Kathy, Naw... not such a great movie in my book. I just liked the song. Congrats to Mooney and George who knew this one right off. Mention Maurice Chavalier to anyone under 40 and they have no idea who he is. sudo

Rule One If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early." Rule Six I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

I can't vouch for it but it's MSN so it's not totally bogus. Just stick in your zipcode. For some reason (not explained by local/state taxes) Mississippi gasoline is 10-15¢ cheaper than in Tennessee. A year ago I wouldn't have thought I would be glad to get gas at $2.82/gal like I did today. http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx?zip=&src=Netx sudo

I've been absent a lot haven't I?? It's turned into a real fun thread thanks to you chatters, though. Here's an oldie that's always cracked me up that I posted it not too terribly long ago. Now.. is this typical men and women?? And isn't the woman probably always right in these cases? Such sentimentalists men are :P . Click HERE! and name artists, movie etc... And Kathy.. this one is from my Road Runner site so you should be able to hear it. sudo

Satori, Now that's better. All of us senesitive types around here, you know. I was trying to think of an appropriate sad sound to post, you know, showing how much we cared and all. Something to go along with, "Don't let the door hit you......" sudo

Satori, That seemed a bit insensitive. Isn't it obvious that CM is a bit messed up and in need of a little sympathy? He used to be messed up on drugs, you know. But then he found Jesus and now he's messed up on the Lord. Tch tch tch... I expected better out of you. sudo (with apologies to Cheech and Chong)

Mooney, Re:"That was no lady. That was Janis Joplin, my dear!" Naw naw naw.. I KNEW it wasn't Janis Joplin so I googled it. 'Twas Joan Baez, my dear. Go on and double check me.. :P. I wonder if sad songs about the South's hard times and defeat make non-Southerners shed a tear like we Southerners do? And Ala... No.. I never saw that video but I don't need to because we BOTH appreciate The Band. Hey, Ala.. Can your computer rip any of those songs and then e-mail them to me? Maybe not. You guys want something a little different? How about an act that was performed 1000's of times live, on radio and even got filmed? I've seen it on TV but all I could get my hands on was an audio. That's OK because that's how it was usually heard back in the 40's and 50's... on radio. I can guarantee you all that we are the last to have ANY recollection of this duo. My kids have never heard their names. Though they were never my favorites (mainly because their TV show was TERRIBLE) they did a few good movies.... and this skit which is hillarious. For you guys who aren't so familiar with older stuff you MIGHT not know who did this right off. I asked Carol and she thought it was Laurel and Hardy. NOT!!!!!! So I'd like to know 1) If you've heard it before and 2) If ya'll know the two guys and any of their stuff. Click HERE! sudo

Rick, Fannie.. Annie.. whatever its still a good song and The Band was a good, uh, band :) . I much prefer their version of The Night They Drove 'Ole Dixie Down to that lady folks singer's version. I wonder if they are from the South?? sudo

Ex-70's, I heard Paul Harvey mention this smae thing this morning and I was puzzled as to why he did it today. It's not his birthday. He was born January 8, 1935. Still, it would be interesting to see an artist's rendition of an Elvis aged to 70 years old.... and 300lbs. I don't think it would be a pretty picture :blink:. Death might have been a good career move for him. sudo

Thanks again guys... Here we were at the Mid-South fair. Trouble daughter is on the far right. The young man on my right is my oldest daughter's boyfriend. Didn't make the concert. Past my night-night time :lol: <img src=http://www.lroom.org/public/users/bowdend/alluvus.jpg> sudo

Sushi, Hee-hee! Great Tom Waits song. And Geo.. I kinda' like his performance. In the mold of Bob Dylan don't you think? Now.. Like Rick said, Sushi.. now that you know how to do it.. go get some more tunes for us!!! sudo

Hey Rick, Was that the one from Easy Rider or Little Feat?? I was in such a smokey daze... I don't remember much. Hee-hee! sudo

Hmmmm.. Sounds like sombody is Bogarting sudo

Aw Geeze guys... :wub: , Yes, had quite a nice day thank-you-all-so-very-much. Even went down to Ole Miss to help out my college fraternity for rush while picking my oldest up to come home. Man, those college students are getting younger every year! Today is Midsouth fail day for us all and we haven't ever missed a fair. Tonight on the main stage Grand Funk Railroad will be playing. They always have good music on the last Saturday of the fair. Last year it was Lee Greenwood and the year before that Loretta Lynn. And the performance is free with fair admission, too. Last year, trouble daughter was too embarrassed to be seen with us so she went her separate way. She knows she can't do that now so I'm hoping she'll resign herself to having a good time with the family like she did when she was 10 years old :). Probably not <_< . <center>sudo</center>

Ala, Oh, but if you were male.. she was eye candy to behold... and that "come hither" look on her face as she was licking her finger. Ummm-ummm. And guys... a little present for you. But especially for Rick who voiced his concerns... look at what you now get when you post a reply. I guess I know people in high places :D sudo

Irisheyes, Re:"Would you believe I've never sat through Gone with the Wind from beginning to end?" It's one of the best movies ever made. I don't know of anyone who was ever disappointed that they watched it. So fiddle-dee-dee.. go on and watch it tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day. I'll cry into my pillow every night until you do! sudo

Rick, I'm like you.. I'd take a little more boredom and a lot less stress any 'ole day. But we often take postitions of stress for just what Kathy has mentioned... more filthy lucre :D . It's a balancing act each one of us has to work out.. how much stress for how much money. The older I get the less stress I'm willing to take. I Like your selection, Rick. You're giving us a taste of Herb Albert are you not? sudo P.S. I think the moderators are working on the HTML thingee right now. It's working for PM's.

Rick, I never thanked you for posting tunes while I was away so thanks dude! Howsome-ever, the only tune I recognized was The Monkey's theme. My 9th grade girlfriend loved them and especially little wimp Davey Jones <_< . The Cagney and Lacey theme sounded familiar but like Kathy.. I couldn't quite place it. That was as good as I could do. I'm glad ya'll liked Get Smart. I was surprised Don Adams was that old. There he was marrying agent 99 and all back in the 60's. Didn't they even have a kid in the series?? Anywho.. When we got back to New York we flew home from La Guardia airport but I was thinking about JFK airport down the street and what it USED to be called. That made me think of a theme song where the name is mentioned. Anyone remember, "oh!!.. oh!!... oh!!!"?? Click HERE! A Shot From One Of The Aft Decks sudo

Sorry I'm so delinquent folks but better late than never, huh? One that now makes me feel a little sad.. nostalgia, 'ya know. This TV show added several phrases to the vernacular. Click HERE! sudo

I'm really glad to see there is going to be such a good time... LittleHawk.. Rascal might want those vittles on Friday night... when I was going to bring the stew. And Jardinero is in the process of getting my cabin. Belle.. unlike Evan, I don't disparage the bulldog mascot because if ya'll like it, then its fine with me, too. I've always felt a little sorry for all of you. I can see you don't care much for Ole Miss and I understand. Mississippi State folks must feel a little like 2nd class citizens when compared to Ole Miss and I empathize. Even though we're arch rivals, I actually pull for State to win their football games. You go on supporting Mississippi State, dear. I won't cast stones or make fun of you like so many others do. sudo

Jardinero, You may want my cabin. Geeze everyone, I'm not going to be able to attend this year after all. I was to have the better-than-sex beef stew Friday night after all and I know folks were looking forward to it even if my stew is a bit over-rated. Rascal... you're going to have to make other arrangements for Friday night and I really really hate doing this. But as the saying goes... circumstances beyond my control. I don't know if ya'll are really interested in the "why" but I think I need to explain. First off.. I was going to be hard pressed anyway because I am the President-elect of the Ole Miss alumni band and have obligations for football games where the Ole Miss band will be performing. October 8th is the weekend Ole Miss plays The Citadel and though I can miss a dang football game, its a home game, and I was going to have to inconvenience other people to do my job. I could do that for one game, though I figured. This was going to be my 3rd weenie roast after all. But we just got back yesterday from a 7 day Bermuda cruise and walked into headaches galore thanks to our 16 year old daughter. She was staying with a family friend who also has a daughter her same age. Putting the two of them together brings out the worst in both, it appears. I wouldn't expect that a teenager's unruly behavior would cancel my plans for a long awaited and duly planned-for event like the weenie roast. I could have dealt with her skipping school those two days. And nobody got hurt at the party she had at our house with no adult supervision. Our family friend had no idea what a resourceful and imaginative liar she could be to pull off such a stunt. But the coup de grâce with which she was able to end my weenie roast plans was... wrecking her car. Yep. That did it because now we're a car short and I simply have no way to get to the weenie roast. Probably, the car is totalled but I won't know for sure until I talk to an insurance adjuster this week. Still, even if it's fixable, it won't be ready by then but really... I'm pretty sure we're out one car for now. Best to just let you guys know now while there's still nearly two weeks to plan. I even thought about borrowing a car or just renting a car but there are other issues involved in dealing with this. Not the least of which is the fact that she had been drinking. I'm not going to go into everything but for the next few weeks, guys, this is not the time for me to be taking off for a long weekend weenie roast. And I really am sorry. As I said.. I have a reservation for a cabin from Friday Oct. 7th to Sunday the 9th. A cabin just to myself. I plan on cancelling that this week. I understand that the park is full now so if anyone wants it, they can post here or e-mail me at: dbdbdb@midsouth.rr.com and we can co-ordinate my cancelling so that the cabin is available for weenie roast attendees. I've had a great time at the last two roasts. I'm going to miss being there. sudo

I'm telling you guys.... I can quit anytime I want to but.... had 5 min. left on the card --> sudo (from IP address 199.172.255.230)

Hey guys!!! Ya'll been missing me? I'm posting from Hamilton, Bermuda... in an internet cafe. I've gotta' tell you... this Bermuda thingee is overblown, IMO. There's an internet cafe on the ship but it's 40 cents a dang minute. This joint is 30 minutes for $5 so I thought at those rates, I'd splurge and take a test drive. Just to see how the connection is and all.. not that I was having any kind of withdrawal-from-the-internet symptoms. Naw.. I could quit any time I want, I tell you. I'm just seeing how the, uh, service is here. Yeah.. that's the ticket. We'll be leaving tomorrow night I think. Fine with me. I've been here long enough. Supposed to be getting back to New York Friday morning.. then a taxi to LaGuardia. Then to Memphis by Sat late afternoon. Hop into a car and drive to Oxford for the first Ole Miss home game. Not that anyone really cares what all I'm doing but.. here's a keyboard. Gotta' type. Must type. Must post. NO! I can stop.. really I can. When I get back home.. there'll be pictures to download and edit. Pictures to upload and link to. Ah! I'm feeling much better now just thinking about it. I can hang on that long. Yes, I'll be OK now... :D--> sudo P.S. Did I mention I've been missing everyone?? :)-->

Geeze Rick.. Couldn't convert Kathy's song? Why bother converting it when the MP3 version is all over the internet? Yep.. just went and downloaded it and man was the traffic heavy. Everyone was wanting a copy and no wonder... click HERE! and you'll see why. So Kathy.. that somg that sounded like a cavalry charge to you?? The one Geo had recognized as being so ardous for the trumpet or bugle and reminded him of the Canadian Brass? The one that 1K names said sounded like something from the Great White North?? Well, I'm going to give it (HERE!) away now. It's the theme to the Dudley Do-Right cartoons that were shown on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. That's what George was talking about when he mentioned Brendan Fraser and the movie version they made of it a few years ago. I'm trying to play a little catch up on the thread before I go. I hope I haven't left anyone out. You see guys... I'm not going to be around for the next 10 days :(-->. Carol and I are leaving on a jet plane don't know when we'll be back again... oh, hold on, yes.. we'll be back on Sunday the 25th. We're going on a 7 day cruise to Bermuda and I don't *think* I'm going to have internet access on the cruise ship. If it is available then I might get to post some but if not... you guys won't see my font for a while. Rick... you're gonna' have to take up the slack. Enough time goofing off. Maybe you can get Wasway to help out but 'fer sure I'm not going to be posting for a while. I'll have to post some pics when I get back, huh? I'm going to miss this thread but I'm sure things will go on as before. Kathy... are you still going to be doing morning greetings for everyone?? I'll have to get another waving smiley posted, I guess. --> Have fun guys and behave yourselves on the Nostalgia thread... I'll be back before you know it. sudo

Ala, I agree with you, the Warner Bros. cartoons were far and away the better cartoons for animation. I can still crack up watching a good Road Runner-Wile E Coyote cartoon. It was the way they depicted the laws of physics tormenting poor Wile E. whenever he had some scheme to get the road runner all figured out. A rocket on his back and wearing roller skates.... using a tree bent over as a slingshot... whatever... and he hadn't figured on the extra acceleration or something. Rocky and Bullwinkle is much more entertaining to me now than it was then though I haven't seen an episode in years. Hey Kathy... here's that link you couldn't hear placed on another site. Click HERE! and go on and take a guess. So far George is the only one and it looks like he knew it. sudo
