In a slight time bind here at 1541 … usually there’s a film and I’ve two films ready to go, “A” films too but time, time … given that there’s a long backlog of political for later until I run out of steam. What to do?

Ideally, I need a short of 30 mins feature or episode of something … looked about and found this below … er, not such a good idea, shall explain why. So, kept looking around, but that was using another 20 mins. Run what I have?

But, and this is a big butt, the reactor to the movie has no idea how to do a reaction vid. It’s all a huge circular frame of herself which keeps moving around the small screen, cutting off the action. Ok, yes, she’s cute but if you wanted to see any of the film itself within 35 mins or so … well let’s just say it’s fraught (with sommit, DAD) … vlogger she ain’t.

However, and this is a big however … I started watching Miss Annoying and then started to remember … she really was sweetly naive … and the naive tend to be literal, like babies. Now she’s either putting it on for effect or she really is back in childhood, sheltered upbringing, whatever.

And some of this movie is a bit risque. At one point, she says, “He’s so literal.” Er … that’s Airplane’s humour, love … that’s what they are … literal. But as it goes on and on, she really is literal herself and therein is the humour in this reaction vid … in her, not in Airplane itself. She loses punchlines all over the place. So:

 

Following on from yesterday’s “music”, Steely Dan also covered a Duke Ellington/Bubber Miley number which last time posted did not move our chaps all that much … of course, I might be entirely wrong. 😎

I might also have this quite wrong (😎) but judging by comments over some years, our chaps are not so crazy for the slower numbers … sorry me, here’s a slower number…

Let’s speed things up a bit to finish today’s offerings …

By the way, our Toodles has been on Beale Street. Think they were there for the dining.

A message I dropped under a snowscene in Russia was:

“Irini … let us enjoy our Tramvai “Zhelaniye” this Sunday.”

But what can the expression mean?

Transliterated, it means “tram of dreams”, “of wishes, hopes”, not so much “of desire”. I feel that about trams (or trolleybuses, streetcars) as a mode of transport … forever rattling and squeaking with reassurance through leafy tunnels or through nights of promise.

Trains are wunnerful too in their own way, when not at the mercy of stalkers or thugs (attackers of Iryna, Charles Bronson) but for me, the soul is stirred each time I’ve jumped on a tram, which seems also to be the case with Chris Isaak and drummer:

And then there is Moosh @mongsley:

And so to today’s main feature:

Two Oz friends might also be interested, though they’re from Syd-en-ai … @KobieThatcher @ellymelly .

Don’t wish to ruin the post and bring you down, dear reader, but did you notice the demographics throughout?

By the way, Chris Isaak makes reference to the N8 tram and “Chapel”. This is the tram connecting Chapel Street, a more upmarket inner-city shopping street … boutiques etc. … with the city centre … I had a place nearby for a few years … lovely route to town.

(0954) Well, there goes most of Sunday morning … posted the music 0538, crashed, just awoke … so that’s a solid four hours of sleep! Wow. Sad that at our age, we count that as a win … and no aching bones? (1050)

 

15. Think this was part of Andrew Torba’s article … on X

14. Students actually marching for a good cause for once

13. The university (college) games we played

I’m afraid I must admit to readers that I was at four tertiary institutions, graduated at two of em, kicked out of the other two … ended up professoring at a fifth. At one of em, the tutor decided to play a little game she’d devised … it was all about buying and selling, a la Monopoly, and I’m pleased or not to say that I was not arf bad at it.

However, certain things were noticeable. For a start, the girls, who were half the group roll, were over-represented among the “winners” still standing (don’t forget that this was a woke left game decades ago) and the “losers”, meaning those who refused to lie and cheat their mates out of their portion of the spoils, were overwhelmingly male … idea was that if they dropped below a certain “poverty line”, they were made to go into a “jail” and just sit there, twiddling thumbs.

I was still out there in the corridors and dealing rooms, with a tidy pile, was approached by one girl, I remember, who took me for a fellow headkicker and step-over-your-dead-grandmother type. Suddenly, I said, “Here,” and gave her all my chips. This was not unlike decades later during lockdown, as an unvaxxed Untermensch, whilst the later-to-die-in-droves Vaxxed were free to go anywhere, including to the cafe/canteen for sustenance.

It was an interesting game … give the lady tutor that. The girl I gave the chips to was utterly shocked and mystified … what was the trick? How had I gypped her? I hadn’t … I may have looked like a swindler type to many, too fast talking by arf, but I’d had enough of living like an animal of no morals, so I walked into jail before the stasi even got to me. It was rough in some ways in there but they left me alone after awhile … miserable, glaring sod I was … went into solitary … theory was that any in there would become a mental wreck, being a pariah, no one speaking to the poor sod.

You know where this is going … it was blessed relief, peaceful in my solitary cell, a bit open to the elements but otherwise fine.

11. Noticing a strange change at X

They seem to be giving blue ribbon Xers the facility to write lengthy blogposts such as this below … I’ve reposted a few so far, thinking hmmmm, they seem quite lengthy, these pieces. Nothing wrong with that of course, whilst we ordure-kickers get curtailed, reach-suppressed etc. … I’m fine with that … going to tell you a little tale in Sun 13.

4. DAD at 1266

This Sunday in France:

a) In 2017, the football club in this town in the Hauts-de-Seine department partially closed to curb the influence exerted by coaches with ties to the nearby Salafist mosque. A few years later, radical figures returned and now control of the club is abandoned to religious sectarianism.

b) On New Year’s Eve in Toulouse, a 21-year-old man was arrested and subsequently sentenced after using an impressive firework mortar, described as a “bazooka” approximately one meter long, in front of police officers.

c) Meulan-en-Yvelines (78): Laurent and his daughter Ève, whose skirt was deemed “too short,” were beaten by a couple dressed in Islamic clothing. Mohamed, on welfare, and his wife Cassandra, already known to the police, were convicted on appeal.

d) DAD loves graphs. There are plenty in this article; includinf, 61% of French people distrust the medias.

e) And, finally, for all those French born non-France lovers. Here is something that you can support. Today is the African Cup of Nations. It does not matter who will win, you can still riot in Paris, but not in the Champs-Elysees….
