"Dazed And Confused" in 10 Minutes

Instapundit has a link up right now about Richard Linklater's "Dazed And Confused."  It is one of my all time favorite movie comedies because it hits so close to home in so many ways (class of '78 here).


Great soundtrack, too.

Ha, they couldn't use the title part of the ZZ Top track Tush.

For obvious reasons.

The Obamacare website is dazed and confused.

It has 3 puzzling questions from which it wont let me continue unless I answer all 3.

Am I Hispanic?

What's my Ethnicity?

What is my Race?

Lem, maybe put upside down question marks, accent marks on things, interchange Spanish words, behave a bit daft, allow them to pour on benefits to help you, fill out forms for you.

I read this morning California is splitting off a separate DMV testing thing for however they're subcategorizing races these days. In Denver I took a drivers test again when my license was revoked for having a seizure while driving and bumping another car. One little bump and they're all, give us your license and prove you can drive. So I did. Studied the book in order to ace the test. Went to the DMV on Mississippi which became a center for immigrant driving testing. The test I recall taking as a teen was dumbed down so incredibly there is no point in studying at all. It's intended for people with difficulty reading. There was nothing technical at all. Everything completely basic. Nothing about stopping distances, RR tracks, emergency signals, stopping distances in rain, how to stop on ice, nothing at all about alcohol levels. Just things like what basic signs mean. Stop behind the line. Come to compete stop. Xeroxed on one-sided paper. Poor quality copy. Low production all around. Rather like Mexico itself. Not like Colorado.

Now it's changed to be even more bizarre where things occur in a series of stations so you wait in mini lines repeatedly until the ordeal is over. I acted helpless and they took care of me. I started off by asking what "kiosk" means. The woman got up and did it for me.

New for 2016:

Sexy super volcano v. sweet meteor of death.

But the Sunday quake was still considered relatively light, and its location didn't raise concerns about the park's supervolcano, which experts say has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times the size of Mount St. Helens and would have worldwide effects.

You're killing me, man.

But asking what kiosk means? I got your number, babe, and you are one smartass.

But then, I already knew that (O)<------ that's my symbol for hug.
