What a great episode! BTW,the best character in the Brady Bunch was Alice.
A few days after this episode, RFK announced that General Mills was replacing food dyes with natural coloring in cereal. Growing up in the 1950s, I don’t recall anything colorful my mother put into my cereal bowl. It was Raisin Bran, Cheerios, cornflakes, Special K, Grape nuts and shredded wheat. And all topped with white sugar and milk for that bottom-of-the-bowl deliciousness.
WRT College ID. I was 17 for my first few months of college. Back then the cut off to start school was Dec 1, so I wasn’t even the youngest in my class, or my dorm room. In NYS back then, the driver’s license was two parts, the front part had the description (Ht, Wt, etc) but the second part essentially your driving record, but still had DOB. A friend of my sister gave me the part B to his license (note none of these had photos back in the day). The first weekend at school when only Freshman were… Read more »
When they were talking about animal science and AI, I thought of the intro when Tom Lehrer said, “he practiced animal husbandry until he was caught.” About India: while most of the citizens may live in warm/hot areas, India does have cold areas in the northern area and the mountainous areas. STEM: at a company meeting, we had Adam Savage (from Myth Busters) speak. His point was that STEM is great but it should include creativity so arts should be added–so full STEAM ahead. He made some good points. Cap’n Crunch: I liked that cereal and never got the roof… Read more »
Even “STEM” schools are ‘old school’ now – “STEAM” is the current term, Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Math”.
I think they are still leaving out READING, so that would make these schools Math, Art, Science, Technology, Engineering and Reading or “MASTER” schools.
And that would be contrasted with today’s typical public schools teaching Socialism, Liberalism, Anarchy, Victimhood, and Entitlement. And these would be called _ _ _ _ _ schools??
Not schools. Indoctrination.
Maybe abuse.
My wife grew up not being able to get in the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets.
She is now 63 and anytime I go in to the kitchen after dinner and open the refrigerator of cabinet she says (loudly) What are you doing in the Refrigerator (or cabinet).
Old Habits DIE slowly
It’s funny that the US GDP under Biden grew about 3.7 Trillion over his 4 years and under Trump it grows 4.8 Trillion in the 1.5 years
When Scott started talking about the kid that didnt talk, I knew he was going use the line “Everything was fine up till now.” And my favorite lawyer joke is as follows, updated from Iraq to Iran: “Instead of dropping bombs on Iran, we have decided to drop lawyers on them. If that doesnt work, we will give them parachutes, and really mess them up.” This was in a lawyer joke book, in the office of a lawyer who was a relative. On a side note, he collected signed golf balls. His prize possesion was one signed by Donald Trump… Read more »
Ossoff D(GA) is a nothing-burger who the Dems have been pushing to be more visible, even as a possible presidential candidate, so they don’t all seem so crazy. But he’s a Jew, so he may have to take a back seat, just like Shapiro D(PA).
The discussion of cereals from childhood had me laughing harder than i”ve laughed in quite a while.
Corn Pops required oral surgery after two bowls!!!
My favorite and I laughed my ass off, too!
Grape nuts were the cruelest thing you could do to a grape!!
You had to have an extra half hour for breakfast to let grape nuts soak in milk to make them edible.
