Annoyed at thread drift

[GaryS]

Back when I was much younger I knew a police officer who had an off beat sense of humor. (Much later I knew a lot of them!).

One day he walked into the station to find several officers struggling with a violent psych patient. The patient was ranting, raving, and making no sense.

My friend watched for a second and then yelled out, "Quick, restrain that man before someone puts stripes on him and makes him a sergeant."

Apparently the sergeant was not amused, as my friend spent the next several weeks as far out of town as the sergeant could send him.

And yes, I used that one a few times during my EMS career, replacing sergeant with supervisor.

Nut case joyrode a marked unit from a mental health ward in Miami about a 40 - 50 mile round trip, lights and sirens part of the way and returned it undamaged to the exact spot.

City of Miami is reviewing their policies.

What's for dinner?

A friend of mine is an avid hunter. The largest deer he ever took, he hit with his truck. When people asked him what he used to take the deer, he'd reply "A 318 Dakota".

Back when I was in the Boy Scouts, I was riding my Sears 5 speed bicycle to the scout meeting. I was hit by a speeding car and slammed into the back of a Volvo station wagon.
My bike took the shot but I didn't fare as well. Nothing broken. My knee got smashed open to the knee cap and one finger nearly torn off.
The chain was off on my bike but I could still lean on it and walk home leaving a trail of blood.
A coupla months later, I was all healed up.
Since then, I have a phobia about Volvo station wagons.

I'm thinking I need chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream.

[loknload]

I wonder if this one is jealous?

My nap was a complete success. I now have enough energy to get ready for bed.

Great art...borderline personalties. Here's The Sower by Van Gogh, ear-ily abnormal in his own right. I seem to gravitate toward solitary figures in a field. Freud would quite enjoy analyzing that...and Van Gogh for that matter.

One of the most evocative paintings I've ever seen was a small Van Gogh in the Armand Hammer traveling collection when it came to a museum here.

It was a monastery garden in a cold winter rain. It just riveted me as few things in that great collection did. I had to keep going back to its wonderful, bleak melancholy, sad but beautiful, with none of Van Gogh's vivid colors.

A good art therapist would have a field day evaluating my response to that weary little gem.

Dammit, bigride, you've provoked me to think, at midnight on a Saturday night.

 

[Babalooie]

I wonder what size engine is in Christine, a 318?

 

[bigride]

I am no expert but I seem to remember something about a 413 wedgehead hemi? A genuine expert will be along shortly to correct my poor recollection soon.

I have googled and found no confirmation of this. One site says it is either a 318 or 350 golden commando v8.

I must find this painting. Perhaps this one?

Here's another Van Gogh, A Lane of Poplars at Sunset...and another solitary figure.

Another darker offering from Van Gogh.

Bigride, a couple of books, if you haven't already read them:

The Private Lives of the Impressionists. Sue Roe

Sacre Bleu. Christopher Moore,
for a lighter look at the impressionist and their muse.

Moore is one of my favorite contemporary authors, and I think this book and his following book, Fool, are his best.

 

[boatme99]

Japanese woodblock prints by Hajime Namiki.

 

[boatme99]

And two by Kawase Hasui.

 

[boatme99]

Hmm, I've just reread Mr. Swifts A Modest Proposal, and am feeling a bit peckish.

I wonder what comestibles are on hand in the larder?

Looks like "Slut Shamming" to a Feminist.
Geoff
Who notes everything is offensive to a Feminist, except anarchy, Moslem takeover and Sharia Law, where women a bought and sold like cattle ! Who is confused by it all.

 

[BigCityChief]

Oh no! Is that Monday over the horizon?

I'm taking your lead SFN and having lunch now.

 

[soFlaNative]

I'm taking your lead SFN and having lunch now,

Despite your unfortunate mention of Monday, I'll join you.
By the time I nuke a bacon wrapped Ball Park Angus Beef dog it should be Beer:30 UTZ.

I like the way you think!
