Good ones OUC,.
I particularly enjoyed the mother in law, and the tomato

I remember way back in 1957, a neighbor had TV. The only one in the area. Only one station and even with his roof top antenna, reception was dismal - and non existant on a stormy day/night.
Yes we lived way out in the sticks. Radio was the entertainment of choice-but not during a thunderstorm...

After seeing the last one I am glad my dating was done in the 60's. Thanks OUC

Teenager dino had 3 channels but picked up one more from Panama City, Florida, when the Twilight Zone was on.
Me dino can't be an intellectual. First saw The Lone Ranger as a little kid in a motel room by the beach in Miami. I was hooked by the way Silver reared up at the start if the show. Golly wow!
J. R. Ewing? Naw, Trump fired that shot for that "grassy knoll" during the JFK assassination. Indict him for that.

    Bet Trump even got mad Nathan Hale said he only had one life to give for his country when he hanged him also.
    British collusion, Russian collusion, what the diff?
    At least he wasn't taking bribes for influence peddling. No one is getting indicted for that.

Love 'em OUC! LMAO at the dark tower of Mordor showing up in #4, LOL! Ahem.. I'll be paying closer attention to my sliced tomatoes in the future. I've seen wiring like that in #15 in China.

I suspect the last question will be a future dating test, if it isn't made illegal to ask.

      I thought it was common knowledge Trump shot J.R., LMAO!
      
      I can imagine Democrat DAs are hot on the trail of a Trump stabbing Julius Caesar, too.

        I would say that's a "given" that some dumb Dem DA can prove, for sure for sure, that that theft is the origin of the Trump riches - Adam Schiff is sniffing the trail as we speculate... (Haven't seen him in the news lately so I'm sure he's out panning for Trump gold someplace!)

People of a certain age won’t admit it, but 99% of us still think of the Lone Ranger when we hear the William Tell Overture.
Another great bunch of chuckles. Thanks!

  The William Tell Overture reminds me of sad weeping.
  And waves crashing over a ship at sea in a giant, dark storm.
  And a gentle sunrise above flowers in a meadow. But I listen to the whole thing (12:45 long), not just the Lone Ranger finale. Try it yourself:
  • Gioachino Rossini: William Tell Overture
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp3LL...
  Music starts at 0:40 sad and weepy, storm starts 3:35, sunrise 6:20. Hi-Ho Silver 9:10
  
  Are you willing to discover other great cartoon music or their bigger pieces? They're not all that long anyway. Try these, (most known parts x:xx / whole piece z:zz)
  • Franz von Suppé: Poet and Peasant Overture
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaMg5...
  (4:15 / 10:45)
  • Franz von Suppé: Light Cavalry Overture
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_XLn... (2:20 / 6:50)
  • Ferdinand Hérold: Zampa Overture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYG1i...
  (6:00 / 8:45) but, really, listen to the whole thing.
  
  Strong second half pieces
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
  • Franz Liszt: Second Hungarian Rhapsody
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNi-_... (5:40 / 11:15)
  • George Enescu: Romanian Rhapsody No. 1
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuU5s... (5:20 / 12:00))
  
  Just for fun
  =-=-=-=-=-=
  He thinks of marching gladiators—you'll think circus under the bigtop.
  • Julius Fučík: Entry of the Gladiators
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QbGV... (The whole thing is 3:00)
  
  Intended to represent a League of Nations disarnanebt conference as a gang of clowny douche-bags
  I played this the day the UN put North Korea in charge of nuclear disarmament
  • Dmitri Shostakovich: The Age of Gold - Ballet Suite, Polka
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlBNl... (All = 2:00)
  
  Another bit from the same suite, hyper WTF on a sugar rush
  Russian Dance
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47tP0... (2:10)

  When I was a kid, we had a player piano. We had the William tell overture roll. I would get up at 5am sunday morn's, sit and grab onto the bottom of the key board so I could reach the pedals and pumped my heart out!
  
  There is no way, even with an IQ of 136 that I could not think of the Long Ranger while hearing the WTO.

Oh for the All Seeing Eye of Sauron and Mordor ...
and what the Taco Bell order really looks like.
I have a friend that will appreciate the Lion and the Mother In Law bit... her daughter recently married a man named Seamus...
And now this omnivore heads into the kitchen to see what sort of possibilities await with the three tomatoes sitting on the counter...
Thanks again Carl :)

  Welcome . . . BLT? or if one wished to delete all three tomatoes at one sitting . . .perhaps a salad.
  Oh, and do not worry if they're inner faces look disappointed, all tomatoes want to be sauce...just tell em, they'll be sauce in the end!
  
  PS, didja read the Omnivor dilemma?
