From the way back machine

 Via friend and commenter JeffS. Do y'all remember these?


There was a period of a couple of years when I and my two best friends would go to McDonald's late Sunday morning/early afternoon practically every week to eat some burgers and fries after a long Saturday night of, er, Bible study or some such, and I remember these ashtrays. Overall, I spent more time in Burger Kings, however, but they had ashtrays, too.

I used to think of the 1970s as a low, tacky sort of decade, and I guess it was, but now that I'm approaching my dotage, I find that I have a lot of good memories from that time.

Impatience is not a virtue, especially if you're on the bomb squad.



Don't you hate it when somebody drops in unexpectedly?

Whoops! Secret's out.

Gettin' the raspberries.

So, is that a plank in her platform?

"Michigan Democrat Candidate Fantasizes About Hurling Beers At Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh".

Actually, based on the way those two justices have voted on occasion, I've been tempted to throw something at them, too; but then, I'm not running for office.

Wheels within wheels

"Brown University shooting suspect dies of self-inflicted gunshot, police also link him to MIT murder".
