Then I would suggest that you ask your Momma to limit your access to this part of the web, young 'un.

Damn, you're good. =8-o

Em, don't forget the part where they squirt this stuff in your mouth while you are reclined backward at an angle, and then you think you are choking to death or may-haps going to vomit and so you do some really bizarre athletic activities to try to regain your composure but in your attempts to reorient yourself you accidentally and without malice aforethought brutalize the dentist and/or her dental assistant(s), and then everyone wonders why dentists have such a high suicide rate. =8-o

J-131274 - now THERE is a rhetorical question for the ages . . . . . .

Felyne - the bullet, natch!

The total respect and sincere admiration of your homies. :-)

I believe the point is to strike a blow for the counterculture by intentionally misspelling whatever one writes. The point is to catch the reader's eye and show them that the writer just doesn't give one good golly for spelling, grammar, punctuation, or any of those obvious artifices that clutter up and get in the way of one's true feelings and expressiveness. My guess is that author's image and credibility decrease as his/her spelling and grammar skills increase.

But then, that could just be me. :-)

The eloquence of this argument decidedly outshines that expressed two posts before and makes one want to eagerly rush out and gather the paint cans, rally the people, and start spraying en masse.

Certainly a most persuasive argument for graffiti, I must say.

I think it's two parts of the same dowel, like it fractured. Just a guess, of course.

That's our man - tell it like it is! ;-)

There's two of us here named Lynne. I didn't make any of the above comments. :-)

This photo breaks my heart. This carousel was beautiful!! I can still hear the happy tunes blasting from it's band organ in my mind.

I remember when they were auctioned off it's wooden animals. (I think it was Sotherby's NY that had the auction). I knew the demise of the park was not far behind.

Thanks for posting these incredible but sad photos.

I remember this carousel too. It was part of the kiddie land. It was a small all horse carousel, and the big one had a variety of animals.

This carousel is still spinning in Cranston RI at an ice cream place.

These photos are amazing and so sad. Rocky Point was a wonderful park and I have great memories of going there. A trip to the Shore Dinner Hall for clamcakes and "chowda" was a must!

What a great photo. What a sad sight! The carousel was my favorite ride at Rocky Point, it had a large variety of animals, not just horses. It was beautiful! It was made by the Herschell Spillman company, and all the animals were hand carved. It was built in the early 1920s.

The original figures were auctioned off but the frame is still intact with newer figures and is located at Misquamicut (Atlantic Beach Park), so you can still go for a spin.
