So they can seize an large oil tanker, but not small boats suspected of drug trafficking?

If something weird was going to happen to someone, chances were good that it would happen to me.

One of the other kids threw a snowball, and somehow it went right in my mouth and got stuck in my throat. I couldn't breathe. Fortunately it started to melt, and eventually I was able to breathe. ☃️☃️☃️

That picture of the dog reminds me of something that happened to me in high school. We were let out of school early because it was snowing really hard, and on the way home we had an impromptu snowball fight.

Very odd album cover, but it was the 70s. Very good live album.

I see nothing in Yates's bio that gives me reason to think that she'd do a better job than Kamala Harris.

Yeah, he had all the information in 2020, when he was told that he lost. That's why January 6 happened.

Mostly for the chorus. A tad morbid, but hey, it's a crush!

I want her as U.S. attorney general—which is where I wanted her (instead of as VP) in 2020—so she can kick ass and take down all the crooks.

That's a gorgeous boy right there. I love Maine Coons.

It's the last song on their first album, which is very good. It felt completely out of step with the other songs, though.

Young me found this song pretty disturbing.

Now and then over the years he has performed with various members of Haircut One Hundred (legacy bands and all that), and I hear they're working in a new album. Something to look forward to, perhaps.

So he went solo, and in 1983 he released a really nice album titled "North of a Miracle," followed by a couple of others, and in the mid-1990s he released three albums that I really liked ("From Monday to Sunday," "Tangled," and "The Apple Bed"). Then he fell off the map for about 20 years.
