Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Cowardly Trump will run like Hell

 Wednesday.  Laundry day.  I will need to go to my local Giant supermarket to purchase some Hershey's chocolate syrup.  Chocolate milk, you know?  Love it.  When I was young teen living in Fairview Heights, (suburb of Lebanon, PA), my friends and I would sleep out a lot.  At least 2 or 3 times a week we would climb on our bicycles around 2 in the morning and ride to Wengert's Dairy where we each purchased a quart of freshly made chocolate milk.  That's right, from cow, to dairy, to belly.  I wonder what those night workers thought when 5 or 6 kids rang the doorbell that early in the morning to purchase chocolate milk.

I went to see Thor: Love and Thunder last evening.  I thought the film was good... with some reservations.  It was $5 cheap night, so the theater was full.  You do get to briefly see Chris Hemsworth's butt.  Part of the problem was that there were 2 storylines, one geared for adults, the other aimed at a much younger audience.  I was surprised that they said the word 'shitty' a lot, since Marvel Studios is owned by Disney.

It's not pixilated in the movie

And, of course, yesterday we had the January 6 committee reveal.  So many good things.  Ivanka danka perjuring herself was a tiny slice of delight.  Texts from Brad Pascale saying, "we lost a woman," and "it's the rhetoric," were nice shiny bobbles.  Trump sitting with the doors of the Oval Office open on the evening of January 5th so he could hear what he must have thought was his personal army?  That was a gem.  I had to laugh at Sidney Powell sucking down a Dr. Pepper, I wonder if she thought she'd get product placement revenue.  

The 'unhinged' meeting of December 18.  That that three people knew how to get into the White House to meet with Trump without going through official checkpoints in my mind indicates this was an inside job.  The Orange Anus was evidently expecting them.

I liked the tale of the rewriting of the speech, how words kept being taken out by his speech writers and how Trump kept adding them back in.  We even got to see Steve Miller, doing his best Igor impression, confirming they had been taken out of the speech.  I laughed at that.  Trump the loser has never stayed on point.  He has always ad-libbed.  His ego requires him to throw red meat to the angry mob.

And of course, the piece de resistance of the broadcast was that tiny bit of info that Trump tried to call a heretofore unnamed witness.  Woah.  Bad shit.  Witness tampering.  The DOJ is involved.  I'm more interested in the identity of this unnamed witness.  Hhhmmm.

Finally, I hate to disappoint many of you, but Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell.  For him, that would be the ultimate loss.  The instant an indictment is issue, he will run like Hell.  Sitting through a trial is something his ego will never permit to happen.  I'm betting he already has a plane fueled and ready to go waiting for him on the tarmac.

Over 12 miles on teeny weeny legs

Well, I went to see "Infinity War" last evening.  Some spoilers:  Chris Evans has a beard.  Thor gets a new eye.  One character says "no resurrections this time."  That's hokey pokey. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  I liked "Infinity War."  My only complaint might be the levity.  A lot of the drama was offset by comic relief.  There's is nothing wrong with savoring the juices of drama, I don't see a need to sweeten them up with a laugh - there are times when that sounds forced.  What some people... well, maybe a lot of people didn't seem to understand is that this was Part 1.  Part 2 gets released in 2019.  Oh, and there's a cliffhanger.... a really, really big cliffhanger.  If that ending troubles you, don't worry - everything works out in the end.  Believe me.  In fact if you watch the film carefully, and listen to what is said, you will understand just how Part 2's happy ending will be achieved.
In fact, the only problem I had during the movie was with my legs.  I rode over 12 miles yesterday.  My lactic acid levels were high.  About halfway through the film my right quads started to cramp up.  Have you ever had a cramp in your foot?  Well, that's what was happening in my right leg and believe me, it's difficult straightening out your leg in a movie seat.  And then, a few minutes after the right quads stop cramping... you guessed it, the left started up.  Luckily there was no one sitting to my left so I ended up stretching both legs in that direction.  What I should have done was go stand by the wall, but that would have meant going past the rest of the people in the row.  In a way, you could say I was suffering for Pop Art.
Oh, and I took a snap after the ride.


Holy shit!  Don't my shapely legs look teeny weeny?
