New #DavePoll: lawsuits, what's your experience?
*can't vote in my own poll, but put me down as "neither"
**every couple of years I get a notice informing me I am qualified for a $0.47 check from some rando class action suit, but I've never cashed one
That's because my twitter feed contributes to happy marriages
"If you think I'M a bad husband, get a load of this guy"

I will never complain about the weather in Austin Texas, for I am intimately familiar with the alternatives

Don't want to discount Mr McKenzie's skill, but pretty sure these are Maytag (yep the washing machine people) toy racers, with customized bodies and stretched frames. If I'm right, the earliest the pics are is 1934. #DavesCarIDService
*between 1934 and 1941 Maytag made these very exclusive toy racers in Newton Iowa, powered by a gasoline washing machine engine. Not surprisingly these are hella rare; not many people had the money to buy their kid such a fancy toy during the Depression.
yes, you heard that right: a *gasoline* washing machine engine. Maytag made 1 and 2 cylinder versions. Prior to rural electrification, these were popular with farm families. My grandma had one, and my dad collected a few.

62nd anniversary of The Day The Music Died.
Some shots from that final show at the Surf Ballroom. That's Waylon Jennings playing bass for both Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. He didn't ride on the plane because he lost a coin flip.
correction - it was Buddy Holly's guitarist Tommy Allsup who lost the plane ride coin flip to Richie Valens; Waylon Jennings reluctantly gave up his seat on the plane to JR "The Big Bopper" Richardson because Richardson had the flu.

Cable news networks in the post-Trump era are going to be like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane
You don't think I remember anything, do you? There are a whole lot of things I remember. And you never paid for this house. Baby Jane Blitzer made the money that paid for this house, that's who!
EXT decrepit Victorian mansion on hill. Camera pans rusty cobwebbed gate with tarnished sign reading "Chyron Manor." Gate opens creakily, camera approaches up the driveway past abandoned antique satellite vans, to the mansion's single illuminated window.
