Hello you neuro-zed!

The Bridge Over the River Kwai

Hard to believe that anyone is older than Keith Richards – he looks like he invented God.

Hi Betsy — has your extended family begun to arrive yet?

Aloha CT!

Teddy!
All dressed up, new name-tag – shined your shoes?

Teddy, this is going to be fun. Great for a Sunday night. thanks

Hiya Mbrain — how are the Brains tonite?

Ola, CE — what’s your addition to the list?

hey Teddy! Always a fun topic!

jet aircraft

The movie — and the bridge!

Yes, I am still in SF, but now I am all of me.

How are you tonite, usr?

Digg is definitely younger than McCain

Me.

The nuclear era…

zed is dead, haven’t you heard?

And what have you to add to the list?

Cassie’s driving grandma down tomorrow, and Texteen’s spending the whole next week with me. We all go to Dallas Friday.

The states of Alaska and Hawaii

Hello, dearie! You youngster, you!

All but one of my living family members are younger than McCain. And the one who’s older —- wouldn’t trust her to run the country either.

WWII

is granma younger than McCain?

Xerox?

We B fine, Teddy. It’s two years ago this coming weekend since the first YKos. DaddyB. always asks to be remembered to you. You?

And my neo-con twin brother!

Grandma’s under 70. Grandpa’s same age as McCain.

McCain is older than most of my antique furniture!

Teddie! Dirt is younger than McCain. When he was young there was only slime.

Older than Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging

Quit thinkin’ M.A.S.H.

Color TV

And tho my 90 year old father is older, he’s way more rational, logical and humane!

Great, thank you.
Wanted to give huge props for your hosting David Sirota’s Salon today – your introduction was a terrific glimpse into the book, persuaded me to order it.
Very nicely done.

OMG! Do you think either will survive the encounter?

Now that’s funny!

NATO

The UN

The Warsaw Pact

Red China

Pakistan

And that’s funnier!

Actually all living members of my father’s family are younger than McCain, since I am the oldest of that line.

Everything ‘cept dirt

All of the jet aircraft that McCain crashed

Lake Powell is younger than Grumpa McCain.

Shhhh! Cassie is the better driver.

FM radio

That just adds to the peril.

My contempt for Traitor Joe Lieberman knows no time. It is neither younger or older than Johnny Panama. It is eternal.

Some of my favorites:
Post It notes
Zip lock bags
White Out
The Internets (AKA — toobz)
Copiers (anyone remember carbon papers, copysettes, mimeo machines….ach, it was hard to be a teacher in those days — and that was still younger than McShame

Wow….he’s old!

My antique furniture is about 1910! Call it arts and crafts, or, as we like to say, early doctor’s office…

LOL.

Lake Powell dry lake bed coming soon.

Thank you!

It is a remarkable book — I hope folks understood when I said that I learned something on literally every page that I consider that extraordinary, as incredibly well-informed and au courant as I am! *g*

I was pleased to be asked to write the intro. The book arrived Tuesday, and it’s consumed me since.

Read it and tell your friends. And visit David often!

Hell, transistor radios!

Danny!

zat you?

;~P

The Celtic-Laker Rivalry…!

707

(also younger than McCain — the aircraft and the expression!)

Did anyone say The Pentagon?

I went through undergrad on gallons of whiteout.

radar

You did!

Also — the Jefferson Memorial.

Interstate highways

Medicare

(although I think Social Security beat McCain by a year or two)

oops – just saw 37. My bad, SD.

older than frozen orange juice concentrate

Hi Chris, Teddy, Betsy, all.

He’s older than hair spray and hair plugs.

Not, BTW, that old is perjorative. Like I said, my dad is older than McCain and I’m creeping (racing?) up. But I can think young. McCain got stuck in those bad years, I fear. Bless him, but bless us, too. No more crap!

Really?! Now, that’s old.

Although…. a monthly Social Security payment first happened in 1940.

So there’s that.

It might be helpful to know that McCain began growing older on August 29, 1936

nylons

Depends Undergarmets.

How Much things cost in 1936
Average Cost of new house $3,925.00
Average wages per year $1,713.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas 10 cents
Average Cost for house rent $24.00 per month
A loaf of Bread 8 cents
A LB of Hamburger Meat 12 cents
Studebaker Car $665.00
Ladies Swimming Costume $6.95

Things change, huh?

Neoconservatism

Gotta check with the Studebaker dealer, but I think they’ve gone up….

Hi Teddy Partridge!

Well, you’ve tempted me out of the woodwork, and I thought of a familiar and grease-spattered volume…. but, it’s really a close call.

~~The Joy of Cooking is one of the United States’ most-published cookbooks, having been in print continuously since 1936 and with more than 18 million copies sold.~~

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joy_of_Cooking

I await your perspicacious call on that one- McCain, or The Joy of Cooking?

Dana Peroxide

Modern medicine?

(depending on how you define it)

There’s nothing “modern” about McCain

Margot, my dear! Hiya!

The atom bomb

The hydrogen bomb

Napalm

Depleted uranium ordnance

Hey! Let’s not blame Panama for McCane.

And a return to the idea of real food and decent nutritian. Jeez, I grew up on beans&weanies, canned pineapple rings with cottage cheese and a marachino cherry, meat (when we had it) cooked to shoe leather, canned and canned and more canned. It’s just a marvel to go to a farmers market and buy fresh and good. And… I grew up in the Santa Clara Valley where food should have been fresh (and was.) Some old things are NOT worth preserving…and that includes aged out politicians.

Penicillin and sulfa drugs.

Let’s Dance!

“Barbara Ann” by the Beach Boys

Hey VG, nice woodwork de-lurking. I vote for the ‘62 version – so, McCain is older than the Joy of Cooking.

Some of these are mind-boggling.

Hello, VG!

I think we have to give that one to JoC, since its first publication (privately) was 1931.

But there is Womans Day magazine, as we’re focused on the domestic arts category!

North Korea

South Korea

Phylis Dyler

North and South Dakota too?

Joan Rivers!

color slides

oooops! Was going to say older than dirt but hit submit first, then Dr Dick said it better. Since i am currently interested in Texas geology i’ll say McCain is older than the Balcones Escarpment

Now that Scottie McGellin’s got a book out, I was wondering the other night what Dana Purinachow’s book will be titled. Couldn’t decide between:

“Oh. My. Gawd. Working at the White House is SOOOO Kewl!!!!!”

or

“Pigs, Missles, and Apple Pie”

older than a California antique.

Kirk, you win…
love, Chris

Hi Teddy!

Yes! And, I see you read the wiki link! ;) As I did. ;)

Now what I need to know is are “congealed salads” older or younger than McCain? ;)

Other things younger than McLame:

TV
CD
IRA
401(k)
automatic dishwashers (yea!)
disposable cameras (what an idea)
sliding screen doors (if you don’t have ‘em, you don’t know what you’re missing!)
computers so we can communicate with each other. (Does McLame compute?)

Keep it coming.

He is God’s older second cousin.

Mary, you may be interested in this: FEMA strikes again

Did you know it’s more than 1000 days since Hurricane Katrina hit?

Let’s hit it!

You know, if McCain gets elected and serves two terms (shudder)… his predecessor in the Oval Office will be younger when McCain leaves office than McCain was when he started the Presidency, and so will his predecessor’s predecessor!

Both of whom served two terms.

No, sorry, Betsy. Both 1889.

But McCain sure gave them a run for the money…

But he’s younger than me. “sniff”

The states of Alaska and Hawaii.

Bill Monroe, for crying out loud.

The state of war with North Korea.

And Eastasia

and he’s definitely older than the Balcones Fault

“Oh. My. Gawd. Working at the White House is SOOOO Kewl!!!!!”

707. ROFLMAO. As the tigers scatter for parts unknown.

The NUCLEAR bomb.

A thousand days of crapola from the craphead elite bullshitters who have succeeded in killing one city in this country and one country in the middle east. I may have to go back on my meds.

my apologies

And now I’m so late trying to catch up. Carry on!

The current Life magazine

Keith Richards?? I dunno about that, Teddy. Did anybody fact check that one?

Great list. Can’t add to it at te moment. But it got me thinking… Lemme check something.

The Islamic Republic of Iran

(note, I’m being precise here)

Bomb bomb bomb…

love to you chris – and to me it’s not a competition: it’s a collaboration.

Glad to be playing with you.

Teddy, how did you come to change your handle, if you care to explain?

no apology necessary.

Not only that, McCain is also older than Morgan Freeman, who apparently is God.

The 8-track tape player

Mercury (the car)

“DAD: How I Peter Principled My Way to A Really Great Job When My Old Boss Got Cancer Without Having To Blow Anybody”

In the fine tradition of the Esmerelda: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worl…..umanrights

Both Warren and Ned Beatty (though apparently not the sum).

1943

Hiya BFL

I love Morgan Freeman. Does that mean I really do believe in God?

I thought it was Bill Cosby. I know I heard him telling Noah how to build the ark. Even had to tell him how long a cubit was.

The first recording of an electric guitar

(the electric guitar itself didn’t beat McThusala by much)

I thought that hosting the Book Salon, I should use my real name today rather than a nom de blog. It’s not a new nom, it’s my actual name now. And will be going forward.

[Said with a spooked hush] Lenny Wilkens.

Bill Cosby

Well I’ll just have you know McCain is older than Bill Cosby.

coke!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30AVhf-ZLwM

Does this mean that you have set a date?

Social Security withholding and Social Security checks are younger than John McCain.

While the legislation is older than John McCain, the first withholding occurred several months after his birth. The first monthly checks went out over three years after his birth. BTW, Ida May Fuller, who received the first Social Security check, was younger at the time than John McCain is now.

I submitted this to ThingsYoungerThanMcCain.com a couple of weeks ago (along with Depends, Grecian Formula, and Geritol). Guess they didn’t make the cut. *sigh*

Casablanca (the film)

John McCain is older than banzai (bukkaroo version)

Not to mention both The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind.

Those sorry f*ckers…

The Reprieve study includes the account of a prisoner released from Guantánamo Bay, who described a fellow inmate’s story of detention on an amphibious assault ship. “One of my fellow prisoners in Guantánamo was at sea on an American ship with about 50 others before coming to Guantánamo … he was in the cage next to me. He told me that there were about 50 other people on the ship. They were all closed off in the bottom of the ship. The prisoner commented to me that it was like something you see on TV. The people held on the ship were beaten even more severely than in Guantánamo.”

I guess they got burnt by the rendition flights… So the next logical step… To sea…! 8-(

Nope. I was wrong. John McCain, in fact, is younger than the Hindenburg. The Hindenburg made it’s first voyage in March 1936. Ther other big gasbag entered the world in August 1936. Didn’t think that was the case. he’s not really old after all.

The Wizard of Oz (the film)

No, sorry, I wondered if that was confusing. This is my birth name.

We aren’t setting a date until we know all obstacles have been removed. The Supremes have until 6/16 to stay their previous order, as the haters have asked them to do. When marriages actually begin, we’ll set a date, I think.

Howya doin’? 1940 sounds about right. McCain does look younger than Keith, though. That’s probably what had me fooled.

Thanks for that.
In the NewsBox soon.

Musta been his daddy’s ashes that makes Keith look so old…!

[gasp!] Which kind?

Wikipedia says he’s older than Tide detergent.

The Arizona Senate, House of Representatives, and Executive Office buildings

Age is just a number, right?

I know several 80+ year olds who are more fun and energetic than some 30 year olds I know.

He’s 1 year younger than Fibber McGee & Molly but 11 years older than Kukla Fran & Ollie.

Howdy Doodie, American Bandstand, Mr. Rogers, Bonanza, Elvis (?…..) —- I pay my dues to AARP, just cuz, but I want spring in the step of the oldsters. And, for god’s sake, where is the talk about Family Values that the rightists so adore?

Ah. I understand. I am feeling rather more optimistic this time around. Given support by the Governator, the State legislature, and according to the polls a majority of the people in California, it make actually hold up.

I don’t believe that story. Never did. Last I heard he said it was true but I don’t believe him.

Older than “YES”. But “YES” still rocks.

(Tickets to see the boys at Red Rocks in August.)

Balrog is also old it seems.

Hey Teddy!

As opposed to the actual Wizard? Oh — you meant as opposed to the book!

Younger than McCain? is that still a topic?

Orson Welles’ broadcast of “War of the Worlds”. (call me trivial)

~~~Welles first gained wide notoriety for his October 30, 1938, radio broadcast of H. G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Adapted to sound like a contemporary news broadcast, it caused a number of listeners to panic. ~~~

Remember, this is Keith Richards we are talking about here. I seriously believe that he would snort just about anything.

Sorry – OT
Suzanne!

But not weerog, how’s he doing these days…?

I was impressed with the coverage of the RBC meetings. Jane’s cinematography rivals Blumensteins. You lot are a machine, and to be reckoned with.

You’re lucky she’s away… otherwise the LQQK would be forthcoming…! ;-)

OMG:

The analysis, due to be published this year by the human rights organisation Reprieve, also claims there have been more than 200 new cases of rendition since 2006, when President George Bush declared that the practice had stopped.

It is the use of ships to detain prisoners, however, that is raising fresh concern and demands for inquiries in Britain and the US.

McCain is older than the first Brooklyn Dodgers night game played in Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, 1938.

WeeRog is now 1 year old and the apple of my eye. At 47 I felt too old to be a dad again, but he cracks me up daily. Tremendous sense of the absurd, that boy. He’ll need it.

Balrog! W00t! How’s the weerog?

Sputnik I

I love it! Partridges are so beautiful!

Hi LooHoo. Hi Mommy. Garrett had his 1 yr. portraits done today. Forgot the fucking flag lapel pin at home, so I had to tell the photogs it wasn’t happening.

Teddy, did Danny Partridge really play that bass? It always looked like he was air-bassing.

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s third and fourth terms

Uh-oh, yer fact checking us…! ;-)

McCain is older than the C.I.A.

Evenin’ all !

Suz! We knew you’d be forking pissed you missed it.

We fought the the Cold War to become what we opposed: a bankrupt tyranny.

McCain is older than past Presidents’ fav things:

Teddy Bears

Jelly Beans

Pork Rinds

Monica Lewinsky

And a Drudge link for her video! Possibly the first for FDL! More than a quarter-million views on YouTube.

the United States Air Force!

Bookmarked it, thanks!

Every Aircraft Carrier ever commissioned to serve in the U.S. Navy.

Uh oh. Long and ugly history of the use of ships as prisons.

McCain is older than Light ! *g*

I beg to differ on the Teddy Bears, Petro… The first was made in honor of Teddy Roosevelt during his term in office…! ;-)

McCain is quite old but (I’m fairly certain) DNA preceded his birth ;) The discovery of the double-helix structure however … he beats.

I was going to add scotch tape but alas it preceded him by a few (1930) years.

But not older than darkness.

McCain was already born when Lou Gherig gave his “luckiest man on the face of the earth” speech.

That group would include my dad. He asked about going to see Stuart Duncan and Robert Plant. My brother found out that the good seats were $1000. and canned the idea. But Stuart will be staying at Dad’s, and I’ll get to see him, and meet his family!

older than the hills?

Thanks Buddy … I thought they were invented in the 40’s …

LooHoo, are you icing me?

(((Balrog!))) Bro, where been ya? I was so thinking of you after word of the tornado. Was it close to you?

McCain is older than Israel.

older than Silly Putty

Hi Balrog!

Think I will head off to slumber land. Take care and enjoy the snark.

And to whomever it may concern: Please get rid of those stupid pink gloves. PW?

So let’s see the little scamp.

Twinkies are older, but the first batch is still fresher.

Good evening. Have you met Balrog?

The Truman Doctrine

The Cold War

East Berlin, West Berlin, and the Berlin Wall

I am stepping away to cook some dinner and put it on the table for my hard-working fiance who just arrived home from a long day, so you all continue without me, please! But I will check in again and (of course) there are moderators about….

This is fun! I will take time to direct the attention of the person with the website to this thread, in case there are any new ideas to add to the list there.

3 miles as the crow flies. Very sad sadness for the families that got hit. We are pitching in. Miss your Loo and Hoo. Time for a class in SD.

older than Silly Putty

but with many of the same attributes.
(I should have said…)

Hey Kirk. Proud of you making the letterhead pal. You say things. The things reverberate. Keep up the good work. I read every day and am happily stunned by the greatness of FDL.

Oh boy. Now we have a chicken and egg question… Darkness or Light?

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Gone with the Wind, Of Mice & Men, The Wizard of Oz

Ask McCain, he was around when they formed

((((( Loo Hoo )))))

You were asking about him last week …

How’s Weerog ?

McCain is older than Russia.

Myanmar.

The Czech Republic.

-G

Older than vinyl records.

Totally. Heck, bring the entire famdamily if possible, and we’ll paint the town. Maybe even Mexico if you have a passport for the Weerog!

EPU’d from Siun’s thread:
From Mohammed Ibn Laith

I should let the ones who have made this possible get some rest. My thanks to them, both to my colleagues here in Irak and my colleagues who now live in exile.

My thanks to you Christina for raising your voice against the slaughter of my people.

I have left until last the most important thanks for me personally.

The foundress of this site wrote a remembrance of my brother Ali, when he was killed. I would like to give her particular thanks for this comfort.

Mohammed Ibn Laith.

Ha! Good point.

Gore Vidal’s first novel

He just got his 1 yr papers. I will post for the safety of the group. Warning: He’s a charming little Brown boy. He loves to do “tittie twisters” too. I’ll get him up tomorrow.

Sniff. Nobody wants to see my picture. Even after I got my unit lengthened and colorized my Confederate flag tat…

The DC-4 areoplane.

Gitmo

wow: thanks, Balrog. I’m just surprised every time the Lake lets me cloud up the waters.

But nothing I can write compares with caring for a new life in the world. Weerog is a lucky flame.

Pantyhose.

Just got dad’s father’s day gift ordered. Will be here by Thursday and we head north on Friday. Whew!

John McCain is older than the present interior of the White House, which he will never inhabit

(it was completely gutted and reconstructed during the Truman administration)

Good Lord. Post a picture of yourself as well, guy.

Hey Betsy, how was the swim?

McCain is older than Route 66

Good. More of a PT exercise session than a swim, but felt good.

Uh… late to the thread. Unit lengthened?

Wait, wait! Don’t tell me.

FDL has entered a new stage of life. We hoped to make a small difference. We made a biggy difference (along with our esteemed colleagues on similar sites.)

If we continue the good work, the permanent Rethug Majority will suffer. Er, whatever. People like the baddest here at FDL make a difference day in and day out.

I am so happy, but not overconfident. I’d love to have a party with all of us in attendance, but I know we need to make further gains firs.

John McCain is older than Geritol

The New Deal is younger than McCain!

That might even make a good bumper sticker

John McCain:
Older than Geritol

Yes, I did get that. But I just watched it again. Gold!

Campaign slogan?

Actually, the New Deal predates John McCain by about three years

(Wiki)

but John McCain may predate some of the New Deal programs

John McCain is definitely older than Harry Truman’s Fair Deal

well said Balrog.

g’nite pups.

nite betsy

G’nite Betsy.

Sleep tight, Betsy.

McShame: Older than Glad ware, Tupperware, Everywhere. And, I’m not an old-basher…..I’m old myself. But McCain just isn’t in the flow. He’s pandering, pontificating … putrefying. If he were still Maverick McCain, well, then maybe … but he isn’t. He needs to go back to SunCity and veg. Enough, already.

Hey Neuro glad to see you are taking your DIGG duties to heart:>)
But as for the rest of you only EIGHT PUPS dugg this Post!! What are you waiting for?? The NSA to mess with the toobz???? Digg this Post! :>)

John McCain was old enough to be elected President of the United States in 1972, 36 years ago

Tang (the drink)

Damn!
I’m such a slacker! Dugg!

McPain needs to be wearing the same badge my sweetie made me wear for my Fiftieth ” OLDER THAN DIRT“

An ugly counterpart to Siun’s message.

John McCain is older than Barack Obama’s Mama!

(now deceased, R.I.P.)

Anybody hear from Suzanne? I got a brief email saying she was at the wedding.

Great thread, Teddy! (should you revisit this thread)

And I’m only 2 years older than my daughters truly wonderful husband, so I try to avoid that kind of stuff.

John McCain is a walking rectum, like republican presidents back to 1960.

Heh, my wife couldn’t pull that one on me since she’s older than me…! ;-)

When the Cold War started, John McCain was eleven.

Still watching avocado growing. It was a Zutano … if I had a yard (especially a large yard), I’d consider trotting over to a nursery and buying a ‘cado.

(My grandparents had a tree in their back yard. They’re long dead, but the tree is still there. It was big enough to climb ten or fifteen feet up, back when Kennedy was president. Hell on the family croquet games, too: the balls would roll away from the tree and end up, well, someplace inconvenient.)

and he never got over it.

bomb, bomb, bomb…

My sourdough starter is younger than McCain. It’s old enough to run for the Senate, and it might do a better job than some of the incumbents.

James Dean was five when John McCain was born.

I caught a yonger one… She is turning Fifty this September and I have been keeping that badge in a safe place just for that day :>) I will have my revenge!!

As a former English teacher, my punctuation errors McShame me. Age?

I never had the patience to keep one going very long…!

Are all of McCains lobbyist friends younger than McCain?

LMAO

I gotta ask – does the starter have a name?

All the ones with two X chromosomes….

The avocado trees are doing well, but they’re still babies. At my old house, I had one avo tree. 40 years old or so, so really big.

I discovered that my daughter had really bad distance vision (legally blind without glasses), but the first day she got the glasses she climbed the avo tree and sang, “It’s a Whole New World”!

You’ll have to ask him.

McCain is older than the Anschluss.

Was just reading the bread chapter in Joy of Cooking today. Thought about cranking up down the AC and giving it a whirl. Haven’t baked bread in 25 years.
