Is that an invitation, and if so, to whom?

Eat a puss?

My puss has been declared a 'Heritage Site', and off limits to the general public. :biggrin2:

On many occasions in the past, I have balanced a stack of fifty pennies on my left elbow, and caught all of them in mid-air, with my left hand. I haven't tried to do this recently, but I think with an hour or so of practice, I could do it again, at least once per ten attempts, and I think I could catch forty-eight or more at least three times out of ten, (the ones on the bottom of the stack are the hardest to catch.

I don't have superhuman reflexes; I just have large hands, and the length of my forearm just happens to be conducive to this activity, taking into account the arc described by my hand coming forward, and the acceleration of the falling stack, in accordance with the Earth's standard acceleration due to gravity. In other words, my hand just happens to pass through the same point in space to which the coins have dropped, at the same point in time, and my hand is big enough to catch all of them.

In the mid 1970's, the cousin of one of my friends was at a KISS concert, with a seat in the first five rows. When the show had just ended, a man approached her, and said that she had caught the eye of one of the band members, and he would like to extend an invitation to her to attend the after show party. She was over eighteen, but barely; not a thin girl, but not close to BBW, either. She looked like she might have been able to play Center on a junior girl's high school basketball team, to set screens, and foul in the paint. She was 1/4 North American Indian, and looked like she could be Italian, with a year round natural tan.

At the party, she was treated like anyone would expect to be at a posh wine and cheese. The topics of music and sex were never raised. After the party, she was driven home, alone, by limousine. I believed her, because she was the type who would have told us the whole story, if anything other than that had happened.

Were they rolled in a coin wrapper?

That is hard to believe! I saw KISS at the London Gardens in the mid-late 70's. The sound was so loud and the acoustics so bad, that I only recognized one song during the entire concert. I was hanging out at the back so I didn't get picked.

No, 50 loose pennies. If they were in a wrapper, it would be much more difficult to catch only 48 or 49.

Sometime when I'm with someone who can capture video on their cell phone, I'll have it documented, and post a successful attempt on my YouTube channel. I would have the rights to that one, so I could get part of the ad revenue. People would have to sit through three minutes of commercials, to see a 30 second video, where nothing much happens in the first 28 seconds, but they'd watch it more than once, and tweet about it. [the link to the YouTube channel might not work for other people; (https)]

There was a video of me on YouTube years ago, in which I was in a fake interview, and speaking in a faux Boston accent. I was a guy who was buying Garden Gnomes, which was said like Gadin' Noms, and 'the wife' thought I meant Gadin' Nomms. like Nomm, on Chizz.

It was all improvised, and I don't remember what else I said, other than that I did a commercial for something as Patrick Stewart, but I just did the voice and facial expressions; I didn't wear a bald wig. That was from around 1991. If you saw it, I still look the same.

The sound made by the coin catching manoevre is interesting, but hard to define onomatopoeiadically. I might need some help from Robin on that.

That gang always wore those yellow foam ear plugs at concerts. I cannot personally verify that the story is true, but it was told to me by the lady described, in a context where she had no motive to deceive anyone.

The friend's family had the cottage next to ours, and the cousin was a frequent weekend guest in June - September, (early 70's), and I still knew her, years later, (when we no longer had the cottage), when I could travel to the city on my own. They weren't in Montreal proper, but they were less than 20 minutes away by city bus, from The Forum.

I saw the last 40 minutes or so of a Kiss concert in fall, 1979. At that time, the ticket collectors at The Forum were only paid until 10:30 PM, and by then, many of the trendy folks were already leaving, like after the sixth inning of a Blue Jays game. They would remove the turnstiles, and anyone could just walk right in, and see the end of the show. A lot of people would just listen to most of the concert from the lobby, where the sound was better, but you couldn't see anything. I got to about midway on the floor, just before they played Beth, and since they weren't touring on a strong album, I got to see most of the good songs, for free.

GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) — A former Baltimore Ravenscheerleader and the estranged wife of a prominent Maryland energy executive has been indicted and arrested on charges of having sex with a 15-year-old boy, police announced Wednesday.
Molly Shattuck, 47, was indicted Monday on two counts of third-degree rape, four counts of unlawful sexual contact and three counts of providing alcohol to minors, Delaware State Police Sgt. Paul Shavack said. She was released on $84,000 bond after an arraignment Wednesday in Sussex County Superior Court in Georgetown, Delaware.


Shattuck's attorney did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday and Shattuck's Baltimore home phone rang unanswered.
On Sept. 26, a 15-year-old boy told police that Shattuck began an inappropriate relationship with him near Baltimore and that it culminated with sexual activity at a vacation rental home in Bethany Beach, Delaware, over Labor Day weekend, Shavack said. Police executed a search warrant on Shattuck's home Oct. 1 and seized items but Shavack declined to specify what they were.

Moses Horowitz, Moe Howard of The Three Stooges, made a ton of money from investing in real estate, at a time when he had a lot of money, and most people didn't. He didn't do as well as Bob Hope, who bought what would eventually be Palm Springs, California for like, two cents an acre, but he did well, very well.

His brother Jerome spent most of his money on booze and hookers, and was dead by 48, and in decline from about age 40.

He was after and before Shemp, before they started using different guys for #3. He was the last to join, and the first to go, but he is remembered first, before the others, except for the Moe fans. Nobody puts Larry on top. That Curly could make The Wild Man of Borneo laugh.

I saw a clip of The Three Stooges doing their act live on a show hosted by Frank Sinatra, around 1960. It was the same shtick, but it wasn't funny. The reason why was because they didn't have the stock sound effects. Poking a guy in the eyes with two fingers isn't funny. Poking a guy in the eyes with two fingers and the sound of a violin string being plucked is hilarious.

'hole in ones', (sic), would be correct, if there were hyphens between each word, like whip-poor-will, or jack-in-the-box. You hit three holes, you didn't hit three ones, that's why the one is singular, and the holes is plural.

If One does not place hyphens between the words in jack-in-the-box, acceptable plurals would be jacks in boxes or jacks in the boxes, but not 'jack in the boxes', without hyphens, because that would suggest that the one Jack has been dismembered, with different parts of him in more than one box.

You want to convey that, in each box, there is a complete and unique Jack, or, alternatively, that Jack and the box together are one entity, indicated by the hyphens, so that the plural would be Jack-in-the-boxes, which is better appreciated in prose, as opposed to speech, because people can't hear hyphens.

He only got 2 years probation Damn-Not too smart

A former Skokie police officer received two years' probation for shoving a woman into a concrete bench.

Michael Hart was seen on video pushing Cassandra Feuerstein after she was arrested in March 2013 for drunken driving. Feuerstein hit her face on the bench, breaking her eye socket and loosening some teeth.

A judge sentenced Hart to two years' probation after he pleaded guilty to official misconduct on Wednesday.

World's tallest man meets world's smallest man for Guinness World Records Day

Sultan Kosen, a towering 8 feet, three inches tall (2.5m) shook hands with Chandra Bahadur Dangi, just 21.5 inches tall (55 cm) at St. Thomas' Hospital as part of Guinness World Records Day and the 60th anniversary of Guinness World Records.

"I love London and to be able to finally meet Chandra after all this time is amazing," Kosen said. "Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives and when I look into Chandra's eyes, I can see he's a good man."
