You got me pegged, and I hate being pegged! OUCH!

And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big, loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling’ on about how I can’t sing
But all you are is mean

If those are lyrics from one of her songs, she means one.

And? So? We'd cover our lunchboxes in Chiquita banana stickers, punctuated by the occasional red Dole sticky. That's not at all an unusual amusement for the kids in us.

See? You're unique... like everybody else.

Naw dude. My Peachee was covered in Rat Fink stickers with doodles in between. The problem was my art teacher never looked at my doodles and declared, "An undiscovered genius artist!" It was always, "WTH are those?" So much for my dreams of being the next Dali.

Rat Fink stickers

You just aged yourself, man! Uh. As did I. Shit.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I have no idea what you mean by Rat Fink!

I am old enough it didn't even occur to me these are aging us.

Just the KC Chiefs? I'd argue that encompasses the entire NFL, the NBA, MLB or any major sport. Major sport athletes are a protected class, just like celebrities or the rich. They can get away with shit the rest of us would pay dearly for. Just look at some of the things top college athletes do and get away with.

And if Taylor is supporting the bad parts of the Chiefs by supporting her boyfriend, who is on the team, then every NFL fan is doing the same by supporting their team, because there isn't a team in the NFL that doesn't have a bad seed.

As far as Taylor goes, I'm not a fan, nor do I listen to her music, but like other genres of music I don't cotton to, as long as I don't have to listen to it I'm fine. Many must like it though from the money she drags in from sales. It's interesting that once in a while you have a celebrity that elicits a black or white reaction from people. She's one of those. The majority either love her or hate her. And both factions are VERY vocal about their choice. Come to think of it, maybe it isn't just Taylor but a sign of the times.

The thuggery is getting a lot worse because the money in the NCAA and NFL is all that matters. I'd say the Chiefs have been the worst national felon league team the last few years per number but no one can top the Browns signing serial rapist Watson to a 230 million dollar deal, and karma has bitten them big time.

Now that they're paying them in college the criminals and entitled divas will increase. But the NFL has been rigged since legalized gambling anyway so its not like they care about anything else.

April, come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June, she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night

July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September, I remember
A love once new has now grown old

Remember The Graduate? It was on the soundtrack. Only forty-seven years ago.

Somewhat off-topic, but that's when Chrysler used to be an important car company, not a vestige buried in a weird conglomerate of marginal brands. Who even buys Dodges now?

 

[MillieDynamite]

Duck Dodger in the Twenty Fifth Century, that's who!

That’s the Twenty Fifth “and a half” Century.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Oh, yeah, been a bit since I saw it.

That’s the Twenty Fifth “and a half” Century.

A few people. Like this one: Dodge Hellcat SRT can have up to 807 HP
Or the legendary work truck with the best diesel motor (Cummins 6.7 L) in the industry under the hood: Dodge Ram 3500 6.7 L Cummins

I'm actually a Ford brand guy, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and admit your favorite brand has been outclassed.

Back in the days of Ratfink, the three major US brands were neck and neck though. Chevy's 427 against Ford's 427 and 429 and Dodge with it's 440 magnum - and 426 Hemi. There is nothing like standing close to the starting line as a couple of those bad boys rattle your teeth with a smokin' screamin' launch into the 1/4 mile. Between the drag races and rock concerts, there is a very good reason a lot of my generation are hearing challenged.

You're just looking for excuses to use that picture now, aren't you?

Also, the water marks on the picture make it look like she has a nose ring.

Kinda - it’s too adorable

Now you say it…

 

[MrPixel]

How did we get onto cars?

Opening the doors and stepping in like we always did. Oh. "Onto", not "into".

As far as I'm concerned, she can use it whenever she wants
