Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Your information, sir: Crop (anatomy) - Wikipedia

And I need a raise. :greedy:

"Sticks in my crop" just doesn't sound right. That seems to imply that something is stuck in my corn, beans, rutabagas, or other crop. Is it a tractor that's stuck? If in fact you mean crop as a body part, having a tractor stuck in there would be inconvenient to say the least.

It's apparent you have made no improvements to the English language. As for a raise we will discuss during your performance review. :laugh:
 
Elvis sell out? Nah... He just out and out stole Big Mama Thornton's hound dog and Carl Perkins blue suede shoes!
Sell-out was in reference to Bob, not Elvis.

Neither of them sold-out, they just grew, developed, added, expanded, etc., their ouvre (am I using this word correctly?). It was the public who cried foul, not them.

understood

I was there too :cool:
 

I used to draw those in black or shades of blue ink and gave them to people. It was a time consuming process, one slip and it's done for.

I was inspired by fractals in nature found in leaves and trees. Earth's Most Stunning Natural Fractal Patterns. I'm humbled by the complexity of creation.

Bob said, the times they are a changing.

Rather than ask for permission, it's easier to do what you want and then ask for forgiveness later.

 
Stumbled across this. Geez. I volunteer at the school and donated a paltry sum for a few years and they haven't even named a bathroom for me.

Opinion: It's time to chisel the big names off museums' walls - CNN

I've seen this happen a few times. A wealthy family trust donates land or a building for a school, or a hospital, and lend their name to the facility. There are legal agreements signed at the time. Many years later, the managers (or the government) step in and says we're going to close the building and sell it to our developer friends for high end condos. We're all going to make a lot of money. The family heirs step in and say hold on a minute. If it isn't used for the agreed upon purpose, everything reverts back to the family, so says the legal documents. Sounds reasonable, it doesn't matter if it's been 100+ years.

I have seen schools take down names on buildings and put up new ones with the name of laters big name donors. This has to come with the consent of the original heirs and legal agreements.

Same holds true for some plaques in museums. Activists don't feel that they need to respect the original intent or even the law to get what they want.

Do you think that the "Adolf Hitler Museum of Everyone Else's Art" would fly today?
To the victor go the spoils...it was part of Germany's history at one point.
Just for the sake of argument.

All money in a capitalist system is dirty.
 
This is true. In fact, I'm starting a service wherein I'll be happy to take anyone's old dirty money and dispose of it in an ecologically approved manner.:)
???
The money I make is honest and equals compensation for my hard work.

The big money that gets your name attached to museums and ball parks ain't clean, nowai.
