargain hunt, and surprising The Commander, but today, I wasn’t able to establish the right frame of mind. Eventually, I arrived home.

I had a couple of other things to attend to before it was soaking time. To save a bit of time, I shampooed while the tub filled. Then the magic moment arrived. I stepped into welcoming warm water. My personal bit of Heaven. I could relax. Duties done. The house was empty. Silence.

The soap slipped out of my hand. It dropped into the water. I could feel it bump my knee before it disappeared. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I stirred the water with both arms and both legs. No luck! I had no choice: this soap wouldn’t be located without me sitting up. And I was SO comfortable.

Wherever that soap was hiding, it was somewhere beyond my reach while sitting. It was gone! I tried to locate it repeatedly without success. My heart was filling with dread. I knew my only option was to stand up.

Facing defeat, I lifted myself out of the water. While balancing on one foot, I paddled the water with the other foot, searching for the soap. It was resting on the bottom next to the drain. I must have missed it by less than an inch with my earlier searching. I picked it out of the water.

Determined that I won’t be losing my soap again, I grasped it with great diligence and care. Unfortunately, I grasped it with great pressure as well. Too much pressure. It not only escaped my grip, it launched itself a couple of feet in the air. I tried to catch it, but without much luck. I only deflected it’s path enough to cause it to hit the edge of the tub and ricochet to the far side of the room. After rebounding off the baseboard once or twice, it came to rest behind the toilet. I could’ve reached around the right side and retrieved it easily enough, but it didn’t settle near the right side. It found its way to the left side, where the water pipe and shut-off valve makes it impossible to reach. Maybe not impossible, but difficult.

The Commander chose a fine time to be away. Now I’m faced with a dilemma. Do I chase my soap? Do I attempt to stretch the soap that’s sticking to my hands enough to finish my bath? Do I grab the bar of soap beside the sink? None of these choices will allow me to remain in the tub. Whatever I do, I’ll either dry off first or drip water. The only option not connected with a feeling of defeat will be to re-establish my dominion over the original bar of soap. I saw it peeking at me. In the shadows, it appeared to be smirking. I was getting determined.

Not to suffer additional humiliation, I took no chances. I didn’t want to risk reaching for it, only to suffer defeat as it slipped away once again, so I poked at it with a brush handle, knocking it into the corner. With all of its avenues of escape cut off, I felt its capture was certain. And it was!

Reluctant to take further risks, I tossed the soap into the water, and once I was sure it wasn’t jumping out again, I climbed in. Determined to finish my bath without further insult, I used both hands to catch my soap. Only after I felt it had submitted totally to my overwhelming powers, I dug into it with my fingernails and trusted myself to use it with only one hand.

And it stayed in the tub with me until I finished.

Today, on Christmas morning, I enjoyed full co-operation from my soap but our turkey looks a bit slippery. I’ll see how Christmas dinner preparations go. Wish me luck!

Cheers, PW.

Newspaper Quotes from the UK:

1. Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman from North West Gas said, "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr Purdey was charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house."
(The Daily Telegraph)

2. Police reveal that a woman arrested for shoplifting had a whole salami in her nickers. When asked why, she said it was because she was missing her Italian boyfriend.
(The Manchester Evening News)

3. Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch vehicle and they don't want the public to know what it looks like.
(The Guardian)

4. A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. a coastguard spokesman commented, "This sort of thing is all too common."
(The Times)

5. At the height of the gale, the harbour master radioed a coastguard on the spot and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was of any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff.
(Aberdeen Evening Express)

6. Mrs Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted her audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled, "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out "Heil Hitler."
(Bournemouth Evening Echo)

Please check rule number three on the board header. Both of you are out of line. I am not a moderator of this board, but if I were, the offending posts would be deleted. Stop this juvenile hissy fit now, please.
