Arthur Lintgen is a groovy guy !

I can identify and kind of music by analyzing the grooves on a vinyl record, using a phonograph needle to help in tracking the groove.

Arthur’s skill is impressive, but I hope he has a day job.

Unless the Album is being played by a HipHop artist scratching an Album

The Yixing Textile company has way too much time on its…umm…legs?

A story about a guy in jeans:

A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who’s dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.Saint Peter addresses this guy, “Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?”

The guy replies, “I’m Joe Cohen, taxi driver, of Noo Yawk City.”

St. Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver, “Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

The taxi driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it’s the minister’s turn. He stands erect and booms out, “I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Calvary for the last forty-three years.”

St Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, “Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

“Just a minute,” says the minister. “That man was a taxi driver, and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?!”

“Up here, we work by results,” says Saint Peter. “While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed.”

Finally Godzilla gonna wears some pants eh.

Yeah, he’s not peeking at the record label of course.

That was a sharp decision about the cacti. LOL!

I wonder what the poor cacti did to get banned? Perhaps stage a stick-up at the bank, or was it just for being a real prick and needling the public officals?

On this day in History

Nov. 26, 1991

Condoms are handed out to thousands of NY High School students.

Next Time: Stay tuned for “Arthur Gets A Life.”

The Germans have always been prickly people. I guess they got jealous.

I’m going to be that guy and point out that Arthur is only analyzing one groove that goes round and round and…

Can Arthur Lintgen ‘read’ the grooves of any kind of music OTHER than classical? If not, that’s a very curious thing unto itself.

Hey,Lintgen—-good luck with “Louie,Louie”.

Arthur Lintgen’s got his groove on.

According to reports, Plettenberg mayor Ulrich Schulte banned all cacti plants from town halls, schools, and nurseries after a man injured himself on a cactus in a school building. The Mayor also reportedly defended this new rule by saying, cacti could “cause ugly injuries”.

My guess is that people would get pricked by the cactus and sue the town!

So sad news, dear fellow commenters. I just saw that the brother of our friend “JoshHere”, announced Josh’s death in Joshs profile.

Josh’s last comment was 5 months ago on “Dark side of the Horse” on June 24, 2024 if someone wants to send something to his family.

With tears, Silberdistel

well, doing that he can read the label to, so…

Maybe someday, someone will identify URLs from looking at QR codes.

Two Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident.

A woman is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says “Two Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident.”

The woman starts crying, sobbing she says to her husband, “That’s horrible!!! So many men dying that way!”

Confused, he says, “Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is always that risk involved.”

After a few minutes, the woman, still sobbing, asks, “How many is a Brazilian?”

That picture of those giant jeans makes me think Gulliver’s tearing around, buck naked!
