Commenter Memories Number 181 Sixty Grit shares his memories of Vietnam

The photos keep coming in. Sixty doesn't feel like commenting anymore but he sent this photo of his lie detector test when he was applying for the CIA in Vietnam in 1968.

They are much more careful nowadays.

Absent friends

We haven't seen a few people lately. I just guess that life is keeping them busy. Plus I have not been posting a lot because I have been very busy and kind of tired lately. I just hope that all is well and that everyone is enjoying life.

Drop us a comment guys so we know you are ok.

Thanks Sixty.....you really get me!

What if?

We visited Sixty Grit and he took us to his Vietnam reenactment party.

Not to be out done

Sixty Grit sent us his prom photos.

He had two dates.

Of course he was related to both of them.

But hey who would say no?

Oy my littly Yiddisher Pickel

"No I can not marry you Mr. Grit. You seem like a very nice man and you can really sing but my heart belongs to another."
"Weeelllll GGGOOOLLLEEEEE Miss Picon who could love you more than me?'
"Why my sweet dear ricpic. We communicate by sending each other letters. I roll them up and put them into a bottle and throw it into the mikvah in Williamsburg. It's so romantic."
"Damn. Well I guess I will just have to go out and molest a pumpkin who will later commit suicide."
"Oy."

What if?

Sixty Grit was your neighbor and decided to help you out with his special snow blower?

Sixty Grit agonized over posting his photo but finally broke down and put it on twitter. So I figured I had to share it with youse guys.

He had nothing to worry about. He is a fine figure of a man.

Sixty wanted to indulge his Mr. Howell lifestyle so he bought a boat and he will be sailing around this summer. Enjoy my friend.

Cheer up Sixty....ask and you shall receive....

Sixty Grit said...
Well, I am more hurt than offended, having lost a beloved pet yesterday. You could at least change the picture to a pile of dead lawyers or law professors - that would cheer me up.

You ask for it you get it.....

AllenS said... Sixty, If he could find a picture of Christie Brinkley bent over like that, I'd be all WOOOOO HOOOOO!

The Searchers Part One

Sixty Grit said...

Troop, what do you think of The Searchers. It was on last night and I sort of watched it. It didn't live up to the hype, primarily because they kept saying they were in Texas when they were in Monument Valley, Utah. Five years they wandered, never left a 10 square mile area.

My feelings about "The Searchers" are a little complicated Sixty. Although it is probably the most artistic and "deep" of the John Wayne and John Fork collaborations it is not my favorite. It is the Western most cited by the intelligentsia and the movie auteur's as their favorite Western which is enough to give me pause. It is a complete work and the absolute fruition of Ford's talent but it is flawed in many ways. But what piece of art doesn't have it flaws? (Well except for Angie Dickenson)

The reason it was shot in Monument Valley is because it was John Fords personal presevre. Where he was most comfortable shooting his movies. Away from the onerous hand of studio supervision. They lived in tents and had no running water or toilets. So the big wigs stayed away. It was supposed to mimic the Llano Estacado or great desert plain of west Texas where the Comanche ruled in the days of the frontier. Of  course it was much dryer and desolate but it was just a convention of the time. Like filming in front of a backdrop or wearing a white hat if you were a good guy.

The story of the movie is one of redemption. Of love turning to hate and back to love again. Of the ties of family that bind even the loner and the outside with chains of love. It is a tale of endurance and perservance and stubborness born out of a sense of obligation and loyality. It is a tale of what America once was and will never be again. Much more now than in the days it was filmed. That America and those Americans are gone forever. It is an ode to an era that has passed and will not return. And like Ethan Edwards all we can do is turn our back and walk out into the darkness of the night.

Whose that girl?

Whose that girl that would raise an eyebrow at Sixty's antic's?

No it is not Allie. This post is all Greek to her.

Hey whose that girl?

True Stories of the Jersey Shore

BTW, she's not inviting axilism if that's what you were thinking.

Whose the prevert now?
ricpic said...
She's got that crazed look. Always a good indicator of liveliness in the sack.

What's axilism?
Sixty Grit said...
ricpic, I would say that Google is your friend, but having looked it up, all I can say is there are some things one cannot unread, once read.

Isn't axilism where you want to have sex with Axl Rose?
