Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Knives are tools. You carry what you need for the work you do. When I graduated from Boy Scout knives,
I carried a Case hawkbill for about 30 years. Excellent for opening things, stripping wires, etc.
The Marines issued me a TL-29 electricians knife. Very handy for that sort of job.
Lately my everyday knife is a Zero Tolerance ZT 0200ST
I use it every day for cartons, feed sacks, wire and straps etc. It's kind of like driving an armored Humvee to Walmart...unnecessary, but comforting.

".luaP deirub I" drove lots of people nuts and on a search for "Pepperland" and "the truth" in what, 1969 or 1970?
And it turned out to be....cranberry sauce.
You learn something every day. I did not know that. Well, I guess I've filled my learning quota for the day.

I am certain I didn't know anybody then who played records backwards. And of those people who report messages in backwards speech 
The Church didn't sink the Titanic, either. Titanic No Pope

And the "cranberry sauce" wasn't even backwards! It was just slowed down tape. You can do a good imitation by simply slowing and lowering your voice.

Yeah, I never figured out how to play vinyl records backwards. My turntable always went forward whenever I tried to put the needle on the record. And I didn't wanna scratch the other side of the record by pushing it backwards. And nobody I knew did it, either. I had to take the media's word about backwards recordings.
But I've always loved George's backwards guitar solo on "I'm Only Sleeping"! And this is interesting.

People can't even hear 'em right when they're played frontwards. "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy"
I remember buying They’re Coming To Take Me Away as a 45 in 1966 from Sears. I suppose that I related to it. The B side was the A side played backwards. At the same time I bought Summer In The City by the Lovin’ Spoonful. A much better song.
Record stores were a cool place to hang out.
50-60 years ago it was all about service to the customers. Sadly those days are gone....
Can you believe they're coming out with an electric Humvee??? That I gotta see........

I bought my records at a music store. The ground story was records. Long playing records and 45s. Instruments, accessories and sheet music were sold upstairs. No recollection that store sold pianos. The piano dealer across town (then) sells pianos to this day. The only service I recall was their willingness to take my cash in exchange for records, saxophone reeds and the like.
Lee Valley tools sells a carpenter’s knife that ‘s similar to the Case knife. I have a couple and they are great. A tough knife that can take a beating.

Only ever heard the 'A' side on the radio, and that only rarely. No idea the 'B' side was backwards until now.
What I want to know is: on the 'B' side, did the Funny Farm bring him back?
looks good!
I still never get sick of that song
. I'm pretty sure I had the 45 of Summer in the City, I did have their first two or three albums and recently bought them on CD. I do remember the first two 45's I bought though, Last Kiss-J Frank wilson and The Cavaliers because of the bass beginning and Sunshine Superman-Donovan

Well I do know if you play the B side backwards you get the A side
. It was a huge hit on WORC 1310, Worcester, MA. It was actually a very cool station for a tiny local, they were playing the Beatles before they hit in the states and played a lot of songs that got banned on many stations. My ear was glued to that station when I was a kid.
I used to buy mine in the local Mart department store, why? That's where my mother and father would bring me
