Satori, The language on this series had gotten so foul I quit watching it over a year ago. Gawd, it was awful. Maybe they've cleaned it up a bit now but I had watched it from the very first episode. sudo

Hey guys, You know how it is when you're trying to get out of the house but the little lady has other plans for you? You want to go down to the neighborhood bar but SHE wants to go pick out curtains for the living room?? Welllll.. have *I* got the answer for YOU!! Just click HERE!!!!! sudo

Abigail, I want to add my condolences as well because I KNOW the pain of losing a beloved pet. However there's little to say to someone that is greiving that really helps. It's like someone with a very bad pain in their stomach, for instance. Everyone can offer sympathies but it doesn't do anything for the pain. The stomach hurts just as much as it did before everybody started commiserating. But even though it hurts just as much, maybe it could be a little comforting to know how others have gone through this, also. That's why I post to you. May you heal quickly. sudo

Hiway29, Yeah so far so good but.. what about Curly's wife? You know what happened to Curly when he underestimated lennie?? But when I saw the wife.. the first THING I thought was, "Uh-oh.. there's trouble". Anyone know WHY the the first clip (HERE!) is so happy yet the second one (HERE!) is so... so very sad?? sudo

Kathy, Re:"I don't know if I've seen it or not. But I want to know what those scenes were about once it's named please." Why thank you! I take that as a compliment. You don't know the movie but trust my tastes enough to want to know! I've got a bit of a handle on what music you like but I never can tell what movies folks are going to like. This one should be a favorite of classical buffs. Two pics.. 1) Which one is George? Which one is Lennie??? 2) Here's.... TROUBLE!! You see, I thought the acting was good enough that folks who hadn't even SEEN the movie could tell the happy clip (HERE!) from the heart wrenching clip (HERE!) even if they didn't exactly know the story. Tell you what, Kathy.. I'll let this hang out a bit longer and then I'll give the full scoop! sudo

Hey guys, If we're talking TV Nostalgia 'round here.. it doesn't get much better than William Shatner and crew does it? We've lost two major cast members. Bones and Scotty. What a time the 60's were, huh? And we think we have political struggles today. Star Trek came on at the same time that Adam West was Batman but yet on the nightly news we saw the horrors of Viet Nam. Here's two sound clips from a movie I think some of you may have seen 14 years ago. Its a very good movie, so if 14 years doesn't qualify for 'nostalgia' it'll qualify for a very good movie. Click HERE! for the happy clip. Its at the beginning of the movie. And Click HERE! for the very sad clip which happens at the end. They sound so very similar, too, don't they? Why would one be happy and the other so sad?? I'll tell you this much.. Lt. Dan is one of the characters! sudo

And lets not forget the Frisbee-terians.... They believe that when you die... your soul gets stuck on the roof top... and you can't get it down!! sudo

Bowtwi, Geeze.. I'm a day late again it seems. Still.. thinking of you my friend. Hope you have a great up coming year. sudo

Thanks for the feedback guys.. Kathy?? You having problems with my file? Anyone else?? I'm going to do a poll in 'Open' about Greasespotters' internet speeds again. I don't want to drive folks away from a fun thread like this just because they have only dial-up. Here's an audio for ANYONE who's reading this.. Click HERE! Funny how things change isn't it? I was just talking with ChattyKathy in e-mail about this very thing, too. Look how the Nostalgia thread has changed in the last 5 or 6 years! Rick, Wasway and myself were the only ones who posted tunes for years!! And we had to take an MP3 and break it down to a small WAV file so that it would play for everyone using a dial-up internet connection. And who was using a dial-up internet connection back then?? Nearly ALL of us! But now look. We routinely post large MP3's de rigeur. But it wasn't THAT long ago that we would post the watered down WAV and say that we had the good MP3 available on request. Now look at what I'm doing.. I'm posting video files fer Heavens' sake! And so far... so good. My my.. how things change. sudo (also remembering when he placed silver fillings :( )

Hey guys.. I've gots something new. A FAST place to upload video files so that everyone with broadband here will be able to view without a bunch of stutter. This movie was on this week, so of course, I ripped the most famous part. Click HERE! I'm thinking of doing another poll to see what kinds of internet connection speeds folks have.. but YOU guys let me know... Were you able to see this OK?? What's the movie??? sudo

Say.. Wasn't that a Brit produced TV show?? The accents sounded genuine. Does anyone need another clue??? sudo

Seth, I feel for 'ya, man. You're pretty messed up and it's probably not your fault. Bi-polar, ADHD and all that goes with it. If I had my druthers, I'd take physical pain any day over psychic pain. I hope things get better. sudo

Chas, Re:"Yeah, but where you live people call Laundry Detergent "Washing Powders"... even if it's liquid... And all carbonated beverages are "Coke".... even if it's really 7UP..." Sounds like you know us pretty well. I know you must have told us but obviously you've LIVED down here to know about the 'Coke' thing :). Cowgirl.. what a gorgeous swimming hole!! Looks like there could be some skinny dipping going on!! sudo

Cowgirl, What Kathy and Tops said.. that's a fun song and I know where it came from even if I don't know what a billabong is. I remember hearing that song (Waltzing Matilda) deciphered before but forget what everything was. A billabong wasn't a knap sack was it? Anyways, here's another fun song from the same movie as your song. Click HERE! Oh, and Chas.. If you hadn't told me that jams were shorts I wouldn't have known what you were talking about. Maybe its a regional thingee but I've never heard shorts called jams. Pajamas were sometimes shortened to jammies or jams. Or sometimes PJ's. We've called them poohs since our oldest was just beginning to talk. That's because her pajamas had Winnie the Pooh on them so pajamas got shortened to poohs. The thick cuddly winter pajamas were 'wooley poohs'. sudo

Mark, You know how it is... you get lots of joke e-mails, right? I do. But every now and then you see a real gem. Hee-hee! sudo

Cowgirl, Uh, I don't know what a billabong is. Is that a great big pipe that you use for smoking illegal substances, perhaps?? :blink: And as far as initials.. I'm trying to think but right now all I can come up with is SC... for Santa Claus. I mean, that's who he kinda' looks like, ya' think?? :) sudo

Three young nuns who worked the Catholic hospital were in the pew waiting to go into the confessional.... The first nun entered and said, "Forgive me father for I have sinned. While performing my duties as a surgical assistant, I unexpectedly SAW a man's private parts. And while I know that there is nothing sinful in that act as I was doing a needed work, what I have to confess is that... it gave me unpure thoughts." The priest was a kindly old man who understood the emotions of young women and said simply, "Say 10 Hail Mary's sister, then go wash your eyes in the fountain of holy water in the courtyard". The second nun entered and said, "Forgive me father for I have sinned. While performing my duties as a nurse, I had to TOUCH the private parts of a man. And while I know that there is nothing sinful in that act as I was doing a needed work, what I have to confess is that... I LUSTED after him, father! Oh, how I lusted!" The kindly priest was a little more disturbed at this nun's confession but still remembered the passions of youth. He thought about it and then said simply, "Say 20 Hail Mary's sister, then go wash your hands in the fountain of holy water in the courtyard". So the two nuns were out in the courtyard beside the fountain. One splashing her eyes the other washing her hands. And though they were nuns, they started to do what all women are wont to do... they started gossiping between themselves what the third nun could be confessing. All of a sudden, the tranquility of the courtyard is disturbed as the third nun comes barging in rather loudly and saying, "Move aside girls!! I've got to gargle!" sudo

Cowgirl, I know.. I know!! ooh ooh ooh... It's the same guy who sang this one.. Click HERE! I loved the guy but did you know he sometimes played a bad guy?? Yeah, that's a great tune that is popular with barber shop quartets. sudo

A guy orders a 5 day/10 pounds weight loss program. Three days later, he answers the knock on his door and there stands a voluptuous 21 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you catch me, you can have me." Without a second thought, the guy takes off after her. A few miles later, huffing and puffing, he realizes he can't catch her and finally gives up the chase.The same babe shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. He just can't catch her. On the fifth day, he weighs and is pleased that he has lost 10 lbs as promised! He calls the company and orders their 5 day/20 pounds program. Three days later, there's a knock on his door and there stands the most beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me, you can have me". Well, he's after her like a shot! The woman is in excellent shape and he finally realizes he can't catch her. For the next four days, the same routine happens. On the fifth day, he weighs and discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs as promised! He decides to go for broke and calls to order the 7 day/50 pounds program. "Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. ?This is our most rigorous program." "Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years." Three days later, he answers the knock on his door and there stands Richard Simmons, wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you're mine!" sudo

Moony, Which version would you prefer my dear? Simon and Garfunkle?? sudo

Geo, Re:"Any song with "groovy" in the lyrics could only inhabit a very brief period in history. Say about 1966?" So how about what I think is the most *famous* example? What year? Who did it? Click HERE! Anyone know?? Hey.. I just loved the song, too. sudo

Geo, Re:"..the covered plate petite dejeuner actually held a dead parrot, didn't it?" I just watched this one again so I am now an authority. Yes.. there was a cooked parrot in one scene. Uh, I think the bird was more a parakeet, though. Bette had claimed that the bird had escaped while she was cleaning the cage and flown outside. Then when we saw that it was the cooked birdy she was serving Joan Crawford we realized her decent into mental illness. But later in the picture, she also served a rat to Joan but this time we knew it was a possibility as opposed to when she served the birdy. See, we had no idea she was as sick as she was when she served the bird. It was a shock. But when she brought in the tray to Joan that had the rat, she made the comment to her that they had rats in the cellar. So we knew that there was a good possiblility that when Blanche Hudson lifted the lid.. there would be a rat under there. But we didn't know for sure.. maybe Baby Jane was just playing with Blanche's head. And Blanche didn't know for sure either. But she was starving to death and willing to take a chance. She lifted the lid and.... As I understand it, Bette Davis insisted that she be made up to look as repulsive as she could to be consistent with the charactrer she was playing but that the make-up artists (used to dealing with vain aging prima donas) just wouldn't do it. She then doctored the makeup herselfto be truly hideous. sudo

Goey, Your link doesn't allow us to hear it but I've gots a good one. Click HERE! And you thought I'd be upset because they're associating a Southern accent with none-too-brightness? Naw... sudo (who LOVES the old WB cartoons!)

My3cents, But that's the very heart of orthodox Christianity. The Great Commission. Word over the world. Saving the "lost". Saving them from what? From burning in Hell for ever and ever because they're not Christians. Yeah, I agree with you.. it gets non-believers boiled in oil for rejecting The Christ®. Dangerous stuff. But Christians today aren't nearly as bad about it like they used to be. It's the Muslims who are getting all the bad press over it today. Geeze... which is worse you think? Being dropped slowly into boiling oil by a Catholic Lord High Inquisitor or having your head slowly cut off with a not so sharp scimiter by a Sunni Muslim? Decisions decisions. Religions.. sudo

Geo, C'mon, its gonna' be a fun time. They're selling square inches of Hell real estate for $6.66 a pop. Hey! At that price we could get ourselves a nice piece of Hell to call our own, huh? Still, I'd hate to have to buy it when I'm being assured by some of my best friends here on Greasespot that I'm going there for a very long time. But no... If I'm going to have to go there, its better to buy than to rent, wouldn't you think? Wouldn't want to go into debt over being sent to Hell. I could get M & A'd over that which would mean VPW and LOY wouldn't be allowed to speak to me there. sudo (bringing his own ice water)
