A pleasant image hides the grim & ugly truth about you & everybody like you.

Super Sunday

Dig the Wally Wood album cover. Bob Holiday played Supes in the 1966 Broadway musical "It's a Bird It's a Plane It's Superman".

Bob Holiday played the Man of Steel more times than any other actor: 19 previews and 129 performances on Broadway in 1966, plus revivals in both St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri in 1967.

During the run of "It's A Bird It's A Plane It's Superman" he fell one night when the shackle attached to his harness broke. He dropped six feet to the ground, bounced back up, turned to the audience, and said, 'That would have hurt any mortal man!'" The crowd erupted into a standing ovation.

Show Bidnis!!

Between Storms

Six Yrs. On

Six yrs. ago today the Rail Chief starter set arrived. A few days ago I finished the baseboard, & as I already had the track plan I figured I could nail it all down & start testing electric flow & derailments.

There are two phrases one hears often in model railroading. "It's your railroad, do what you want" (Who's going to stop anyone? The NMRA Police?) & "A model railroad is never finished." While the concept for this one is done, it can't get any bigger, & there's little space for more plastic crap from China, it won't actually be finished for some effin' time, as demonstrated by it taking Sunday, Monday, Tues. & part of Wednes. to get the track as intended & functional in relation to buildings & the like. Then I could start painting the track & painting & cutting cork for roadbed. Won't list everything else there is to do, but I have a reefer car & four buildings to build paint & cement together, & one building & two oil loading platforms to buy & assemble. Also, much of the rolling stock needs better wheels & couplers.

One good thing: W/ the changes & adjustments it turns out I have a turnout that works in a spot where I thought I'd need to blow US$30+ on a curved one from England. No idea what sort of tariffs are being idiotically imposed on goods from Britain above the list price.

I will need to buy a couple of turnouts for the Army camp that's going to be in the northwest section, & the nuclear power or poison gas plant needs plenty of work. (Piping & such. And, radiation trefoils or poison gas skulls & crossbones?)

Untitled (Globs)

I auto-corrected again & again, but I'm still not sure this is correct.

Do It, Don! I Dare You!

I've news for you, fantasizing four-eyed fruitcake: Donald "Lumpy" Trump is no Julius Cæsar.

Agony/Ecstasy

Still no Spectrum/Charter new equipment activation. (Two items below if you care, & why would you?) Tried everything several times, on the PC & the 'phone; the most informative thing I get is "We're having a problem, please call us", so I'll have to call a humanoid tomorrow. (Is it a human? Even the human "agents" all read from scripts, & ask fool questions you've probably already answered in your original complaint. "Yes, it's plugged in & all the little lights are flashing.") Couldn't call today, as I had to do stuff on the iNternet & so kept using Starry.

On the ecstasy side, on leaving the bunker I was surprised by a package at the door. W/ all the devil-box bullshit I'd forgotten there are two packages on their way, but one wasn't expected until tomorrow & the other by Friday. Today's early arrival is the replacement for this piece of plastic crap.

Where the "magic" happens.

No idea why I didn't get one on a stick long ago (pole adds $10-12 to the lamp price); saves space on the workbench/desk, lights more area, & can be moved to the railroad.

Under Pressure?

My heart pumps piss for him.

“President Trump is facing major tests of his power and influence this week, with elections that will offer a sense of voters’ moods, a battle over his tariffs at the Supreme Court and a government shutdown that keeps grinding on,” the New York Times reports.

Friday Freak Out

BOO, You Em-Effers!!

Still don't get "Happy Hallowe'en". Like Memorial Day, it's about the dead. Not generally a happy subject. (Not that there aren't those this reporter would like to see dead, dead, dead!!!)

Frightful Friday Filler

Before it was "Frankenstein".Think I may need an "Everything Is Stupid & Boring, I Hate It All & I'm Just 'Phoning This Crap In!" tag.

Old & In The Way

About (5:30) the President of the United States can be seen wandering aimlessly, then stopping & staring into space before being taken in hand by S. Korea's P.M., followed by his most recent "dancing" episode, which I'd missed. Is he boxing a kangaroo that only he can see?

Meanwhile, back in the States, his Nazi handlers are running everything. Into the ground. Whatever. I ran out of sympathy & empathy about 20 yrs. ago. Serves you right to suffer.
