Kenny Rogers:

There was a Kenny Rogers rotisserie & fried chicken location very
briefly near where I worked in Memphis. It didn't last long.

Janet US, I know, right? I saw him very close up in a concert once years ago, and he was so good looking. Plastic surgery did nothing for him, he's unrecognizable. A few years ago I saw his picture in an add for a concert and thought, hey, they got the wrong pic, that's not Kenny Rogers!

What a worthless two posts. I thought usenet was about texting
and conversation. The two responses above don't say anything
except to demand a youtube watch. Sad, imo.

It's happening way too often too even in other newsgroups.
Just a link to something without a basic description of what they

Hey pal, 1998 called - they want their world back. Ha ha ha. The reality is that this is 2018 and the the world you live in is dead and gone. This ain't your granddaddy's Usenet.

OTOH, I am a kind and generous person so I'll spend some of my precious time to describe the videos just for you. The first one was of a hideously tanned Kenny Rodgers singing one of the First Edition's hit tunes. He looks rather feeble and oddly colored.

The second one was a scene from a hit TV series showing a man imagining a man's hideously tanned face on a roasted turkey. The man is frightened when the turkey-man speaks to him and waves his turkey wing. It is truly a horrible clip. It's just as well that you cannot see it.

Back in the day it was mostly academics, scientists, researchers, military, and government people that posted. It went downhill because these days, any Tom, Dick, and Harry, can post. Mostly, it's a forum for shut-ins, gossips, and bullies.

Back in the old days, I think those guys in the First Edition was hitting that powder but it wasn't Chile.

I think that parts of this was shot in New Mexico. Would this be correct?

I know their always lively chatrooms were a hoot until MS pulled the

Remember how the early Netscrape broswers came with a chat and
collaboration tool called Cool Talk?

Used to be fun to prank call some professionals at lunch hour and send
them cartoons.

;-)

Now smart phones have walkie talkie apps nationwide.

I used one called Zello, but when I logged in to some Toronto, Canada
channels it was all angry Muzzie talk.

Or at least they sounded angry to me.

That's the truth, I loved Chat 2.5, a politics chatroom, great! I hated when

I love actual books. The feel of a book in my hands. I read a lot of
books. I already read enough on the computer screen every week. When
it comes to reading books, I don't want to read it on a screen. Not
something backlit, glare resistent and has to be charged overnight.
Just give me a book. :)

I like you, too, Gary. But it was odd for you to challenge me about
where I store my grill or where I use it. Why would you care?

The thread was about vegans. My neighbor declared himself to be a
vegetarian going vegan when I mentioned not wanting to grill in the
snow. He did assume I'd be grilling meat. (Likely right, if I'd done
it, although I've certainly grilled vegetables many times.) The power
came back on so I was able to use the stovetop and oven. I do *not*
remember what I cooked.

OK, but I have read directions on how to do it many times and still haven't
been successful. I also bought an analog tv at a garage sale but no go with
that either, so I took it to the electronic recycle. :) I have just about
every original Nintendo game and also a newere Nintendo with the 3D game
capability, but I never could get into that except for Ocarina of Time. Same
with Atari, I used to love Breakout, but maybe someday I will have a
professional figure it out for me. :)

My recommendation is Best Buy's Geek Squad.

They will charge yes, but they will get it set up for you.

These "flashback" consoles come preloaded with all the games so your old

Respecting your elders is a good thing but complaining about the present is an old man's game. We cannot expect to fashion a world built upon old visions and ideas. If you must complain, complain about the past. The young will find that amusing. Complaining about the present is a most futile and stupid gesture.

The present is no gift unless we unwrap it and see what's inside.

Yes, but I have the cartridges and the consoles, so why not use them? I will
keep the Geek Squad in mind, they did set up the computers and did a good
job.

That's a bit of a generalisation don't you think?

[Caída de la casa]

It's a core value even older than the Bible.

It is. Very much so.

It is nice to think that elders deserve respect. In many cases they do not.

[Bryce]

I think everybody deserves respect until proof of the contrary.

[Dave Smith]

Some can betray that trust pretty quickly. I think that the assumption
about elders is that they have earned it. IMO, it takes more than just
being old to earn respect.

Yes, a nasty person who grows old, just becomes an old nasty person.

[Caída de la casa]

Same holds for ex-trucker bullies.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I think everybody deserves courtesy until proof of the contrary.
Respect must be earned.

[Bryce]

Semantics.

[graham]

Then there's: "One must respect his/her religious beliefs!"
Bollocks!
Perhaps respect his/her right to believe but not the stupid, irrational
beliefs themselves.

[Dave Smith]

Yep.

My mental health professional has directed me to apologize to this
group at large and to Marty and Steven in specific for acting out
here. A change in my medications is being made to address a disorder I
have been experiencing this summer. I will be monitored, but I am no
longer allowed to engage in certain activities I previously have
enjoyed as they exacerbate my condition. I apologize for being
disruptive, in a better state of mind this was generally not an issue
for me.

[Caída de la casa]

A society which means test its elders will soon find they make other
plans than sharing their acumen and wisdom.

That won't be beneficial to anyone.

[Caída de la casa]

Not so.

But well past your trollish mentality.

[Caída de la casa]

Faith almost be definition exists outside the parameters of solid
reality, but that does not mean it's any more "irrational" than gravity
was before Newton's apple or ultraviolet light was prior to Ritter.

One has a right to believe in a flat earth too, but at least known
science can define that as "stupid".

Religion (s) don't all immediately conflict with reason or logic.

Religion came about because of our special ability to comprehend time and space. We innately know that there's a past and future and of our mortality. It is the logical product of our brain structure. Why not just complain about our brains?

Consider the alternative - living as the animals do. The dinosaurs reigned over this planet for over 150 million years. They never had religion. They also never had a Jimi Hendrix or made Fender Stratocasters. We might kill off our species at any time but if you ask me, we still got the better end of the deal. Amen!

[Bryce]

Atheism is also a belief.

[graham]

No! It's a lack of belief!

[Bryce]

It's a conviction about something we can only guess at, just like
religion.

[lucreti...@fl.it]

No, it's a sign of sanity :)

[graham]

That too!!!!!!

But, it usually doesn't take them long to get past that point :)

+1!

[Caída de la casa]

Nope, it is /belief/ in no diety existing, still a belief as the proof
is nebulous.

[Caída de la casa]

"sanity" =/ cynicism, shrew...

[Caída de la casa]

It would fall precisely nowhere on any professionally accepted sanity
testing regime.
