Random Thoughts the Third

I just got to thinking, why the hell were the Brooklyn Dodgers called the Dodgers?

So I looked it up: Originally back in 1895, they were known as the Trolley Dodgers. Within a few years, it was shortened to just the Dodgers.

I immediately had mental images of people doing that. Yep, that fits! Neat!

Anyway, this is a good thread topic. I have random thoughts all the time.

Carry on...

 

If China was going to open a chain of generic, overpriced American food, it would be called Buffalo Express.

 

Yesterday, I tried fatback.

It was terrible.

 

Ever had chitlins?

I did once, and it tasted like shit was still in the tube.

Plus the things were chewy. As in trying to chew a superball. Chew chew chew and getting absolutely nowhere.

 

No. I would try them though.
We stopped at some southern Sunday buffet and they had these little, hard curls on the bar. I thought maybe they were onion rings, curly fries. Nope. It was fatback. It was HARD as a rock.

 

Reading a non-rhyming children's book after 3 or 4 rhyming ones is always a bit of a mind-#$@#

 

The Yahoo front page is absolutely obsessed with how sexy Elizabeth Hurley looks in one bikini or another. Every day there is a "story" about her.

I do click on every damn one of them, so maybe they are just providing the content because they know I will click. Wait, I'm the one obsessed with Elizabeth Hurley. Now it makes sense.

 

'Til Valhalla' may not apply to Marine who died masturbating in porta-potty

 

I always wondered what happened to Dennis Hopper's photojournalist character from Apocalypse Now in a way I've never wondered about a character.

So, I think he'd write a best-selling book about his experiences....then teach at UCLA or something.

 

More than Private Joker's journalism career after Vietnam?

 

“I ask the assembled group, ‘what even is combat
anymore?’ ” Lance Cpl. Dan Coffee said to his colleagues.

LOL didja see what they did there?

 

There are many worse ways to spin your wheels.

Now, try this one on and see how it fits ...
