Truly Tasteless Jokes books as well as it being relatively appropriate to tell a racist, sexist, ethnocentric, homophobic, etc joke even in mixed company.

There was this gay movie reviewer host on KOA in Denver when I was a tike. He was clever as hell. Anyway (I don't remember his name) story is he got fired because he refused to say K O A. He would say kohahh. Same station Alan Berg was a host at who dun got assassinated.

I mean fuck, all the "big three" stations in Seattle go by how you would pronounce the word. KIRO, KOMO and KING. I dunno.

I had a few observations lately which most I have forgotten.

But this one springs to mind: antennas on the front of cars. Also fancy chrome.

That was great shit. I read all of them along with Two Minute Mysteries.

Not in unison. . .Just I was down with that shit as a kid.

Perhaps that's because you've rarely exposed more of yourself than your rather featureless face, 0_0, no need to cry, though. I meant that in a most respectable way.

Movie credits showed only one mogul producer’s name, not a long stream of executive producers, co-producers..........

Spam brought to mind only the dreaded canned stuff grandmothers served up.

Image

Tesla brought to mind only a brilliant man, not a car/rocket/corporation.

Image

Wells Fargo brought to mind only an American stage-coach mail service, not a multinational, unscrupulous, criminal banking system.

Difficult choice in which thread to place this, here or in The Better Nature of Humanity Will Prevail.
