Nah, I like Spacey's picture there. (...that IS him, isn't it?)

OOPS! Sorry Mr.R..err..I mean Doug. OH yeah...Jan Smithers! The REAL babe on "WKRP"...not the peroxide blonde one. I agree.

Hey, a persons gotta do what a persons gotta do, TB. But I'll tell ya right now that this little "threat" comin' from you doesn't surprise me none, 'cause frankly ol' buddy, your fragile little ego is startin' to show a bit around here lately. And so as I just said, do whatcha gonna do, but I'll still be hangin' around readin' some of your otherwise entertaining and informative threads, and of course OCCASIONALLY insertin' my brand of "humor". (...that's not a threat, btw) LOL

Well, I can never tell behind those dark glasses you sport!

Aaah...and Tom, let us not forget the "F-Troop" episode "The Singing Mountie", and where Paul Lynde as the episode's title character is in hot pursuit of Corporal Agarn's(Larry Storch) French-Canadian "cousin", The Burglar of Banff-ff-ff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zegz65_8wuQ

I think I already apologized to you for this, TB. (...hmmmm..."apologize"...what a great concept, HUH?!...hint, hint) LOL

Speakin' of which here Vautrin...a little known "fact" is that the original script for "Psycho" had Janet Leigh returning to visit Tony Perkins in a spirit form and tellin' him, "I KNEW something was wrong with you after that whole 'a mother is a boy's best friend' line of yours!"

No harm, no foul then. And now in an attempt to lighten your present mood, might I suggest you head over to the George Brent thread and poke a little fun at the size of his behind. (...oooh, THAT'S right...you find doin' stuff like that "mean" and "repetitive" now, doncha...never mind then!) LOL

And thus why I "got it out of the way" EARLY in this baby!!! LOL (...man...sometimes Hibi, I'm sorry here but I think you "run hot-and-cold" around here sometimes with what you find "funny" and what you don't...and soooooo, my apologies here to both YOU for my attempt at "humor" AND to Mr. TB for my little offhanded joke)

Well first Hibi, the correct term to describe this vocal phenomenon of substituting the "R' sound for a "W" sound isn't a "lisp". It's known as "Rhotacism". Secondly, I agree with you that Kay's "affliction"(as you stated) isn't all that pronounced. And thirdly, I must assume you ALSO must have thought the late great SNL comedienne Gilda Radner was always being "mean" whenever she did her "Baba Wawa" shtick back in the day, RIGHT?! (..I mean, I guess "consistency" might count for SOMTHIN' anyway, huh?!)

Well, like I just told darkblue in ANOTHER thread here today, Hibi... (...of course, you'll have to change my endearment of "ol' buddy" to the more gender appropriate "dear lady" to get the full and proper effect in your case here) LOL

Well Andy, at least you didn't make the same mistake I once did on a first date back in the day. In efforts to show "how sophisticated" I was, I took a girl I had had a major crush on all through high school and when I finally screwed up enough courage to ask her out in our senior year, to so see that most "uplifting" saga of marathon dancing, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?". (...we both were so depressed as we walked out of that theater, that it, well let us just say, "didn't inspire a whole lot of post-screening passion")

Well, I think the best word I could use to describe my impression of SJ would be, "treacly", James. Gotta admit though that I thought little Connie Marshall was really good in it. And regarding FS, I was wondering who dubbed in Dana Andrews' really bad British accent in this thing when he played Maureen's first husband? I checked the IMDb website, and a few people there thought it might have been Alexander Knox, but to me it sounded as if his old "Laura" co-star Clifton might have done it. (...THOUGH I suppose it COULD have been Knox DOIN' a Clifton Webb impression for some reason)

Okay then, TB. If you're lookin' for a lot of nice comments here, allow me to get the following mentioned and out of the way for the rest of your thread's duration... Elmer Fudd Barbara Walters Bennett Cerf ...hmmmm...I know there's somebody else but I can't think of 'em right now. LOL (...sorry, couldn't resist...but yeah, and for the record, I think Kay was a very good actress and always enjoy watching her movies)

Cobie is lovely, alright. I hope she has a long career. Gotta say though Tom, I thought that sitcom was pretty funny, and especially the running gag about her "Canadian-ness".

Well, I hate to rub it in here kid, but this whole "missin' out on seein' first-run movies of the bygone era" isn't the ONLY reason you should feel sorry for not bein' a "Boomer" like ME!!!! (...'cause kid, WE had the BEST OF IT back in the day!)

LOL Yeah, that's true, Ham. (...but how ironic it would be if the first movie such a person would have seen in a theater was "Witness", HUH?!)

I have a very vague memory of going to downtown Los Angeles(and where primarily most of the old "first-run" movie houses were located in the greater L.A. area at the time) with my parents and seeing DeMille's "The Ten Commandments"(no, NOT his friggin' 1923 version, the '56 version...I'm not THAT old, ya know!!! LOL), and with one scene in it making a particular impression upon me which I remember to this day. It's this scene where Moses' birth mother is about to be crushed between two enormous stones being pushed together while they're making one of the pyramids... ...but of course, Moses comes to the rescue just in time. (...I guess prophets CAN sometimes be rather handy to have around, huh!)

Might this be where the writers for "How I Met Your Mother" got the inspiration for Cobie Smulders' Canadian character to have been the Canadian pop star 'Robin Sparkles' in her younger days on that sitcom?

Yeah...and SO unlike me, huh..err..eh, ol' buddy?! LOL

Okay dark my friend. Now what's with this hip-hop/rap thing here anyway, HUH...err...EH? Now, don't you think the following video might be just a LITTLE more fitting here IF you felt like wavin' that there Maple Leaf flag o' yours in our Yankee faces???...

I was very impressed with his score for "The Pawnbroker". I never really had noticed before how well it fit this intense story.

Sounds like a good idea.

Sorry, but that's not the case at all. TB. I STILL very much enjoy reading your very informative posts around here. However, as I somewhat previously just stated, whenever I think you've gone a little too far with some of your "conclusions" you might have drawn in a few of them(the recent "Mankster/Tarantino-namedropping" thing in the Rock Hudson thread as another example) I'm gonna tweak your nose about it, and just like I would anybody else's around here when they do the same. In fact, and seein' as how you brought up Mr. Dobbs' name here earlier, as I'm sure you know, THIS is most likely the very reason Mr. Dobbs has placed me on his ignore function...because he got tired of me tweakin' HIS nose whenever I thought some of his posts stated an opinion which I thought made it seem he was attempting to become the "Absolute Authority" on some given subject. (...however, this has not stopped me from enjoying many of his thoughts he expresses in this website, and many of which I think are VERY informative, and just as I find many for yours)

TB, allow me to make this a little clearer for you here then... I have been known to "throw A LOT of people under the bus" whenever I think they state an opinion which appears to me to be so definitively put so as to leave little room for a contrasting opinion. And in THIS case, I thought this was pretty much what you did with your post that ended with "Wrong, Wrong. And wrong AGAIN". (...so PLEASE don't feel as if I'm personally attacking you here or "jumping on some bandwagon", my friend...I've always been an "equal opportunity people under the bus thrower" since I've been around here, as I THINK you really know)
