I think, without knowing...it's been so long since I've listened to it ( I'm going to have to find my cassette copy of it and play it soon) my fav,. would be Flash.

It probably wouldn't be noticed, because when you say it out loud, it's usually undecipherable between patty and paddy.

In Ireland, Paddy is a very common familiar name for people called Patrick (which is the Anglicized version of the name Pádraig). That's why St. Patrick's Day is normally called Paddy's Day (never call it Patty's Day to an Irishman!). The Irish also have a sense of humor about Paddy wagons - for over 20 years there's been a Dublin-based company offering bus tours of Ireland that goes by the names Paddywagon Tours. They have green buses with the name plastered down the side in big letters.

Forgot to mention it looks like the lady next door is going to be one of those long haul Covid cases. She's still suffering effects from it and the minor stroke it caused.

Officially we got 12.8 inches at the Airport weather station but outside my front door is just 9 inches, majority of it Thursday. The one local tv station is now running an ad with pics of the snow "We don't want to alarm you just inform you". Yet Tuesday they were saying "This is the big one folks, could be the biggest one in history. We could see 22+ inches." They're not saying anything about how far off their predictions were.
My dad finding out that I have a snowblower turned out worse than I thought so now I'm thinking about getting rid of it so I don't get called every time we get a little snowfall. Friday the elderly lady that lives next door to him wanted me to clear the 2 inches that fell after I cleared her driveway Thursday afternoon. I just shoveled it instead of getting the snowblower out of the garage and going through the whole startup procedure and waiting for it to warm up and anyways I left the key to it at home. My dad seen me shoveling and came over and gave me 10 minutes of grief because I wasn't using the bleeping blower, I turned my music back on and went back to shoveling and he eventually figured out I wasn't listening anymore and went back home. Turns out he didn't clear a path to get the trashcan out and wanted to use the snowblower and I said no. After I got done with the neighbor I shoveled a path for his stupid trashcan and instead of a thank you I got "what'd you get the snowblower for if you're not going to use it". I get home Friday and tell the wife I'm just going to sell the dang thing so she's pissed at me after we got in a fight about it....so yeah it's been a great weekend . I ended up adding a shot of whiskey to a bottle of Jones RootBeer that night.

I didn't get to see any of the action, but it sounds a mess. I'll have to read up on what they were trying to achieve.
F1 wanted to increase the number of sprint race qualifying events from three to six this year, saying that they increased audience figures and income, but several teams wanted the budget cap increased before agreeing, so they'll probably only be three again this year. I can't say that I was a huge fan of them.
There's only just over a month to the start of the 2022 F1 season, and I'm not feeling any of the usual excitement and anticipation this year. I should've been looking forward to seeing a great fight between two Britons at Mercedes: 8-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton and very talented youngster George Russell, but Hamilton was denied his 8th title in the debacle at the last race of 2021 in Abu Dhabi (see my previous posts), and he hasn't even decided if he's racing this year. After following the sport since the mid-80s, I may have to find something else to watch.
You reminded me of this proverb which I came across last week. I've no idea if it's genuine, but from the context, I think it was directed at the British PM:
"When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus."
Disclaimer: I'm aware that we don't discuss politics here. I gave the context for reference, but did not include my opinion!

I have no idea who these people are that you are talking about....and I don't want to know. They sound like a bunch of humans that make a lot of mistakes. Now, as for the folks of Hazzard County, they couldn't be more awesome.

Thanks, Roger, you've inadvertently given me an earworm. Why? Snow's debut album in 1993 was called "12 Inches of Snow".

Due to my home internet provider being slow to update its website address list, I only realized that HazzardNet was back online when I checked it on my phone (my computer was still showing the "Currently undergoing maintenance" screen). Everything's back to normal now, and MM's given me a workaround if it happens again - thanks, MM.

I think Tom Wopat is fairly much an asshole hiimself, from the best I can figure, though he does seem to have more sense than John, Jimmy and the rest. Even with being an alcoholic and a druggie, he STILL has $6 million....more than any of the rest! John Schneider is stupid with money. Even I have more money than he does!
