| VR-Zone & Facebook: Volkswagen Hippy Van Cooler |
My satirical take on this photo is that Volkswagen needs all the public relations assistance it can receive at this moment in history and it was therefore rather interesting that this image suddenly appeared at this time.
On a more serious note, I view Volkswagen as a quality vehicle and automotive manufacturer.
Incidentally, my Mother used to own a Volkswagen Beetle when I was very little, which was a high quality vehicle.
The Volkswagen reputation, much like Toyota and Honda is admittedly very good worldwide.
Satirically, here is some further public relations assistance for Volkswagen, one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world.
I did some research and I can confirm what I have heard and that is that Volkswagen was founded by...

'The German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF) was the National Socialist trade union organization which replaced the various trade unions of the Weimar Republic after Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Its leader was Robert Ley, who stated its aim as 'to create a true social and productive community' (Smelster, 1988).' "

ReplyDelete-Crash & Burn-
...And I hate to hit a brother in the Volkswagen when they are down.
ReplyDeleteInteresting the 'attention' or 'harassment', depending on how one wishes to view it, I receive from Facebook, especially with the mobile version, in regard to this blog. Latest message included.
ReplyDelete'Budget and Duration
Total budget
$8.00
Est. People Re'
Currency options included, I suppose I should not use CDN and should choose British Pounds.
Facebook tells me the latest post is responding better than 95% of them (how exciting) and therefore I should pay them $8.00 for promotional purposes with the post list. My purposes in this blog are non-profit and non-prophet...obviously.
Interesting comments from the blog commenter my friend Big D...listening to my new Mahavishu box set and new Beethoven. Re: Mahavishnu Big D "How do they remember what to play? Me: Well the piece is never the same each time' Big D 'That is a real long drum solo" Big D (On Beethoven) that is really nice.

ReplyDeleteThe longer one lives the more facts can be known, if one is wise.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of one of the most profound things my former Pastor stated, for me, and I have shared this on the Blogger blogs previously. He stated that when one is twenty years old they have few regrets, but by the time they reach forty years old they have more regrets, and by the time they reach sixty (his approximate age) years of age they have even more and greater regrets.
I know that human beings being finite, need experience to learn, but it seems to me by being open-minded to facts and wisdom it can save one many regrets. Theologically from a Biblical perspective it places one more likely in God's perfect will as opposed to God's permissible will.
The last few days, a co-worker named Frank, Mom's Station Nurse and Mom's social worker [I rep. for my Mom] have told me I work too many hrs. True enough but the blogging is not going to go as I need it for sanity and work related, Mom helps me with meals but she still needs overall help and I live upstairs, plus I am always looking for better work...with PhD would be nice. And I still socialize more than when I was a student. Just the way w. society is today...I have told work NO 12 hr shifts and others that are getting called often are beginning to follow my lead. A company needs to cover with new employees.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I really like these last two (Plane and Bus) quirky colourful posts...
ReplyDeleteRodney Dangerfield had captured the minds of his audience with his ribald, in-your-face humor. Read some of the best funny one liners by Rodney Dangerfield on this page.
ReplyDeleteFamily
My cousin is gay; in school while other kids were dissecting frog, he was opening flies.
FOOD AND DRINK
ReplyDeleteI drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample, it had an olive in it.
I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.
NO RESPECT FROM THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY
ReplyDeleteI told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous; everyone hadn’t met me yet.
VISION
ReplyDeleteMy wife was afraid of the dark, saw me naked, now she’s afraid of the light.
I told my doctor that when I woke up in the morning I couldn’t stand looking at myself in the mirror. He said, “At least we know your vision is perfect.”
FAMILIAL LOVE
ReplyDeleteI remember the last time I was kidnapped, and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
My uncle’s dying wish: he wanted me on his lap. He was on the electric chair.
I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.
When I was a kid, my parents moved around a lot. But I always found them.
When I was born, I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.
ReplyDeleteMy mother had morning sickness after I was born.
When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.
Yeah, I know I’m ugly. I said to the bartender, “Make me a zombie.” He said, “God beat me to it.”
I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.

Here @ work in the AM as a colleague is a no show (again). Another kind colleague in his fifties, divorced, two kids wants to date younger women and does but does not want to be married or have children. He mentions the topic often. I stated research tells me if that is your approach you will likely have the classic younger woman-older man, beauty for money arrangement. If you want a lasting relationship seems to me one needs to be youthful, willing to marry and have children which would be the biblical model and mine. My colleague prefers attempting a middle position, which I am skeptical on.👎Reminds me of some of R Don Steele theory I have read...
