GA Russell

Very sad news. RIP. He was a very solid contributor.

You don't have to be in shape to bowl. It's the only sport where you signal for a cocktail waitress.

Have you ever noticed that if you leave laundry in the hamper long enough, it's ready to wear again?

Models have such skinny bodies, their heads look big. The high fashion look they're going for is the Pez dispenser.

I lost my job at a cemetery because I used to practice ventriloquism at the funerals.

Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.

I like to watch TV with my neighbors. They have cable and a big screen TV, and I have binoculars.

Thanks, Larry! For all the references I've seen to trad jazz, I gather that it was a bigger deal in England than in the US. Is that right?

I come from a small town whose population never changes. Each time a woman gets pregnant, someone leaves town.

Bill, et al., can you please name some American musicians who were called trad? In the '60s I heard the term "progressive jazz" quite a bit. It was only later that I saw it linked primarily to Kenton.

Who or what is Cardinal Spelling? I remember Cardinal Spellman of New York.

Should I know who the last two are?

I finally have a dental plan. I chew on the other side.

I go running when I have to. When the ice cream truck is doing forty.

Bertrand, it is silver, and does not appear to be a CD-R to me. Is there a way to tell other than the color? Perhaps I should not have said that all the rock songs were hits. But I was familiar with most of the artists.

This was my first Ponty album, and still my favorite.

Did you hear about the Newfie who was killed while ice fishing? He got run over by the zamboni.

When I was a boy I only had two friends, and they were imaginary. And they would only play with each other.

I went on a date recently, and I took her horseback riding. That was kind of fun until I ran out of quarters.

I saw yesterday that the Yankees will retire Paul O'Neill's number. Was he that good? https://nypost.com/2022/02/23/paul-oneill-stunned-yankees-are-retiring-his-number/

I wouldn't mind paying taxes, if I knew they were going to a friendly country.
