This is my letter to the World
Real World Address
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

@PikRik, Smoke Wagon with a smokestack.
White on the bottom and black on the top. YEE-HAWWWW
Yubz the smell of burnin’ rubbah.
Glad you took on this series of commercials. I hate it when advertisers pretend that their commercials are unscripted when you know every scene was filmed 50 times before they got the product they were looking for.
G. B. Shaw: “The secret of success is honesty. Once you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”
George Burns said the same thing, only he said it was “sincerity” that you had to fake.
Hillary would have won, except she had a hard time faking honesty AND sincerity! 😉 No amount of rehearsal will overcome that, the phoniness just shines through.
I’d like to see the car that the outspoken gent did like, but I agree with his assessment of the one on display!
“I’d like to see the car that the outspoken gent did like”. F150. Dodge Ram Hemi. Silverado2500HD. Porsche 911. Kawasaki Ninja H2 (Oh wait…). etc…
