I can find nothing in this article about EDUARD VON BÖHM-ERMOLLI that would indicate that even as an enemy combatant in WW I he earned this treatment in what has to be at least a late 20th century animation.
The song says “more than 2,000 miles all the way.”
Research indicates Route 66 was actually 2,448 miles long.
Hmmm…let’s see now… 2,448 divided by 48 complete hours comes to an average speed of 51 miles an hour.
Your trips were always less than two days.
Who had the lead foot? 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
L.A., not Santa Monica. “Only” a little over 2,100 miles.
Unless, of course, you take a wrong turn at Albuquerque…
Yes, I know; that doesn’t make a big difference. But I wanted to chime in a certain bunny, Bugs.
My father. Drove straight thru. Pulled over for catnaps. Us 3 kids got to sleep in the back on two suitcases and blankets. We ate salami and spam sandwiches a lot! Had a ball at my cousins’ house.

If Claude had brought home one of these for Cleo, he’d probably have to run out for batteries at least once a week.

Make lengthwise slits in frankfurters. Mix pickle relish and mustard. Spoon into slits in frankfurters. Wrap each with bacon slice and fasten with toothpicks. Place on hot baking sheet.
Bake in hot oven (425° F.), turning occasionally, until frankfurters are browned and bacon is cooked — takes about 30 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
Notes from me:
Put the baking sheet on the second oven rack (Top rack is first.).
The preheated sheet is important. Pre-heat the oven and put it in to heat while wrapping the dogs.
Wow! I’ve had a few universal remotes (including a couple that were programmable and could do anything the originals could.) i don’t believe I paid more than $20 for any of them!
I have a tv in my office tha I can operate. Two remotes, unless I want to play a dvd. Downstairs, my wife and daughter use a tv with multiple devices and streaming services. Any time I try to use it I screw it up.

I went back on the channel for the guy that does the illustration histories.
He has quite the body of work.
This is a early two part by him.
Please keep these coming as you watch them.
I not only like the direct narration of the history lesson, I stop the video and actually read some of the cartoons (see the three time periods I’ve listed at the bottom). Right there is a summation of the issues of the day by really good political cartoonists. The roots of today’s manga go back to Hokusai an artist living in 18th century Japan (go from 5:19 to 6:20); two “problems” America, Canada, Australia, Germany, France…..etc. think they’re facing today, are not newly minted (here’s where stopping the video is necessary / while the cartoons are American the sentiments are present today in all the countries named):
“corporate: 12:47-12:52” — “immigration 12:52 – 12:53” — and one more that is still uniquely American even though it may not seem like it “America’s wooing by the world 12:53 – 12:55”

There’s something to be said for old TV’s like my last one (which I still called my new TV… a friend having given me a late-1980’s model when my old “old TV” … ca 1979… gave up.)
It had a remote, at one time, but also had buttons on it.
Right there on the TV.
What a concept. You could turn it on and off and change channels just by…. gasp! … getting out of your chair.
Without driving several miles in a snowstorm for batteries.
Sorry, Cleo.
…
In fact, I never had the remote… I had to use those buttons… till I got a VCR whose remote also controlled the TV.
But I didn’t have cable.
I suppose cable is why Claude’s DVD remote can’t also control the TV… or maybe not.
I used to know this stuff, but I’m out of touch….
My TV reception left in 2008 when the US went digital, and left me feeling analog.
I bought a converter box but my signal was too weak to convert.
…
However, years before that, before I had a computer or the internet, I spent hours setting up a “universal” remote for a neighbor…
A gift from her son… who didn’t come along to program it.
It had buttons for everything… even things she didn’t have.
Nowadays you can look up the codes online, but I had to run through dozens, manually, from a huge instruction manual, to make it compatible with her TV, VCR, and I think her stereo. Or something.
….
You’d think something like that would solve Claude’s problem, too…
or, nowadays, you can even get an app for your smartphone that works with a lot of (but apparently not all) TVs, DVD players, and other devices.
But if Claude is anything like my neighbor, there isn’t a remote possibility he’d ever be able to figure out which button to use when.
I thought Newton was into apples, not figs. Must have been on a roll.
I’ve got nothing on it, but you may divide it without a scalpel. Religious freedom isn’t necessary to appreciate a dragon (Hi, Plods)!
Anyways – in this weather, I need something hot and spicy.
Who’d a thunk it… PALEO DIET FIG NEWTONS. This site’s owner is apparently claiming them as hers.
A read through of the of the recipe confirms that the ingredients and layering match, but you never know. I’ve posted the opening three sentences of the site below.
“These Paleo Fig Newtons are easy, delicious, and healthy. Made with all real ingredients and sweetened only with fruit. Gluten free and vegan as well! “
I guess almond flour doesn’t have any gluten. I’m not going to find out the hard way.
As a side note, anything that’s added to a recipe is real.
“real artificial bacon made from plants” — “real artificial vanilla made from some of the same chemicals” — “real tofu ground beef” — etc… etc…
Tommy James & the Shondells! First concert I ever went to… they played our high school auditorium. I’m not sure why, or if it was free, but it was awesome. They played their big hits, but what blew away was one of their lesser hits: Ball of Fire in the Sky. It was so powerful live.
Nothings as individuals have a very varied (and sometimes weird) existences; citing five examples for a nothing I know:
1 sometimes has humans getting upset over it (never under it for some reason)
2 phases a “them” on a regular basis (whatever phasing a “them” is)
3 it can always succeed like success anyplace it is, but succeeding unlike success is beyond its capabilities
4 it is often gotten by a human who can’t solve a problem
5 it is faster than light
Many moons ago, when I got my first VCR, I taped a Christmas show for my mom when she had to work. She wanted to watch the next day when I was at work, so I left her very clear, step by step instructions. Like:
1. Turn on TV.
2. Set TV to channel 4.
3. Turn on VCR.
4. Push play (drawing of the play button).
Got home and she said it didn’t work. Had her go through the steps. She got to 3 and turned on the stereo instead of the VCR.

I agree.

Yuck! I expected him to open his mouth and the snake would come out.
Waaaay too creepy!
blame me, then. Stel was on the fence about posting that. when I saw it
I laughed out loud and said “heck yes, post it, it’s funny!”
The more i look at it the more Pythonesk it looks.
Ugh, snakes. Why’s it got to be snakes!
FUNNY!
(Coming from someone with a warped sense of humor!)
THANK YOU, MONTANA LADY!! AT LEAST SOMEONE APPRECIATES THE CREEPY HUMOR OF IT, OTHER THAN NIGHTHAWKS AND MYSELF!!!

“Captain, I think we’ve figured out why you have that persistent earache.”
Route 66, every summer — L.A. to Chicago in less than 2 days!
(in the ’40’s and ’50’s)
The song says “more than 2,000 miles all the way.”
Research indicates Route 66 was actually 2,448 miles long.
Hmmm…let’s see now… 2,448 divided by 48 complete hours comes to an average speed of 51 miles an hour.

MontanaLady’s comment:
lyrics
“It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six”
And just as a by the way:
If you were going from L.A. to Chicago on Route 66 and forgot to turn left at Albuquerque……Bugs Bunny style adventure ahead.

“Frank-Bacon Bats”
16 frankfurters
1 1/2 cups pickle relish or chopped sweet pickles
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
16 slices bacon
Make lengthwise slits in frankfurters. Mix pickle relish and mustard. Spoon into slits in frankfurters. Wrap each with bacon slice and fasten with toothpicks. Place on hot baking sheet.
Bake in hot oven (425° F.), turning occasionally, until frankfurters are browned and bacon is cooked — takes about 30 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
Notes from me:
Put the baking sheet on the second oven rack (Top rack is first.).
The preheated sheet is important. Pre-heat the oven and put it in to heat while wrapping the dogs.
So the relish and mustard are the vegetables, but where are the carbs?
This Cleo and Company is so funny. Exactly something I would do…… except for the hot dog. So many remotes and they get so confusing! Good one!!
There was a day when we had a universal remote. It was sooooooo handy. Until it broke. Then it would cost over $500 to replace!
Wow! I’ve had a few universal remotes (including a couple that were programmable and could do anything the originals could.) i don’t believe I paid more than $20 for any of them!
