Heard “Rich Men North of Richmond,” by Oliver Anthony at Universal Orlando.
Posted by FCP on 5/23/26 at 1:51 pm
Walking through the transportation hub at Universal Studios and heard Oliver Anthony belting out “Rich Men North of Richmond” over the station’s speakers. Weird because he always seemed like a niche act that I assumed did not have major cultural appeal—certainly not enough to be played there.
Of course, this group is probably his main audience (i.e., us poors who schlep the kiddos off to Orlando for vacation). Guess the old boy is (semi) mainstream these days.

The population in London is decidedly less pale than it was a decade before when we were there, but everything seemed pretty normal otherwise. I walked around in some of the lower end neighborhoods with my kids, and it actually felt safer than New Orleans. Same thing in Paris. Definitely some migration fatigue among the locals, but the actual violence—at least compared to my hometown in SELA—seems far less prevalent.
Should I be legitimately, like head on a swivel, vigilant? Or are these just isolated things?

quote:I overstated the time. It was actually about 25 years ago. Circa 2001. And, he is a prominent injury attorney who made his bones as an actual litigator--the one who everyone else would call when complex cases went to trial. I know he was knocking down $500K just as a senior associate in our firm, and the rumors suggested he was making double that on his side job. Not too long after I left, he took over as a named partner, and, based on the sheer number of billboards and TV ads, I would guess he is still over the million dollar threshold.
id bet the partners at the top 10 firms in the entire US barely cleared $1m a year in the 90s.
I call bullshite.

Worked with an attorney who was pulling low 7 figures three decades ago. He made his wife work—not because they needed the money, but because otherwise she’d just spend all day burning through his checking account.
OTOH, he got busted railing a secretary in the office stairwell, so Wife No. 1 ended up not having to work after all.

Tried a large THC gummy bear back when I lived in CA. Like maybe four/five inches tall. Big green thing that tasted terrible. Anyway, I sat there taking small bites while our driver navigated rush hour traffic in Los Angeles. Kept thinking it wasn’t kicking in, but ended up high as a goddamn kite after an hour or so.
My advice would be to start slow and give it time to kick in. Unlike smoking which gives me a high almost immediately, it seemed like the gummy took 30 minutes or more to feel anything.

Put my oldest on the bus to kindergarten 15 years ago. Just realized today that my younger kids (twins) will ride their last bus this month (due to getting their license this summer and driving their senior year).
It seems like 2 weeks ago they were all lined up at the bus stop. Passing time is brutal in its pace.

re: How You Can Stop LSU Administrators from Terminating Alumni Email
Posted by FCP on 4/18/26 at 12:07 pm to GeorgeWebber
I maintain a couple of web addresses hosted on various reseller servers. Every single domain has unlimited email accounts included in the price. The only requirement is setting them up initially. Total cost for unlimited web traffic and unlimited emails is like $10/month. Maybe less. If LSU can’t manage $120 annually plus maybe one student worker to handle user issues, they’re doing it wrong.
Trump v.1 obviously.
I would note that your parameters of "this century" would technically include William Jefferson Clinton who was President until mid Jan. 2021. I wonder where he'd rank within the rest of your list.

re: What to do about mother's cat.
Posted by FCP on 4/15/26 at 12:13 pm to prplhze2000
17 years? I’m generally in favor of cats, but that’s like 100 in human years. Quality of life is not getting better from here. Put the poor SOB to sleep.
Man, there was this trashy hottie in the trailer park nearby when I was a full-of-hormones 16 year old. She was probably 17, had a slim (gaunt?) body and beautiful big hair (this was late 1980s, so that was considered attractive). We were far apart in the socioeconomic scales, and it never went anywhere despite my best efforts, but goddamn she was hot.
I went off to college and forgot about her. Don’t know what happened with her, but I did end up meeting her granddaughter a few years ago. And, reading that sentence makes me feel old.

It won’t slow back down, so scratching your nose leads to tropical storm force winds in your face. Gotta wake up enough to turn it off and back on. Ordered a Wink bed a few months ago. I think it would be fine except for the four inch foam topper Mrs. FCP added. I’m getting closer to “falling asleep in the recliner” every night.
I've actually been half awake sometimes when she hits me and I wasn't even really snoring (was more like heavy breathing)
