As a professor myself, I really liked his style. He somehow couldn't turn his talents toward patching a simple hole in the S.S. Minnow, but he could cobble together a TV from washed up parts and coconut shells and did all sorts of other handy things which made him popular with Ginger and Mary Ann. Clearly he was a man with his priorities in order.

Holy cow. That is surprisingly shocking. I did grow up with the castaways. And to answer the next question: Mary Ann. Absolutely.

Mary Ann for a great wife, Ginger for a great mistress.
Oh damn, not in France...

The French president doesn't have a wife, he has an "official consort". They're just weird over there. Wonder who the last bachelor POTUS was?

James Buchanan.
BTW Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) and Ginger (Tina Louise) are still with us, the last of the cast.
Answered my own question. There were six presidents that were bachelors entering office. Some of them were widowers, and some would wed while in office.
But one never wed. He was possibly only gay president. More on that in a sec...
There's only been one Vice President who never wed. He was William Rufus De Vane King. He was described as "effeminate and called him 'Miss Nancy' ". After serving as the 13th VP, King would end up leaving his faithful roommate, with whom he had lived for years, to become the US Minister to France. After some time apart, that lonely roommate would write, calling him his soulmate.
That roommate was our 15th president, James Buchanan.

Is it just me or does he look strikingly similar to John Lithgow?

Wow! He does. I wonder if they have familiar voices?

Interesting. How likely do you think it would be to have a gay president now in the 21st century?
Is that openly or closeted? I think the odds of a closeted ones are plenty high, and higher that it wouldnt be as big a deal if they were found out. As for an openly gay one? To not talk too deeply into politics or religion, I think that trends will be for that not being publicly accepted for at least a few decades.

I suppose the lack of CNN, Fox News, and Twitter in 1856 would have helped keep things more discreet. The shame of these technologies is that they tend to amplify the idiosyncracies versus detail the core nature of people. Back in the day people could craft their image in written words and (I think) express themselves more clearly. Now all we see are the soundbites and Twitter feeds.
Anyway, steering into dark waters. To keep passedpawn's blood pressure under control, here is some self-moderation - Mary Ann in short shorts:
I will accept that. John Lithgow for VP 2016.
Now where is my coconut and bamboo time machine?
Why not both together, and a little Gilligan for the ladies

Actually, I've changed my mind. Mary Ann for great wife AND mistress.
My goodness you are bored tonight. And, you keep giving Lovey short shrift.

Bored and on HBT, what are the odds?
Lovey was probably fine for the previous generations, bless her. But Mary Ann, she is ageless. Sally Field is of the same cut of cloth. Cute little hottie in the Smokey and the Bandit.
I had the honor of working with most of the cast for one day in late 1988 or early 1989, when I was a photographer years and a lifetime ago. Jim Backus had just passed and I don't remember Tina Louise being there. It was a hairstylist convention. One of my favorite gigs.

Crazy. My dad was a pilot and flew the Beatles on a commute between gigs. He said the door on the plane suddenly opened and Ringo almost fell out. Great story, don't know how true.
Glad he didn't fall out. Drummers are always at risk (See Spinal Tap).

We all need somebody who cares about us. Just like we all need people to care about. That tiny little thing is why people survive, why we marry, why we become loving parents and look forward to the future. We all need something we can't provide alone. Look around at some of the happiest people in this world. They aren't happy because they have a lot of money, wealth, cottage on the beach, perfect house... etc. (Okay, that probably wouldn't be so bad) They are happy because they have a family. They have people to love and care about and, that love and caring is returned.
Man, that's more than money can ever buy.

Very deep and true "random thought" there Dan. Thanks for reminding me that I am a lucky man even though I have very little of that money or wealth kind of stuff.
PS: You have US at the very least
My vote has always been for Mary Ann. After school TV, what a fond memory: some of my favorites...
Dear Brew Friends,
Need to brag some...todays weather high was 74, at 550pm its 72. Forecast shows highs of 70 plus for the next week. Down side, no rain. Its freakin middle of January! Trees finally dropped leaves, spent some of the afternoon raking them up.
That is all. Resume normal activities.

Hello late niters! Hope all is well. Like you all, I'm working a lot these days. I hate it, but it pays the bills.
Like Dan says, keep your family close. I think about everything that has swept by in my life. Everything did sweep by - it's all gone. Nothing from my past is still with me. Only the family. Do everything you can to keep the family close and happy.
For your late nite soundtrack, Griffin House.

Hey Pappy!
Ive had a few many, if that matters.
In Home Brew Town. Which I truly love. Who would you be, what part you play? I vote town mayor, at least.

George Forman
Great boxer
Great applicance!
I really like the GF electric grill I have. Not much time and easy clean up the George Forman grill is a single man's dream when it comes to grilled food.
Think I'd get fired as an advetirser... probably. Bu the GF grills are good in a pinch.

Did it go out drinking with my mind and my wits? I haven't seen them for a while either.
Sounds yummy. I like my mustard like I like my women, sweet and spicy.
I smoked some fairly cheap bacon with apple wood. It came out really nice. A little more subtle on the smoke then I would have liked. Next time I'll do two batches of wood in the hopper in the smoker.
Yup yup. The extra pressure in a pressure canner or pressure cooker raises the boiling point of the water so you can get everything hot enough to kill off the botulism spores.And that is a good thing. Right?. I remember reading your thread, was it here or somewhere else? Doesn't matter..
Somebody chimed in you could get botulism food poisoning from canning turkey.. Obviously that didn't happen cause you are still here. (got to admit, that particular post had me a little worried for you)
Glad all worked out well. Cheers to you for being a brave explorer on the food frontier.
It is unsafe to water bath can meat.
FYI, a big water bath or pressure canner is perfect if you want to bottle pasteurize. Without the lid they are basically just big pots with either a wire rack or false bottom in them.
Hmm, biology is much like engineering or logistics in some ways. I wonder what someone without those skills has gained in exchange?Time for a completely sober post.
Computers are making us dumb. I have a HP calculator that has thousands of equations built in to it. I suppose I could plot a trajectory to the moon and back just with my HP.
So why is a calculator that has all of the abilities that mine does make me dumber? Because we do not have to think anymore just input the variables and hit enter. Instead of taking a equation and paper and pen to task for a great afternoon of thinking we have turned to having everything solved for us.
I love math I really do. It saddens me to think that much of the critical thinking that used to be involved with solving issues has disappeared. I think back about the skunkworks during the time that the blackbird was built. They built that bad boy with a slide rule and had to not only know the equation but understand how it worked. Those boys understood math
Please do not get me wrong as I know that many fine folks still love equations and try to understand WHY they work. But those of us who do think that way are sadly becoming fewer and fewer as more people depend on the machine to spew out the answer.
Getting off my pile of equations now and resuming a normal posting mode
True Dan. Things can make us comfortable. People make us happy.Pics?

I've had family visiting for a while. It was a good visit, but my house is not even close enough to big enough for everybody.
So, apparently it's not a good idea to put gas side connectors on the liquid side posts. This one stuck so bad I destroyed it taking it off. Fortunately, I had a spare.
