on review, metachat had a nice day, all inter-threading with references developing, a "we've got tagline" sort.
as it was a nice happy (and short) day in the mailroom, dB by at the end, watching previews on hbo of biglove, rg int'd in bill paxton. earlier at register singing And I aint seen the sunshine since I dont know when and rh praises that concert/album and I try to remember who was it that was an inmate in attendance at San Quentin concert, someone pretty big, almost want to say Willie Nelson but no.. ah Merle Haggard, I think. yes. checked and yes. telling rg later and read him from my confirming hit [Ask Metafilter] the quote from Haggard about Cash treating the guards the way the inmates wanted and rg told me about the photo of Cash flicking them off, and I found it. and now here's a bit of synchonicity (I mean, I've been looking at metachat for some many days, and..):
work anecdote: So one day, I'm talking to my then-supervisor, a white-haired Greek guy who's pretty laid back. This is the same guy who told me that one of the main reasons why there isn't a strict dress code policy here is that he knows we don't get paid a lot and it's just one way of making things easier for us data monkeys.He had a bunch of printouts of artists, musicians, etc. in his cube, including that famous picture of Johnny Cash flipping off the camera that became the basis for an ad after Cash lost one year at the Grammys. Well, one day we were talking about something, and I got really mad at him, or the situation or something. So I said to him, "No offense, but..."...and pointed to the picture. posted by TrishaLynn 31 March 15:12
