Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

imagine trying to put a turntable in the car

There were some cars in the late '50s that had in-dash record players (they only played 45s).

Silence means security silence means approval

Plus 78s were made of Bakelite or somesuch brittle plastic.

78s were a lot thicker than LPs. They had to be to endure the speed and force needed to play them without breaking up.

A 78 is very heavy compared to a 45. I can't imagine Glen Miller going around Boulder carrying 10-12 78s and a record player without thinking that he was a really strong man.

Okay, Prison Break Question:

Was Michael's plan completely stupid or what? Don't get me wrong, Wentworth Miller is a very pretty man, even though he's not my type. But this show is crazy making!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec will be by to correct my mistakes shortly.

Nah, that's fine. Though the 16 RPMs were mostly used for non-musical purposes. Like...teaching typing, or speeches. The business stuff Ple alluded to.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's just standing over there making a clicking sound and soon I will kill it dead.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

So, is this the first new TDS in awhile? I forgot to check to see if it was on last night.

Random: 15+year ago a former friend( I haven't been able to find her since Berlin 3 years ago)/ classic N.O. wild child went on many double dates with Harry Connick Jr. and reported him to be a complete and utter gentleman (moreso than the love of her life at the time. She was very impressed with him. ) This, before I had a clue of his fame. I saw the teevee reports, and that just reinsured that opinion. Opportunistic? Sure. Still a good human? Yup.

I needta go to bed. But can't sleep. Ahrg. Maybe offline will help.

HC Jr. was totally hott with the shirtlessness and compassion.

Ready for bed now. I was pleased that TDS included the Barbara Bush cold hearted bullshit. It is unfortunate that they had so much material to choose from this week.
