Every sunday I watch episodes of old batman and superman because I don't have cable and milwaukee has a classic tv channel that I suck in through antenna. It's funny how such simple show entertained people without the special effects and nudity of today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tycbD6xou8M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3FU0ITChE 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.

I love Me TV, Me Too and another classic station in my area.  Everything from the Honeymooners to Married with Children.  And yes, they even play Mork and Mindy on Sundays. It's also cool to get into shows that I've never seen before like the Rifleman. I'm also a cartoon fanatic.  Cartoon network used to be great and was the main reason I got satellite 15 years ago.  It went down the crapper so I got an extended package that included Boomerang which was great for a few years and then it tanked.  When they did play classics they were all butchered.  Sorry but the housekeeper on Tom and Jerry did NOT have an Irish accent back in the day and I want to see Bugs play head games with Yosemite Sam by doing his stepin fetchit routine!  Also no more Speedy Gonzales...don't want to hurt any feelings so ban every episode.  Canceled my satellite service last summer and haven't missed it for a second. Seems that everything is on DVDs these days and dirt cheap.  Recently added a box set of 600 classic cartoons from about 1919 to the 1960s, Pink Panther and Danger Mouse box sets with every episode ever made.  Also working on the old Hanna Barbera collection.  Good stuff!

WAY back then, we folks also had something the younger generations seem to have never discovered, it was call 'attention span'. For all you 'youngsters' out there, Attention Span is a mythical term meaning the ability to stay focused on something for longer than 15 seconds without further stimulation. Jump cuts in video were not yet invented, and TV dramas actually told stories with actors speaking in greater than 3 second shots on camera. A stunningly simple concept, long gone. 2003 Ural Tourist - 80,245kms to date 1982 Honda GL500 Interstate 12,800 miles since 05/30/07 "Down the highway of life at smiles per hour, with special attention to ignorant and blind cagers"    Report

They were actually RIGHT about lard, mostly monounsaturated, which is healthier than saturated fat.  It's now known to be better than the synthetic substitute shortenings.   Seems like a better way to get your daily vitamins than today. I won't touch this one with a 9 inch pole. The old timers were simple, all they needed was a nice bowl of lard washed down with vitamin beer, a couple tape worms to aid digestion, a nice smooth fag followed by a cigarette and douche. 1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.
