LOL (...ya see, this is why I just said what I said in that other thread...YOU play along and aren't any kind of "stuffed shirt" at all)

Well then, I suppose this might all be for the better. (...and alas, any of my future labo(u)rs to further address this issue will be met with a less than colo(u)rful ending)

Just playin' off of what heuriger said here... >MissWonderly has averaged nearly 4.5 posts a day for almost 4 years.

Ya know MissW, I gotta say the more I read of your stuff around here, the more I'm falling desperately in love with you and your sense of lighthearted humo(u)r! (...and so I suppose IF we could just figure out a way to take care of a few messy little roadblocks before us, such as my present happy marriage AND your being Canadian and usin' all those superfluous letter 'u's in some words, whaddaya think here, kid?...have we a chance?)

OOPS! Yep, you're right, finance. It IS the "Lincoln Memorial" I suppose my only excuse for this oversight might be that Philadelphia is a lot closer to our nation's capital than are the warm and sunny locales of SoCal and Arizona.

Yeah, YEAH! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! So WHO was this guy who wrote that again??? (...thanks Swithin, I think your addition of The Bard's words here was perfectly timed)

Yeah! And it always that last post of the day of hers that's only half done before she enters it that's drivin' me crazy!!! (...okay, OKAY..."crazi-ER"!!!)

Tom, I'd like to reply to this part of your recent posting when you said: >In Captain Blood his character is bitter, in Robin Hood laughing and ebullient, in The Sea Hawk a reserved courtly gentleman, and in Don Juan a world weary cynic. I think he's outstanding in all four films (surprisingly so in Captain Blood, considering his inexperience as an actor) But I have a very special fondness for Errol Flynn's work as Don Juan. By this stage of the game Flynn had become that cynic you see on the screen but his increase in drinking had been, unfortunately, combined with narcotics. Yes, although Flynn initially thought that no drug could ever rule him, he did become a junkie. I just wanted to add that I think with your immediate segue to Flynn's personal problem in the above text you might've missed stating another and possibly even more universal "truth" in regard to Flynn's different "types" of heroes portrayed. In this I mean that I think there might be a correlation to the viewers stage of their lives and to the level they might appreciate watching those different personality types. I guess my point is that while I can't or shouldn't talk for anyone other than myself and my preferences, it seems the older In get, I find that "world weary cynic" type much more fascinating a character to watch on screen than I do those other three types you mentioned.

You folk'll have to excuse Leo here. He just gets a little excitable sometimes, that's all. (...saaay, SPEAKIN' o' which, does anybody here remember that great Warren Zevon song?...OOPS, sorry, THAT might be a little "off-topic" here, huh!...never mind!) LOL

>Ironic that while MLK preached non-violence, this thread is getting violent. Yep. And especially since I think there's a part of the great Doctor's famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Monument where we says: "And there will come a day when my brothers and sisters who prefer strict adherence to conversational topics, will walk hand-in-hand with my other brothers and sisters who occasionally like to go off-topic." (...you remember that part, don't ya?...or was that just a "dream" of MINE???)

Nope, but my handy-dandy staple gun was within easy reach, anyway.

finance, IF you just answer dpompper's question here with a simple "yup", I hope you know I'm gonna split a gut!!! (...oh, okay...I see you didn't) Edited by: Dargo2 on Jan 29, 2013 6:05 PM

So, do ya do any other impressions than Gary Cooper, finance? (...'cause ya got THIS one nailed, my friend!)

LOL Yep, that's a good point, alright! (...ESPECIALLY whenever you and/or I get involved in one of 'em, huh!)

Btw here folks, I gotta say this thread soyenly has made a "left toin at Albakoikee" here all of sudden, hasn't it?!

>Sometimes I worry about him. And when I find myself worrying about Sea Dog, I then start to worry about myself. ROFL Now THAT was a hilarious line there, Tom! (...OH, and yeah, one definitely had to let the Cap'n's cereal soak in milk for at least 5 minutes before beginning this portion of "just part of a nutritious breakfast" as the voiceover would say) Edited by: Dargo2 on Jan 29, 2013 5:24 PM

In a way I agree with ya about the Road Runner cartoons, clore. There seemed to be definite dropoff in imaginative ways poor ol' Wile E. would get clobbered after the initial run of the late '40s and early '50s shorts, and NOT to mention a definite dropoff in the quality of the animation visuals, too.

Ya know MissW, while watchin' that, I somehow got a hankerin' for a nice big bowl of Cap'n Crunch cereal! (...gee, i wonder why that might be, eh?!)

Yeah slayton, BUT while darkblue might've gotten the basket, I believe the scorers should at least tally me with an Assist here, don't ya think?! (...oh, and btw, I have NO idea who this latest one is...and so I'll just hustle back on defense until the next face shows up!)

"Yep, that's the story of my life, alright. Just about the time the goils start developin', they begin to loose interest in me!"

Uh huh, yeah...okay. BUT, I'll bet YOU didn't know that while the movie "Barbarella" is of course a weird 1968 Sci-fi flick starring Jane Fonda, SISTER "Barbara Ellen" was my 8th grade Math teacher at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion Junior High School back in the 1960s!!! (...nah, not really, I'm not Catholic...I just couldn't resist this reply, THAT'S all)

I suppose that could be a plausible reason for the box office results of the film, clore, however it seems even the film critics and historians often fail to give Flynn AND the movie itself its proper due.

Yeah clore...but I would at least hope that you lead as "innnn-teresting" a life as Gossamer there does!
