A civil war is coming for the Democratic Party — and it won't be pretty [yahoo.com]

davknight comments on Jun 25, 2019:

We should worry more about a civil war erupting in the U.S., especially if Trump refuses to step down.

Well it fits like a dream.

davknight comments on Jun 24, 2019:

We need a freeze on rents, and a tax on landlords. That would provide money to build housing for the propertyless!

Do you think Trump will go down in history as the worse President ever?

davknight comments on Jun 24, 2019:

He's already thought of that way, by many, many people!

We can all live without God, but what is one thing you can't live without?

Name something edible that can be stored in your cabinet with an amazing shelf life?

davknight comments on Jun 22, 2019:

Once, I had nothing in the house to eat, except a package of spaghetti noodles, and some beef boullion cubes. So, I invented spaghetti in beef broth. Not bad. But I wouldn't want to live on it! Both however,would last in the cupboards a long, long time!

Scratch and sniff..

davknight comments on Jun 22, 2019:

I'm pretty old then! How I loved the smell of burnt paper caps, after detonating them in a cap pistol, or just hitting them with a hammer on the front porch! But did you know that the paper caps we played with originated with the Maynard Percussion Rifle? This was a system developed by Edward Maynard, back in the mid nineteenth-century, whereby a roll of paper caps was used to prime rifle-muskets. The Army adapted the design as the Springfield 1855 Rifle-Musket, but abandoned it in 1861 (because the paper caps became wet, and useless in the rain). Still, a few Union regiments marched off to the Civil War, equipped with the Maynards!

Have you ever had anything that could be termed miraculous happen to you?

Every now and then, I have pre-cognitive experiences. And they have saved my life on more than one occasion.

Happy Summer Solstice 👍🌞

davknight comments on Jun 21, 2019:

I'm amazed the Christians didn't find a way to plagiarize the Summer Solstice. Or is there a Catholic "holy day" I'm not aware of?

Donnie is an avid action movie enthusiast. And he meant to say "Cocked and Locked, and Ready to Rock!", like the marine in the film "The Rock". He got the name " Rocket Man" from that same film. Trump is just a grownup twelve-year old, with "the BIGGEST red button!"

I knew a cat like that, once!

It has been years, if not decades since I’ve seen a hitchhiker, but I saw a one tonight.

davknight comments on Jun 20, 2019:

We used to hitchhike a lot as teens. If you wanted to go somewhere, you just wet your thumb, and hung it out to dry! But by the mid to late 'seventies, it seemed to have become about as extinct as hopping trains. Still, the freedom of the open road was fun. Canada even used to have youth hostels for hitchhikers. One hot, summers day, while hitching along the main highway connecting Windsor, Ontario, with Toronto. I got stuck in the same spot. I was there so long, I started seeing stuff. And, in a cornfield, several hundred meters from the highway, I thought I saw a bunch of young girls, working topless. I quickly got out my binoculars, and zeroed in. And yup, it was a bunch of half-naked young girls. Then, at the precise moment I realized I wasn't hallucinating, a ride stopped. Later, when I got to my destination (Toronto Island Blues and Jazz Festival, Summer, 1973), I asked about what I had seen. And I learned it was a Canadian government-sponsored youth hostel. Too bad we never had anything like that in the U.S.!

This tent is almost interesting enough to make tenting appealing again.

davknight comments on Jun 20, 2019:

I underwent an MRI the other day, and thought that MRI tubes would make great beds for insomniacs like me. I even told the guy administering the test that if they could eliminate the noise factor, add a black light, and decorate the inside with black light posters, it would make the perfect bed!

I don't doubt it. Wogs have amazing sniffters! Did you know Wogs can't go to the bathroom, without first aligning themselves, so that one end is pointed towards magnetic north, and the other end pointed to magnetic south. This is why you see them turning around in circles, before they go doo-doo! (70,000 Wogs were studied, to arrive at that conclusion!).

I was 18 and 11 months 😊

Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisited Lyrics from album: Highway 61 Revisited (1965) Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" God say, "No." Abe say, "What ?" God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but The next time you see me comin' you better run" Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done ?" God says. "Out on Highway 61". Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes He asked poor Howard where can I go Howard said there's only one place I know Sam said tell me quick man I got to run Ol' Howard just pointed with his gun And said that way down on Highway 61. Well Mack the finger said to Louie the King I got forty red white and blue shoe strings And a thousand telephones that don't ring Do you know where I can get ride of these things And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son And he said yes I think it can be easily done Just take everything down to Highway 61. Now the fift daughter on the twelfth night Told the first father that things weren't right My complexion she said is much too white He said come here and step into the light he says hmmm you're right Let me tell second mother this has been done But the second mother was with the seventh son And they were both out on Highway 61. Now the rowin' gambler he was very bored He was tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes I think it can be very easily done We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61.

Here in Florida, every clump of trees, or patch of bushes has one of the 'Sans Domiciles' residing therein. The Rich should thank their lucky stars, that the 'Sans Domiciles' aren't as yet cognizant of the REAL cause of their suffering. Then, it might start to looking like 1787 in France, with the 'Sans Cullottes' rising up!

davknight comments on Jun 14, 2019:

You may remember that the people of Early America were largely of British origin, and brought over/adapted many British melodies. The song you mentioned was set to the tune of "Anacreon on High", an English drinking song. "Yankee Doodle" was an English composition, meant to poke fun at the American rebels, who adapted it for themselves. Many colonial Americans brought over fiddles, and many a tune, already committed to memory. It was common for them to adapt new sets of lyrics to the melodies they'd brought over from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England. The same thing happened in Australia, which, as you know, was founded as a replacement, for the loss of the American colonies.

That crank certainly was noisy, lol.

With Trump, there are no coincidences; its all planned well in advance.
