Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitairre til dawn
With a deck of 51
Little Smokies, cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.

Gotta jump down spin around tote a pail of water
Gotta jump down spin around cook a pot of beans
Gotta spin around spin around
Jump down
Gotta jump down spin around cook a Mesa Greens

Lock upon the garden gate's a snail, that's what it is
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.

...and there's Big Rock Candy Mountain--Burl Ives and many artists since...

Likely nobody even my age remembers Wolverton Mountain even though it's been parodied out the wazzoo at the time, and most notably by El Clod's "Tijuana Border".

"One of these days I'm going to climb that mountain
Walk up there among the clouds
Where the cotton's high and the fields are gowing
And there ain't no fields to plow" via Walter Brennan, in "Old Rivers".

At this time I'll add a snippet of an Indigo Girls tune that made it to the big screen in 2023:

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions...
(Closer To Fine)

...and then mention an obscure song from the 50's / 60s that was the flip side of the Fess Parker hit, "Davy Crockett"...which I should have thought to mention when I posted to @50+ Music that there was a debate over what that was exactly. At MY house, the flip side was "The Ballad of John Coulter".

Sing of the bravest mountain man;
Sing of the strong and the fleet--
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet.





Taking second and third looks at #MeTV these days --every time I've flipped the channels this one's caught my eye and this time it's #WagonTrain and "The Horace Best Story" episode. The guy who was Festus in Gunsmoke here portrays a Native American entrepreneur who seeks a deal with the self-same Horace Best, portrayed by....WUT...WHO?? #GeorgeGobel of all people. On top of that, George is singing. Yow. "Go west with Horace Best". Yer dern tootin' I stayed tuned in to watch the rest of that.

MeTV is where I've been catching Alfred Hitchcock Presents, marginalia of which I recommend highly although Alfred doesn't hit it out of da park each time. When he does, tho, it's a doozy.




Reading glasses can't be shipped from Amazon to my state due to local laws or Amazon policy. I can not even imagine a set of circumstances that would explain this!



I don't think it's possible for this to be better than it is...


Sometime in your life, you might encounter an entitled insufferable controlling and abusive busybody, who has to intrude with overly judgmental accusations and deranged attempts to punish you over simple disagreements or nothing at all

There's a number of ways to deal with them

Some terrible, some ok...

Some spectacular:

@benroyce The thing I can think of is a little break of the 4th wall…. “You getting all this? Is my beard okay? Is it over the top? No? Okay, hold on…”. Then going back to wailing and writhing on the ground.

I love doing this sort of thing when kids are being bratty or overly entitled. 😀 Behaving like a total idiot is the best way to snap back to reality sometimes.

Yea, I can see a valid land swap betwixt Russia and Ukraine: Kursk in exchange for Crimea.
Yeah, that'll work.

I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
but I'm tryin' to be.
For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby,
I can win your love for me.

Don't know much about History,
don't know much Biology.
Don't know much about The Jungle Book
don't know much about the French I took...
