  • The ‘Gary Bears’ has a nice ring to it
    Big JohnB Big John

    the mockups of the hammond location on wolf lake by the illinois/indiana state line are pretty funny if you know the reality of the area.

    There's another proposed site near me, in Portage, Indiana, about 10 miles into the Indiana Dunes National Park, that is literally across a boat channel from Cleveland Cliffs steel mill -- one of the most god-awful stinky mills I've ever seen.

    Good luck with that proposal. They'd have to shut down the mill if winds were out of the NNE.

    The portage location is accessible by the south shore railroad commuter line though.... goes right by it.

  • A new Grindr ad just dropped
    Big JohnB Big John

    @Daniel as if there is only 1 std out there too! smh

    My rule of thumb during the "scourge" was to ASSUME that people were HIV positive and contagious and DIDN'T KNOW IT, which took the judgement out of things.

    Didn't get laid much but oh well.

  • I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords (2026)
    Big JohnB Big John

    I like it. I wonder about it however. They are saying now that AI schemes and tries to outsmart programmers who want to shut them down or erase them for maintenance or other purposes. It allegedly bargains, blackmails and/or otherwise tries to "get its way" leading people to think there may be some sentient quality or sentient emulation going on. No one really knows because no one really can really define sentient.

  • For Ax - a nice arrangement of a song you play
    Big JohnB Big John

    @Axtremus No I retired from that several years ago. I've been a church organist of late although I miss trucking.

    I'll share some organ vids from time to time. Hope you are well.

    I'll tell Rach On! I said hi to you.

    Big JohnB Big John

    I loved this song when I heard you play it and learned all about it and the artist. It's in my "memorized repertoire" these days although not with the flourishes and broken chords you used so effectively, but it gets the point across.

    Don't know if I got the code right so I'll post a raw link too:

    George Vee posts a groaner pun on FB almost every day.

    here's today from his page:

    "People who confuse the word "burro" and "burrow" don't know their ass from a hole in the ground."

  • Musical Interlude — Dick Hyman
    Big JohnB Big John

    Wow. What amazing playing. sounds good on my laptop too -- which doesn't have very good speakers!

    I moved a LOT of Masons.

    The company that used onboard cranes to load/unload -- I'll never forget the groaning of the crane motor as it would lift a big Mason off the ground, and how the air suspension would momentarily sag.

    Or, when unloading, once it was on the ground, the trailer would jump up and you'd hear a bunch of air hissing out of the pressure relief valve on the air suspension. And from just ONE piano. The only other time that would happens was when a forklift would leave the trailer.

  • Croutons, yea or nay? (Corollary to soup thread)
    Big JohnB Big John

    I rarely eat them but if they are large, like in a restaurant, I will put them on a saucer and treat them like bread.... maybe dip them in olive oil or something.

    @Steve-Miller very nice. Gotta love our real estate prices here in the heartland. I say that as today is the first day above 32 in over a month.

    So there's a reason -- but spring summer and fall are really nice.
