A Little Daymusic Diversion
251 repliesPomp’s back with some more music, this time with a twist. Give it a listen.
While looking for clips for a OT idea I had I stumbled across these guys. I have no idea how I had not seen these before.
It matches nicely the span of my musical interest.
For those unfamiliar, this is what the title references.
That’s the post, the “rondo” is up to you.
[Ed note: And since I promised a twist and Pomp’s might have been missed, here’s a bonus version]
So a ‘certain someone” is already “gently encouraging” me to expand my OT topics. It will happen soon enough unless you guys are already sick of my music, then I will accelerate the process.
It’s filler anyway, so I don’t know that it matters but I’d rather it not just bore everyone.
do you know how to make silverware or leather sandals? I would love more interesting history or maybe Sci-fi
Surely this crowd needs some economic literature or how bout Spiritual topics!!!!!
sci-fi would be next up I think.
Dune would cover all of that
and we have like 15 novels to delve into….
Dune: perhaps THE worst movie ever made
there is a new one coming eventually
a new Dune?!?!?
no … that would be just wrong on so many levels
now YOU have mail, too
There was a miniseries that I never actually watched, it was supposed to be better than the movie….fwiw
“We could be dreaming all the time, but we do not perceive those dreams while we are awake because consciousness (like the sun obscuring stars during the day) is much too brilliant to allow the unconscious content so much definition.”
― Brian Herbert, House Corrino
… and AC said “Let there be light!” and there was, and it was good (Isaac Asimov, “The Last Question”)
speaking of Q-Anon (steve, above) … and this … makes me wonder: what would happen if Q-Anon’ers ran into The Borg?
who assimilates who???
the Borgs’ logic circuits fry, but only if they attempt to assimilate….”Resistance is not necessary please move along…we have guns too”
GMTA
also LMAO
“Law always moves in the direction of protecting the strong and oppressing the weak. Dependence upon force corrodes justice. — CROWN PRINCE RAPHAEL CORRINO,
Precepts of Civilization”
― Brian Herbert, House Corrino
right? and that’s just wrong … law SHOULD be about protecting the weak (IMO)
also, we need a Trickle Up economy, not a Trickle Down economy (IMO)
if whishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets
give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll be on the lake every weekend
….and he’ll buy a boat
Boat (noun) – bottomless hole in the water into which one constantly pours money
“When the shepherd is a wolf, the flock becomes only so much meat.”
― Brian Herbert, House Corrino
ok, now I’m getting hungry …
pass the mint jelly, please?
so Humans could learn from actual smart people
yet Qanon exists anyway
some people’s chill’en … whatcha gonna do?
drunk lifes or something
what a waste
Either damaged and/or susceptible people mostly I think.
Also not well thought out but one could be the checkout gal or guy. forget about gunshop owners
the trailer is awesome…sadly that is often the best thing about some movies
right? maybe movies should be limited to 3 minutes
triple features every 15 min…all day long.
Dune, Sand Dune, Stuck in the Sand Dune, Dune Doom ..
Du..Du. Do>Do Dunnee…
gotta give you credit … way to SPICE it up
*no spoilers*
actually have an amusing anecdote about that…coming soon to an OT near you.
it’s already common knowledge!
spiritual, huh?
or maybe something even MORE spirit-in-the-sky-tual …
I thought you were going all area-51
I’m with Neil: not enough “proof” … bring me a towel, something that is CLEARLY “otherwordly” and I will GLADLY believe
Look at your fingers
see those swirls, you are as unique as a snowflake, there are countless Suns and Worlds revolving around them, We could be the only World with living beings, but we could be one of millions of snowflakes in God’s eternity
you are unique
just like everyone else
i’m not, wait, what?
and for whatever reason, always liked this one …
we will NEVER tire of your music! (of course, I’m a “music guy” anyway so there’s that)
BBQ wars or maybe Jeep conversations?
speaking of which … know anyone who wants to buy a 63 CJ-6?
the next few will still be music until I get my sea legs.
I defer to you on all things blues, but had an idea for a quick one about Chess Records.
If you are in the chat hit me up, or I’ll tell BRaG to share my email, I’d like your feedback if you are willing.
(using my very best AOL voice) You’ve Got Mail!
I did a whole show on The Sun Records Story a few or several months ago – it’s one of the ones on mixcloud
Best Gene Wilder Movie?
haha
Did you know?
had a small role in a gangster movie that is well known….
Would have to go by decade, or top 5 in no particular order.
Or clarify, the best movie w/Gene or his best performance.
The Producers
Young Franfenshteen
Willy Wonka
Blazing Saddles…
all of that?
Actor Gene Wilder in his film debut portrayed Eugene Grizzard, one of Bonnie and Clyde’s hostages. His girlfriend Velma Davis was played by Evans Evans.
Great film, have not seen it in prob 10+ yrs.
Nice bit of trivia as well.
Add Stir Crazy.
Oompa loompas freaked me out.
There were a lot of dark, creepy things in the original book. Dunno about the re-written version, though.
I would go with Young Frankenstein over all. But i agree with pomp’s list. Not sure thats really ever happened before 😜
Frankenstein agree
Silver streak was very enjoyable
Dont forget Stir Crazy….. Thats right… we bad
Silver Streak..
Bary Corbin as the warden.
🙂
I am loathe to disagree with my good friend pompano, but I’m a go with Blazing Saddles and Young Frankieboy (in that order)
https://www.nbcsports.com/edge/article/offseason-team-previews/2021-chargers-offseason-preview
Defensive Coordinator: The Chargers Defense will be undergoing one of the bigger scheme changes this offseason. They used two-high safeties on 31% of their plays last year (32nd) and a one-high safety at the highest rate (76%). Brandon Staley’s Rams were the exact opposite, running two-high looks at the highest rate (77%) and single-high at the lowest (17%) per NextGen Stats. Staley’s setup is far better at stopping the pass and defending the modern offense, and he has the two star defenders (Derwin James, Joey Bosa) to somewhat replicate what he had with Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald.
so you are the New Orleans Saints and are ($69,500,461) in the hole
What do you do?
https://overthecap.com/calculator/new-orleans-saints/
Cutting Drew Brees costs you 11 million in dead money and saves you 1 million on the cap
It is impossible
I have cut half the team and still have 21 million in the hole
oh, tomorrow (Monday) afternoon I get be a Volunteer Science Fair Judge … on Zoom and Google Docs … pretty cool
is Payola allowed?
to Upamtn
My son is sorta in the same bind
He owns a Semi
and drives on a contract and the repairs on the truck or just trying to gather the money to fix the truck cuts into his incoming income
Gas is going up too
Diesel too, everything including food is more expensive
yup, and when one is even close to being on a “fixed income” (I’m sort of on Fixed Plus) it’s a beeeeeeeeeyatch … I got and extra $10/month in Cost of Living Adj, but that’s offset by Utilities and Car Ins and Cell Phone all going up marginally (5-10 each_ … not to mention gas, and food, and pretty much anything else that’s “for sale”
Hey I got promoted in the new gig
4 years of good work and I got a 3 dollar Raise
I am quite happy, Now I just wish winter would end
w0000000000000000000000000000000000000000t! congratumacations, my friend!
yah, ready for spring …
ok, break time for the Old Hippie … catch all y’all laterz
Be safe
fucking awsome, now you can afford an avatar 🙂
I wish
I tried
But I could not figure it out
Though I did do my taxes online today through HR block
lots of unused skills with printer scanner pdf and importing stuff
would have been easier to get Cocaine through Miami……
mine is sideways, I gave up attempting to correct it many moons ago.
looks alright to me
I lean left normally 🙂

If I chose Obama as a pic would AG blow up?
In a tan suit?
probably
he wears a Tux very well
I think it would be a WONDERFUL experiment …
I wish I could figure out how to upload a pic
Feeding my old dog Peanut butter is pretty awesome
there’s your profile pic
could be
I would prefer my old Jackass pic with the hayseed hat
used to do that with the Bassett, put some globs under his jowels and laugh for an hour as he licked away
hahhahhahah
years and years ago, back in KC, young couple moved in next to my mom’s house … they had a basset, one ear was half missing (they got him that way)
so one day, he gets sick … lethargic, deathly ill looking (more so than usual, which basset’s look like it anyway) and throws up … take him to the vet: nothing, they can’t find anything wrong, he feels better, they take him home
all good for a coupla months, it happens again … to the vet, nothing …
finally the THIRD time it happens, the vet concludes the dog wants attention and is basically a hypochondriac
gotta love bassets
stubborn fuckers too.
yeah they is
He ate your stache and got sick….
OK. Why should you be on a fixed income when you’re perfectly capable of working
How old are you might I ask?
Old enough to have graduated from college and old enough to work every day for a living.
Old enough to pay taxes for people that don’t feel they need to work.
Been in that position for 36 years now, not to say I did not work for 10 years before that either
since I was almost 18 years old I have worked full time cept the 4 months total I spent working to get the next job
40 years
Yep I hear you. Been working since I was 14. My dad made me work in the summer time. Was good for me though.
agree
chores till he decided that he was going to open a pet store and I was unpaid employee
all good I learned retail and chose never to do that again
so far anyway
Seems like you should quit voting for more expensive living then.
there is a lot of slosh in the capitol markets though, the wealthy have driven some bitcoin crypto to 54K per from like 18K at the beginning of Covid
and mind y’all, I’m not whining … it is what it for LOT of people and a WHOLE lotta people got it FAR worse than me … by a longshot
but I have NO sympathy for the “ultra rich” … or even the “marginally” wealthy … I see stories about people whining because their family only makes a coupla hundred thou/yr … LOL! try getting by on 1k/mo
Reminds me of I don’t know how many movies
I hear ya, Brother … and them rigs are NOT inexpensive
I do have a solution, of sorts … moving in a coupla months to a small town 3 hrs SW of Denver, great support system and WILL be able to get SOME kind of a job when I get there, inexpensive rental (lucky as hell to find one) … it’s gonna be a complete “startover” and it IS gonna be awesome
one way or anther … gotta hang in there, Steve
I shall try to visit, got a buddy in Denver, that when covid hit I was planning to visit
will let you know
hope you can make it … someday, my brother, someday
literally moving a house in San Fran, at 1 mph … NINJA SPEED!

so slow you don’t notice it is moving……
pretttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttty much … so slow even I could keep up with it
love the engineer’s line about houses not doing well going downhill … he has a point
I wonder if a house on a haunted hill can move uphill just as well?
only on Halloween
My house cringes at Halloweeners too
I creak pretty much every morning, if that counts
Youv’e become your parents 🙂
long long ago
My 85 year old step-dad is still fighting the man
I think it keeps him thriving….
first thing I thought: Chubby Checker … love it all, pompano …. well done & did, fine sir!

I think Pomp had nothing to do with Chubby 🙂
oh the famous “editor’s note” that I duly spaced out on … tyvm, you win the interwebz reading award of the day
(that and a coupla bucks gets a cuppa joe)
finally got to watch The Martian … Neil told me it was good, he don’t lie
You just now saw The Martian? Don’t rush into anything old man 😁
2010 was an awesome movie!!!
right? on FX Movie Channel rotation for the weekend … also Hidden Figures (damned good flick, hell it’s only 5 yrs old)
Thought Hidden Figures was a great movie. Great title and appropriate. We’ve come a long way since then, but still a ways to go.
totally agree
I shall watch it if I come across it
Just did my taxes
Fingers crossed
seems sorta unfair to me to answer yes I did receive my 1st stimulus payment when I got 98 dollars out of 1200?
I figured there would be some sorta pro-ration formula
Tough day at Riviera yesterday
Ah, life is good in California when wind messing up your golf game is your biggest worry
As long as there’s no fires we’re good.
Yeah I hear that. How worried were you about the winter anomaly in Texas this month?
Was shocked honestly. Don’t remember seeing a winter storm shutdown an entire state. Prayed for the people there. Unfortunately some didn’t make it. 😥
Yeah, it was sad to see people suffer from something that happens once in a hundred years or so. What’s the explanation for electric blackouts every year in California during predictable conditions?
human incompetence?
Every single year?
climate changed, left unattended to, will kinda do that …
wow
If we had somehow burned the forests in Cali for the frozen people in Texas
we would have this thing fixed?
maybe transport the floodwaters in Louisiana to California to prevent the fires….
yer gonna need a really long hose
like that pipeline from North Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico?
oh sure … throw gasoline on a burning fire
Not anymore. Sad that people will go without because of that.
the rich people and those poor people that chased the rich people’s dream
Economics killed the Shale oil dream
and Saudi Arabia
the Crown Prince and the whole Kashaggi thing kind killed SA as well
Lol imagine comparing SA to AG
go without? without what, exactly? WHO will “go without” what??? and why?
The people who worked on that pipeline.
They got paid
but it was a stupid idea to begin with
But they lost their jobs. And why was it stupid to begin with? I feel like energy is important.
energy is important, but there are other kinds of energy … clean energy
besides, why is someone’s “Christian” religion more important than Sacred Native American sites? why is THEIR religion somehow LESS important? why are THEY somehow LESS important than those workers?
I don’t remember talking about “sacred sites”, so I’m noto sure why you’re getting worked up about that.
oh, I’m not allowed to bring up a valid conversational point? you are hereby disqualified …
Well, it’s more that nobody was talking about these “sacred sites” that you seem to be anchored on.
I lost my job at a newspaper that paid quite well
in the internet age Newspaper jobs became obsolete and I got fired
Should I feel sorry for others in my situation
Yes, but when National policy and market economic’s rule
Find a new job
That’s a totally fair point. Things are changing. We all have to adapt.
Yes Sir
old as I is now, I keep TRYING to find even a half decent part time anything, preferably one that doesn’t start early in the AM … it’s a sad “gig economy” and about the best out there is Door Dash shit (I sometimes Door Mosey, too old to “dash”) … course my car is 25 yrs old, and the more I use it the faster I need to fix stuff, and the doordash pays so little that … ok, I’m a stop now
to the top
what, they can’t get a job working on windmills or in the solar industry?
yanno, when I lost my teaching job to a piss poor inflationary economic clusterfuck in 2010 I was told by a whole shitload of wonderful libertarian crusaders at The Other Place (lord I miss Texas Chief) to basically SUCK IT UP and find another job and holy shit, ups, that’s the way it goes and the world doesn’t own you (me) a damned thing
so, ummmmmmmmmmmmmm … if that was true for me, and if it’s true for ANYONE, why isn’t it true for workers in the oil biz?
So because you couldn’t justify your job as a babysitter, you now want others to fail just because of spite? OK then.
LOL … that’s ridiculous on a prima facie basis
whatever, ain’t here to argue or debate … you have fun
I can’t even imagine having a mind as thin as to think that. Good for you.
That was mean Workingman
why you in such a bad mood today?
Humans are incompetent every single day
I feel like they’re smart enough to predict energy conditions one year after another.
you would think so
since they have been doing it for a long time
but greed and incompetence sorta go hand in hand
greed and “I don’t give a shit-ism” … $5,000 electric bill for 3 days, what EVER
What does greed have to do with it?
follow the money (in Texas … and most places)
I saw those $19k bills. I assume those will be rescinded.
like the Covid medical bills?
what … humans can’t be both brilliant AND incompetent at the same time? stop limiting what out species can accomplish, man …
$$ same as everywhere..
and since the love of money is the root of all evil, and the number 666 is SUPPOSEDLY equated with evil, then the square root of 666, approximately 25.8069758011 is theoretically equal to the the love of money (it’s MATH!)
Droughts, extended fire seasons, and half the time stupidity. All it takes is a spark at the wrong time and poof, you got yourself a wild fire. Plus utility companies not investing money appropriated for upgrades to the grid.
I hear you. But it seems like rolling blackouts wouldn’t need to be a thing because it’s so predictable. Why do you guys continue to submit to that nonsense?
We all a bunch of wicked out liberals too busy protecting Nats in Death Valley to worry about the forests.
you’re beautiful, man! 🙂
Gnats?
or Natti Lite Beer?
That doesn’t seem like an answer.
hey, stop being unkind to my friend … that sounds like “hate speech” and I might have to report you to the authorities (wink wink nod nod)
No, I asked a question, and I think an answer is appropriate.
appropriate? it’s Sunday afternoon in the middle of Feb and you want APPROPRIATE?
ok, now I know he’s trolling …
You’ll notice nobody (you or pam) has bothered to answer the simple question.
Sorry WMD, got in trouble with girly friend had to put away phone. I’m sure this will come up again
actually sounds like NC now
Who demands an answer on a sports web site?
hate to say it, but I have little sympathy for those who choose to live in what some of us in Colorado (and elsewhere, no doubt) call Stupid Zones … ie, remote areas that are prone to fires, and then want everyone else’s money and help for CHOOSING to do something “stupid”
now, I get it: some people don’t have a choice, some have been in places for so long it’s unrealistic to expect them to move and obviously many can’t (economics, etc etc ad nauseum)
but those who CHOOSE to spend a coupla few million to deliberately live in a place that they know full well is likely to burn to the ground is just plain irresponsible (IMO)
NOW! look at Texas … they COULD have winterized the whole damned state for a coupla billion back in the day … instead it’s NOW! gonna cost a good 20 billion in insurance claims (and guess who pays more insurance? ALL of us!) and that’s JUST for Texas … so yeah, thanks ERCOT
Patrick just had a baby….🥳🥳🥳
cool!!!!
Congrats to the Mahomes!!
that is clearly an impossibility …
… his wife, OTOH …
you would think that the main stream sports media would acknowledge the birth of the Ones’ first child?
Monday’s child is fair of face Tuesday’s child is full of grace Wednesday’s child is full of woe Thursday’s child has far to go Friday’s child is loving and giving Saturday’s child works for its living And a child that’s born on the Sabbath day Is fair and wise and good and gay.
Wow I was born on Sunday also 🙂
so … YOU’RE gay?
(you know I had to)
I know!!
I googled the poem and my birthday
far more ambitious than yours truly …
well we have more important things to do
I am on fire
Daytona road race
izzat today?
The Daytona 500 was last week
This week half super speedway and half road course
on Fox
right, I knew that … ok, I didn’t but cool … enjoy it
“oh Rapid Roy the stock car boy, he’s too much to believe … you know always got a pack of cigarettes rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve”
I miss Jim Croce
Yep
He wrote some music that just penetrated your soul
Operator
for sure
yes and yes … and Time in a Bottle and Photographs & Memories
I think I popped out on a Tuesday …
Re-read the terms of service of this website. This type of language is unacceptable.
oh yeah, sposed to be LGBT andt his is where I get completely lost, way too many letters and not even in alphabetical order (I mean, what’s up with that, anyway?)
I’m not sure how “born on Sunday” led you to “YOU’RE GAY” but that’s the end of that
was the poem referenced
can anyone read 🙂
hey, I got ONE right 😉
So we have to decide if language means something or if it doesn’t
hahahhahhahhah
AG shall now use Swahili as the official language
What is hate speech?
not here?
Well, I think what I’ve seen here can certainly be categorized as hate speech. In fact, it’s already been reported to the proper authorities.
what are you refering too?
PS – he’s trolling us, play along
most excellent, thank you for your prompt attention!
and THAT, folks, is how AG operates … gotta love it! 🙂
I will be ruling as leftists prefer, which means anything that can be construed as hateful will be considered as such
works for me … course, I can make a rule, too (cheesey grin)
I’m super offended by your speech today. I demand an apology.
it’s in the mail with the BBQ that gonzaga sent me a few weeks ago (honest!)
is it speech that incites hate? it it speech that defines hates? is it speech that everyone hates?
I’m gonna need a new Rosetta Stone … does the interwebz have a Swahili to English translator?
a Smile
does wonders
funny you mention a smile … I just left one for WMD
fair and wise and good and gay
I do know for a fact that steve is all of the first three of these … he’s also been a personal friend since … hell, a whole long time ago (except for that time he almost killed me on the to some BBQ place on SW Blvd)
Rosedale’s
I was more worried about the joint on Blue Parkway
the linoleum tile was from the 50’s I swear
o-yay o-yay you are absolved
Going down to Rosedale
Take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale

You can still barrelhouse, baby
On the riverside
Hey, we’ve known each other for a minute as well. I’m just trying to establish a baseline here. Language matters.
It definitely does
I consider AG and before that AP a bar
We all know when someone is out of line, cause we know each other to some extant
just like in a Bar
I’m STILL waiting for my beer …
Sorry I drank it watching the Race 🙂
your absolvement in my previous near death experience has been rescinded
it’s been up on ENTERTAINMENT media … People dot COM E! Online dot COM Y! Yahoo Entertainment dot COM and Bleacher Report dot COM for a day (as per google search on “patrick mahomes”)
my damn information Silo does not include any of those…..
Not a Rod Stewart fan, but this is a great song
for pompano
watch the other people 🙂
Be patient, gets really good about a third of the way through.
This song goes through several interesting movements, including a really neat double (or triple!)-tracked vocal and some cool instrumentation.
Excuse me while I kiss the Skye!
wear a mask!
