Yeah well, Wednesdays can sometimes be kind'a like this TOO ya know, Sepia. (...the joke here being that January 6th of this year fell on a Wednesday, ya see)

Yeeeah, a little bit maybe. (...STILL say he looks like George Brent...DOOH...I mean like what Aaron Rodgers is gonna look like in about 20 years from now or so)

Now now, don't be "sad" here, Cid. You can still skim through these threads around here if ya want. (...Section-7 of the Rules of Conduct Bylaws is seldom if ever enforced, ya know) LOL

Yes, actually there is, MissW. It's right in Section-7 of the Rules of Conduct Bylaws, although of course, most people and such as yourself, don't seem to know this. (...I had this added into it back around 2015, and when it seemed too many people were skimming over some of my postings around here, and EVEN the rare ones in which I wasn't trying to make some kind'a joke and was actually being serious and made a damn good point about something in it!)

Hmmm..."Black Friday". Oh yeah, good one. Uh-huh, now THERE'S a movie song that I always thought deserved to be more popular and wondered why it didn't ever became a bigger hit for Steely Dan than it did! I mean, they even work the word "kangaroos" into it by rhyming it with "socks and shoes", so what's not to love, right?! I mean, anytime you can work the word "kangaroos" into a song is always a good thing, right?! (...oh wait...wrong thread...sorry...although ARE there any kangaroos mentioned at all in this Karloff/Lugosi flick?...I can't remember)

Reminds me of that story about Clayton Moore that comedian Jay Thomas would tell every year on Letterman's Christmas shows. (...it's on YouTube...and is funny as hell)

"Yes, we must rid ourselves of those humanoids, and because they're YANKEE humanoids!"

Oh, I dunno, Ed. If say, the guy also invited the Lone Ranger to this little soiree, he'd have a ready means at his disposal to off anyone who might be suffering from lycantropy, wouldn't ya say? (...he of silver bullet fame, ya see)

"Well, it's early yet." -Groucho Marx, while looking down at his watch, in A Day at the Races (...and yes, I say this to people who tell me that something I've just said to them has made them feel as if they've never been so insulted in their lives...and yes, while looking down at MY watch too!)

Yes slayton, and so in essence they COULD BE "more different" here then, now CAN'T they! And so PLEASE try bein' a little more conscientious with your offerings in...in...... (...oh yeah, in YOUR thread here, huh...sorry, never mind)

Nope, sorry Herman. Can't love the guy. (...I've never forgiven him for bein' so damn mean to Ernest Truex and when all the poor old guy was tryin' to do was give people "what they needed")

So then none of 'em star Peter Sellers as Chief Inspector Clouseau, I take it, eh Sans?!

Nope, probably not. (...but I'll take a pass on seein' any of 'em that might star that annoying purple dinosaur)

Here's one I would've thought everyone by now would be familiar with because it has become somewhat of a staple during Halloween celebrations over the years and similarly to how Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' has become. And yet it still seems I run across a lot of people who aren't familiar with the following song which was featured in the 1986 comedy Back to School starring Rodney Dangerfield. It seems the recording was primarily only a mild hit out west at the time of its initial release and where Danny Elfman formed the L.A.-based band Oingo Boingo.

And don't forget "taxes" here too, dude! (...as Ben..Franklin that is, not Mankiewicz..said)

LOL Glad to see you followed up with that line I left for ya there, James.

"Peter Townsend"? THIS guy???... Oh wait! You probably meant "Pete Townshend " of The Who here, didn't ya James... Nope, sorry, Pete's chin and jawline are a lot weaker than Peter Stomare's is/are. And don't be fooled here with the common receeding hairline either. (...nope, I'm stickin' with my George Brent...doooh...I mean my Aaron Rodgers thing here, dude!)

Now why do I have a feeling that posting that gif of Bill Hader eating popcorn that Moe posted in another thread recently would now be perfectly placed here too????

And, I have to say that the aforementioned Peter Stomare here... ...is remindin' ME of what Green Bay Packers QB and recent Jeopardy! guest host Aaron Rodgers will look like in about 15 to 20 years from now... (...c'mon...am I RIGHT or what here, HUH?!)

Wait! Wasn't this age-old puzzlement once and for all definitively answered in a recent Geico commercial??? (...btw, good point about that "other dude"...word is he's always been one the best deceivers you'd ever have the misfortune to encounter)

LOL Yes, and good guess here, Sepia. In fact, and perhaps ironically here, I always ask to speak to this one girl named Marilyn! But THIS "Marilyn" doesn't talk in that little breathless baby talk way, thank god. (...nope she sounds a lot like Charlotte Rampling!...and btw, SHE always says I have a great voice TOO!!!) LOL

Yeah, those are all good ones to ask too Vautrin, but I think I'd first ask why the expression isn't "Heels over Head" and when the other way around is pretty much the normal everyday and non-excited state of being for most people, and THEN I'd ask all those other questions of St. Peter. (...or once again, of that other guy down there)

He went into the online home decor business and word is he's making a pretty good living at it, Sepia. Sure, while surfin' the net, don't tell me you've never come across..ahem...."Ken's Wahl Art .com"?! (...btw, didn't ya always love those old Peabody and Sherman cartoons as a kid?...guess you can tell I always did anyway, can't ya)

Right you are, NS. Here's a shot of the company's old building circa 1975 (from the look of the automobiles in its parking lot) and before most of their product manufacturing was sent offshore...
