70 years ago, a large group of American B-29 bombers flew over Tokyo and several other Japanese cities, unleashing firestorms that surpassed those created during other raids in German cities such as Dresden and Hamburg earlier in the year.
On March 10, 1945, U.S. B-29 bombers flew over Tokyo in the dead of night, dumping massive payloads of cluster bombs equipped with a then-recent invention: napalm. A fifth of Tokyo was left a smoldering expanse of charred bodies and rubble.
The Tokyo raid was the deadliest single air raid of any kind ever conducted. Well over er 100,000 people were killed that night and in the early morning hours of the next day.
RIP Alvin Lee
R.I.P. Alvin Lee – rock ON Brother! You will be MISSED!

Can’t abide grilled tuna, though. Not a fan of raw tuna.
Tuna straight out of the can is just fine, too.
It’s possible to make tuna salad without any dressing at all. I don’t make it that way unless I have a request for a sandwich made with no mayo. But it’s possible, with enough juicy ingredients: diced tomatoes, pickle relish, etc. to make a salad that will stick together well enough to spread on bread.
Can you imagine how nasty his chicken salad is with Kraft Salad Dressing? Or the tuna salad?

He’s so uncool he hates mayo .

There’s cool and then there’s crackers.

I’m not sure I understand why anyone would buy an Apple watch other than because it’s the latest thing. Why do you need an interface on your wrist to your iPhone that’s in your pocket?
Help me spread it around
#73 – Cool!!!!
Fuddie-duddies of the world unite!!!!
Joe Nick Patoski has made a documentary about Sir Doug Sahm.
Sneek peek here.
Thanks, Shannon!
Yes, yes I am!

Found on FB, the a-rabs respond to Netanyahu’s speech, and it aint pretty towards the jugeared jackass defiling the oval office.
Well spring is officially here, not 5 minutes ago I just saw a robin. There will be no more freezes this season.

Young nubiles?
What are you doing around young nubiles you old fuddie duddie?
My Timex is from their rugged Expedition series.
Makes the young nubiles think I’m the rugged, outdoorsy type and not a fuddie-duddie.
Dontcha think ?
I got a flip phone cell phone. Tha helps me retain my fuddy duddy status.
I have no cell phone
…you might just be a fuddie-duddie.
They do lifetime ‘free’ battery replacement for $5 at the time of purchase.
I refused to wear a watch for forty years. Bought one on a whim at the Timex Outlet Store on 290 about four years ago. Now I have an anxiety attack if I forget it.
Thanks a lot Timex.
My Disney had big yellow gloves.
My Mickey Mouse watch stopped running, but a new battery didn’t bring him back to life. I had an appointment where I needed to know the exact time — I have no cell phone — so I stopped at Target to buy a watch. That counter was busy and I needed to scoot, so I took an $8 (!!!) watch… Read more »
#s 50, 51, 52, 54 – Watches?
Geez wearing watches is SO 80s fuddy-duddy! 🙂
Oh, and I saw the greatest thing last night….I was making a late pass at Wal-Mart, getting a few groceries and topping off my tank with their cheap gas. There was a couple in front of me with a shopping cart filled to the brim with some shoes. “Someone is stocking up or reselling,” I commented. Nope. I was wrong.… Read more »
Okay, the language isn’t always so clean, but this page is funnn-neee.

~$100/litre at your favorite duty-free (if the Chinese didn’t take it all).
mmmmmmmmmmmm……..

Heh no fan boi watches for me. Perfectly happy with my $60 Wenger Swiss Army Watch bought at Sams club.
From 47: “Southern Comfort is a joy to be savored.”
Based on his tastes I would recommend one of those two gallon plastic bottles with the green plaid label for $9.99.
My Timex has hands.
I could have gone the $20 route but I refuse to wear a digital watch. I prefer a watch that young people don’t know how to read.
$20 ?
Man, I’m an absolute elitist with my $54 Timex.
The examples quoted by Volokh here are instructive to those unclear on the concept: 2. Likewise, speech doesn’t lose its constitutional protection just because it refers to violence — “You can hang him from a tree,” “the capitalists will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes,” “by any means necessary” with pictures of guns, “apostates… Read more »
Only a truly dedicated fanboi (***coff*** squack ***coff***) would pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a phone/watch/”health monitor” with a battery life of 3-7 hours.
One version sells for $15,000. I have a watch that has a battery life measured in years that cost me less that $20.
Pssst. Wagonburner.
A beginner gets the Scotch grapevine working.
And the esteemed Freedoms teacher fails to address the right of people of institutions to set policies and standards of conduct of which speech is part of.
there is no difference between a college (state run or otherwise) and this blog governing what can be said and the enforcement of those rules.
My bottom line is you have the right to say whatever you want, but people and entities have the right to shut you down if they wish if you are on their turf. There is no infringement on your Constitutional rights. Seems OU is well within its rights to shut the students up. From the OU Student handbook Prohibited Conduct… Read more »
Boney: City of Houston Extortion Alert I’ve mentioned this before. They hit up my MIL and some friends of ours who own multi-family apartment units for their occupancy permits, then followed up with a “Habitability Inspection”. If a property is cleared for occupancy, shouldn’t it be cleared for “habitability” also? It’s merely another way for the City to squeeze more… Read more »
#37 that’s pretty much exactly what I said yesterday.
Perhaps the misunderstanding of government control of free speech in this particular case is recognition of the fact that the OU campus is in fact public property. It is not privately owned and is just a public as a downtown street corner. I totally agree with you that free speech law was written to address abuses by our government toward… Read more »
Note to self.
Ignore Eugene Volokh.
Squawk is the REAL constitutional scholar on the internet.
El Gordo Eugene Volokh teaches free speech law, religious freedom law, church-state relations law, a First Amendment Amicus Brief Clinic, and tort law, at UCLA School of Law, where he has also often taught copyright law, criminal law, and a seminar on firearms regulation policy. And he commits a grievous error that is made in this country all the time………… Read more »
Funny how they don’t make fun of 67 year old Emmy Lou Harris. Maybe because she doesn’t run around in public in her underwear.
