The Era -- Day By Day

[LizzieMaine]

And in the Daily News...

Yeah, but what happens when he turns one? Do they send him back to the pound?

"Whoever gets me will have to pay me plenty!" Well, he won't be coming to Brooklyn...

"That's OK, it isn't meat. They just take a bowl of soybeans and whisper 'Texas' over it..."

Ah, good old Chops. Remember when he held Raven hostage and threatened to kill Pat?

"What a brat!" -- Leonora.

Skeez loves birds. Every night he dreams of eating fried chicken.

"Oh, I know better than to stay in one place any too long. Old warrants and all that..."

Meet Estelle Glotzman from Greenpoint.

If you wash your own hankies, you can get away with anything.

Trust me on this, it doesn't work that way at all.

And in the Worker...

For pride, for glory, for team spirit and civic honor, but most of all -- for $2000 a man.

An' not'em kinda places t'at's fulla bookies an' numbehs runnehs, an' cheap chiselehs an' p'lice charactehs! Good CLEAN places run by hones' people like Morrie an' Lil. People like Ma!" "Ah," ahs Joe. "Yeh," nods Sally.

We only see what we want to see.

Good to see the prices freed up. Sure they'll spike immediately, but give it time and most things get cheaper as supply increases to meet (tee-hee) demand.

Shirley gives her boyfriend a close examination.

She's awesome. Her brain is always working.

"A strange and capable person." You never want to get an annual review like that.

Do you have a story you'd like to share with the group?

*********************************************************

Yeah, but what happens when he turns one? Do they send him back to the pound?

Let's worry about that in nine months; we need to get oxygen to the hospitals now. Postwar America sometimes feels like the 1970s to me where you couldn't even keep up with all the strikes.

Chickens are birds in name only.

Caraway caught my eye. DA Gehrig's decision not to include Logan's **** makes
absolutely no sense, and giving an hour opening while attempting allude under a trial judge
equally erroneous approach; although the learned judge allowed and Weeks didn't object,
which leads my assuming he decided to play the hand dealt prosecution. Still, an hour is
far too long for simple burglary and Gehrig did a lousy shuffle for starters.

Terry here acts too chaste waste civilian. He opened with a reliable Ruy Lopez, mentioned
the old man and Chopsticks; getting his bishop and knight out, but Jane went full bore
Sicilian Defense mode counter. Jane shot his azz down like a slow duck dragging its tail end
before an Ithaca light 12 gauge pump flying over Lake Woebegone.

("It's oveh," sighs Alice, glancing down at the paper spread on her lap. "It's fin'ly oveh." Sally nods, and watches New Jersey rumbling by. "Yeh," she exhales. "Heeh's hopin'.")

(Mrs. Ginsburg looks up from her paper, and sees her husband, gazing out the window across 63rd Street. "Aundzer zun," she sighs, "vet vider zayn in der heym?" "Ya," nods Mr. Ginsburg, his fingers flexing slowly over the bowl of his pipe. "Bald vet er zayn aheym...")

("And none can say I did not do my part. Every Tuesday night without fail I listened to Bob Hope!")

(Make one mistake and it'll follow you for the rest of your life.)

(Glass slingbacks? Never mind the ropes, imagine how they cut up your ankles...)

("Hmph, 1847 Rogers Brothers.")

(You gotta admit that's a zippy car. How'd he rate it?)

(It pays to advertise!)

(Hey Janie, this gal stole your sheared muskrat!)

And in the Daily News...

Sometimes you don't need pictures.

Judge Leibowitz is a man of conviction.

Only a month into fall, and, you know, people are already sick of it.

You seldom meet anyone in show business with such refreshing candor.

Heart of gold, at the spot price.

"O' course, you're not as great as Bill Slagg. He was really great."

Close enough.

Yeah, and Jack Benny is thirty-nine.

At least he didn't say "hubba hubba."

It's all in how you look at it.

 

[LizzieMaine]

And in the Worker...

At least "Big Joe's Chickwich" is back.

Lunch today is on Mardo.

"It's oveh," sighs Alice, glancing down at the paper spread on her lap. "It's fin'ly oveh." Sally nods, and watches New Jersey rumbling by. "Yeh," she exhales. "Heeh's hopin'."

Well, at least we ended for good the antisemitism sickness.

I guess I wish he had been hanged, but I've never gotten too worked up about Goering "cheating" the hangman. He's dead: good.

*********************************************************

Wonderful sentiment, if only we all hadn't fallen so short in the ensuing eight decades.

"Hey, honey, do you know where the Eagle's sport section is? I can't find it."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were done with the paper so I used it to wrap up some wet garbage."
"No big deal. Just wanted to read about the World Series, but honestly, I've have enough baseball already. I just thought I might have dropped the section somewhere."
"Reasonable thought."
"What?"
"Nothing, dear."

Hey Janie, this gal stole your sheared muskrat!

"Sable, but haters gonna hate. That's on them."

Judge Leibowitz is a man of conviction.

It's a nice thing to do, unless he commits another crime and then does the judge of conviction have to face the victims? There are no easy answers, but leniency can have a big cost too.
