I'm not sure I understand your response, Tom, But "I'm Down" is not the song. George

Kinky! No feathers, now! :o--> :D--> George

I really loved the album, too. (I think I still have it around, somewhere.) My favorite skits were the one with John complaining that Bobby and Ted were using "his" voice and the one where baby John-John stops the Cuban missile crisis by picking up a phone call from Khruschev and bawling at him! As a side note, with the death of JFK, Meader's career went into a tailspin and he nearly died from drug abuse. He turned himself around in the mid-'70's by doing bicentennial stuff. (His John Adams sounded remarkably like JFK. ;)-->) I believe he died a year or two ago. George

Okay, let's add the first line... Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John: He claimed he had the misery, but he had a lot of fun! George

I remember injuring myself in gym class and sitting on the sideline with the gym teacher when the principal came in to tell us that Pres. Kennedy had been killed. I'm not sure I can remember another time when everybody was so somber. (And that includes 9/11.) George

Actually, I don't know about that. The movie I had in mind was "And Now for Something Completely Different"; but it's possible that the same skit was used in MPL@HB. Anyway, close enough. Your go. George

P.S.: My wife couldn't have any more kids, but I have four wonderful (usually) stepchildren and a fantastic (always) grandson! George

If you ladies don't mind a guy butting in here, I'd like to point out that some of US wait a while before getting married. When I was younger, I couldn't understand how my dad could have been single until he was 33. --> I was single until I was almost 42. :D--> To quote an old beer commercial, "When it's right, you know it." :)--> George

From Lavender: Thanks, George; yes, you are correct; it was Baby I'm A-Want You, by Bread. Lav Therefore, He claimed he had the misery, but he had a lot of fun! Goerge

No. George

Well, now what I wrote above is wrong!! Sartori must have been editing (or adding to) his post as I was replying. Weird! George

I was going to repond to Sartori's comment, but I noticed that the "quote" was actually different from the way it appears in the post. Note what replaces "Intervention" here. I wonder what happened, since there's no mark of editing in Sartori's post? Anyway, sentimentality has nothing to do with it. If you learned true Word, you learned true Word. If you didn't, you didn't. Those who "hold the baby" are in the former category; those who "throw it out" are in the latter. George

Wasn't part of the Y2K insanity that believers were supposed to get rid of their microwaves, because "we really don't know how they work"? I was out by that time, but this bit of "wisdom" was related to me by an "innie" as something that LCM propounded. (And, by the way, the "innie" KNEW it was BS. He told his LC that he would take his chances with his microwave! :D--> ) George

Happy Birthday, Krys! How are you feeling these days? George

Not bad, since I've never seen the movie (though I did see "Scary Movie 3"). Try this: I have a bit of a dirty fork, here." George

It reminds me of "Baby, I'm a-Want You" by Bread. Lavender, if you're lurking, answer in our private thread. George

Lavender has sent me this clue to post: "Lately I'm a-prayin' that you'll always be a-stayin' beside me." She did not give me the answer. George

I PT'ed Lavender. She replied something about being unable to post (though she did reply to the PT)?! Give her a little time, and then maybe we need to move on. George

"The Ring"? George

Do you ever read church signs as you're driving by? Some are pretty bizarre. (There was a thread here a while ago about a sign that implied that Jesus used an AK-47! ) But a lot are cute. Here are a couple: "Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am!" "Looking for a sign from God? This is one!" "How will you spend eternity -- smoking, or non?" How about the rest of you? Got any good ones? George

I don't think he ever visited a location where I was (central Illinois and later Houston). I was a TC, so I'm sure I would have been "invited" to help prepare. Mrs. W. came to Houston a couple of times. She was treated with honor, but I don't think she had such a detailed list of preparations. George

Actually, I think it was TR's later show, "Love, Sidney" that had the horn concerto. George

Well, I only saw Taxi once or twice, so I didn't know the theme, and Sudo's isn't any more familiar to me. If you like french horns, though, you might try to dig up the theme song from the Tony Randall Show. It was a horn concerto, as I recall. George

Yes, Pirate. I would also have accepted Cat Stevens, who had a top-forty release of it in the early 70's. See you in a week. George

Somebody better get this before I go on vacation tomorrow morning! Here's another line: How I wish I had someone to talk to! George
