Well, you could definitely tell if he was dead or not then.

They seriously haven’t heard anything about the Utah chapter of Oathkeepers? I know that they exist because they ordered from the company where I work. They used their affiliation and even provided a list of names.

You work for a dildo company? Cool!

I had forgotten about this guy (you’d think since none of his end-times predictions regarding Obama ever came to fruition he’d pack it in, but nope, that’s not how religious weirdos work.)

Anyway. . . apparently he saw evidence of the End Times in the ABBA reunion from a few years ago.

Put a RFID card-like backpack on it and let him return home.

He was our mayor! Now he is the Congresscritter for my neighbors across the street. (Our side of the street got redistricted into an area that is on the other side of town.)

We have quite a few of those, even #22.

On the counter this evening:

I can’t explain it without spoiling it, but it’s amazing

I counted 20, including the heavy TV (that cabinet was too nice to dump). Maybe those old workhorse appliances, gadgets, and things I use/display to remind me what a knuckle-busting, arm-killing experience cooking and housework used to be are just unbelievable to younglings today.

If not for COVID, this might’ve inspired me to charge admission for tours. Didn’t that Ripley’s Believe It or Not! recently shut down in Atlantic City? :thinking: :moneybag:

I have over half of those things. Some of them were out of use 50 years ago, like that toaster from the 1920s. I guess my house now qualifies as a historic district!

I still have quite a few of those items!

The Art Deco dresser at #19 is probably from the 30s, and it is wonderful.

We have several Chinese teas in tins Ă  la #23, and none are 30+ years old.

#25 is a 35mm film canister. Damn, I miss shooting Tri-X.

We have a potato masher and big meat fork (one that’s used to steady the chunk o’ meat as it’s sliced) whose handles match @RickMycroft’s baking dish at #27. They weren’t anywhere new when I was little.
When we saw Killing Joke perform a few years ago, Geordie played a gold semi-hollow body whose pickguard/fingerplate has a similar pattern in gold on it.


I swear half the households in Yankistan during the 70s had dishes and/or serveware w/that pattern, and the other half had the blue pattern that matched @RickMycroft’s baking dish.

We have several of #30 floating around fulla DVDs.

We do have a peeler like #32.

Mom once had a #34-ish affair. She used it for decades, until it caught fire.

The washboard at #40 was archaic in the 60s, FFS!

The toaster at #46 was ancient 40 years ago! SMH
