“On the contrary.” If it was good enough for Bugs Bunny it’s good enough for me.
I love the Simon&Garfunkel song, but the Bangles version is really good.
I always felt the Bangles version should have a shredding guitar solo in the middle of it. I add one in my mind.
Like some of the best covers, the song version by the different artists feels entirely different despite the lyrics. So, I like both, but (especially as a child of the 80s) the Bangles works for me.
Same way I prefer the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence.
But it’s a difference of mood and style.
My preferred version of Disturbed’s version is this one that is a live duet with Myles Kennedy.
Turn around and bend over while dropping trou?
Not stockpiling.
Besides the owner’s manual, I have a 2 CHF coin for the grocery cart, a folding nylon bag from Wales (also for grocery shopping), a pair of old glasses for me and a pair of old glasses for hubby. And a parking disc (link).
I would not give a salute, because I do not want to acknowledge him. I like the idea of shunning.
Difficult decision, but I had to go with Simon & Garfunkel. I (Gen-X) listen to Simon & Garfunkel more than my parents (Silent).
A lot of people listen to Simon and Garfunkel more than they listen to their parents.
I wet my toothbrush before I put the toothpaste on. Then, I wet it again before I start brushing after putting the toothpaste on.
That was really good. Thanks!
My grandmother had antimacassars in her house. That was the last time I ever saw them.
Same here. And, even then, it was only one of my grandmothers (the “fancier” one) who had them. Apparently, my maternal grandmother – the one who had eleven kids, and was part of a very blue-collar family – either didn’t care, or didn’t have time to fuss with those.
I’ve only ever seen them on airplanes.
I recognized “antimacassar” as a Word I’d Seen At Some Point In My Life, but had no idea what one was.
When I looked it up, I thought: what a ridiculously bulky word for something so frilly.
I would definitely go to a Super Bowl event if you paid me.
I just looked up the kickoff time. It’ll be at 30 minutes after midnight for my time zone. Definitely not watching it or having a party.
I would have the same answer if I was in the same time zone.
Both grandmothers had antimacassars in their houses, as did their siblings. Don’t see them very often any more.
It would have to be at least $100 to make it worth my while. More if it’s far away.
We go to a Super Bowl party every year, because they’re church friends and it’s a nice group. Still, I’m tired of these two teams and would skip the whole thing if it were socially okay.
I’ve seen antimacassars, I’m pretty sure, in others’ homes, though I don’t think recently. I didn’t do anything to them, and doubt my hair was greasy enough that it would be plausible to say that I used them. Voted for the peaches and cream. I like peaches, with or without cream.
Voted “other” on the Super Bowl party, because if you paid me enough then I’d go to one. You’d have to pay me, though; or else it would have to be really important to somebody important to me that I show up, which I’m thankful to say is not something that’s ever occured in my life. – how much you’d have to pay me would depend on where it was and who else was going to be there.
I own a component stereo system, and so voted. I haven’t used it in quite a while, though; I think it would work if I plugged it in, but I’m not sure.
Both my grandmothers and a few of my older aunts deployed antimacassars, but I haven’t seen one in fifty years or so. People still used Brylcreem and such in the sixties, but not so much these days.
I will watch every minute of the Superbowl if you count what I see as I fast-forward through the halftime show and all of the time-outs. For the Superbowl I don’t skip the commercials just in case there’s a good one, though there haven’t been many in recent years.
I use my stereo system occasionally to listen to old LPs and 78s. For cassette tapes I mostly use a boombox-like radio-tape player in my office, but the stereo system has one too.
I didn’t first hear the name “Hall and Oates”; I saw it before I heard it.
