Happy Birthday Michael E. Marotta


Xray

Recommended Posts

O.K. Michael,... JUST WHAT IS IT? Is it your genes? Is it your diet? Is it subliminal playing of ITOE?? (Nah) Or subliminal playing of your complete set of The West Wing? (Nah, that can't be it, either!) :unsure:

Well, WHAT IS IT? You contribute so much to this forum and to many others dealing with Objectivist-related themes, that either you are up all night, or are on a caffeine jag, or err, something more powerful that a certain well known author was reputed to have taken as a daily tonic? :blush:

Such voluminous erudition MUST be accounted for! You can share with us...No, really! :wink:

Well, whatever it is, keep on doing it! We all enjoy and learn from your contributions!

So,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Enjoy!

Yes, Brant, that's me. It's a 1950 Ford, dark green. The soil down there is black, and it's bountiful with crops, also fossils. I remember them using large fossils, of ancient nautilus, for door stops. Fossils even past us, that is.

In the photo above with the children on the horse, I'm the one on the front, then my sister, then, my brother. That's the way our father and his siblings got to school. The photo of the boys against the Ford was at the farm of my father's folks outside a little town Caddo. That is in southeastern Oklahoma, near Durant, which the President visited last summer to meet with some of the Choctaw tribe. My brother and father were somewhat dark, as we are a bit Choctaw. That part of the state was where the Choctaw Nation was formed in Indian Territory after the Trail of Tears from the South. My first partner Jerry was from that part of the state, and he was half Choctaw.

I note the recent anniversary of loss of your precious one, and wish you a good deal of serenity on this bright day we remain in the land of the living.

Yeah, I see the Ford now. Back when Consumer Reports was more communistic they proposed that Ford model as one that could be endlessly reproduced year after year thereby saving all the styling if not advertising costs that went into the manufacturing. That was so long ago I doubt anyone in the organization has any memory of it. (Communists are moral materialists fucking over people by getting rid of the otherwise unfuckable people so everybody gets fucked, for the fuckers are also the fuckees, even Stalin's daughter [goodbye boyfriend]. Naturally they would want to fuck over people's cars as fucking over people. They are still very active today, but harder to see on first sight, for they lie very well about who they are. They are the predators in the colleges and universities. The reason campuses are gun free is so the profs won't get shot by decent people [i know this last isn't true--I think [Groan].)

The 1950 Ford makes a good rat rod. The early 50s Hornet was the real mean racing machine then. Bad ass. The first modern American cars--still modern today if you can redo them new--started with the 1955 two door hardtops from Chevy and Ford if not Chrysler. I knew this back then when I first saw a 1955 Chevy just as well as I know it now.
