2012 RETRO POST IN REMEMBRANCE OF JOHN BOEHNER

i have found my calling doing nothing. i'm good at it.

i retired early on the exact day i was eligible. upon my retirement i got advice from the management:

division chief large caliber "you can always quit".

section chief tech services directorate, "no one ever quits".

project leader, "after all we've done for you.... you're quitting?".

YES, I QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*******************************************************************

YOU GOTTA KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM

Zip- A- Dee-Doo-Dah, boehner's retirement song is better than mine which is blue skies.

blue skies shining on me
nothing like blue skies do i see.......

my associates did not believe someone could do absolutely nothing and make no money. i'm average income wise but like boehner i'm comfortable and continue doing nothing, yea, yea, yea..

blue bird singing a song
nothing like bluebirds all day long.........

MIKADO IS RACIST


ny times 9/18:"Mikado’ Production Canceled Over Racial Concerns"


its the same production since 1885 - a classic.

next thing these liberal intellectual cripples will complain about will be: the godfather, fiddler on the roof, a tree grows in brooklyn, the bible old teatament and new.

***************************************************************************

TRUMPED

trump and his illegal toxic hair should be deported back to ... ummm ... kenya?

this second rate billionaire should "be out of here so fast your head will spin" - trump.

we don't want any fraudulent wackos from kenya.
.
look at that hair... ugh. not presidential.

when he shows proper documentation maybe we'll let him back in the USA..

i want to see trump's long form birth certificate from kenya.

i don't accept contributions. i am spending my own money for this computer.

*************************************************************************

9/11 REVISITED

we don't forget. i'm teared up right now thinking lf it.

of another event: being very young when pearl harbor occurred only makes me angry. forgiveness is not in my genetic makeup.

FLIGHT 93

"United Airlines Flight 93 was a domestic scheduled passenger flight that was hijacked by al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001"

yes i listened and grieved for these people and this great country but i also think often of the possible coverup of the downing of another plane twa flight 800 in july 1996 witnessed by many, many people who agree it was shot down. i truly believe we are being lied to in this case.

GOVT. engineers say it was the fuel tank. govt. engineers all respond politically. so strange that the fuel tank had gas fumes. just sayin'. i worked with DOD engineers for 30 years.

******************************************************************************

JUST SAYIN'

if we lived with supreme court decision in bush v. gore then kim davis can live with same sex marriage decision or stay in jail.

nuthin' much going on.

***********************************************************************

THE NEWs??

kim davis, of rowan county, kentucky, a modern day, joan d'arc, apparently willing to be burned at the stake to uphold her beliefs. not a very smart move when your job description conflicts with your beliefs. don't take the job or quit the job.

during the 'nam war my religious leader wanted to hold a special session for people working for DOD because of the plight they cause the vietnamese, no one showed up. perhaps i should have refused to do my job since i would find that it would be very difficult to harm another person.

have you noticed that the refugees that the media claim to have been in squalid, terrible camps for at least a week appear to be so clean and healthy. i look more soiled after eating breakfast.

**************************************************************

ON DOING NOTHING

somehow although its a mystery to me doing nothng has gotten a bad reputation among the common people like engineers, salesmen, small business men et al. this particular attribute is my strong point. i've been doing nothing for almost 30 years now, 84 years if you include my government service and youth. when i retired from my DOD job with the incompetants and idiots: management, peers and subordinates. actually i was working hard trying to be invisible and doing nothing at DOD even though my brain broke through my resistance at times and i actually did something for mankind (see: Saturday, August 22, 2015 titled MY BOOK. on this blog).

strangely those doing the least and are most confused seem to be most adamant that they work hard. did ted williams or joe dimaggio or me work hard? absolutely not because we are talented and know what we are doing.

my future plans are to continue on my present path. i don't need fame, fortune, or approval from self proclaimed experts.

other people slow you down, stop you in your tracks, discourage you, or come off the bench and tackle you. even if you want to do something it is difficult to get past the nay sayers and your depressing so called friends. they say they can do anything but upon close scrutiny they are useless.

it is so sad when i meet older people who can't seem to give up the so-called work ethic. they'll do anything to prove their worth. i guess being a DONALD i am born with the talent of being able not to do anything. people should do things for me.

i think i have almost achieved excellence in being useless. each day in every way i am more useless. yea, yea, yea........

******************************************************************************

EXIT STAGE DOWN

pain and suffering are conditions that i cannot abide. i am not good bearing these conditions. while in the hospital and suffering which i am not good at. i asked the doctor to just kill me. he said, it wasn't on his list of treatment options. i was thinking about a painless and quick exit from this life and i came up with nothing. the robin williams choice seemed too severe even for my unhappy state.

during my second hospital admission after the transplant i was feeling so miserable i thought that was the best time to exit. i was feeling so bad i wouldn't have noticed that all organs had ceased to function.

i am not looking forward to a replay of this type event or worse before the end.

bye. aaarrrgghhhhhh...............

wait! i'm hungry. pass the pizza and beer.

*************************************************************************

YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW: THE COST OF MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST CEREAL

shopper's supermarket sells "spoon size shredded wheat" for about two bucks. kashi sells the same stuff called "autumn wheat biscuits" for about four dollars. the best of this type product is called post's "shredded wheat spoon size" sells for $3.29. the price difference must be in the name.

the large size biscuits cost about $2.70 at shoppers.

the truth is now out and i am relieved.

LIGHTWEIGHT JEB'S LAST GASP

is jeb really going to go head to head with the donald? thats definitely a loser, loser, loser for the bush family. going up against a new york city bred wise guy is not a good idea.

this reminds me of the movie, dead end, where the rich kid keeps taking it from the street wise dead end kids.

ASSORTED JUNK AND MYSTERIES OF MY LIFE II

why do they call a stock market crash a correction?

why does a delusional war criminal ex vice-president think he has anything worthwhile to say? shouldn't we resurrect nuremberg trials for him and his peers.

did mrs. L only want to give me milk and cookies in about 1947 when she offered to give me milk and cookies - probably. reminds me of "Occam's razor......... 'law of parsimony') is a problem-solving principle..........The principle states that among competing hypotheses that predict equally well, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove to provide better predictions, but—in the absence of differences in predictive ability—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better......."

******************************************************************************

ASSORTED JUNK AND MYSTERIES OF MY LIFE

the myth that van gogh cut off his ear for a woman is make believe. he cut his ear while shaving. you can see that he gave up shaving as he grew a beard. i cut myself every time i shave. .......... Van Gogh threatened his friend with a knife before turning it on himself and mutilating his ear lobe. Afterward, he allegedly wrapped up the ear and gave it to a prostitute at a nearby brothel. .......... women!!!!!!

who was the girl who jumped into my lap at marcia's sweet sixteen party in 1946 (? 1947 ?)?

why was einstein's hair so messy? i suspect he wasn't smart enough to find a barber.

i know there are very few who have any interest in my thoughts and comments thats your problem not mine.

i had no choice. i think when i signed up for an unknown reason now to huff. post they signed me onto facebook. i personally don't need a thousand friends or even one. any friends are annoying. i certainly don't need anyone's approval. stay away! beware of the witch/dog/disease/poison/guns/crazy old man. thank you.

*********************************************************************************

MUSIC UP: THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS .......

lol that donald trump is the best that republicans can nominate for prez.

as an entertainer and gossip he can always get a job w/hbo after the bill maher show.

*********************************************************************

MOVIE OBSESSED

i get very involved with movie actors characters on screen and off. i empathize and feel their pain in life and on the screen.

herbert marshall a weak and sick character for one is subjected to a neurotic, emotional and erratic bette davis in the letter and in the little foxes. not only does she cuckhold him in the letter, she hurts him financially and murders her lover. at the end gale sondergard avenges them all. in the little foxes she deliberately doesn't give him his heart (or something) pills. poor guy. i guess he gets some revenge by becoming an enemy agent in foreign correspondent. he is really messed up at this point.

cindy williams who was a sweet high school girl in american graffiti with the greatest music and cast of all time. she went downhill as she hooked up with penny marshall as two very common young people in laverne and shirley. fortunately she married well and has at least one child. mackenzie phillips does an amazing job. so sad that she was hooked on drugs.

among others i am also concerned about is elizabeth perkins whose heart was broken when tom hanks turned into a little boy in big. she seems to have gotten over that adventure.

having fallen in love with julianne moore i was disappointed when she played women who were less than virtuous in various movies such as elektra lux (she was uncredited as virgin mary).

gotta go. bye.
*******************************************************************************************

THE DONALD TRUMP AND GEORGE BUSH LOSER SHOWS

interesting day yesterday.

watched the trump hour. he puts on a great show and knows about as much as any other republican politician. cannot compare hillary with the republican field. her background is exponentially better then others. from being a college and grad school scholar to holding prestigious offices for the government. i would like to see other politicians emails. probably full of ashley madison type of communications with pictures of their sexual attributes like anthony weiner et al. revealing stuff but not allegedly classified incorrectly. their penises are not classified.

i find trump very entertaining. just an entertainer is great but should not be enough to be president although this puts him a leg up over most of the field. fiorina and kasich might be acceptable.

*****************************************************************************

george w bush had the nerve to show up in new orleans and actually make a speech how he saved us from katrina. i guess republicans with their heads up their ass were his audience.

next week (i think) before the trump, cruz show we'll have the honor of having to listen to, cheney, our version of emperor nero who would burn his own country for his own benefit.

In 64 AD, most of Rome was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome, which many Romans believed Nero himself had started in order to clear land for his planned palatial complex,........... he committed suicide on 9 June 68 (the first Roman emperor to do so).......

we're more civilized. cheney will eventually die naturally and will elbow his way to sit next to jesus in the hereafter or will he probably elbow out jesus or ..... never mind.

*************************************************************************************

AT THE REHAB CENTER

dropping dead might be the best alternative to going through all the crap, pain, suffering and demeaning life you have when going and sorta' living at the hospital or rehab facility. you're going to endure all this stuff when you actually die. no sense going through this again.

i was doing fairly well and about to be released when my therapist came to work with a cold. being that the therapists seemed to really need their pay i went with her to the therapy room where i believe i caught her cold.

even with the cold i signed out and went home. hasta la vista. it was a good decision even if it set me back physically about two weeks.

it did not improve my mental health much (just a little) except that physical and mental health seem to go together at least for me.

i learned that even old people who seem to be mentally challenged and do not talk or are inert can be active mentally and smarter than most people who are walking around running their mouths.

the woman across the hall from me sat outside her room in complete silence with her eyes closed. i am sure she was able to take in the hallway society and culture providing her with entertainment and mental activity.

***************************************************************************************

MY BOOK

i give up being modest. it gets you no place. check with donald trump.

i searched my name and middle initial and found a couple of my booklets with new covers for sale on amazon at outrageous prices. these are public documents generated while employed by DOD. anyone can copy and reprint them from (i think) the defense documentation center. the vender must have sold one or more of them as they have new covers. why bother if there are no suckers out there. all were published in the 1960s and 1970s.

why would anyone want them? then again even the dead, dead dead sea scrolls have value and they were written by cavemen.

btw, my idiot (defense dept.) boss did not want to spend the govt. play money on my work. months after publication i got a letter from the command that one item was valuable and i got requests for it 'til i retired.

on the advice of a fellow slave i asked my new boss (as you can see my anal-rententive old boss and i did not get along) for some sort of award which was common. he said, "write it up"). i said, "that's your job. i have other things to do.". for some reason unbeknownst to me i never received anything.

on another project generated by myself i received $50 which my boss proudly gave me. i said, "what's this. my cigars cost more than this".

i have other whiny, boring stories from which i'll spare you.

and you ask why did i retire early?

my point is that i have an item being sold on amazon and you don't.

*******************************************************************************

REPUBLICAN PARTY CRASHING AND SOON BURNING

when will the trumpster start promoting some of his people for congress. i suspect that many of his supporters have been disillusioned by the so called tea party. we need a new face on congress.

when will jeb drop out? have you noticed that he doesn't look well. he hust doesn't have the energy to be president.

*****************************************************************

COLLEGE DAYS - JUST SAYIN'


(this item was originally about the minimum wage. after many revisions it has turned into the following.)


while receiving most of my room and board from my parents and attending CCNY (mostly free) in 1951 i worked about 18 hours a week making $1 an hour which is now worth about $9.18. i used most of this minimum wage money with the aide of my father's car on dates and weekend expenses. much too much to throw away on some girl which i did.

the girl in this case was elaine#2. she seemed to think this new found wealth was coming to her. she was initially likable but quickly became a pain. she was really pissed when dumped. actually i just walked away with no excuse. she'd have to figure it out for herself.

too bad you married guys in the u.s.a. can't just walk away.

with a clear head we met again by chance in about 1954 at rockaway beach in bklyn, ny. her cousin with her started talking to me while she was standoffish. i was wondering what i saw in her but was nice enough to give her another chance by calling her. finding that she still was delusional i pretended that i couldn't feed the pay phone i was calling from with the required coin. bye, bye, elaine#2.

good decision - lesson learned: never throw good time and money after bad.

was this a mistake: spoiling the girl i was dating? actually she was probably spoiled before i got there.

anyway as you can see i've got nothing today.

(i'll get back to the minimum wage problem some other time).

****************************************************************************

THE FIX IS ALWAYS IN

as i told a co-worker who was troubled (believe it or not) because of her promotion that she didn't think was deserved, "the fix is always in except that this time it is for you.".

speaking of fixes, i see that jeb is moving up (place wise) in the polls. i would never accuse the poll takers that they were dishonest or unscientific but as we all have seen there are many, many tricks and illusions with which we can be fooled. jeb's backers are the same bunch that have reaped extraordinary profits from unnecessary wars. they have no shame. as donald trump has said jeb is just a puppet.

no more bushs.

contrary to general opinion jeb is exactly or worse than his bro'. he's not protecting his bro'. he's probably worse. his job is to absolve the chicken hawks for history.

LADY LUCK AND MURPHY

lady luck and murphy of the famous murphy's law are a couple that visits all elderly people. their goal is to get laughs from the infirmities both mental and physical of the geriactricly challenged.


proof of murphy. dropped soap on foot. lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place but it did. i dropped the soap again on the same foot. it must have been the work of murphy. very funny murphy - ha, ha.

******************************************************************************

all is vanity even in my mid 80s but i needed larger sized clothes after the transplant. somehow i trimmed down over the past 19 months, not that it matters to anyone except my delusional ego. as far as i'm concerned i'm still that good looking' 22 year old in the u. s. army. if you don't see that its your problem.

THE AMAZON BUCK ROGERS BOOK

received my buck rogers book, "the collected works of buck rog.......". i think i was supposed to get, "the complete buck rog....". anyway it is thick enough and heavy enough for my cost. the vender's description read that it was used but in good condition. NOT - it has an odor of a damp musty cellar and its spine is broken but it'll do. life is short and i'm a pushover. its airing out in my garage.

**************************************************************************************

FRANK GIFFORD

as i am a true curmudgeon and giant fan i can only recall gifford's performance in the 1958 title game while listening to the game in nyc in my in-laws apt.

living in balto. at that time my wife and i had to suffer the further indignity of having to drive home down the jersey turnpike among the colt's fans leaving yankee stadium and nyc.

He experienced the highs and lows as a player. Gifford fumbled twice early in the 1958 NFL championship game, both of which led to Baltimore Colts touchdowns, and later came up short on a critical third down. The Colts eventually won 23-17 in the league's first overtime game, which helped popularize the NFL and was dubbed "The Greatest Game Ever Played," although not by Gifford.


i guess its time for forgiveness. rip, frank.

AMERICAN HUSTLE WITH AMY ADAMS

DEBATE BLUES

i'm gad the debate was fair and balanced. my staff picked up some scattered papers near the stage of the debate.

this is some of the material written:

ECONOMICS mr. trump - you are admired as a businessman how come you went bankrupt four times?

AGRICULTURE mr. bush - how about that florida orange juice?

WOMEN'S ISSUES mr. trump why have you called women, "dogs and pigs"?

EDUCATION mr. bush - aren't kindergartners cute?


looks fair and balanced to me.

very oddly bush kept throwing his head to the side looking like he was practicing for the miss america contest, hmmmmmmmmm.

what was he thinking? where did he think he was?

yes, he's his own man or something.

APPLE COMPUTER SUCKS (AND ALL THE COAT TAIL CORPORATIONS - GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, ETC.)

i've been trapped in password hell for three days.

supposedly when steve jobs was alive apple products were supposed to be easy and intuitive to operate. yes-and i found them to be that way. lately they have been just the opposite.

i've been using apple computers since the late 70s. then later switched to the windows operating systems from microsoft. windows xp being the best and it still is. unfortunately in order to make $$$ money $$$ we must move on. my purchase of a windows system a few months ago was returned because the damn thing kept trying to sell me things. soooooo i returned it and bought this nightmare.

i know there are other operating systems. i'm just getting too old to digest all these new instructions i'm told that must be read and learned.

On April Fool's Day, 1976, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs released the Apple I computer and started Apple Computers.


just sayin': when computers would just assist you in calculating trig and logarithmic functions (before the pictures, games. music,.....) they were the best.

EX-MACHINA MOVIE

saw the movie. its sorta' ok. basically its about the superiority of women. at the end the woman (created as a robot) frees herself and trashes the men. this was probably done better w/o the robots by bette davis or joan crawford in some 1930s movie.

ho, hum.......

DONALD TRUMP REPLACES TEA PARTY

the people have given up waiting for the tea party to do anything worthwhile. trump holds the promise of accomplishing something. even stopping the usual corrupt republican suspects would be something.

BRAVE DENTIST AND DICK CHENEY CAN KILL CAGED ANIMALS
OR
NEW JERSEY UBER ALLES

the brave dentist killing the old, tame and caged lion is something the g w bush administration might take pride in. only a dentist from new jersey would be proud of this event. the cost of this trip is most significant since the appearance of being rich is the only characteristic we in new jersey value. mainly to the mentally challenged of the garden state which is most of the people.

this is one way you climb the social ladder in new jersey: kill or hurt something helpless.

yes i know the guy is from minnesota-tomato/tomahto.

BUCK ROGERS

wikipedia
Buck Rogers is a fictional character who first appeared in a novella titled Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan published in the August 1928 issue of the pulp magazine Amazing Stories as Anthony Rogers. [1] A sequel, The Airlords of Han, was published in the March 1929 issue.


when we fnally moved from (ugh) new jersey about 16 years ago my book of collected works of buck rogers in the 25th century disappeared. i think my wife threw this great classic away thinking it was junk. i on the other hand was under the delusion that this great collectible classic was of great value.

well, i was really relieved when i think i found on amazon that a used copy is practically worthless.

some of the material in the book is precious today like the rocket ships with open cockpits and people standing up in them as they travel or wilma deering at times running around in skimpy clothes with a vagina shaped jewel in the appropriate place.

IT WASN'T HITLER, IT WAS GERMANY

spending the afternoon watching talks on c-span3 about the rape of belgium during ww1 by the germans. the germans didn't disappoint me. they exhibited their paranoia, barbaric behavior, greed, and cruelty which really shouldn't be a surprise. to herbert hoover's cred1t is the injection of american charity into begium's travail.

Herbert Hoover and Belgian Relief in World War I

".... The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Humanitarian, 1914–1917, is also a book about politics, again of a special sort: the politics of philanthropy and humanitarian relief on a scale previously unknown and unimagined. ....."


"For his (Hoover's) efforts, he became an important wartime adviser to President Woodrow Wilson, who made Hoover a part of the American delegation to the conference of the Treaty of Versailles."

if you know anything (now i do) about ww1 you'll know that the germans in spite of their whining and thirst for revenge got off easy with the treaty of versailles. they were evil and at fault.

it is now clear to me that winston churchill's comments about germany at the end of wwii were based on his experience and clearly justified.

TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED IV

AMBULACE RIDE

i was to be transferred from the hospital to the rehab facility by ambulance. they were late. distressed and unhappy about that stay at the hospital and with the quack doctor assigned to me suicide started to be an option. one more minute in this f'en place might push me over the edge.

the doctor was trying out various vender gadgets and crazy ideas on me presumably because i was dying anyway. finally i put a stop to his quackery. being so unhappy and sick i was toying with the idea of jumping through the window and down from the 10th floor. the window appeared very sturdy and the whole suicide plan suddenly didn't seem to be a very good idea. oh well-forget it.

while i was still alive (but not screaming) the ambulance arrived late of course. scary but interesting was when they let me off the bed i found that i could not hold my own weight. the driver had to hold me up. finally while i was cheering the gurney was pushed out of the building up the ambulance ramp into the compartment. i was happier even though the driver didn't seem to miss a pothole on the way to the rehab facility. ethnic radio music filled the vehicle. it started off ok but gradually i developed a loathing for it.

when he was about to leave i said, "i hope you don't miss any potholes on the way back".

saved, saved, saved. the bed was comfortable with all the appropriate bedding. excellent food was served. the room was large and tastefully decorated. life may not be perfect but it was better.

yes i know you just don't care. move on down the line.

TRUMP JACKASSISM VASTLY UNDERSTATED

as you know lindsey graham called trump a jackass. i'm sure he toned down his true feelings. as demonstrated by trump today he went on and on and on attempting to demean graham. all he managed to do is make himself look like a jackass. hitleresque i would say in all his loud inaccurate ravings which would sell in 1930s germany.

speaking of jackasses the national review is said to have called bernie sanders of polish/jewish descent a national socialist. very nice, natonal review.

DEAR TEXAS

the reason you are paranoid is that you owe the federal government a huge amount of tax money. you are not being invaded. we are already stuck with you. in fact although you don't know it you are part of the usa. the reasons you got all this federal money is due to the facts that there is no human talent actually wanting to live there and the bush family political influence. please return the money as soon as possible for your own mental stability.

i lived in san antonio for a few months in 1953 and got tired of stepping on beetles in the street. i visited the alamo where all those loser back woodsmen were killed.

COULDA' BEEN SOMEBODY

during the second war against the german murderers food and gasoline and other stuff needed for our war effort were rationed because of shortages.

after the war ended and in 1946 (after the germans were responsible for the deaths of over 2% of the world's population) it is claimed that rationing ended. shortages continued for a long time. The Office of Price Administration was terminated in 1947, with its various functions reassigned to other federal agencies.

when i was 15 (or 16) while vacationing in 1946 (or 1947) with my parents i met elaine whose father was a butcher and whose mother displayed rings and jewelry on all exposed skin. butchers were the kings of consumer food distribution, revered by housewives. elaine took a liking to me which i admit was not hard to do. she lived in brooklyn and i lived in the bronx. a divide so great for one of my age that she might as well be living on pluto and also i didn't have a clue as to what to do with a girlfriend. thinking back i know i could'a been somebody. a butcher's delivery boy leading a life of unlimited privilege and wealth. certainly better than working with engineering idiots in the defense dept. and new jersey for 30+ years. FYI: i wandered aimlessly like the biblical israelites in the new jersey wasteland for almost 40 years.

SORTA' HEALTHYISH

trying to track down why i felt better today resulted in concluding that it was either the ice cream or the twizzlers or the walnuts or the cake. healthy eating is very important.

PLAYING THE DIPLOMA CARD

its always good to talk about your phd. people are impressed. there is an excellent chance that they will never realize that you are a delusional moron.

you sat through 200 or 300 incredibly boring college credit hours. this is to your credit for your discipline and dedication but my dog can do the same thing.

be sure to learn new words that only you and william buckley understand and he's dead. if anyone else understands you, you have not fulfilled your phd union requirements. and speak softly so that people must bend towards you to hear you. make sure you mention your phd. did i mention that you should say phd as often as possible. speak only to people who have an appointment to see you. you may plagiarize as one of your perks. no one can know everything. if bearded, stroke it frequently. smoke a pipe and blow the smoke in the face of your audience. being an absolute jerk seems to be a plus among phds. having a phony accent is admired (kissinger or buckley for example). be sure to mention how difficult your life has been. if you do not have the stated diplomas and documentation don't worry about it because no one will authenticate your background. these are some of the tricks you must use to intimidate your audience.

you must use these tips because you have no natural ability.

employers will hire a phd over the average homeless person. can't blame them. i would do the same.

i have more complaints but i'm getting bored with this.

just saying'. when i was a kid my phd uncle had me take a magazine published IQ test. i got 14 of the 15 questions correct. i asked him how many he got right? he said, "10". i'm sure he decided the test was at fault. he's been dead for many years but i'm still angry over the misinformation he gave me which i followed.

he whipped me at chess when i was a kid many times. one day when i was in college i challenged him to a game and avenged all my previous defeats whipping his butt. you are only as good as your last game.

MOVIES IV

its amazing how much better movies are today than when thomas edison was making them. i've seen this with my own eyes. when i was a kid in the mid 1930s my aunt florence took me to the movies. the freeman theater on southern boulevard under the el was one of them and showed the oldest and presumably the least expensive movies available.

The Freeman Theatre opened around 1922 with a little over 1,600 seats. It was located on Southern Boulevard between Freeman Street and Home Street.

The Freeman Theatre closed during the 1970’s, and sat vacant until it was demolished in early-2015.

there were interesting movies like the one with a folding bed that opened and closed - awesome.

the scariest was the one with an ape that murdered people in their beds by reaching through the heating duct grate. i worry about this to this day when near a heating duct.

today these movies are considered classics for intellectuals and would cost you extra. for this alone i am happy not being an intellectual.

RELIGIOUS NEWS

i have had an epiphany. i realize that the ancient romans had it right. they had many gods. the world today is too complicated to accommodate a single being sitting on his throne scratching his various areas doing whatever comes to his mind for whatever vague and obscure reasoning.

even in today's world a variety of people believe in spirits, elves, fairies, saints, ghosts, and other beings with a variety of influence over the alleged supreme being. obviously their influence is more equal than imagined as bad things seem just as likely to occur as good things. since there is no way of satisfying all sprites, spirits, goblins or trolls at the same time then just give it up. on the other hand just smile at everybody or every spirit.

my personal favorites are lady luck and murphy of murphy's law fame. they get their kicks by making my life as miserable as possible. they laugh and laugh. many times i send them packing when i feel well. do not try to appease them because they feel even happier and try harder.

so much for religious training today.

MOVIES lll

many high school movies are silly and immature but sometimes they can affect you and make you wonder what the hell you thought you were doing those many, many years ago. yes, i know. you were growing up. most of us, especially myself, never quite reached maturity.

anyway ...... among h.s. movies i really, really liked:
fast times at ridgefield high
and
the battle of shaker heights.

except for attending classes and doing the work it was the best of times and i didn't know it.

ECONOMICS???????

being that greek banks are closed today there will be no further televising of cute young women in skimpy sun dresses at the banks' ATMs.

CNBC commentators do not have a clue as to where the world and its economy are going. in yesterday's computer stock market crash they were running around like chicken little thinking that the sky was falling. i suggest that you give them dilbert's etch-a-skefch and tell them its a computer. i loved when the head of the nyse was interviewed and didn't know a thing about what was happening. what do you expect from someone making an eight figure salary?

i dunno either???????

NYSE COMPUTER DOWN - FINANCIAL PERSONS GO CRAZY

financial people are not too stable. obviously affluence and trading securities people are just too soft mentally and probably physically. between this event, their erectile dysfunction, paranoia, and alcoholism they are on the edge of madness. i suggest quaaludes and a little poverty may do them a some good.

the FBI and other heavyweights are investigating. next time my home computer goes down i'll call the FBI for help.

be sure to call heidi fieiss for brow stroking.
