"Roy Rogers still exists--there's a couple on the PA turnpike." -Conservative Crank

When I lived in Little Rock in '72-'73, there was a RR on the "strip." This made me remember another fast food place I sometimes at, the Minuteman. So I looked it up/

http://bit.ly/minmanak

Links to The Encyclopedia of Ark. History & Culture. (Arkansas Culture... um... Let's all restrain ourselves here.)

Started in 1948 as a coffee shop, converted to a fast food chain, had up to 57 locations at its height, one place left in existence.

Had one of the first experimental "RadaRange" microwaves: "The most popular and publicized offering from these ovens was surely the Radar Deep Dish Pie, a sweet treat that many Arkansans remember for its tendency to burn the roof of one's mouth. Minute Man also sold 'real charcoal-broiled hamburgers' and offered a gourmet hamburger with a double full-sized meat patty and extras a full year before McDonald's debuted the Big Mac."

And their symbol was the Minuteman guy. I was still an ill-informed college kid then, but I liked that.

There ya go. Now I want a burger. Or a RB sandwich.

Good night, Gracies.

Did anyone else happen to see and click through the links at the end of the Olympics Wars video to the Cell Falls from Airplane one? ONT worthy conclusion.

That's probably my contribution for the night.

Stuttering Clusterflukes of a Miserable Failures, it's News!

Vic has been absent, so I'm newslink-deprived at an hour when I'm usually comfotably informed — it's like forgetting breakfast ... while having too many cups of coffee too quickly.

@Fenelon, did you ever get the corrected url from me yestermorn? What was that, end of the ONT?

Hey, y'all (or, ya'll for Gabe-ists)... #twoweeks

With this 1890's AoS commentware, you kinda haveta read everything, while on threaded sites, one can easily skip past whole conversations. If comments were threaded, do you think it would, how to say this, change the nature if the Horde?

Heh. That's funny.

Alas that such oxymorons have actually become common understanding!

"...they could not prevail since it appeared that the NYPD targeted individuals on account of terrorism prevention, not on account of their religion...."

(For those who skip the post, I'm quoting Gabe.)

Are judges allowed to make such a distinction?

In fact...

There are still judges capable of making such a distinction?!?

The only thing I understood in that post was the graphic at the end. The rest seemed to be a documentary on the wealth redistribution patterns of Peruvia or something, I couldn't tell.

Wealth redistribution by force — taxation for runaway social programs — reminds me of that wealth redistribution by fraud and bamboozlement that my grandfather wrote to my father about in 1934: "Don't gamble. It's not right to take the other fellah's money, and it's sure not right for him to take yours!" The latter part gets the appreciative chuckles, but the first part is just as true.

That's my 2¢ for the night.

Good night, Gracies.

Yes, friend Fenelon, I left the http:// off the URL. Try the nick on this one. *siiigh* Value v Effort ratio dropping fast.

As to the Problems, we each seem to get a unique set. I couldn't handle those of most other folks. I've discovered many folks couldn't handle mine (I mean, tolerate, not deal with).

"Be of good cheer" is one tough commandment, but a commandment is a commandment, whatcha gonna do?

*sigh* Last 1 sent autonomically. Should say link in nic. I think I'll go back to bed and try starting this day over.

Seriously, though, forty years of seeking God's will, begging to know and do God's will, trying to discipline the mind to accept God's will, whatever that might mean, but not yet having clue one what that will might mean for me, meanwhile everything good in life spirals out of control... it's a strange answer. I hope there'll be a good explanation.

If I live to hear it, that will be good enough.

In the original language, the author James uses words that identify God with a banker. -Fenelon Spokes

With a certain hesitation, following serious reverence with humor, I offer my sorta-related cartoon "Long-Term Investments." Just can't resist a hook like that.
