It is with relish, a condiment fit for all dogs, that I call attention to a misattribution made by that cornichon of a pickle Gus Bodenheim of your station in a broadcast which aired on the 29th of April. In said broadcast, the subject of which I cannot recall which seems to the case with all of his ruminations, this Bodenheim character referred to a liquor, arrack, as being of Hungarian origin. Hah! Any one familiar with the noble and long-suffering Magyars of eastern Europe, or any on familiar with the exotic spirits of the world, would know that arrack is of Asian origin.

My local coffee shop is now a no-cash operation.....which now automatically adds on all the tax, plus the usual ATM-type asortment of tip otions....resulting in a 7 buck cup of coffee. So, I can quaff my fave latte while thinking about how stupid I must be.
I don't. Well, rarely. I know the guy. It's a cool place. Big stereo. MacIntosh amp. It used to be better back n the day when he'd have Syd Barrett cranked or something. Kiod of a dissolving scene. I can buy a weeks worth of coffee beans for the price of a few swanky coffees
yeah the place next door here raised the price of an americano to over 5 bucks recently. their drip coffee is still <4 but it's not that good!
...don't they know there're about 15 places to get a decent coffee within a mile?!
True there were only military serving in advisory roles but that was ramping up in numbers all through the early 1960s.
The US actually did have a draft going on from the late 1950s likely to keep the numbers up during a Cold War. Remember the light was yellow all through those years and conventional warfare was still a threat. The Selective Service System where everyone had to register was for draft purposes. A list.
Young men between 18-26 were being drafted all through those years.
Once the war in RVN got underway in '65, it was all poor kids getting drafted so that is why a lottery system was introduced, that was in '69. Draft went until 1973.
my father had my older brother and myself sit in front of the tele to watch a list of names scroll by for what seemed like an hour, to see if we were going to be drafted.
i drew or something but i think my brother watched. i don't know if either of us were slated but then the war ended.
i know my father was opposed to the war, but on the other hand he tended to live by "the law". i don't know what he might've done if we'd have been called.
My mom's younger brother went. It was a big deal, really divided the family.
I was just a kid, I remember it ending and then Watergate.

The princess of Sweden trained for defense of her country. What is this word conscription
yeah that... i saw that shit but didn't understand what was going on, when i was little. i thought war/no war was a general policy decision, not a specific event. i thought "no war is a better policy"!
- i guess because it existed since birth, in the Peter,Paul & Mary albums we sang along to since i was 3-4.
of course, now it actually applies. but it's so "clean", and the media is so thoroughly scripted and censored that the masses don't realize the us is constantly waging war/terrorizing other nations.

my father had my older brother and myself sit in front of the tele to watch a list of names scroll by for what seemed like an hour, to see if we were going to be drafted.i drew or something but i think my brother watched. i don't know if either of us were slated but then the war ended.
i know my father was opposed to the war, but on the other hand he tended to live by "the law". i don't know what he might've done if we'd have been called.

yeah that... i saw that shit but didn't understand what was going on, when i was little. i thought war/no war was a general policy decision, not a specific event. i thought "no war is a better policy"!- i guess because it existed since birth, in the Peter,Paul & Mary albums we sang along to since i was 3-4.
of course, now it actually applies. but it's so "clean", and the media is so thoroughly scripted and censored that the masses don't realize the us is constantly waging war/terrorizing other nations.
