THREE CHEERS TO ‘RINGO’

Hats off to Jimmy “Ringo” Warrington – one of the guys who made the Delco League most enjoyable to watch – who passed away on March 16. I still remember the day when he hit three home runs in one game against St. Hedwig’s, and Art Stein returned the favor to Tinicum VFW with three home runs with his what a game. Keep on playing ball in your new ballpark,

Jimmy. KID FROM TINICUM

BUY USA

Not to sound like tinfoil hat wearing-conspiracy theorist, but with Toys R Us going under, I’ve been thinking about something: Kiddie City had kangaroo mascots. The Toys R Us giraffe spelled his name “Geoffrey” like some English guy. The KB Toys logo had the toy solider looking like some kind of European infantryman from the 1700s. Is this finally the time for all-American toy store chain to step up?

CURIOUS CONSUMER

STOCK UP THAT ARSENAL

Oh well, what can we say? Kiddie City’s gone; Toys R Us is gone. What happened? But let’s look at the good side – now we’ll have more money to buy guns.

THERE THEY GO AGAIN

I suppose everybody has noticed that the people who don’t hold the door for you going in or out of a Wawa are the same people who park in the handicap zone that are not handicapped.

TWO OF A KIND

There are only two kinds of people who think Trump is a good president: The rich, and the half-wits. They go hand-in-hand.

A FALSE NOTE

To “End Of Problem,” some sort of silent alarm sounds good for teachers, but if they’re wearing it you know the system will come to an end after the first 10 false alarms to the police in one week.

ANYTHING BUT GUNS

To “What Do You Want,” that’s the problem with a lot of anti-gun people. They want to expand background check systems to gather even more personal data, but they won’t talk about the flaws in using what are always effective background check system we already have. And in you want to bring the Florida shooting into this, look at the failures of federal law enforcement there. They’re not bringing that up because it would punch holes in their argument. Their whole agenda is based on misplaced emotion and not any sort of logic.

YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE YOUR EARS

I think the Times should put a rating at the end of some Sound Offs for how loudly the caller was yelling into the phone and how out of breath they were by the end. I’d be interested to know.

CURIOUS READER

THOUGHTS FROM THE REPTILE

To “Bad Lesson,” I’d rather be a “selfish, greedy reptile” and have an open mind than some fool who’s so insecure that their only capacity for thought is to insult people they don’t agree with.

FAIR IS FAIR

“Playing Politics” makes a point about the partisanship in Harrisburg. However, the new map that the Supreme Court drew up is much more fair than ridiculous map that Republicans had gerrymandered. So Republicans aren’t happy even though it’s pretty fair. They don’t want fairness; they want to have everything rigged in their favor. And when they don’t get everything rigged in their favor, they have a hissy fit.

SEXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT

Sean Hannity should have his show on the History Channel because he keeps digging into Bill Clinton and his “sex-capades.” You want to get up to date with the history of what’s going on, Sean? Start looking into Trump’s.

FOILED AGAIN

Whose bright idea was it to distribute the large recycle cans? You can barely carry them.
