14 Aug Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter + Matador Playlist 8/7/25

How time flies. It flies when one is having fun, when one is not having fun, and it flies in the interim portions as well. The older one gets the faster it flies and one must flap pretty hard to try and keep up. I just flew in from Austin, and boy my arms are tired. From Austin to Milwaukee, to be precise, and I am residing in America’s Dairyland for a bit to tend to familial matters. This week’s riposte will be brief, but I wanted to share with you this lovely vintage promotional device extolling the virtues of fresh, ice cold Goblin Orangeade. America has drunk deeply of the Orange Goblin elixir as of late and for some it is refreshing and invigorating. For others it is horrifying and nauseous. As quoth Romeo, ‘There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls.’ Cogitate on that for a bit and we shall compare notes at a future date.

And now, lastly but far from leastly, HERE is the exclusive link to this week’s Matador Playlist. Just go ahead and click on that link, kid (you know you want to!).
