      Lightfoot is a thing. So is Fetterman. Both look like . . . things.
      As for that insult to scarecrows everywhere, Slow Joe can find "the thing" by looking at a mirror.

            Don't forget about the: Volkswagen Thing!
            Remember that car? Was more like a yard toy for kids...

              Got to be to least crashworthy thing ever.
              Fortunately most rusted to pieces before they could get to many drivers could get miles on them. Pretty rare sight on the roads these days, unless you're on a Caribbean island.

              I was once a passenger in such a tiny thing getting an hour's ride from Marianna, Florida to Dothan, Alabama during the Sixties. That Bug wobbled each time an 18-wheeler came the other way.
              During the Seventies I quit dating a girl because she started to nag me about seeing a kid's Disney movie called Herbie about an intelligent Volkswagen. I never did see it, though I think it had a sequel. Later on when I had kids I may have gone to see it. I really liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

            Holy smokes, an old monster movie I don't remember seeing! Thanks!

            I do recall a humorous song from the late '50s or early '60s called "The Thing", but I can only remember the refrain, "Get out of here with that - boom boom boom-" later followed with "Oh, you'll never get rid of that -boom boom boom - no matter what you do! Oh, you'll never get rid of that -boom boom boom - no matter what you do!" LOL! Or something like that.

              Hey, all you had to do was click on to the link above to get on You Tube and type "The Thing Song."
              There's all kinds of music posted on You Tube. The song came out during 1950 whereas the first The Thing movie was made during 1951. I doubt there's any connection.
              Here's that song, which I just heard for the first time since I was age 3 during 1950
              https://www.youtube.com/results?searc...
              There's a song I thought about not hearing for a long time earlier today.
              It was at a place called Sammy's Gentleman's Club in Birmingham during the early 80s when me dino first heard "Jungle Love."
              I was sitting at a table with three strippers when another stripper fed change into a jukebox to get the music she wanted to dance to.
              The three strippers and I started to sing "Oh wee oh we oh!" each time the song sang that.

                Got it, dino!!! Yup, the Phil Harris tune is what popped into my mind! LOL

                I didn't realize it was made in 1950. I was born in 1952 and recall it was popular around 1960.

                  As a kid, me dino did not care much for music on the radio until Rock & Roll came along.
                  THAT I could not get enough of. Until I heard groups like The Four Seasons high-pitched squealing like girls. Blaugh!
                  All grown up and taking dates to discos, I could tolerate the Bee Gees squealing like that, though, for great dancing music.
                  When I was in, say. int the Sixth Grade, I guess, a dancing instructor told me I had natural rythem.
                  Recall as a teen dating a girl until I took her to a school dance and found out she didn't have any and just wanted to stand around and socialize.

    It has been an idea of mine for a long time, that students may return useless degrees for a refund AND the University AND specific department is obligated to pay off the loan; hollowing out the University rot.
