Why You Should Work Rather Than Observe MLK Day

[Bush92]

I always try to work on a phony holiday. Guy stood by Castro and Kruchev when they had 1,400 nuclear warheads pointed at the United States. Fuck him.

Your "work" consists of posting here from a troll farm in Vladivostok, so how is this different?

Met the person once. Saw how he treated his family and staff.

Fortunately there were facilities nearby where I could quickly wash.

I have to work tomorrow. Even though UPS might be closed, I have to package up a 1966 Wurlitzer portable electric piano for shipping. The thing weighs about 120 pounds packaged. Looks about like this one...

Gonna be easier to just pop the legs off, toss it in the car and drive it there.

I did it in a MINI Cooper. Made me spin a 180 on a ramp too. Fun times.

The legs unscrew and fit into the top cover, which isn't pictured. The thing is, I won't know where it's going to be shipped to until tomorrow morning.

No biggie, I've shipped larger and heavier things than this, even internationally. If there's one thing Martin Luther King taught me, it's that you can ship anything if you reinforce the corners with styrofoam, then wrap enough bubble wrap and heavy cardboard around it.

Sure, but (a) it's expensive, and (b) you can't then say you delivered a piano in a MINI Cooper.

 

[sparky]

Those year and model of Wurltizer 140B pianos can bring up to $4500 in excellent condition. Mine needs a little work but with a low starting bid and no reserve, any buyer would be more than happy to pay $100 - $150 UPS shipping. Those are the same ones Ray Charles recorded “What’d I Say”? on, so they're highly prized by musicians and collectors.

Yeah I know. And it sounds like an electric piano.

Ray made that record, not the instrument. He did it in spite of the instrument.

I'm still sayin', you haven't lived until you've spun a MC around on a wet pavement right in front of a cop, and you get to say "the piano threw off my centre of gravity". Because who else can say that.

Martin Luther King Jr was the first Black man that has taken on the Deep state.

After four weeks of testimony and over 70 witnesses in a civil trial in Memphis, Tennessee, twelve jurors reached a unanimous verdict on December 8, 1999 after about an hour of deliberations that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. In a press statement held the following day in Atlanta, Mrs. Coretta Scott King welcomed the verdict, saying , “There is abundant evidence of a major high level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. And the civil court’s unanimous verdict has validated our belief. I wholeheartedly applaud the verdict of the jury and I feel that justice has been well served in their deliberations. This verdict is not only a great victory for my family, but also a great victory for America. It is a great victory for truth itself. It is important to know that this was a SWIFT verdict, delivered after about an hour of jury deliberation.

The jury was clearly convinced by the extensive evidence that was presented during the trial that, in addition to Mr. Jowers, the conspiracy of the Mafia, local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the assassination of my husband. The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame.

Yup...paid holidays are good for the worker and more than earned.

Where in the Hell did you get the idea that Castro and Khrushchev had 1400 nukes pointed at the US from Cuba. I lived through those days in Oct 1962 at Vandenberg AFB and my father spent 14 days down an Atlas D missile silo waiting for a launch order. Some of the launch sites were in various states of readiness with an incidental number of missiles on hand. The US naval blockade stopped a major load of MRBM's and IRBM's on Oct 24. The interdiction of these missiles forced Khrushchev to start what seemed like a lifetime of negotiations for my family, and I haven't forgotten that time.

In 1962 the USSR depended on their massive fleet of bombers to deliver the lion's share of their nukes. The US had IRBM's like the Thor's in Turkey and Italy and ICBM's like the Atlas, the unreliable Titans and our own B52 fleet to destroy the world several times over. But the Soviets didn't have the 1400 nukes in Cuba you claim in 1962 you misinformed fool!

Anyhow, if you would prefer to work rather than take a paid holiday you earned, your folks raised an idiot!

Remember, Sadaam had WMD.

JFK Had His Own Russian Back Channel. It Helped to Prevent War.
