Welcome, Milleandleroy! This descibes my typical dates. From Urban Cowboy- "Know how to do a two-step?" "You bet." "Wanna prove it?"

Like totally, man.

Shhhh....don't tell the Weirwillites!

Wait....let me duck down first........... Happy Birthday! (You missed!)

"I'll be back!"

A polar bear, a giraffe and a penguin walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this? Some kind of joke?"

Oh, my dear Radar........ I HATE the term "Chick"...I mean I really HATE it..... Don't know why; it's just one of those nails on a chalkboard terms, for me. Anybody who knows me (especially my male friends) knows they can push my buttons by saying "chick" to me...... So that's why I named it "Gal"...it has more dignity.

Die Hard "Come out to the coast, we'll have a few laughs."

"Say hello to my little friend!" "If you can't say something nice about someone, come sit by me!" "I love ya more'n my luggage". "This ship can't sink!".

I gotta tell ya, when I first heard the Eagles "get over it" I actually considered the idea that a Weirwillte wrote it. Then I figured I'd hear it at the beginning of every SNS (if I ever heard one again). Then I got over it.

Tell your wife for me that she has good taste, Tom...but then I guess you already know that! Thanks! Anybody else?

The point being, that he could hold an audience: he had the charisma to do that, and his audience (at least in the beginning) accepted it. He had a way of making things make sense. If we (and I count myself among that) didn't question it as deeply as we should have, well, that's on us.

Ok, the guys had their fun. It's our turn. Name the movies that we love. These are mine: The Way We Were Steel Magnolias An Affair to Remember (Both versions)

Amen!

Ok, now I'm butting in. They're like Lay's: once you start, ya can't stop. A guy walks into a bar and there is a horse behind the bar serving drinks. The guy is just staring at the horse, when the horse says, "What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a horse serving drinks before?" The guy says, "No, I never thought the parrot would sell the place."

Geez, John, I'll you feel all reproved and everything, huh?

Family Corps?

He went-where? The Bookstore? The Way Woods? The OSC? Where, oh where, did he WENT? You "believe" that is what he meant? Don't you all talk? He graduated from the Way in 85. Hemm...can you be more specific? What was his "status" upon graduation? He saw VPW once a month? Traveled to Ohio every month, did he? Or did VPW just happen to pass thru? Sorry I have so many questions: just would like to understand you more, CK.

"I trust my parents over everone here." Then why are you here?

Remember when gas prices were 15 cents? I hate to say I do. I know that in relative terms it's true, but when I hear the term "old song from the 70's" I wanna scream. It's just mentally hard to grasp the concept of "30 years". Kit...I love that: I hadn't thought of ethyl in a while, and it came crashing back, especially having guys actually pump your car for you, clean your windshield, check your oil and tires. That had begun to fade by the late sixties. BTW: America is celebrating its 230th aniversary this year. Assume four men since 1776 each had a child at age 50. 1776-1826 a. Great Great Grandfather 1826-1876 b. Great Grandfather 1876-1926 c. Grandfather 1926-1976 d. Father 1976-2006 e. Son See-doesn't seem that long ago.

Is there a bookstore?

So, now that everybody's done exactly what I didn't want ( a cross-examination of B.G.), can anyone speak to the question? I asked why VPW (or even [gag] Craig) didn't hit the airways for a faster accumulation of wealth. I used my first hand recollection of what VP said were the reasons were to not 'sell out', and then what I felt were the real reasons, that they could not stand up to scrutiny. I mean what I said and I said what I mean. Now go to your room! Enough!

Did you see all the negative criticism about "My Space" on the news? It's (as we can see ourselves) easy to get access to way too much info about the people who post there. I wonder who actually set the thing up: if TWI did it officially (which shows how stupid they are) or whether some eager beaver did it and then spread the word it was there. I'd stay away from it.

Most of us 40 somethings loved to tell him about the old days just watch his mouth drop with astonishment. I think that's what always makes me aware of the passage of time, seeing the reactions of the younger crowd when discussing how things used to be...I am more aware than ever that every generation goes through that. I am much more sensitive now to how our parents and grandparents must viewed us vs how we viewed them. It's still fun to watch the kid's expression's, though: became kind of a hobby to get a reaction out of him.
