Donald Trump Donates Proceeds of His R/E Game "to AIDS and the Homeless" - 1989
The Recorder, Greenfield, Mass., Wednesday, February 8, 1989
Trump unveils:
'Trump — The Game'
NEW YORK -- Deal-making developer Donald Trump has found something else to put his name on: a new board game similar to what else — Monopoly.
Trump appeared Tuesday with representatives of Milton Bradley Co, at a Trump Tower news conference to unveil Trump — The Game".
"Trump" is somewhat like Parker Bros.'s Monopoly in that the player with the most money wins. But the Trump "T" has replaced Monopoly game pieces like the shoe, the thimble and the iron,, and the highest Trump denomination is $100 million instead of $500.
And unlike Monopoly, the new game features pictures of Trump the man on the money, game board, playing cards and the box.
"It's a much more sophisticated game than Monopoly," Trump said. "I like to play Monopoly — I've played it all my life, in many forms".
Capitalists ages 12 and older are invited to "share in the exciting high-stakes risk-taking I get to do every day. ... If you are clever, aggressive and cut the best deals, you can earn millions ...even billions of dollars. Just remember. Play to win or not at all!"
Trump said his proceeds from the $25 game, which" will hit toy-store shelves this spring will go to causes like cerebral palsy, AIDS and homeless.

Let the River Run - Carly Simon - Working Girl - 1988
I miss the old Car Ferry Boats. No car boats with use of the car space since 911. And the Bottom Deck the Smoking Deck until about 1990. What a blow. All the dregs came up to the saloon deck wit snob me lol. They were steel of course, with lots of varnished wood church pew like seats and black marbleized battleship linoleum. Painted inside with government issue battleship gray paint and white. The new Boats suck. All shiny and steel seats and store bought exit signs.
My 3 seconds of fame or my doppelganger 0:19-0:22. Not me I think, I don't remember shaving on the boat or that my glasses were that thick. But I was that ruggedly handsome. lol
And let's not forget Kevin Spacey's breakout sexual predator scene on music video 1:05-1:08.
The script was a rip of fake junk-bond era, non-reality. But all the background NYC stuff a nostalgic historic slice of the old Apple. And a historic record so to speak.
The scenes in the #7 WTC with the polished elevator doors a tragic reminder of 911. Of things gone wrong with America. And tragedy etc. "Come the New Jerusalem"? RIP etc.
Whatever. :-)

Leo Sayer - When I Need You
When I Need You
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be travelin' a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be travelin' a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh, I need you
When I need love
I hold…
I hold…

Whistling tunes that you know and love so

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
Its precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog that walked the old land
Ev'ry flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows
Would cry for joy
Joy

Kenny Nolan - I Love Dreaming
I Like Dreamin'
I like dreamin' cause dreamin' can make you mine.
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine.
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight.
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light.
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine.
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight.
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light.
I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine.
We've walked along St. Thomas beach a million times.
Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissing in the sand.
Side by side, the tide rolls in.
I'm touching you, you're touching me.
If only it could be.

10cc The Things We Do for Love
The Things We Do for Love
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love
Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And…

NRA Branded a Domestic Terrorist Organization by San Francisco Board of Supervisors
NRA Power Couple - Susan and Wayne LaPierre |
San Francisco passes resolution calling NRA "domestic terrorist organization"
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday calling the National Rifle Association a "domestic terrorist organization." The resolution also urges local organizations to stop doing business with the gun rights group.
"The leadership of National Rifle Association promotes extremist positions, in defiance of the views of a majority of its membership and the public, and undermine the general welfare," the resolution says.
"The National Rifle Association through its advocacy has armed those individuals who would and have committed acts of terrorism."

Old Geezer Cited Again By Uncivil Moron Robots in the Age of PCBS
I have just been cited for hate speech by FB on a comment I made to a friend regarding Chinese Tariffs and quite frankly in my characteristic Sarcastic Manner. I have often said to dumb ***** to their faces and in forum and under my real name that Sarcasm - it takes intelligence to understand it or appreciate it. Of the comment sent to me and sited regarding Chinese Tariffs to a friend, I no doubt did have the door open to the world and not closed to friends. So I guess it is easier to share nasty comments among friends and that is okay with FB? That I made the comment over 24 hours ago, I doubt that a robot caught my hate speech, that some other robots in some other formerly behind the Iron Curtain countries caught it to read and report my comment(s). Two sore points in the comment, one using a comedic use of words regarding an Asian race setup and members of hell, one I heard in comedic/sarcastic since my youth and of recent usage too in recent memory towards our political enemies, or maybe it was the comment within a comment about our Fearless Leader having **** for brains. I apologize to my friend and or friends and will not be commenting in the future in this citizens' gulag of free speech known as ********.
Big Brothers are alive and Well.
Where is my bottle of Victory Gin?
(I use the word "again" in the title as in this "brave" new world, my use of personal and I thought inoffensive insights or terms of comment are not suitable for monolithic "morality police" robots here now and in other high tech virtual town squares in the recent past - I again sin most grievously against the NEW PC (bow your heads!) - just another means to ween us old folks out of mainstream, albeit modern, thought and society and ignore our lifetimes of real life experience etc.? The HIGH TECHNOLOGY is our ALL.)
