 Comedians.  Present day or yesteryear.  Bunny prefers clever ones.  And you? J. P. Bunny

Mnemonics and other special ways to help you remember things.  Most of us know Roy G. Biv for the colors off the rainbow, but are there any others you know?  Anything original?  Bunny keeps forgetting where Neptune and Uranus go.   So, it’s Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and SUN. What do you use? J. P. Bunny

 No, not the person in real life. The movie. ‘No One Saw That Coming’: Hollywood Press Shocked by Melania Trump’s Box Office Performance Melania Trump,  America’s next big movie star? That’s a bit of stretch, but the First Lady has stunned the Hollywood press with the better-than-expected debut of her new documentary, aptly dubbed  Melania . The top entertainment trades are projecting  Melania  will pull in $8.1 million during its opening weekend — outperforming what the box office experts predicted and overcoming some absolutely brutal reviews from critics. https://www.mediaite.com/media/no-one-saw-that-coming-hollywood-press-shocked-by-melania-trumps-box-office-performance/ USA TODAY film critic Brian Truitt  said "Melania" (★½ out of four) doesn't quite work as a documentary BUT.................... clearly the woke crowd, the Hollywood types, the Trump haters who suffer TDS aren't going to be sway fans into not seeing the movie. ARE YOU GONNA GO SEE IT O...

  Bunny was listening to his driving CDs, when the theme for Hawaii 5-0 came up.  Realized that TV programs rarely make music that ends up on the radio, or elsewhere.   What music from TV or the movies do think are great stand alone music? J. P. Bunny

 I really really hope this is on the up and up. With interactions with people on the internet, you can never be sure if what we hear is real. BUT, because we have all been wondering what happened to Susan, I will repost an email I got this morning: Hi, This is Walter, Susan's step son who she mentioned live in California.  I am sorry to inform you that Susan took her life the day before Thanksgiving by locking herself in the garage with the cars running.  I can see from your communications that she trusted you and that is why I am informing you that she committed suicide.  Thank you for encouraging her to trudge along in life if her husband were to die.  I wish she would have listened to you closer.   The email did come from her email address . So, I replied with condolences and thought it best to drop this note to let you all know of her passing. To my authors who have her on their invite list, you can now remove her name.

 Ironically, this thread is inspired by a news item I ran across where a NATO leader stated publicly that Europe could not defend itself without the US. I thought to myself, is it true? Well, no, they CAN defend themselves without the US, but it's citizenry has gotten too comfortable, too entitled, too spoiled, to fight. Imagine the current generation accepting the life Brits had to live through during WWII with hiding in bomb shelters or surviving on food rations.  Ukrainians put the rest of Europe to shame.  Now, it's gotten bitterly cold. The number of kids I end up crossing in this weather has dropped to just a few. Most get driven. Even ones I know live just two blocks away. BUT why should our kids need to freeze when we can drive them? Yet, growing up, I never got driven to school and we lived more than two blocks away. Think of the protestors in Minnesota. The linking of arms and walking side by side to defy ICE is being replaced with screaming expletives at ICE ag...
