Hot Fun in the Summertime: Lounge LC Thread

One day, I hope soon, we will wake up to the news that the orange buffoon is dead. I long for that day.

I doubt his replacement would be any better.

1953, the year I was born:

Playboy published first issue
Kinsey Report on Female Sexuality released
Polio Vaccine released
Stalin Dead
Korean War ends
US installs the Shah
Hillary and Norgay conquer Everest

I tell my students this, so I can end with "I am born."

"I Have a Dream" speech"
JFK assassination

The Kingsmen record "Louie, Louie"
The Coca-Cola Company introduces its first diet drink, Tab cola.
Steve McQueen's The Great Escape is released
The US Postal Service starts using zip codes

That was fun

Am I misremembering, or was Tab Cola horrible?

You are correct, sir.

Does your post mean that birthday greetings are in order, Dominic? If so, happy birthday.

lol no it just looked like a fun thing to do...my bday is in August

I have a friend who went into mourning when TaB was discontinued.

Charlie,

I watch a lot of British series, and I can't adjust to "different to."

Obviously, it should be "different from."

I beg to differ.

This is a good British series. Well Mexico.

nathan barley is elite

in the 90s, my work girlfriend would get fed up with something, grab me, and we would walk to the only corner store in Austin that stocked Tab. I thought it was a strange mission, but then I noticed that they also stocked Squirt, so i was happy with the outings and it was all good.

I still don't understand how people could drink Tab, though.

Hey charlie. Not sure if you're interested, but the latest National Geographic has an article on mudlarks I'm finding interesting so far.

For anyone who doesn't know, those are people who go down in the mud of the Thames and find old relics when the tide is out. Its less about what they've found than the permitting process, which has changed over the last several years.

Thanks, just read it. Now the Disney Corporation has my email.

I didn't know you needed a permit, or that it was so popular. I go walking by the Thames almost every day, in Battersea Park. Finding old shoes and false teeth in the river mud is not my own idea of fun, although I have enjoyed looking for glass on Seaham beach on holiday before.

I live right on the ocean, and typically it's much cooler here than in most of RI. One day a few weeks ago, the temp hit over 90 inland and was in the low 70s here.

Today and yesterday it's hit 90.

I am familiar with him.

Over 100 today in RI. That's unusual here in June.

Sometimes the people you work with are just colleagues, but if you're lucky they are also your friends. Just saying I've been lucky.
