Dr. Seuss question

[mfcf13]

PPS Mfc, sorry about the grandfolks. Glad they escaped hitler. Too many did not.

Quit with the evasive condescension you dumbfuck.

Try some accountability, like "It was dumb as fuck for me to equate a publisher's decision with a genocide. I won't say stupid shit like that again."

Here is an unpublished Dr. Suess about you:

"Snowflake time in Snowflake land"

"On a cold winter year, on a very cold night/
MTT and me clung to our privilege so white/
A publisher didn't want to print some crap/
Our supremacy challenged, it felt like slap/
Uncle Ben had always made me feel so safe/
Sorta like all the times Don Jr has jizzed on my face"

[Core Shot]

Wow. You really have a don jr jizz obsession.

Enjoy the bukkakke motherfucker

[mfcf13]

Is this the part where you get all snowflakey?

Listen turd, you worked "sucking politically correct dick" into Martin Niemoller's solemn poem: "At first they came for the Jews".
I'm just trying to use some references that might get through to you. You seem like a snowflake ass wipe.

Prove me wrong. Say something with accountability, along the lines of:
"It was dumb as fuck for me to equate a publisher's decision with a genocide. I won't say stupid shit like that again."

You seem to be missing the bigger picture.

At least your predicable. Winning hearts and minds

Just to bring this back to Seuss... Found out tonight the book we have was my Mother-in-law’s book as a child. Her Aunt was a school teacher and was able to buy discounted special edition books. She received the book when she was five, which would put it within a few years of first publication. This was Geisel’s first book published after being rejected many times.

This has gotten me to look at my other books, didn’t realize I’ve got a fair amount of cash stockpiled in them. I’ve long been a voracious reader and have bought a lot of hardcovers throughout the years. First editions of certain authors bring a pretty good premium nowadays.

The big picture is Republicans are the laughing stock of the US and the world for being intolerant

Just noticed a little difference between the newer version and older version.

I’m thinking the old one may be worth some cash, could only find two of them on the internet, both sold through auction houses.

I am sad to say that I can remember when moving watching boxes full of books going in the trash. I remember one time during a quick move seeing the kids books being thrown out. There was just no room. All the kids books my mother had read to us. Dr. Seuss, Charlettes Web. Other side of the Mountain. And many more. Do you remember when the encyclopedia set went out the door?

[wooley12]

I smell money.

Jump on selling them now and further build your stock market empire!

Heh, my wife is about this position. I’m about my kids having them. It’s already been decided when I die my daughter gets the books and the guns are equally distributed. When you’re poor this is what we call wealth building.

Byrne used to spend some time at CBGBs in the early 90s. Saw hike there a lot.

yea this was march 91. anne manguson worked byrne into one of her spoken bits. CB's had great shows but had the worst bathroom in nyc. played gigs there a bunch of times. the first time was summer and i wore flip flops for the ride down. then waded through the inches-deep pee-pond that surrounded the urinal. glad i'd gotten my shots

[Ottime]

Pepe Le Pew is next?
Aww snap
Speedy Gonzalez? Shit, that seemed racist 40 years ago.



PS. I’m not such a dick irl.

PPS Mfc, sorry about the grandfolks. Glad they escaped hitler. Too many did not.

I’d ride a lift with you. But I’m keeping my pants on.

And yeah Le Pew was creepy to me even as a kid. Gonzalez I loved and later learned what stereotypes were.

[Core Shot]

LePew was funny because he’s a skunk. And the poor female was a cat. He smells. She’s trying to escape.

In hindsight he’s too aggressive. But anyone that gets dating tips from a cartoon has issues.

I’ll ride a chair with ya. And yes, pants are mandatory. No skiing in jorts.

Alain Ducasse, owner/chef of Aux Lyonnais, one of his many Michelin starred restaurants, lamenting the loss of social life, esp around restaurants of course:

“When you get six people around a table in France for a good meal, the ritual starts,” said Mr. Ducasse. “You open a bottle of Champagne. Then you discuss what you are going to eat. Then you order, and when the food comes, you discuss what you are eating. Afterward, you discuss what you ate. And finally, you talk about what you will eat next week. People want to socialize over a bottle of good wine, to look at beautiful, well-dressed women, not to just sit at the kitchen table looking at their spouses.“Having a meal delivered to your kitchen is not life.”

The French really seem to be doubling down misogyny and cultural intolerance as a matter of national policy lately. At least they're being forthright about it?

When I was 19 I was on a ski trip to Val Thorens
A nice French couple skied with me and invited me to dinner. I get there the table is 30 feet long with very good looking french people all around the table. All kinds of food is being set out on the table. They are all sipping wine laughing and talking loud.
Then the guy at the head of the table throws some bread at someone. People start chucking food around the table. The really pretty french guy at the head of the table throws a nice round potato and it hits my shoulder. I picked it up and tossed it back at him. It line drives right into his forehead like right between the eyes. He stops laughing, turns red. He gets up from his chair and walks around the table stands behind me. At this point it really quiet. No one is laughing. I said to the lady next to me "It was a lucky shot I'm embarrassed". They start talking to each other in French. Then the dude puts his hands on my shoulders and squeezes a little bit. Says something nice and goes back to his seat at the head of the table.
Lady whispers to me in english he the one paying for all this.
Take away. Rich french people throw a hell of a dinner party.
They throw food I could never afford.
The food was very good.
They were talking about me. I think how I skied at the time and being from incline village got me a seat at the table.

Oh those French. A FB "Friend" who'd been the mayor of a small town in France posted a picture of a woman in a see-through Burka. Maurice, just be glad that you died when you did.

Reminds me of a Russian movie called Window to Paris which takes place in Moscow just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, when people are still desperately poor and crammed into communal apartments. A guy finds a secret window that takes him directly to Paris, where he enjoys prosperous life in the West. In the end he comes back to Moscow for good and says (I paraphrase)--"Here we sit around the kitchen table and discuss art, poetry, philosophy, politics. All they want to do in Paris is talk about food."

I watched a knowledge network thing showing life on a Russian factory ship and the American catcher boats in the bering sea, this was awhile back so the wall might have still been up

Down time the Russian were sitting around talking/ smoking cigerettes dressed in old looking clothes and it was all pretty bleak compared to the 3 americans in each catcher boat they were either playing pacman or watching movies and eating shitty craft dinner/ hamburger helper out of cardboard boxes, they just dragged the nets & handed them off when full never touching a fish
