Your point?

Howard is with Bruce Jenner and OJ Simpson on ABC Sports. It would have been hard to believe at that point in time what happened with them both in the future.

ndeed, good point. ]

Very cute. haha Almost kinda cringy though. At leat Howard didn't call O. J. the"m" word on national tv. And no. I do not mean the other letter. Just the "M" word.

I was going to post this on the “Members Favourite Music” thread, but I don’t think that everyone checks out that thread as some threads don’t appeal to all members.

Some of you long time forumites remember Louis in Florida. He is not doing well, dealing with illness, but he has a terrific attitude and he continues to share stuff with me and his online friends. Check out this great video that Louis shared yesterday. The violin player is hot and the song is great!

Music, art, science & porn have a lot in common.

That's cute!

I have grievances with those defective mirrors. They show a false image of much older guy than me whenever I step in front of one. haha

 

[tampa24]

Just for some comic and stress releasing relief.

Thanks, Tampa, I am a dog kid and a series of German shepherds as a teen called Gus. We went dog obedience school to train us & won a medal as a well trained pair! . We know have a house cat who is attached to me.

As I was watching local news this morning, I discovered that today is the 50th anniversary of the real bank robbery that occurred in Brooklyn, that inspired the Al Pacino movie, Dog Day Afternoon.

This is the story.

Here is the actual news report on with Harry Reasoner on ABC News, the next day where the hostage taker was described as an “admitted homosexual”. We sure use different terminology today.

I was working that afternoon at my summer job in Brooklyn, several miles from he actual bank in Sheepshead Bay. Another, “I can’t believe it’s 50 years ago”, moment. Lol

Frankly, somethings are best left in the past. That, however if just me.

And I on the other hand love history and reminiscing about news events from the past. That kind of stuff fascinates me. But that’s just me.

Cool! I had my turns at owning both cats and dogs growing up. I'm more of a dog person than a cat person. But on the other hand a litter box is much easier to deal with than walking a dog four times a day or more and picking up feces outside with bare hands and a plastic bag. But God. They're so adorable. haha

Very interesting story Mikey.

Very interesting story Mikey.

Do you remember the Al Pacino film, Dog Day Afternoon? That is this story.





And I remember listening to the radio at work, fifty years ago today. That is why I found it noteworthy to mention it today.

I am a history person, myself & on second thought you are right. And there is this axion, I ignored. In order to avoid past mistakes you must not ignore them as a key reason to study them be it the Nazis, Putin or Dump.

 

[tampa24]

I didn't see the movie. But goodness. Look at how cute Al Pacino was back then.
