14. It's not as simple as it used to be.
Ya gotta sneak a quick look at the gas gauge before you haul the old lady outta the car.
If ya gotta buy gas, it kind of defeats the whole purpose.

1. Three questions....
"Would you like a glass of wine?"
"Do you smoke pot?"
"Do you want to go out on the veranda and smoke a cigarette?"
More than one "No" answer, and you're not going to work for us.
I cannot stand having straight people around me.

Sun screen lotion threatens coral: study
Source: yn
PARIS (AFP) - Sun screen lotions used by beach-going tourists worldwide are a major cause of coral bleaching, according to a new study commissioned by the European Commission.
In experiments, the cream-based ultra-violet (UV) filters -- used to protect skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure -- caused bleaching of coral reefs even in small quantities, the study found.

1. Another good reason not to put that crap on my skin.
I have never used any of that stuff.
And I have spent my life in the sun (Texas and California).

8. Perfect
I have naturally olive skin and have never suffered a serious sunburn. I am pretty much mahogany-toned.
Heck, I don't even use moisturizer or lotion on my skin and my hide looks like that of someone 30 years younger (I am on the wrong side of 50 by quite a shot).
My liver, however, is another issue entirely.
But thanks for asking.

9. ok, so you don't "need" it
everybody isn't so lucky. why so quick to call it crap if it helps others prevent skin cancer?
regarding the coral tho, i have no answer to that, but as we destroy the coral, so goes the ocean. scary stuff.

10. Maybe I shouldn't have called it "crap".
But I just hate the stuff - the texture, smell, you name it.
I know a lot of people need to use it - a woman I date is so fair-skinned that I don't think she could survive without the stuff. Hell, she is a world-class skier and gets snowburns, for goodness sakes.
Snowburns.
If I offended you, I apologize. That would never be my intent.

I am currently living in three different houses with three different women, who are all friends.
But I can't write them off as dependants for tax purposes. And that's one of the things that bugs me about polygamy. Those guys get write-downs on all those women and kids.

5. Some years ago, we were living northwest of Houston...
Some guy broke out of prison (Huntsville), went to Tomball (where we were living), killed his wife and mother-in-law at the trailer park, and got in a high-speed chase with the cops.
We were driving down Hwy 149 when the guy came streaking past us, followed by a jillion law cars.
He lost control and swerved off the highway, crashing into the base of this huge sign in front of a church.
Killed the shit out of the guy.
The sign read "The Wages of Sin is Death".
One of the funniest things I have ever seen.

6. LBJ was totally controlled by the Houston faction of Texas power
That's why it happened in Dallas.
The Houston power hated JFK.
They had JFK and Jackie booked into the very suite at the Rice Hotel where the group would regularly meet (I attended some of those meetings as a kid with my Grandfather).
I have a great personal LBJ story, but it takes too long to type.

9. When I first encountered the fool, he was poolside at some apartments
at the intersection of Hillcroft and Westheimer in Houston.
He and his fratbuddies were going on about how his dad was a really important guy and they were really loaded and trying to pick up some women who were with us. Saying that they had some really great reefer and all that.
They were total idiots, all pale-skinned and shiny and goofy.
I was home on leave from you-know-where and should have just taken care of business then and there.
That was my first impression.

8. This is what I did.
Long story short, I did this for an friend who was unable to pay any part of a $35,000 emergency room bill.
Do not contact the collection agency, contact the billing department at the hospital. Tell them you are willing to pay, but that you are on a very tight financial leash.
Ask them what the minimum monthly payment that is required to keep them from fouling up what is already a woeful credit situation.
In my case, Kaiser said they would accept a minimum payment of $50 a month with no interest escalation.
I told them I would gladly send them a check for $50 every month for the next 58 years (but I said it real nice-like).
They called about 2 days later and said they were writing it off as a charity case.
It costs them more than $50 to process a check and they know it.
Good luck.

56. It was so easy.
My friend is not only a pauper, but an illegal one at that (Chinese woman with an expired student visa).
She walks my dog and takes care of our house when we are away. And I would do anything for her.
Also, Marin General doesn't want to screw with anyone from our community. We are a very influential, small and wealthy Town and we can (and have) cost someone their job. Con mucho gusto.
Problem is, most people are totally unaware that there are so many available options out there. You just have to know where to look.
Also, it doesn't hurt that my attorney is the former Deputy Attorney General of the State of California, ex District Attorney of the County of Marin, has argued and won several Supreme Court cases and will absolutely bury any adversary in a flood of paperwork and motions that will cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars before they even walk through the courtroom door. It is a blood-lust game with him.
Heck, Belvedere/Tiburon just took on the State of California on a liquor code violation that the State was screwing us on and we won. We sued Mondavi, Gallo, and California in a class-action and won. We had better attorneys and were willing to out-spend them and they knew it.

I was home on leave in the early 70s.
A friend and I found some liquid gel caps of that crap in my Mother's medicine cabinet so, naturally, we got a syringe and fired 'em up.
I just came to some hours later and had no idea what had happened. A blank slate.
Neither did my friend.
Each of had done lots of pretty much every drug known to man but we swore we would never touch that particular one again.
I can still remember how much that stuff scared me.
Placidyl is the only drug that I ever swore to never do again.
And Rehnquist was sitting on the bench and taking that shit.

2. I knew this guy who was on the ground floor of OSS.
Ray Harris.
Total wild man. He was in with Donovan, Dulles, all of them.
At his funeral service (one of the few times Ray was ever inside a church), the preacher (who, of course, had never even met Ray) delivered the standard, "If Ray could talk to you today, he would tell you to get to know your Lord and Saviour....blah,blah...".
The place erupted in peals of laughter.
People were laughing so hard, they were crying.

I spent the better part of a week next to the arrogant little prick at the National Pool and Spa Show in Atlantic City.
He was endorsing a tether that would allow one to swim in place, a create-your-own-lap-pool type of device.
The guy was actually wearing his damned medals. I acted as if I had never heard of him and, at one point, asked him if he had acquired his medals at a pawn shop.
The guy has the personality of a scorpion (and that's putting it nicely, no disrespect to scorpions).

19. Once was exciting, the others pretty terrifying.
Edited on Sat Dec-27-08 09:15 PM by TomInTib
I have been robbed at gunpoint on a few occasions.
But a neighbor and I (extremely rural Deep East Texas) broke up a car theft ring that was being run by some locals. Total draw-down, ran them off the road, held them in the street while awaiting the Sheriff. Right in front of a house full of their relatives on Super Bowl Sunday morning.
It was pretty exciting, but we knew what we were doing. And they knew we would (gladly) kill them if they tried anything. I don't have a lot of regard for the so-called sanctity of human life.
I have a valid CC permit from Texas, and I make full use of it. Unless I am flying commercial, I am armed.
And, yes, I have led a pretty exciting (if you want to call it that) life. Since I was a kid, my motto has been "Sure, why not?". Thrill is a great stimulant.
on edit: My Brother killed a guy who was the leader of a vicious Home Invasion gang in SW Houston. We are no strangers to violence.
Just one problem... a Texas CCW permit is not valid in the state of California. :)
I live in another state and have a permit to carry a concealed handgun that was issued in my home state. Does my permit allow me to carry a concealed handgun while in California? (http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs.php#29)
No. Weapons permits from other states are not valid in California.

A classic from Flippy Doo (who seems to have left us, probably after our old home started back up). The links are missing but every single thing he said was backed up by a TiT quote in the DUmp.
Do you mean this? (And before I post it I want to give a big thumbs up to Delilah and company for all they've done in this thread. It's been excellent.)
And now a FlippyDoo rerun....
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, CCers of all ages, we are proud to bring to you today the fictional spirit guide with no smell whatsoever. Fresh from a deep cover mission in the bushes at the gas station next to Walmart, he's part Irish Setter and part pigeon. He's points out the good and poops on the bad. He's the one, the only, FlippyyyDooooo!!!!
FlippyDoo: Hello everyone. There’s been a lot of talk lately about a certain person. A person who weaves tales of daring-do. He presents himself as a sort of super duper legend. You all know who I’m talking about. Let’s welcome TiT to the stage.
TiT: Hello
FlippyDoo: Why don’t you tell us a little about yourself?
TiT: I grew up dirt poor on a Texas ranch. I never attended one day of school, because we were too poor to drive to town every day. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Wow! That’s poor. Tell us about your family.
TiT: I come from a Texas Family who actually makes things happen. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Uh, I thought you grew up dirt poor?
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Okay then. What about your current family? Any children?
TiT: One of my sons is a professional baseball player and the other travels the planet as a percussionist with Carlos Santana. linky dink
FlippyDoo: That’s impressive.
TiT: 10. I allowed my sons to smoke at home. Taught them and their friends to roll real efficient joints, too. My sons have smoked since their teens and are still smoking in their mid-20s. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Doesn’t professional baseball have drug testing? If so, the son playing ball might not be smoking any more or atleast can figure on getting into some hot water.
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Alrighty. No need to get all upset. It’s like Linda Ellerbee once said: laughter in the face of reality is probably the finest sound there is.
TiT: I am reminded of a time when we were all out to eat in NYC. Molly, Linda Ellerbee, John Stannard (a great percussionist) and me. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Well, I guess some folks might consider that running with the fast horses.
TiT: We had racehorses and raced them at Vinton. One of the local handicappers was a little black kid around eight years old (seriously). I was standing on a sidewalk in town when the kid came up to me and said,"Mister Tom, WonderWoman in de cafe over dere". And this kid was always as serious as a heart attack.
So I walked in and there she [linda Carter] was, sitting with some woman (I believe it was her agent) and everyone in the place was looking at her. And I just walked up and introduced myself. This was the late 70s and I was into vintage Western shirts and wild-assed boots and my hair was to my waist. Sat down and had lunch with them and invited them to a party at our trainer's house that night. They were making an appearance in Houston the next day.
And she showed up. She had the most beautiful eyes in the world. linky dink
FlippyDoo: So you’ve hung out with Wonder Woman? That’s quite a song to sing. Speaking of songs, I’ve read that you wrote a song called “Driving Across Americaâ€.
TiT: I wrote that while traveling North Texas with my eldest son. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Is that so? The only problem with that is that Mark Germino wrote that song.
TiT: Well...I co-wrote that. The premise and most of the body is mine, but a friend supplied most of the really wicked turns. I pretty much half-bake most of my stuff, but I am fortunate enough to know some great "Closers". linky dink
FlippyDoo: I’m surprised that I can’t find anywhere that lists you as co-writer.
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Yes, you’ve said that. Let’s see, so far you’ve been acquainted with Linda Ellerbee, Linda Carter, John Stannard (a great percussionist), and Mark Germino. Any other famous folks that we should know about?
TiT: Gary Primich, considered by many to be one of the greatest harmonica players in the world. Damn, damn, damn. God, we used to tear it up. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Anyone else?
TiT: I once had the pleasure of pointing an Ithaca 12 gauge pump at John Warner's sternum. And I got away with it. For he was just SecNav and I was me. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Wait a minute. Do you actually expect us to believe that you did that to the Secretary of the Navy?
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Right. So you’re a tough guy? Why would you have contact with the SecNav anyway?
TiT: Qua Viet 68-71. PBR (patrol boat- river) pilot. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Oh, so you’re a Vietnam vet?
TiT: SEAL Team 3, here. Extraction Team attached to 3,3 Marine, Quang Tri, '69-'72. linky dink
FlippyDoo: Hold on now. You just claimed that you were a PBR pilot from 1968 to 1971. Now you’re all of a sudden claiming that you were a SEAL from 1969 to 1972?
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Yeah, I’m sure, but from what I can find there wasn’t even a “SEAL Team 3†in Vietnam. I think you might be a phony.
TiT: I'm so phony that they gave me the Navy Cross to prove it. (shows photo) linky dink
FlippyDoo: You do realize that the photo you’re showing is straight from the Navy website? Why not just show a photo of your actual medal? Also, it would be real easy to check the names of the actual Navy Cross recipients to see if what you say is true.
TiT: I also live under an assumed name. linky dink
FlippyDoo: That seems to be quite convenient.
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Okay, but I’m beginning to wonder if the bank would stamp it “NSFâ€. Tell me, do you wear the blue costume with the big “S†on it under you clothes all the time or do you just put it on when you go on a mission? Don’t answer. We just don’t have the time. Thanks for tuning in everyone and have a Merry Christmas.

TiT: I am reminded of a time when we were all out to eat in NYC. Molly, Linda Ellerbee, John Stannard (a great percussionist) and me. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=62723&mesg_id=62807)
FlippyDoo: Well, I guess some folks might consider that running with the fast horses.
TiT: We had racehorses and raced them at Vinton. One of the local handicappers was a little black kid around eight years old (seriously). I was standing on a sidewalk in town when the kid came up to me and said,"Mister Tom, WonderWoman in de cafe over dere". And this kid was always as serious as a heart attack.
So I walked in and there she [linda Carter] was, sitting with some woman (I believe it was her agent) and everyone in the place was looking at her. And I just walked up and introduced myself. This was the late 70s and I was into vintage Western shirts and wild-assed boots and my hair was to my waist. Sat down and had lunch with them and invited them to a party at our trainer's house that night. They were making an appearance in Houston the next day.
And she showed up. She had the most beautiful eyes in the world. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=221&topic_id=56806&mesg_id=56834)
FlippyDoo: So you’ve hung out with Wonder Woman? That’s quite a song to sing. Speaking of songs, I’ve read that you wrote a song called “Driving Across Americaâ€.
TiT: I wrote that while traveling North Texas with my eldest son. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2332642&mesg_id=2332711)
FlippyDoo: Is that so? The only problem with that is that Mark Germino wrote that song.
TiT: Well...I co-wrote that. The premise and most of the body is mine, but a friend supplied most of the really wicked turns. I pretty much half-bake most of my stuff, but I am fortunate enough to know some great "Closers". linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2475135&mesg_id=2475927)
FlippyDoo: I’m surprised that I can’t find anywhere that lists you as co-writer.
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Yes, you’ve said that. Let’s see, so far you’ve been acquainted with Linda Ellerbee, Linda Carter, John Stannard (a great percussionist), and Mark Germino. Any other famous folks that we should know about?
TiT: Gary Primich, considered by many to be one of the greatest harmonica players in the world. Damn, damn, damn. God, we used to tear it up. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=210&topic_id=20336&mesg_id=20336)
FlippyDoo: Anyone else?
TiT: I once had the pleasure of pointing an Ithaca 12 gauge pump at John Warner's sternum. And I got away with it. For he was just SecNav and I was me. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=232535&mesg_id=233373)
FlippyDoo: Wait a minute. Do you actually expect us to believe that you did that to the Secretary of the Navy?
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Right. So you’re a tough guy? Why would you have contact with the SecNav anyway?
TiT: Qua Viet 68-71. PBR (patrol boat- river) pilot. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3734985&mesg_id=3735423)
FlippyDoo: Oh, so you’re a Vietnam vet?
TiT: SEAL Team 3, here. Extraction Team attached to 3,3 Marine, Quang Tri, '69-'72. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1698598&mesg_id=1705326)
FlippyDoo: Hold on now. You just claimed that you were a PBR pilot from 1968 to 1971. Now you’re all of a sudden claiming that you were a SEAL from 1969 to 1972?
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Yeah, I’m sure, but from what I can find there wasn’t even a “SEAL Team 3†in Vietnam. I think you might be a phony.
TiT: I'm so phony that they gave me the Navy Cross to prove it. (shows photo) linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1929685&mesg_id=1930179)
FlippyDoo: You do realize that the photo you’re showing is straight from the Navy website? Why not just show a photo of your actual medal? Also, it would be real easy to check the names of the actual Navy Cross recipients to see if what you say is true.
TiT: I also live under an assumed name. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2000817&mesg_id=2000817)
FlippyDoo: That seems to be quite convenient.
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Okay, but I’m beginning to wonder if the bank would stamp it “NSFâ€. Tell me, do you wear the blue costume with the big “S†on it under you clothes all the time or do you just put it on when you go on a mission? Don’t answer. We just don’t have the time. Thanks for tuning in everyone and have a Merry Christmas.

Thanks, flip!
One for the ages. Are you thinking you can do an Act II with the last set of materials TiT left behind? The 3 beautiful/professional g/f, the "I won't sell to you," the "I have 5 properties I own," etc?
The facts are there but your treatment is unreproducible.

I hadn't really thought about it. Depending on how things go Monday and Tuesday I may have time to work on something between Wednesday and next weekend.
On a non-TiT related front, while digging up the old TiT post I found an old July 4th edition of the Flippy Show that I think was lost when CU went down. While not about TiT it does shine a bright light on the DUmmies using their own words. I might post it also.

Start a thread -- I'll bump it!

Okay. Here's a repeat of the original post. The links should work...
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, CUers of all ages, we are proud to bring to you today the fictional spirit guide with no smell whatsoever. Fresh from a deep cover mission in the bushes at the gas station next to Walmart, he's part Irish Setter and part pidgeon. He's points out the good and poops on the bad. He's the one, the only, FlippyyyDooooo!!!!
FlippyDoo: Hello everyone. There’s been a lot of talk lately about a certain person. A person who weaves tales of daring-do. He presents himself as a sort of super duper legend. You all know who I’m talking about. Let’s welcome TiT to the stage.
TiT: Hello
FlippyDoo: Why don’t you tell us a little about yourself?
TiT: I grew up dirt poor on a Texas ranch. I never attended one day of school, because we were too poor to drive to town every day. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1845686&mesg_id=1846678)
FlippyDoo: Wow! That’s poor. Tell us about your family.
TiT: I come from a Texas Family who actually makes things happen. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2000817&mesg_id=2002790)
FlippyDoo: Uh, I thought you grew up dirt poor?
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.
FlippyDoo: Okay then. What about your current family? Any children?
TiT: One of my sons is a professional baseball player and the other travels the planet as a percussionist with Carlos Santana. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=222&topic_id=25112&mesg_id=25173)
FlippyDoo: That’s impressive.
TiT: 10. I allowed my sons to smoke at home. Taught them and their friends to roll real efficient joints, too. My sons have smoked since their teens and are still smoking in their mid-20s. linky dink (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2137381&mesg_id=2137470)
FlippyDoo: Doesn’t professional baseball have drug testing? If so, the son playing ball might not be smoking any more or atleast can figure on getting into some hot water.
TiT: You can take anything I say to the Bank.

Might be a repeat, but still hilarious as all get out. I wonder if ya do a Part II, if you can include TiT saying how he's got such huge mitts he can "press the leftmost shift key and the 2 button on the right side of his keyboard with one hand".... he must have some fun with that on those lonely nights when it's just him, his computer, and a bottle of Jergen's hand lotion. :-)

I'm still around. I just don't post much. I still have that post on the PC with the links. If anyone wants the original post with the links active let me know and I'll post it.
Yes please Flippy, it was a classic. :)
-
Kick.

I had forgotten about the TiT edition of the Flippy Show. Hard to believe it was 4 years ago.

From a late arrival, thanks for posting that. I can see why you folks are so nostalgic about Mr Tibbs. I shall enjoy watching him burn out this time.
