Here you go... Library of Congress collection. I like the one's where his wife teaches him...

Yes. I'm pretty sure he wasn't implying homosexuality, but talking about general partying and gallivanting around, promiscuity, etc. I don't think "gay" came to mostly mean homosexual until later in the 20th century. I believe Everett is just telling him he doesn't want to hear him bragging about his immoral lifestyle or gossiping about someone else's. There were a lot of prudes back then. That's my take, anyways...

or in other words...

I want to be a flâneur when I grow up...

back in the early-mid '80s I worked as a tire changer for a chain of tire retailers. We had a mechanic who did all the front-end alignments and brake jobs etc, and he had an apprentice/helper who worked with him. When cars with drum brakes came in, they liked to each take a side and race to see who could get them done faster. I remember timing them once, and they both could remove and replace the shoes and the spring kits in less than 45 seconds.

Sure, AI can whip up fantastical imagery and low-effort dialog — but if audiences call BS, the blowback can be extraordinarily embarrassing.

I see AI generated bullshit on youtube all the time these days. To the point where I can tell by the thumbnail before I even watch it. I've gotten in the habit of checking out new-to-me channels in a private window first, before deciding whether I want to subscribe or even keep watching. The instant I detect any AI... either in the voice or the nonsensical writing, I'm outa there. I do e-learning multimedia for a living, and we use a lot of stock images, and those sites are being loaded up with AI generated garbage. It's getting harder to find stuff that isn't AI, and using it to generate your own is a total crapshoot as far as results go...

I had a good friend who worked LP for wal-mart back in the '90's. He loved that shit. He'd burn CD copies of the surveillance videos of his latest escapades fighting with and tackling shoplifters and bring them home for us to see. He was a master of "redirecting" someone running away from him into whatever nearby solid object he had available. I know those big red bollards that keep cars from driving thru the front doors claimed more than a couple of victims at his, um... urging. Entertaining stuff for sure.

Fuck cancer. King or commoner... getting that news will fuck with your head. I wish him the best.
