The General and Sherlock, Jr. are superior Buster Keaton flicks, but I’ve always loved this bit in old Yankee Stadium from The Cameraman — I’d do the same thing if left alone.

Who’s on first?
Yes.
Helm, I forgot to tell you that I read your father’s autobiographical essay over the holidays. I was just Christmas-crazy!!
Anyway, it was super. I had the pleasure of spending time in New York with my now ex-in-laws who are Italian descent (mother-in-law is Polish-Irish) and Catholic. My baby daddy is one of six boys and one girl (I’ll let you guess what her name is). So, it was nostalgic to read about your family; it could have been about my in-laws. I look forward to future chapters.
One story from mine regarding the use of “guinea” is that my brother-in-law had never heard it. I was a bit incredulous but he was sincere.
I miss them and am glad my Suns are still part of them. Older Sun is able to travel to NY for weddings and such. I don’t miss the baby daddy.
Thanks Tex, he’ll be happy to hear that.
Great legs, Outlaw!
Jimmy…I had to say that or he’d hurt me!
See EP’s reference to “cankles” below but be careful.
Oh…I be careful! Very careful!
Every little (and big) boy’s fantasy.
“Aren’t the Yankees playing today?”
“Sure … in St. Louis.” What a wisenheimer.
Mrs. Clinton is on the hot seat. It will all depend on what the meaning of “slaughtered in the street” is. She’s been practicing. Pillow talk.
Honey, 38 hostages just died in Algeria and the big news story is Beyonce’s lip syncing. I remember a time when live hostages would lead the news, but the media just isn’t interested in foreign policy right now. Mrs. Clinton will be just fine.
Wha?? Beyonce lip synced? Well, at least al-Qaeda is on the run.
I’m watching the Hillary show. What an arrogant b!tch. Bo-Boxer is up. I’m outta here.
I thought Kim and Khloe always led the news!
Who’s the baby daddy this week?
Hard to remember…oops,did I say hard?
Did I hear correctly a couple of weeks ago, that Bruce Jenner is no longer a Kardasian consort?
There isn’t a Republican in the White House to blame. Therefore, all’s fine in the world: War is over, peace shall reign on earth, chocolate rivers shall flow, unicorns will dance in fields of cotton candy and lollipop trees.
Why pay attention to the real world when a Left-wing fantasy is so much nicer?
Democrats handle disasters well! The sky may be falling, but they’ll never own up to their hand in it making it do so!
Chocolate rivers? What will happen to all the fish?
[GULP] Huh?
College prankster!!
Something like that, guilty.
I din’t see no goldfish eatin’ contest!
Big Rock Candy Mountains,Daniel
But where are the cigarette trees?
And the rubber-toothed dogs?

I think it borders this place: http://youtu.be/zfgmsDHdBbY (Had this on a record when I was a kid.)
Where the Good Ship Lollipop lands.
I hear that Hillary isn’t throwing anyone under the bus! Typical, “What? No one did anything wrong!”
Well, somebody did, or the Ambassador and staff would still be alive!
Doc Schplatt should get a laff out of this

I heard that on CSN Bay Area last night. He’s down to a svelte 308 lbs!
The Raiders passed on Adrian Peterson to get him…heh
There’s that hindsight thing again, you can’t always tell who might flame out and who is going to be awesome.
Mark Levin on Lardass…I mean Chris Christie
http://www.therightscoop.com/mark-levin-anybody-who-is-sick-and-tired-of-chris-christies-big-mouth-raise-your-hand/
Chris Christie… about as real as Manti Te’O's girlfriend. What are the odds he speaks at the Dem Convention in 2016 or 2020?
Speaking as their VP nominee or just in general? I put even odds on either.
I’ll take that bet. He’s a has-been in-waiting.
Buster Keaton. What a genius. Those films will always work, until the geneticists breed the last human DNA out of us.
They’re working on that in New Zealand. Better to learn how to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
OK. I get it. Hillary pep rally/hearings. Stipulated: Bad things happen to good people. Hillary is losing it, deflecting any tough question. Let’s move on. Praise.
you would say that. war on wimmins.
Now you know THAT I try to have a sense of humor, try to stay willing to laugh at myself, etc., but you’ve really crossed the line this time. That shrew is not of the same sex as I. Don’t EVER imply otherwise. You’ve been warned, young man. Don’t make me stop this car!
(Wow! Rand Paul just told the hag that he would have relieved her from her post! Billy’s gonna give that cad a black eye. Uh oh.)
Rand Paul. My boyfriend.
Oooo. Rodham hates Rand Paul. Just hates his guts.
I just posted the video to that. Sight to behold — it bears repeated watchings and is in my 2016 folder
The real question is, why didn’t her lady parts warn her about this?
+cankles
+penicillin.
+sodium pentobarbital
Too quick. Too painless.
False negative vibes were emitted due to the ambassador’s sexual orientation.
The bridge? Oh, I get it. AKA Mr. Clinton, no?
I don’t want to be around when her “Spidey sense” is tingling.
Varicose vibes, web spun with Lycra.
The amazing woman with the upside down legs!
Because she has none!
Good ol’ Buster Keaton, as Lars noted, genius. Thanks for sharing this, Floyd. It’d been too long and just what my almost back to 100% head and aching body needed this morning. Now off to try that thing called a job.
Like being a window washer,aches and panes.
I hope he doesn’t streak.
Always with the nudity, eh?
Wrong. I was referring to his underwear.
Ewwww. First, Hillary’s cankles and now this – rough crowd this morning.
-fritz- made me say it.
I did not! I get blamed for everything around
here!
Sorry, I suffered from typicus-interruptus!
It’s okay, we figured you nodded off for a bit.
At least I finished it!
At least.
Eric’s?
Anyone’s.
Commando.
Ditto.
Ohhhhh myyyyyyy!
Whoa!

Yea, right. How’s that Great Society workin’ out, huh? Eejits.
Things we learn from watching “Jeopardy”

Incredible building…at the turn of the 20th Century,Belfast and Glasgow were the two greatest shipyard cities in the world.
I saw that episode. It was the final question. I got it right, Alex.
I did too!
Easy-peasy.
I missed yesterday…”What Is The Swiss Confederation?”
So did I!!! I guessed Germany.
I guessed Mississippi
Hysterical.
Heeere’s yur coffee and assorted crumbly past(r)ies! See? The “r” is like Ragu…it’s in there!
That’s teRRific!

A nation of shyster lawyers
Oh, Lawdy!! Someone over at HA reminded me of this:
Ain’t it rich!!!
And my staement back to her would have been, “Tell us Mrs. Clinton, what really happened to Ron Brown and Vince Foster!”
Great news! My HOW pool repair guy came out today because I lost my pool pump last Friday. It only cost me $75 co-pay and now I have an up and running pool pump. The only problem is that the total repair was the replacement of a capacitor which I could have changed myself for $25! I’m a pretty good mechanic, but a dumnitch with electronics!
I hope it wasn’t a flux capacitor.
Calvin?
Watt?
Ha! I meant Klein & you thought kelvin! Sweet.
Yup! Ya got me! Smarty pants!
I cut this one off Monday night

That show was over the line.
But Scott…it’s got BACON!
Cookie.
41% of Democrats are creationists. A little something to keep in mind when some liberal brags that the Dems are the “party of science”.
You know that thing where you are chatting with an acquaintance in an innocuous setting and they end up spilling their gut and crying? That totally just happened to me. Good times at Lego Club, let me tell you.
Oh dear. I hate when that happens. It must mean you look trustworthy and kind. Did you give her a cookie?
I didn’t have a cookie. But I did pat her hand (literally) and gave her a (clean) Kleenex from my purse. And when I spilled my coffee I didn’t spill it on her, so I guess that is something?
No cookie? Things really are bad in Cali. Yay for not spilling coffee on her!
Tink conveniently forgets to mention that she spilled her coffee trying to hide her cookie.
That’s what she gets for wearing short skirts.
That’s all well and good, but she just gave me her cookie above at 12:34 pm!
Oh. Is that what you guys call it now?
+19th century
What a bunch of wussies. It’s a frigging t-shirt, with a famous movie quote, ya idjits!

Thought folks down under were made of sturdier stuff.
unleash heck!
darn the torpedoes!
I think my favorite comment was along the lines of, if they were intimidated, it must have been because they killed the man’s father and clearly should have been removed and placed in custody for murder.
I don’t remember the terrorists ever wearing t-shirts saying…..well, anything at all. Maybe the underwear guy had BOMB across the butt of his undies?
As long as there are no streaks …
or bacon strips
Same thing, darlin’
Just on Hannity: That racist MF Juan Williams just called Phil Mickelson a “poor little rich boy” for complaining about being unfairly taxed. Who’s a boy??? I’m done with this sh!t.
