Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

There are zillions of TV ads offering buy-one-get-one-free on merchandise. To get the second item, "You just have to pay a separate fee." Wonder how much that separate fee is. I'm just sayin'.
I called one of those for giggles. Actually to find out that very thing. It was a $49 gadget and the shipping and handling was $39.99. The second item was free but the shipping and handling was $79.98. I laughed at them and hung up.
 
If you're looking for something to do, go check out your old jeans Levis 501.
Some are quite valuable, but you probably wont get into the money on vintage 501's produce after 1971.
So how to determine the age of your jeans?....
There are lots of small things from the color of the stitching to how The Two Horse brand patch looks.
Do they have a capital “E” LEVI’S RED TAB?

If so, they are produced before 1971 when Levi’s adopted a new prominent design feature, in changing all the letters in Levi’s (except for “L”) to lower capital on the Red Tab.
The RED TAB from before 1971 is commonly referred to as the BIG E

I thought it was an interesting read, here is a link to the article :

Good luck, i might go to a second hand store to look around....
 
The republican candidate for state rep is going door to door in my neighborhood. She talked to me for a minute, gave me a brochure, it didn't mention once what political party she's in. Google her online, yup, Republican.

Uh huh, you seem like a nice enough person, but I think you know based on talking around the word 'Republican' you're barkin' up the wrong tree in suburban Massachusetts.

Dems running for office in Northern Michigan have to do the same :(

Here in o-HI-o they have a different bark. ;)

And I have raised dogs, that were trained to tree ani-mals such as raccoons, and of late I have retrained myself against bull-shit artist's and the like.
 
Maybe next time a Mass republican tries to get my vote, I can play along and test them to see if they're really a moderate.

Just come out and start talking about making America great again and see how extreme a right wing policy I can get them to take when they feel the person is on their side.
 
So, this is kind of weird, but it's really bothering me now. The Wikipedia page on Valerie Perrine says that she passed away from Parkinson's Desease on Thursday. Thing is, the given source is a YouTube video from 2017. I checked the most recent comments on it, nothing. I looked up the news online, and I couldn't find anything on her having died, and even her IMDb doesn't have a date of death listed. Huh.

That just seems like a waste of your time. Some of them enjoy drawing you into an argument.
 
I was listening to the Stooges song ‘Some With Sin’ and got a weird idea for a comedy.

Basically it’s set in hell with the premise that they used to only get sent the worst people, murderers and such, but then the church raised the bar to get into heaven so much they started getting people who smoked marijuana, had sex before marriage and things like that. The demons got so bored torturing these minor offenders, they created a section of hell for minor offenders to just kind of hang out and party so they could focus on torturing the killers and pedophiles.

The main cast would be:
A guy who’s just arriving after dying young.
His father, who also died young, who he remembers as being super strict but now just wants to be his drinking buddy.
A demon girl who likes to hang out with minor offending humans in her off hours.

It would work best as an animated series but having no industry connections whatsoever the only way to make it real is as a webcomic.
