Well, this first one, in the
But here in the CR, in this collection of manic mannequins, maybe not . . .
I don’t know how well they sell clothes, but . . .
I just think they’re funny.
These sandwiches always get stuck in the machine.
The machine gives your money back, in the CR.
So you can press the same one and the second one will knock down the first one.
The second one may get stuck, then, or come down, too.

"Disneyland Dream" was made in the summer of 1956, shortly before the dawn of the Kennedy era. You can watch it on line at archive.org or on YouTube. Its narrative is simple. The young Barstow family of Wethersfield, Conn. — Robbins; his wife, Meg; and their three children aged 4 to 11 — enter a nationwide contest to win a free trip to Disneyland, then just a year old. The contest was sponsored by 3M, which asked contestants to submit imaginative encomiums to the wonders of its signature product. Danny, the 4-year-old, comes up with the winning testimonial, emblazoned on poster board: "I like 'Scotch' brand cellophane tape because when some things tear then I can just use it."
These just make me laugh a bit. Wish I had the $ to blow on one.
According to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, time slows down for something as it approaches the speed of light. So what does it mean if time seems to be going faster, as it does for me? Am I slowing down towards the speed of dark? This year has certainly flashed by at an alarming rate – like a dropout on an analogue videotape. My life, and my career in modern broadcast engineering, is a mere blip on the radar screen of eternity.
If years don’t last like they used to, then all the more effort should be made to record the significant events for posterity, lest these shrinking time units we call years disappear altogether in some kind of Einsteinian wormhole vortex black hole thingy.
So what should we record in our journals on the subject of “2010: the significant events and occur rences affecting television broadcast technologists”? Here follows my list.

It has always seemed to me, I blog, that the reason Old People crab about so cautiously and slowly, is that everything seems to be speeding past them in a blur, till the christmases are flying by like telephone poles on the freeway . . . especially the older I get . . . 8^) . . . so I think I have conceived what this author is experiencing without the same recognition, but I did like his concept of slowing down to the Speed of Dark.
I just think its funny.
Mrs was walking out of the Bila grocery store the other day . . . since it was our Anniversary Eve, she was loaded down a little bit, and the security guard for the apartment complex said something to her that she heard as “Tiskat Tasket” . . .
We worried it, but my colleague at work, my frequent interpreter of all things Czech, finally puzzled out, he must have been saying “Tetsky Tatsky” which means, “Heavy Basket” . . . he was asking her if she wanted help carrying it . . . 8^D . . . but she just said “Ne, Diky” and scurried up to the apartment.
Today at the Modigliani exhibit, the guard at the Entrance said something to her about her Tatsky, and instead of Freaking out she just showed her handbag to him to scan . . . . 8^D
But, like Ahoy from Ahoj, from the Czech via the Latin, Ad Honorem Jesu’, could A Tisket, A Tasket, be from the “Tetsky Tatsky”?
It’s all too, too droll to contemplate….
Search for Tisket, Tasket Ella Fitzgerald on YouTube for a hilarious rendition, from an Abbott and Costello movie, Ride “em Cowboy!.
the Flora Mall had these girls, in addition to the normal swarms of Sephoras (in Pink Wigs and danskins), and a half dozen other pairs doing different things . . . I wish I was quicker on the draw . . . having these lovely-but-hilarious girls shove trays full of Limonde Becherovka at you (you can't turn it down, can you?). just makes the holiday season that much more special for me, anyway...
the original proposition . . .
Cultural Differences Noticed at the G20 meeting in
The Canadian: Self-absorbed and disconnected from reality.
The American: Businesslike, unwilling to be distracted.
The French and the Italian: "LOOK AT THAT ASS!"
