Mike du Jour by Mike Lester for July 03, 2024

Blofeld reboot with a dog sounds interesting.

I remember Nehru jackets, back in the 60’s….

Ok Mike, I looked you up. Wikipedia says you were born March 3, 1955 (age 69). Many people might think that’s old, but … some of us do not!

So, did you leave WashPost voluntarily, or was there a housecleaning, (right-sizing, whatever)?

Good morning y’all! Yeah, 69 sounds young. But I think all politicians should retire at 70.

_" You are old, father William," the young man said,

“And your hair has become very white;

And yet you incessantly stand on your head —

Do you think, at your age, it is right? "_

NO! not a Nehru jacket! That’s what his uncle was wearing when he was eaten by cannibals.

If Mike is old, what about the dog and cat?

I NEVER liked Nehru jackets

I was cool at least one of the two times I wore a Nehru jacket. In the same week.

Mike’s tie and suspenders look pre-dates the Nehru jacket by eons. I recall it being the “old man look” on shows when I was a kid…about the time the Nehru jacket was the “young and hip look” on the shows. Don’t recall that I ever saw anyone in a Nehru jacket in real life.

Maybe Mike just needs to copy what the hipster influencers on tiktok are wearing this week…that would be good for a laugh…

The dog and cat have already passed their “sell by” dates.
