Are you aware there are entire movies on YouTube? Most of them are old and probably no longer protected by copyright, but there are quite a few, including old naval warfare movies. (It’s true: if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, but they remain one of my guilty pleasures.) Of course, I’m sure you already know this, but why doesn’t anybody tell me these things?

You Tube used to set 10:00 minute limits on what you could upload. I have watched entire games on it as well. I tried to upload the 2008 Detroit Lion highlights, but all I got was a blank screen…Of course they were 0-16!
Ok, I lied….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJk_7s0XK8Q
I like the movie clips from the Nero Wolfe series that was produced for PBS.
If you mean Timothy Hutten and Maury Chaykin, that was on A&E. I am unaware of a PBS NERO WOLFE.
A convertible F-150, folks?

And I’m with Janis….HALF a second????

Wow! Welcome back to Village guys. The orphans are showing back up again!
Glad to see you again. Stay awhile.

Jimmy, look up the Private Snafu training cartoons made for the Army by Warner Brothers. They’re on YouTube. You can also find Ray Harryhausen’s fairy tales in stop-motion animation and early Willis O’Brien. Check out the Library of Congress site for film of the early Worlds Fair where McKinley was an attendee.
Neat ragtop.
Here is VIN 1FATP8UH9H5240871 Is number on paperwork.
It was VERY late when I left dealership last night so I probably hit wrong keys on phone.
I seem to not have copy of sticker in envelope with specs.
I was tired. And hungry. Ended up eating at home at midnight.
Slow cooker Cuban pork roast. Awesome and so tender. Just meat and a Slim fast meal in a bottle. Which I am having for breakfast but no pork roast.
You are correct Norm.
Here’s what the VIN pulls up on Google search: http://www.edwallacefordofhugo.com/2017-Ford-Mustang/New-Convertible/Hugo-OK/8307138/Details.aspx
Let’s see what we can do with this, Jackie…
1. Your Louisiana “Swamp Girl” heritage
2. A form of an expression, from a song by Bill Haley and the Comets, popular when you were a teen
3. Likely appropriate on the rear of an opposite-of-slow vehicle driven by you
4. Fits the Oklahoma rules for specialized plates
5. Is even available in “Sea Green” background color, if you’d like to go that far with the theme

Thanks Mark. So why the devil would they tell me Wichita when Hugo is where car is? Except I am close to Hugo?
Hugo is winter home of circus and cemetery is full of the circus entertainers Graves, interesting tombstones.
Mark you have almost encyclopedic knowledge of comics, movies, cartoons. Amazing.
Kuwl F150, Llee. Now I’m picturing a Ford Explorer ragtop.
Jimmy, no one told you because you didn’t ask. We watch old Edward Everett Horton movies, for example, that way. But I am sure you know about the YouTube videos of the cartoon strip The Norm by Michael Jantze. Sure is a time for experimentation.
Jackie, it is the opposite of Wichita! What did that man sell you???? But I have to say it sure is pretty if that’s the one! 🙂 Hope so!
My company makes the fuel injection tube for the Mustang that you bought. The engine has plenty of pep to it and the gas mileage will be pretty good for you.
I’ve watched several movies on YouTube. The most recent one was Frozen. My daughter wanted to show me a clip, but we ended up watching the whole movie.
“Half a second” reminds me of an old comedy routine (Elayne Boosler maybe) in which she says something like, “If I’m ever told I have only a few minutes to live, I want it to be the last 5 minutes of an NCAA Final Four championship game.”
They are fracking in my neighborhood and everything in house is clattering including dishes.
This is my first experience with fracking but I recognized what it was. No wonder people are upset.
Knew it wasn’t ammo base setting off bombs, too rhymtmic.
My problem with you tube is that mentally I’m back with the old youtube from it’s earliest days, and I just can’t hardly watch a full movie. I do have a clip marked of a Swede playing Sweet Georgia Brown using his tractor motor as percussion. That is the kind of stuffs that side tracks me.
And yes Llee I will take a convertible F150, a perfect truck.
Me too! I loved Trigger and I loved Old Blue (who was red) for 15 years. I planned to keep Trigger rest of my life.
I keep asking myself if this was end?
Back in the day, one of our customers made a convertible out of a Mark 8 that was so awesome. We actually had people who wanted z Lincoln convertibles and tried to make them look like one without cutting roofs off.
My older son and his wife are due shortly, to stay here overnight on the way home from visiting her folks in NW MN. So I was picking up some of the stuff that is scattered about the house. Came across some State of MN documents / Elaine’s BSN/RN, and a thank you note dating from late summer in the mid-’70s. Am overwhelmed with pride, gratitude, and love* [minor editing, but this woman was a good writer]:
A summer date, mid-’70s. Dear Ms. Aarrenn: I’ve enclosed a copy of the letter I sent to the hospital [admin.] today. But it simply does not go far enough in expressing my appreciation. Your honesty and openness with us seemed to be a natural outgrowth of your concern for the patient. Your success in gaining our confidence was such that, at moments of crisis within the family, the simple comment that “Nurse Aarrenn is there” was sufficient to calm us. And, by not only allowing but encouraging us to stay with Mom those last few hours, you succeeded in returning her to me as a person. I had not seen my mother for three years. The patient in rm. 310 [in the old hospital] was a stranger to me until I was able to be with her, alone, for a period of time. To talk to her, pray with her, just to be with her. I would not have believed that death could come so peacefully or be so sweet had I not been there to share her last few hours. Thank you for giving me that opportunity. The decision not to use any heroic measures is always a difficult one; being with Mom gave me the deepest conviction that it was right for her. Elaine, I thank you for being a damn fine nurse, and a dynamic lady! [signature]
*There is also the self-serving realization that, even before Elaine decided on nursing school, emb sure could pick ’em.
Peace,

I said I wasn’t going to mention death or dying for awhile, but I had to make an exception for these three.
