Yikes!

Never heard it said any better.

This has a very nice ring to it.

Can't wait to see that!

My dog jumped up on my lap the other day and put his paw on my keyboard. He pulled off the Tab key. I haven't been able to get it back in place. Dogs and computers don't mix.

Sorry for going "off" in your thread but, gee, I had to respond. As a redirect, I'm ready for step 2. Let's vote out the incumbents!

I don't have the Thanksgiving stuff out yet.

But I'm happy when my gun is warm. According to John Lennon, the title came from an NRA slogan (guns?) he got from a magazine. The lyrics are ambiguous. Clearly some could be interpeted as drug references and that is a popular theory. Supposedly, Lennon intentionally wrote it this way for those that like to read too much into the meaning of lyrics. Some of it can be interpreted sexually as well. Take from it what you will. I like it and it says what I feel. If you can get Lennon to ring me up and tell me it was just about drugs and nothing else, I'll drop it. Here, enjoy these observations and opinions: Happiness Is A Warm Gun by The Beatles Songfacts Edit, additional thought. Many years ago I saw Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary, on tv. If I remember correctly, it was on the Tonight Show. Peter was asked about the drug references in the song "Puff the Magic Dragon". He talked about music being open to interpretation. He said there were no intended drug references in Puff but he could see how some could interpret it that way. To prove his point, he did an interpretation of the "Star Spangled Banner" as a drug song. It was pretty convincing that most any song can be interpreted in most any way the listener wants. I wish I could find the interview on Youtube or somewhere. If I do, I'll post it here.

,” "The difference is the Weather Underground actually had values and believed in things, while the radical rightwing extremists who advocate violence and treason today don’t believe in anything but greed, their phony “bibleand guns." I suppose the fact that I don't want to "share" my hard earned income to support others that choose not to participate in a productive society makes me greedy. It ticks me off when the person checking out at the supermarket in front of me buys steak with a food stamp card and I'm buying hamburger to help make ends meet. There's seriously something wrong with that.

Unfortunately, I believe you're right. Last night's vote reaffirmed that for me.

Interesting billboard. Some of the comments are interesting as well. Do you spend a lot of time at Liberaland? I know, you're keeping an eye on the opposition. I hope.

Brian Setzer's Christmas show is coming to the Ryman in a couple of weeks. Now there's some enjoyable Christmas music.

With my wife and I these are all special meals at home. Why go out for mediocre food and service when I can have the best of everything at home? Eating out is for when there is no other option. Boycott doesn't enter into it.

Me = King Of The Castle Actually, I'm very lucky. My wife had her Ruger .357 beside her and she prefers to eat the good stuff at home rather than any restaurant. Now if the grandkids were here, a gun on the table would be a no go here as well.

Even when none of the candidates really deserve my vote.

I just finished eating slow grilled pork tenderloin covered with a blackberry merlot sauce with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Pork so tender it melted in my mouth. You can't get something like that in any restaurant around here. And I had my 1911 sitting on the table. There's no place like home.

Which birth certificate?

Give me a Constitutional candidate that believes as I do and they get my vote. There's way too much politics in politics.

Pretty simple concept. I see no controversy with this. We're just back to the place we were before July.

I think this is precisely in agreement with what I stated earlier in the thread. It's pretty simple.

Perhaps some of the differences here come from a generational gap that I've observed within my own family. When I visit my kids, most meals are restaurant meals. Either we all go to a restaurant or they bring home take out food. To them eating at restaurants seems to be part of the lifestyle. Home cooked meals are rare. Maybe it's because they can't cook but I tend to think it has more to do with not wanting to put forth the effort. You come to visit me and every meal is home cooked. We take pride in the meals we prepare and much prefer eating at home. And yes, both my wife and I work and have busy schedules. Restaurants for me are only for when a home cooked meal is not possible. My wife and I both had birthdays recently. Our kids would go out to eat to celebrate their birthdays. We celebrate by preparing our favorite meals at home. For some of us, it's not an issue of supporting or not supporting restaurants. It's just a matter of practicality and necessity. We shouldn't criticize those that want to continue eating out where they can't carry but those of us that don't want to inconvenience ourselves to eat where we can't carry shouldn't be criticized either. I'm just not going to disarm myself to eat at an Outback or an Applebee's or some other crappy restaurant where the food is mediocre at best.

I've yet to experience dining in a Tennessee restaurant that was exceptional enough to make me want to disarm to eat there. The good stuff comes from my kitchen. No, that's not an invitation.

The Sonys have a great picture but the glossy screen gives too much reflection from room lighting. I guess it's ok if you always watch tv in a dark room.

I guess I misunderstood the thread title. I had to see what you were "getting" while on the road. I thought it must be some kind of "distracted" driving thread.
