The reference shouldn't be too hard to figure out ... ;-)

May Day

May Day

Workers of the world unite! I heard a story the other day of workers in a factory in France holding managers hostage who had come to tell them they were laid off. I think someone missed the point somewhere. I don't know how it was finally resolved.

Speaking of France, I believe "mayday!", the distress call, is derived from the french, "m'aider!", meaning "help me!"

I think May Day, the workers day, is actually May 1, so I should have posted this fractal then.

Grape Stompers

Grape Stompers

Was watching a special on the prohibition. The ladies of the Women's Christian Temperance Union did have a point. There were cases where the breadwinner would come home having drunk up the pay leaving nothing for the dependents, and then take it out on their hides.

Walking on the Beach

Walking on the Beach

You know when you get the wet sand between your toes, yeah, and look out to the sky, think of the universe beyond, think of the world below the waves, sunken wrecks, sharks, then be so glad to feel the sun's warmth going right through ya...

Does anybody really know what time it is? Uh, 25 or 6 to four, man. As I was walking down the street, er, beach, one day...
