    Great set today. OGC!
    The last one reminded me of Oktoberfest in Munich - and not a political statement mentioned all night! Of course, by the end of the night there was not much being mentioned!
    And a great ending meme....

    Save for the very last 'un, me an old dino never ever imagined seeing such outlandishly absurd meme content in what were called "editorial cartoons" when in college earning a journalism degree that during the early Seventies. That only led to a seven-year career.
    That's when I got a job I didn't like so I could afford to start a family. That one lasted 21 years cuz I got good at it. Thank you, Jimmy Carter, for your wimpy "malaise speech" of 1979.
    As for that very last meme, I do believe seeing women dressed that way at a New York World's Fair German Beer Garden kinda place a decade or so earlier. Women were freer from libtards throwing women's lib fits (their "lib" ever equaled freedom?) over such costumes back when Zsa Zsa Gabor was a queen of Venus in some drive-in flick.
    Hey, do they still have drive-ins anywhere anymore?

        Thanks. I coulda done this myself if asking that question wasn't a drowsy thought I when I just plain needed to be in bed.
        Thanks anyhow! I see there's still one in Dothan where I grew up and took dates, double dates any number of four younger brothers and even three or four carloads of guys I vaguely recall. What's left is not the Skyview or the Goober (Houston County has rich red soil for peanuts and even a Peanut Festival with a fair and a Saturday parade) or located anywhere near it. There is also one in Leeds way on the other side of Birmingham where I now live thereabouts.
        Haven't been in a drive-in since 1969 and perhaps since I first saw Once Upon A Time In The West there~~a hard to forget movie. Think the last time I was in a Birmingham area seated theater was during the late1980s and can't recall what I last saw.,

          A drowsy thought?

          Sounds like what happens during the second movie at the drive-in.

          And during about 95% of movies available for streaming these days, that are almost all crap.

            Drowsy is also what starts to happen to my memory now that my 80th birthday awaits within the midst of this coming month of March.
            As for movies turning to crap, I've also noticed that crap also defines what passes for the current hit songs.
            I've got a music channel on TV I used to enjoy. Bland! Bland! Bland! So bland I can't stick around for a full minute.

              I started listening to 60,70,80,music on youtube, lots of audiophile stuff too, (caution, AI is all over the place, it wasn't too bad, kind of catchy but gets old real quick).
              The live band stuff and as recorded in the olden days SUCKS. I tend to stick to Steely Day, Pink Floyd, Alman Brothers etc . . . .

              The new Mini Cooper is a great place to listen and drive. She has a Harman Kardon system.

        Drive-ins. Whoa. What Memories. We snuck behind one to watch Porkies as we were not old enough. LOL.

        I still remember those Metal Speakers you hung on the window/door. Later replaced with local radio signals. Much better in the winter. You did not have to open your window, got to keep the car "warm", nowadays more like running the A/C, which we never had until the came FREE with the cars, LOL.

        I saw GREASE at the drive-in. The parents would take me for free. I would watch the first movie, and then fall asleep, and they would watch the second movie, and then drive home.

        Thanks for bringing back the good memories.

      The town of Southington Connecticut still has an Operating Drive in Theater, It's a big thing! If my wife ever gets better, I'd like to go one evening, It's around where I used to live but its an hour or so from the shoreline where I live now.

        I just checked and there's still one operating drive-in theater in the Kansas City area. Having lived here for over 50 years, I haven't been to a movie there yet. At only 83, there's plenty more opportunities to take advantage of it. It's $15 a head and while they do have some concessions, you are allowed to bring your own. They're using a 4K projection system.

    Grumpy old they\them. They have winter coats on. Since they hate the United States so much, we should send them on a nice trip to Siberia. Rosie’s in Ireland, so she’s almost there.
