Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from July 26, 2024 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

UM, I was surprised they finished off the race with a 21-mile time trial instead of the traditional group pedal into Paris, ending on the Champs Elysees. The only time I can remember their doing that was a Tour title the great GREG LEMOND won. My suspicion is that many advance arrangements were already in place for the start of the Olympic Games. So the cyclists had to wrap it up out-of-town. In NICE, was it?

@DjLorraine. Yes, the "domestiques" do their difficult job pacing and protecting their designated team leader and then let the "stars" take over near the end of each leg of the race. Stage cycling is definitely a TEAM sport. They do share the prize money at the end, as I understand it.

↳ Song: "That's When I Reach For My Revolver" by "Mission ...
Can one assume that this is a reference to the oft-misquoted and misattributed "When I hear the word 'culture', I reach for my revolver"?

As we here on the comment board probably know already, the original wasn't spoken by any of the Nazis usually attributed (Himmler or Goebbels or Göring) but was a line from a play by a different Nazi, Hanns Johst, the original text being:

"Wenn ich Kultur höre... entsichere ich meinen Browning!"

So, when this particular fascist character heard the word culture, he didn't do anything with a revolver (maybe Americans substituted that, USians do love their revolvers), he rather snicked off the safety catch on his Browning pistol.

The original manages to paint an even more effectively cold and evil picture, even (or maybe especially?) because the writer was aligned with the protagonist's evil views.
