Muncle did Gramps tell you all about the Cheesecake pictures he had? Did he show you the Pinup pictures he saved of Betty Grable when he was a young boy?

Rok, I remember those days. My windows were always clean.

I remember being told never let them check your oil, because some attendants wore a ring with a gadget on the underside that could cut through a belt on the car.

Went to get gas the other day and we decided to get $5.00 worth of gas - so that we could get to a less expensive gas station. Then realized that would only get us a little more than a gallon of gas.

Yep, Mr. Muncle, one in the same! How did I know you were an Imus fan? Me tooooo! Sure do miss that show. I would wake up every morning at 3am so I could see it in L.A. --Now that's an addiction.

Smart man, Imus is, too bad he sometimes spoke before thinking what he was saying!

I used to trap the MSNBC simulcast of his show every morning and then watch it after work. Even though half his guests were certified commies, especially the Newsweek and NY Times crew, I generally enjoyed them and learned something. Loved Meachem's discussions of religion and any time Big & Rich were on.

His comment about the Rutgers women was downright stupid, no question, but I thought the reaction grossly overstated. It was, to me, especially appalling to see all the politicos and media types, who'd been feeding off of Imus for years, desert him. Guys like Harold Ford and David Gregory who'd been helped tremendously in their careers either disappeared or couldn't wait to knife him. The Newsweek crew was abysmal. They and others who'd appeared regularly for years couldn't wait to reveal that secretly they'd been disgusted with Imus and had really been torn about being on his show. However, some politicians like Lieberman, McCain, & Dodd have stuck with him, as have Carville, Greenfield, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and, of course, Bo.

I'm glad he's back. I wish Comcast carried that C&W network that carries his show. I need my fix of Kinkie, Jack Jacobs, and the Higgins Clark girls.

Once in a while we still sometimes hear the expression television set. Why a set? After all, it's only one, not a set....

Chuck,

Corvair.

You just made me remember going to pick out a Christmas tree for my first married Christmas. I was so excited about finding a big, fat one that I thought would look perfect. I was so caught up in the moment -- until it was time to load the tree into that Corvair trunk and try to drive home. I don't even remember what happened then, but I think I cried.
