Thought you guys might remember.. I was a little too big by the time the Archie cartoons came on but I read the comic books and my... I thought Veronica was something.. Maybe some guys preferred Betty?? sudo

Oenophile, Re:"Despite the fact that I ignored with reckless abandon the standard caveat that we adolescent males were charged with, my vision is fine for a middle aged guy." Hee-hee! But do you have to shave the palms of your hands?? sudo (who did it until he needed glasses)

Kathy, Yeah... we's gots competition now for top spot in the 'Gallery'. And we used to be top dog too!!! My, how things change. OK.. gots one you and your vintage may know because it was one of those popular Saturday morning cartoons in 1968. I was in high school then and didn't really watch cartoons any more. Oh, I'm not talking about good Warner Brothers' Road Runner, Tweety Bird cartoons.. but you listen to this theme and quite obviously, they were trying to sound like an English pop group.

Hey Radar!! Happy Birthday!!! I wish I were more witty :( <center>sudo</center>

Oenophile, Hee-hee! Cowgirl's messing with you, guy! There's still a computer forum here. I think its where it always wuz but I just saw it before coming here. But as your question I'm sorry I'm no help and I'm no computer slouch either! So let me ask you this.. can you see Cowgirl's binoculars OK??? sudo

Anyone up for a 'funny'?? Anyone got something to add?? It's the weekend.. We've had snow here in Memphis today.. the place is gorgeous and I'm in a good mood. So here's what you get when you dial the mental health hotline (go on and listen to it George.. it's an MP3 but short) .. Click on the Mental Health Hotline sudo (who took the following pic of his house today!!)

Have any of you guys noticed how we Southeners like to take a one syllable word and make two syllables out of it? I was noticing this fact this very week. I had one of my not-so-regular patients call up because he had a tooth bothering him. He came in and sure enough it was one of his front teeth that I had been TELLING him was going to start bothering him if he didn't get it fixed. Now, I told him it was going to require a root canal and a crown for a grand total of about $1,400 or he could have his front tooth pulled and start calling himself 'Bubba'. If he had gone on and gotten it fixed when I had told him, it would have set him back a little over $100. His reaction? One word.. two syllables.. Dey-um!!! sudo (who gets to say 'I told you so' a LOT)

Kathy, Hiway29 is right.. that TV show didn't have much to do with flowers, eh? In a way it had a Green Acres kind of theme.. New Yorkers plunged into backyard America. So does anyone remember what they paid for their Meet The Beatles album? Does anyone still HAVE that album still? I bet it would be worth some money. Oh and Mooney.. I have My Bonnie at home I'm pretty sure. Would you like to hear it? And one more question.. Kathy, did you really like that TV series? I didn't watch it that much and seems to me it wasn't on that long. Most TV series that were made to follow up a popular movie don't do that well but there are notable exceptions. Anyone remember M.A.S.H.? sudo (what? That was a movie first? )

Mooney, Yeah, that's it. Thanks for taking the time to find that pic. Yes I know that big band isn't everybody's cup 'a tea and I ALWAYS find that interesting as to what style of music people get into. I mean, I listen to some of this rap or hip-hop coming out of booming speakers in cars beside me in traffic and I can't understand how that is appealing to anybody. I remember hearing my parents and their generation lambasting the early Beatles. Not their later psychedelic stuff mind you but their early stuff... the music that I would think would be appealing to most everyone. Stuff from their first "Meet The Beatles" abum like "I Want To Hold Your Hand". How could anyone not like that music? But they did. Called it a flash in the pan.. wouldn't hold up. You know what I'm talking about. Maybe you guys don't care for bigband music. I can understand that. But that first Beatles album?? For my favorite song on it... click HERE! I bought that album with my hard earned paper route money. Seems to me it was $4.50 for the stereo album. Do ya'll remember that you could buy those albums back then in stereo or mono? Is this nostalgic, guys?? sudo

A little something for you guys to ponder... We know how to substantiate whether or not drugs or any kind of treatment modalities work. Or not. Its simple. You run tests on those using the products and a control group who do not use the product. This is widely known. You don't have to be a health care professional to understand or appreciate it. So.. if we have people who can't quite grasp this simple concept and will spend money on products that have been proven worthless.. what chance do we have of people ever getting wise to religious gurus promising abundant life, good health and prosperity for following their teachings? When there is next to NO way to prove or disprove their claims? sudo

Cholesterol is not innocent though reading the cholesterol myth links may give you that impression. The statins have proven to lower mortality though the reasons aren't entirely related to lowering cholesterol. For some information I think is useful click HERE! Its a little dry. :( sudo

Kathy, Sounds like you're getting Mooney's coffee bug. Or maybe Ala's wake up music did it for you. IT made me think of a very old tune by Irving Berlin written in 1932 when things weren't so good in America. And I guess if we had someone old enough hanging 'round here it would qualify as nostalgia. As it is.. it makes me think of my favorite uncle who was 18 years old when this song came out. He died in a plane crash many years ago but he used to sing this song... knew all the words. When things looked bleak during the depression.. this song was very comforting to folks. Because the theme was something that poor people... even people thrown out of work could usually do... have another cup of coffee... and another piece of pie. Click HERE! sudo

I can remember his tracts from the late 60's or early '70's.. They were scary to me! I was a teenager who had been brought up Southern Baptist believing that if you weren't a born again Christian you were going to Hell when you died! And there, you were tortured for eternity! Burning in a lake of fire! Feeling all the agony of your flesh being burnt off only it NEVER stopped.. this was going to be happening to you for ever and ever and.. EVER!!!!! Didn't matter if you had lived in Africa or where ever and had never even heard of Jesus Christ.. you were worthy of death anyways for just being a sinner. So I see these Chick tracts and I start sweating all over again like I'm in a Baptist preaching service. Scary stuff. Folks who really believe that chit are only about a notch up from the Muslims who think making fun of their "prophet" is worthy of death. Its the same kind of thinking. Just a teensy less extreme. sudo

George, Good question! And for me?? The answer is.. (and there's really no meandering over possible answers in my head)... Carolyn Jones!! I hear what Hiway29 is saying about Yvonne DeCarlo in her heady days but she NEVER did anything for me! Do you guys remember Charlton Heston in the 1956 version of The Ten Commandments? You remember his love interst in the movie? Why of course it was Anne Baxter playing nefretiri, right? She wound up marrying 'ole wicked Pharoah number two played by Yul Brenner and egging him on to do bad stuff to Moses. Remember? Sure you guys do.. she was a real head turner. BUT!! How 'bout the Hebrew woman that Moses met and married? Sephora? Or something like that?? THAT was Yvonne DeCarlo. She just wasn't one of my favorites. But Ms. Jones?? I loved her sly little smile!!! sudo

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this: COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou. ABBOTT: Your computer? COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one. ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou. ABBOTT: What about Windows? COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here? ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows? COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows? ABBOTT: Wallpaper. COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software. ABBOTT: Software for Windows? COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have? ABBOTT: Office. COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything? ABBOTT: I just did. COSTELLO: You just did what? ABBOTT: Recommend something. COSTELLO: You recommended something? ABBOTT: Yes. COSTELLO: For my office? ABBOTT: Yes. COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office? ABBOTT: Office. COSTELLO: Yes, for my office! ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows. COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need? ABBOTT: Word. COSTELLO: What word? ABBOTT: Word in Office. COSTELLO: The only word in office is office. ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows. COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows? ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W". COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: I need money to track my money? ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer. COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer? ABBOTT: Money. COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer? ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge. COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much? ABBOTT: One copy. COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money? ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money. COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money? ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT! (A few days later) ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off? ABBOTT: Click on "START"............. sudo

Chef, I don't know what it means either but the longer I'm out the less I can remember about TWI's terms. And something else.. they were always adding terms. "old wineskin"? That was one I didn't hear (I left about '87) and of course all the 'prevailing this' or 'prevailing that'. That was TWI II Martindale stuff. Happy ho-ho-relo?? That was after me too. The word Christmas was just fine when I was in. sudo

I think we all know why I'm posting this.. click on Grandpa's picture :( Did we not ALL.. every one of us... watch this program?? I mean.. its so entrenched we don't really have to ask what TV show it was do we? Pure nostalgia. It doesn't bother me that it wasn't critically acclaimed. It wasn't that type of show. I remember that it was shown early while Momma was cleaning up the kitchen. And you know what?? it ran for only TWO seasons. So why is it that I remember it as running for years and years?? Man.. this takes me way back. sudo

Lifted Up and Wacky, I didn't mean to ignore this thread. Sorry but yes I get scam stuff all the time. I had another thread about this subject but what got me on this one was the religious nature. I thought it would be interesting for those of us who were once duped by sincere sounding religious people to see how these scammers can use the same angle. sudo

Kathy, It just moved from network to another.. click HERE! To tell you the truth.. I didn't really appreciate it as a kid. I watched it but thought it was a little strange. But in about 1985 a local UHF channel here in Memphis started showing the re-runs in the late afternoon. They followed the Andy Griffith Show which I watched religiously so one day.. since I was in front of the boob tube anyways.. I caught Rocky & Bullwinkle. I probably hadn't seen an episode since I was a child and was shocked at how GOOD it was! All the cold war satire that had been going over my head! I was hooked and watched every episode the station had... and I'm pretty sure they didn't have them all.. because they started repeating episodes before having showed them all. Hiway29 and I were talking about stilted animation but this was a cartoon where the stilted animation actually made it BETTER, IMO!! If folks want realism, they can watch Disney but Fearless Leader is much more effective when caricatured. Just my opinion again. Can you guys tell I love that show? It hasn't shown on Memphis TV for years now :( . sudo

Ted, So you guys are going to be living in sunny Florida, huh? You tired of the snow or something? Actually, I wish we had a little of the white stuff here like Cowgirl does. My kids are beginning to think we've been lying to them all this time about how we USED to get snow here in Memphis. Say.. how are you at cartoon themes? I have one that I knew Hiway29 would probably know but wasn't sure about anybody else.. OK, Hiway29... here's one you'll undoubtedly know right off... being in the bizness and all. But don't give it away!!!! One thing I am curious about is who does the voice of "Oh, joy!" in the clip? It sounds like Ed Wynn to me but its not.... Click HERE! sudo

A rich couple was going out for the evening when the woman of the house decided to give the butler, Jeeves, the rest of the night off. She said they would be home very late and he should just enjoy his night. Well, as it turned out the wife wasn't having a good time at the party, and came home early. As she walks into the house she sees Jeeves sitting by himself in the dining room. She calls for him to follow her. She leads him into the master bedroom, where she closes and locks the door. She looks at him and smiles. "Jeeves. Take off my dress." He does this carefully. "Jeeves. Take off my stockings and garter." He silently obeys her. "Jeeves. Take off my bra and panties." Again, he silently obeys her. The tension was really getting tight as she smiles and look at Jeeves. "Jeeves" she said "If I ever catch you wearing my clothes again, you're fired" sudo

Ron, I wonder which would win in a to-the-death match.. a kitty this size??? Or a medium grizzley bear? Oh, I don't know why that question would pop into my head... but gots to admit that's the first thing I thought of when I saw that pic. How lethal is a cat like that? Funny, you almost never hear of them killing people like grizzley bears sometimes do. sudo

Sushi, I think I know the show. The little boy had a common name but spelled it funny. And whatever happened to his momma? I don't think most mommas would let their sons speed around in high powered boats and heliocopters and such. Also, this was an example of that stilted animation in the 1960's that I hated. Even then, as a little kid, I could appreciate the difference. sudo

Ex-10th, Oh man.. you guys love Rotel in Texas just like here in Memphis?? I'll have you know my son insists on having Rotel at any and all functions where there's going to be a food fest. But around here.. we usually sop it up with white (restaurant) Frito-Lay tortilla chips. Not to say Fritos aren't good either. And yeah.. you know me.. I would prefer the vinagar based sauce to the sweet stuff. Belle.. I was reading your recipes earlier today and hadn't had lunch! THAT was a big mistake but let me ax you a question... that crab dip you posted.. I printed it up and passed it around the office today to see what the ladies thought about it. The consensus was that (like you said) it was "different". I'm really tempted to try it out... so tell me.. is it yummy? I mean.. the coconut sounds strange but then again.. could be just the thing. sudo
