Naw. It was Marilyn who was "busted." George

"The Whole Nine Yards"? George

Has to be! Your go, Raf! George

I didn't guess before I heard it, but I should have, considering the last couple days of this thread! George

That was my first clue. Here's another: My God, I beat a man insensible with a strawberry! George

Yeah. Joan Crawford?? And the idea that someone will get people to take alternative versions of Marilyn's death seriously by writing a book called "Marilyn's Last Words: Her Secret Tapes and Mysterious Death." I was too young to really get into Marilyn (except in the reruns of her movies). I was a big Raquel fan, myself! George

Hard enough, I guess, though it does seem VAGUELY familiar. George

"Beetlejuice"! (I'm sure.) Your name is not ... Luna? George

This isn't the Nostalgia Thread, Tom! :D--> On this thread, you're SUPPOSED to give the whole name. But, assuming "LTS" means "Long, Tall Sally," you're up. George And I would have accepted either the Beatles or Little Richard as the performer. A LOT of early Beatles tunes were covers of black performers' works.

Let's try the whole first verse: Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John: He claimed he had the misery, but he had a lot of fun! Oh, baby! Ye-a-a-ah, baby! Woo-oo-oo-ooh, baby! Havin' me some fun tonight! George

Actually, there ARE vast stores of natural gas (methane) trapped on the ocean floor in special crystalline structures called clathrates. Estimates vary, but there may be more ocean-based natural gas than land-based. I doubt, however, that God used methane to move the continents. George

Though I usually found the teachings reasonably entertaining, even enlightening on occasion, there was this once... I volunteered to sing in the "Chorale," not realizing that we would be sitting on bleachers (no back support) the whole time. VP started teaching about Joseph. After about 45 minutes, I finally realized that he was going to teach the WHOLE story of Joseph! I think it went for about 75 minutes, all told. Oh, my aching back! George

If minor chords were so devilish, what did they think about DIMINISHED chords? Only "seed boys" would use THEM! George

Maybe the next time I visit my family in the Chicago area we can ram a few beers. (If Cindy!'s not pregnant, that is!) George

I always preferred Dion's doo-wop stuff, but this song was his comeback hit after HE kicked a drug habit. (Apparently there was a lot of that going on.) George

So, then give us another clue, WW! George

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
