The Pond has been mired in the depths of dinosaurdom when it comes to computer access. Maybe it goes hand in hand with my being a relic from the Pleistocene Age in other regards as well. I still enjoy listening to the Fab 4 [ chronicled many a time in these forays ] and watching the old classic movies from yesteryear. [ ditto ]
And on our cable service you can watch free movies. I am currently perusing memory lane by watching "Bye, Bye Birdie." Adapted from a Broadway play back in the day. It was a tossup between Birdie or "Bridge on the River Kwai" but we opted for the former. Why? Because it stars one of me favourite femme fatales, the red-haired Ann Margaret. Always had a thing for red heads sans freckles, of course. It also stars Janet Leigh from "Psycho" fame who just recently passed away in 04. Her hair is coal black in this one. Hitchcock always had a thing for blondes. The proof in the pudding: Eva Marie Saint, Kim Novak, Vera Miles, Grace Kelley, Tippi Hedron, and Janet just to name a few.
Birdie is a spoof on Elvis' induction into the army. Seems I had the soundtrack as a kid. It's a good bet cos I recall most of the lyrics.
But let's get into the meat and potatoes portion of my tale. The Pond now has hi-speed internet connection. Why didn't we do this earlier? Click and voila. It don't get no better. Switching from one liberal forum to another in nano seconds is unbelievable. Which allows me to keep up- to-speed on the current Bush-bashing.
Well, even tho the Pond is still living his Cro-Magnon days in pterodactyl splendor, new advances have come along to pique him out of the doldrums. Liberals. Peck away. There is more time now on the Pond.
farewell and adieu, v.c.
P.S. And Farewell and adieu to Johnny Carson. On your way up to the pearly gates, don't forget to take the fork in the road.
P.S.S. Everything is Kitty, er, Rosie.

Hot dog!
Now you can enjoy the wonders of streaming video and sound without the pauses that come from dial-up.
That, plus you can use the internet while somebody else is using the phone. I'm still amazed by the magic.
But hey, you don't have to tolerate a bunch of liberal ideas just because I'm your buddy. From what I can find, pro-Bush, pro-military, conservative sources have cornered good writing, clear (if mean) thinking and civility. I don't think liberals coined the words "warblog" or "milblog". And it seems that Clinton-bashing is as stylish now as it has ever been.
As they say in the kitchen, "Go ahead on!"
Hoots, As John Lennon once sang in "Nobody Loves You When You're Down And Out": "It's all show biz."
Believe it or not some of my best friends are white, er, liberal so it's all good.
Btw, I have been intrigued by something you wrote on your profile page: "A career in food servicee had me working while others enjoyed a social life...."
We foodservice people and other professions never get enough credit for providing a service to the customers. Working weekends, nites, and holidays. There should be a law [ shirley, a democrat would pass one ] requiring guests to be on their best behavior when eating out. No rowdy kids and no hassling the management.
Nurses, doctors, firemen, police, etc. included.
But hi-speed is da bomb. v.c.
