Sudo

Waysider, From some of your posts I think you may most senior around here. I'm 54 and pert much the oldest I think. But Hiway29 has a much better memory than I do for a lot of TV shows back then... and I think I have a few years on him. Yep, Hiway29.. that was Ed Byrne and wow has hep (thanks for the correction, Rick) talk has changed. OK.. I think they're all guessed now so back to a song from a TV show that ran in the 60's. It's of course, the Christmas episode. I wouldn't have known who the male singer was. Click HERE! and see what all you find familiar. Does anyone remember variety shows?? sudo

Wasway, Sure good to see your font down here again. The guy was a big flash for a while. Had some famous hair that constantly needed some combing. sudo

Sheesh! I thought I would get at least some response to my sheriff and girlfriend song. :( sudo

George, Re:"I know I've heard it before, too; but I'm not sure who did it." I wouldn't have known either but I remember him from the hit TV series he was in back in the 50's. Listen to how dated that language is! Some words like "cool" are still, uh, cool but others are just a flash in the pan. Anyone remember how popular "groovy" was back in about 1968? I'd know about these things because I'm a hip cat daddy-O. sudo

Kathy, Looks like you are getting into the Christmas spirit. Sheesh.... looks like we're going to have 70° days Christmas week . But go on have a few guesses at what I posted (HERE!)... though I know its a wee bit before your time. You young thang you!!! :) sudo

Not exactly from a TV Christmas episode but this guy was real hip back when.. Uh, could you tell it wasn't 1985? Click HERE! and name the year.. or whatever. sudo

We're doing this down on Nostalgia but for those who don't drop in there...click HERE! It's your favorite sheriff and pharmacist girlfriend. sudo

Ca Dreaming, Good to have you here. Did you catch the good tune that George wanted above? Click HERE! sudo (who LOVES this time of year)

Kathy, Here's a little cheering up for you. There are several versions of this song but this one started with 'Oh Tannenbaum!' and I thought you might remember it. I was in the 8th grade when it came out so you might be a tad young for it. Click HERE! sudo

I love the picture, Cowgirl. Every now and then we have snow down here in Memphis for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you too up there in Canada!! sudo

George, Just lookie at what I've done for YOU, my man. Posted your song! Aw.. I like it too though so click HERE! There's a discussion about Christmas songs on the Open forum. They all ought to come down here, huh? Here's one of those rare combination TV shows from the 60's and though the quality isn't that good.. it won't take long to load. Obviously the Beverly Hillbillies is one of them... what's the other TV show? Click HERE! sudo

George, Would you like me to post it? MP3 or non-stereo WAV? :) Kathy.. very touching my dear. sudo

George, Everyone's ignoring you because we don't know the answer. It sounds like a Motown be-bop group but I just don't know. You have clues perhaps?? sudo

Kathy, Re:"Thank you for your links. They are enjoyable." Yeah yeah. Now just take a gander on this LAST one I posted then sudo

Rick, Re:"...but isn't that Andy and Helen from the Andy Griffith Show?" You're half right but Hiway29 is 100% right. It was Elinor Donahue singing with Andy Griffith and what a great rendition it was, too, IMO. I never knew she could sing. Can anyone remember her singing anywhere else? Can it possibly be true that I have just posted (click HERE!) the ONLY recording of Elinor Donahue in song? But C'mon everyone.. did you LIKE the song or not? That's part of this thing, you know. Personally? I think it was great!! I LOVED the way they did that song! I've gots lots of these tunes so I'm hoping we all have a great time here this Christmas season on the nostalgia thread. Here's a-Tonther one. Click HERE! And Hiway29?? You're doing good on the subtle thing :). sudo

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has screwed him out of ten million bucks; his bookkeeper is deaf. It was considered an occupational benefit, and the reason he got the job in the first place, since it was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything that he'd ever have to testify about in court. When the Godfather goes to shakedown the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million bucks, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language. The Godfather asks the bookkeeper: "Where is the 10 million bucks you embezzled from me?" The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the 10 million bucks is hidden. The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about." The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about." That's when the Godfather pulls out a 9 mm pistol, puts it to the bookkeepers temple, cocks it, and says: "Ask him again!" The attorney signs to the underling: "He'll kill you for sure if you don't tell him!" The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!" The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?" The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger." sudo

Hiway29, Sorry to have appeared to have ignored you but yes.. the film was indeed Bonnie Scotland. You good, dude :). But you really need to install Real Player to see some things I've got to post. Go to this link HERE! and choose the Basic (free) Player instead of the one they want to charge you for. Then check out my '60's CBS commercial post George and Kathy commented on. I can't believe Nostalgiacs don't remember this one (HERE!) that was so popular. But since EVERYBODY recognized the Lucy and Desi Christmas episode I'll bring it up one notch to ANOTHER very best TV-show-ever-made catagory. And OK.. ya'll may well know who the male singer is and figure out the show but I daresay nobody will know who the female singer is when the song starts. If you *DO* then you need to go into TV nostalgia full time . Another think I want to bring up is how the television studios' Christmas episodes didn't blink about singing overtly Christian Christmas songs. Click HERE! and see how moving they could do these on black and white tv shows with no stereo. So who is the lady? What year? I'll give you this much.. it was the series' first year. sudo

Kathy, Maybe you're just a tad too young to remember it. It was late 60's. sudo

Looks like that TV show's Christmas episode wasn't hard to get.. The info I got on it said it was the first year's Christmas episode so what would that be? 1951 or 1952?? And I can't be-leeeeve there are those of us here who didn't just love that show. I STILL catch episodes when they come on TV Land or where ever. C'mon guys.. one word.. Vitameatavegamin. That's about the funniest skit that has EVER appeared on TV. Tell ya'll what... I'll see if I can't find it on the internet somewhere and post it. I just love this time of year and I know I say that every year on this thread but I've got some pretty good Christmas stuff to post for ya'll. Here's one I *know* you all will remember, though you will have to have Real Player installed to view it. Its animation so I know Hiway29 will appreciate it. Click HERE! and see if you can remember the year. sudo

Littlehawk, Sorry but I see I'm late checking in here. Glad you had a great day, too! See you next year at the weenie roast again?? sudo

A little suggestion which may be a wee bit off topic.. In the kitchen, always use at least a capful of bleach in the soap when scrubbing down ANYTHING animal juices could have contaminated. sudo

I think you guys are right... no mayo at Taco Bell but I wouldn't know as I haven't eaten there in several years. That may change, though, because I understand they are going to take the trans fats out of their food !!!!! I'm not as vigilant as, say, a vegan when it comes to what I will put into my mouth but by golly I decided several years ago that I would at least have a zero tolerance for trans fats!! sudo

Hey you guys!!! Are you in the Christmas holiday mood yet? I am and in my opinion.. the perfect time of year for our Nostalgia thread. Just look back over the years we have been doing this thread and see what's been posted this time of year. Though we haven't been a very active thread as of late, I would like to continue our Christmas traditions in a way I don't think we've done here before.... Excerpts from TV series' Christmas shows or specials. Do television series still do a Christmas show? Or is that considered too religious? I wouldn't know because I don't *watch* the shinola on TV today that passes for 'American' entertainment. First up is from arguably America's most beloved TV series. Click HERE! and name what characters are doing the duet because for certain you guys will know the TV series and I don't want it all given away at once. One thing you guys could do if you're certain who it is and all is give the year this appeared. Now *THAT* might be bit challenging. And lastly (is that a real word??) does anyone actually remember seeing this episode? Personally?? I don't :( sudo

Farmer-wanna-be Sudo bought two horses, but could never remember which was which. A neighbor suggested that he cut the tail of one horse and that worked great until the other horse got his tail caught in a bush. It tore just right and looked exactly like the other horse's tail and 'ole Sudo was stuck again. The neighbor suggested Sudo notch the ear of one horse. That worked fine until the other horse caught his ear on a barbed wire fence. Once again city slicker Sudo couldn't tell them apart. The neighbor suggested he measure the horses for height. When he did, Sudo was very pleased to find that the white horse was 2 inches taller than the black.

Evan and Tom Strange, You guys are really low life. Here Belle was trying to discuss a serious topic and you two come in using despicable stereotypes to try and be funny. Blondes have to fight prejudice every day and get little respect. I just ran across a news story today that I think I will share to try to bring you Neanderthals into the 21st century... Blondinski, Poland (AP) A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?" In a hushed voice, the lady next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something." I'm blonde. Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm 6' tall, 200 lb and a black belt. The lady sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and she's a rugby player. The gal to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and she's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?" The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times." sudo (amazed at some peoples' insensitivity)
