‘And really, that song?’: Celine Dion rebukes Trump for unauthorized use of Titanic tune

 

This sounds wonderfully authentic on my compromised computer speaker. It has the same sound quality as the single dash speaker in my '63 Wagoneer.

 

I never knew, until now, that Jane Mansfield was a talented violinist.

Nor that she was actress, Mariska Hargitay's mother.

 

Yup. I caved in a gas tank on a motorcycle with one and broke a kids leg with another.
He was our moving target, and we were using 4' steel rods to skewer green apples and launch them at him with the flexible rods. They packed a wallop!
4' steel rods at him.

 

Am glad I wasn't one of your playmates...I'd rather chomp on an apple than chuck an apple..

But having said that, a schoolmate threw a mushy apple at me and hit me in the back one lunchtime in junior highschool; he was short, wiry, and fast on his feet. While I was taller and lanky, with endurance and determination, and ANGRY. He dodged and darted, evading me for a while, but I never lost sight of him. He eventually lost puff, and I caught up with him, all while the other kids looked on. I took the apple that he had thrown at me and I rubbed it in his face and in his hair...we neither liked each other, nor hated each other after that, but he never bothered me again, nor was I bothered by any of the other kids in that schoolyard who witnessed the pursuit and its conclusion.

 

I love the 'Wah Wah' gal (the pistol ear rings were a nice touch), and it was nice that the usually overlooked percussionists got a few seconds of viewing time..(especially the wood clapper)

Kudos to the guy dangling from the rope for the whole performance...apparently he had nothing better to do than hang about.
