    What's the joke here?

    If you really can't understand I don't imagine that explanation will help.

    I have an idea what you made an attempt at... But unfortunately it completely fell flat.

    The black people steal joke is funnier when they're not black men with more more than you'll ever see. Just saying

    Mixed with the context of this board as well I guess

    As the political storm brews a dust storm it will settle with mushroom clouds and death. I just hope I get to see my oldest grandkids drive my '56.

    What do you see in the future for mankind? Do you have hope or am I dillusional?

    OK, One Post, you were the first to respond to my first ever post on the Browns Board so you get a poetry prize. It’s my belief that most people will go through life never having a poem (either written or spoken) dedicated to them. Well, you are safe, cuz this one’s for you.

    I’ve been on to this guy for a while, true freaking genius and his politics should cause a ruckus on this board. I suggest reading the poem then visiting his Wikipedia page. I really can’t summarize what an amazing life Archibald MacLeish had.

    Archibald MacLeish (1982-1982)

    Here are a few high points:

    • Studied at Yale, member of Skull and Bones Society, graduate work at Harvard Law and edited Harvard Law Review
    • First an ambulance driver then an artillery captain in WWI
    • Left his law firm in the 20s and moved as an expatriate to France as an avant-garde poet, hung with Picasso, Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, you name it.
    • Wrote for Fortune magazine upon his return to US, then was appointed the first Librarian of Congress by FDR. He completely reorganized the library and started the Poet Laureate Award process.
    • Assisted with the development of the new "Research and Analysis Branch" of the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency.
    • During World War II served as director of the War Department's Office of Facts and Figures and as the assistant director of the Office of War Information, and was heavily involved with propaganda.
    • Persecuted by J Edgar Hoover and Joseph McCarthy after the war for allegedly being a “fellow traveler” with communists/socialists (in spite of war service and after having helped create the CIA basically.)
    • 2 Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry and one for Drama. Talented guy.

    Here’s MacLeish’s take on your post, One Post:

    The End of the World

    Quite unexpectedly, as Vasserot

    The armless ambidextrian was lighting

    A match between his great and second toe,

    And Ralph the lion was engaged in biting

    The neck of Madame Sossman while the drum

    Pointed, and Teeny was about to cough

    In waltz-time swinging Jocko by the thumb,

    Quite unexpectedly the top blew off:

    And there, there overhead, there, there hung over

    Those thousands of white faces, those dazed eyes,

    There in the starless dark, the poise, the hover,

    There with vast wings across the cancelled skies,

    There in the sudden blackness the black pall

    Of nothing, nothing, nothing -- nothing at all.

    Keeping the Golden State Warriors out of the White House would cut-down on security costs from theft assuming that the Golden State Warriors live their lives as dirty as they play ball. Take a deep breath kids.

    Another clue is that I wouldn't have said it about the Cleveland Cavaliers who, I assume, also employ a lot of negroes.

  • well, as the duly appointed special decider, this will take some time...I have to investigate

    whether or not Woody had communications with the russians, and consider the possibility

    that he may have obstructed poetic justice...completely impartially, of course...in my best impression

    of a liberal judge....

    and I won't flop, pull jerseys, knee Irving in the leg, hammer Lebronco in the head and claim foul and try to get

    two foul shots after claiming the warrior player was ...."headbutted" and pay off referees to act like wwf refs like Dishonesty Curry and the

    Big Actors did..

    okay, Steve wins. It was a good joke, I got it, agreed with it. 🙂

    The Cleveland Caveliers played the Golden State Warriors for the nba championship. Steve is a Cavs fan and was being quite jovial about some fake news that the Golden State team would visit the White House; our nations capital.

    You see, when a professional team wins a championship...most of them visit the White House and when it was Obammy in office he would suck them dry,

    If anyone has been following the Browns board looks like they are trying to put together a bout between Zombo and Ghoolie. Maybe Cleve and Die-hard could-be on the card?

    Love that year Chevy.

    Is the gas tank spout behind the tail light? What motor? 327?

    Yes behind the left tail light. Originally it had 283 but now a 350. It's got chrome everything under the hood but is a cruiser not a hot rod really. It looks mean and the brakes are rough you have to stand on them. It's been in the family for years.
