Billy: "Henning, yeah...gone.  I told him, told him...trim your f****** beard like that and you're history"

CNN: "Have you had any contact with Karl since you and Dusty sacked him"?

Billy: "Hell no, he mosied over to Boston few yeaaars back, ain't seen him since.  Heard he dumb gone all classical on us, composin' his own stuff nowadays, man's plain stupid told him, trim your beard and you're gone can accept one guy with no beard but Karl was our back up man, trim that goddam beard and he's gone, no more ZZ for him, dang fool"

CNN: "Is there anything more you wish to add Billy"?

Billy: "Yeah, White Knights, what the hell in tarnation is that a name for a new 'gittar LP....gonna whoop his ass next time I'sees him"

Dave, you should have become a general practitioner...you fit exactly the part of the kindly village doc who's delivered most of the town's kids.

Congratulations on your 37th. We've just passed our 30th. It appears it's going to last  ;)


Thanks, Sarge - glad that you picked the right picture!  ;D  Actually, to my residents over the years (who are now younger than my son), I've been their 'kindly & patient' mentor -  :)

Congrats to us both for lasting 30+ years!  Tonight, just a nice 'snack' dinner w/ some 'real' cheese, smoke fish (trout & salmon), and some other goodies + a bottle of French champagne in the frig (usually drink domestic, but special time) - then we're headed to the mountains for a few nights (Blowing Rock near Boone - a quick get-away for us) - have a couple of nice dinners planned - Dave  :D

This thread was 4 pages long when I logged off last night and now its 12 pages and counting!! Just shows there far more posting going on in the Northern hemisphere while I'm sleeping 0:)

Its wonderful to put faces to the screen names especially Bill, Dave, Sarge, Harry, George, Karl, Bruce etc etc.

I chuckled at your '40s matinee idol' comment Sarge ;D ;)

QuoteRight. Mrs. Rock is fanatical about the game. She belongs to several forums that have members who create and post new characters. She'd love to have Bonehelm.

OMG, how funny. Me too. Does she visit ModTheSims2? I agree on Bonehelm! That game can be so incredibly lifelike, almost creepy... But it's such a big time suck, I collected them all and now don't play anymore as I've totally given myself over to the classical music addiction.

I also used to like to play SimCity (4), another very fun game that feels a bit more purposeful. And it has a neat soundtrack which sounds about as close to John Adams and Steve Reich as imaginable, actually it kind of "helped" me into minimalism.  :D

Just want to say a huge thank you to all for contributing to this thread. I worried that no one would feel like doing this all over again, and that the thread would sink like a stone. It's been wonderful checking back here over the past 24 hours to see what y'all look like. :)

And Tony, love that ZZ Top skit. ;D

OK, SW - being a radiologist, I'm pretty much a 'visual' kind of guy, so let me take the first comparison from Sarge's comment - Richard Egan, quite a popular 'hunk' from the '50s, great in 'soaps & H-men' type films of the times, like A Summer Place from '59:

I would offer a photo of myself, but then everyone would just think of me as a show-off.  Yes, I look THAT good.

I never drink alcoholic beverages.  Pills, powders and stuff attached to branches are another matter.

Go on. Do it. I think it really helps to picture the people you spend so much time chatting with online.

She does, religiously, daily, but I don't know if she's very active there or just a lurker. She's asleep now. I'll ask her tomorrow what name she uses. Either ID or Fafner, I believe.

Yeah, it does take up an incredible amount of time. On the bright side, she can't give me any grief about all the time I spend here  ;D

he was as f*cked-up as you are."

As I have posted before, ESPN brodcaster Dan Patrick nails it for me Dave!

Was A Summer Place one of those cool crime-jazz type shows/movies? I'm happy to be identified with that :) Thanks Dave ;)

But, Bill - he's not a '50s 'matinee idol' -  ;)  But that is a good comparison, too - Dave  ;D

Know all about this. We gotta get wireless networking now the wife is gonna be home with baby while I'm home 'working' (surfing, more like ;D). She frequents four forums - girlie stuff like pregancy/birth sites, cosmetics, that sort of thing - while I only come here. I spent too much time in too many other forums (fora?) once upon a time, so I limit myself now. Hopefully, that'll keep arguments over internet time to a minimum. ;D

No, A Summer Place was a sappy tear-jerker movie that can best be described as a "chick flick".  Not a good one either.
