2024 Presidential Campaign...
The Campaign of Sizes (tents, crowds, penises, donors) waged by a Woman (Harris) and a Cunt (GOP)
ON this date in 1976 - Barbara Walters joined Harry Reasoner at the anchor desk of the "ABC Evening News" for the first time.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, budding adventurists, were just toddlers at the time of this portal entry.
Bun Man was so cute, he looked up at the TV and uttered his first words to his mummy "Baba Wawa"...
Gilda Radner later stole this line and used it to make scads of moola on SNL
(When SNL was good!!)
MT RUSHMORE ORIGIN STORY
ON this date in 1927 - The first actual work of carving began on Mount Rushmore. Conceived as a two-person monument, the plans were for a tribute to Bun Man and Mr Purple, but the first carvers started cutting 4 figures into the mountain.
Quickly, Danish-American Sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, reconceptualized the drawings and 4 American Presidents were immortalized. The Boyz ended up w/ the rights to the tourist shop so it wasn't a total loss.
ON this date in 1943 - "Is You is or is You Ain’t My Baby?" by Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five was released.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, Cub Reporters for Variety, interviewed Mr. Jordan about his release.
P asked the question, "Louie, I hope I can call you Louie, where did you find such an inventive use of grammar for the song's title?"
Without hesitation, Mr. Jordan (apparently he wasn't too keen on the Louie thing) replied "Facebook, man, facebook..."
There are #minhowlkinmoments and then ther are more #minhowlkinmoments and then there are some great #minhowlkinmoments

SAY IT AIN'T SO...
One of my fave blues lines...

IF THE THUNDER DON'T GET YOU, THEN THE LIGHTNING WILL...
Ken-Dogger: Hey Roxie
Roxie: Morning Dogger, a question…
KD: Okay…
R: Am I an individual or am I a group?
KD: You’re always an individual, but sometimes part of a group. Why do you ask?
R: Well, when I’m an individual, peeps take to me; when I’m in a group, trouble starts.
KD: The personal becomes impersonal…
R: So, we need more personal touch?
KD: Yes, the Hammer doesn’t seem to be working to bring peeps together.

Congress peeps were concerned they should offer more, but then they thought US citizens might start thinking government can work.

100 YEARS AND COUNTING
ON this date in 1922 - Rebecca L. Felton became the first female to hold office of U.S. Senator.
She was appointed by Governor Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia to fill a vacancy.
Bun Man just said, "It took this country over 100 years to put a woman in the Senate, it will take another 100 years to get sense & sensibility in that chamber."
ON this date in 1942 - The Office of Economic Stabilization was established by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
He also authorized controls on rents, wages, salaries and farm prices.
OES Agents Bun Man and Mr. Purple, more affectionately known as Greed Control Agents (GCA), combed the countryside to ensure economic stabilization and to save America's Middle Class.
The Boyz retired from service in 1982, but boy could we use these two now to get America's Middle-Class back...
