WAIT!!! Just 'cause I called you "MOOSE BREATH"??? And, which as you may recall Johnny Carson always said and called Ed McMahon just after Ed setup the coming comedy routine by saying: And so, EVERYTHING you'd EVER want to know about this subject is in this book!" Remember?! (...man, some folks suuuuure have a "chip on their shoulder" around here lately...wait, I'm allowed say this about you, right lavender?...I mean, I'm pretty sure you're white, aren't ya?!) ROFL (...oh, and if ya didn't get this one either, go to the "Hattie McDaniel" thread and all will be revealed!!!) Edited by: Dargo2 on Aug 23, 2013 3:19 PM

C'mon now. EVEN IF it was just somethin' like singed eyebrows??? Heck, I've done that to myself while barbequing steaks, and I STILL laugh at myself every time I think about it! (...WHAT?!...have we got a "double standard" goin on here just 'cause Dick is 87 and I'm only 61?!...I sure don't think THAT'S fair at all...sounds like "AGEISM" to ME!!!)

>Let them make make me any offer, and I won't refuse LOL Findin' horse heads in your bed lately or somethin', Lavender???

>Had Dick been hurt in anyway no one would be joking about this.(at least I wouldn't be) It's because Dick, thank goodness, walked out of that car without a scratch. Hmmmmm....you are WRONG, Moose Breath! Dependin' upon how slightly Dick might've been hurt, I MIGHT'VE still ventured a few yuks along the way here! (...aaah, but then again, everyone around here already knows I have no class, huh!) LOL

Well Lavender, I suppose that would all depend upon how far of a commute it would be for you to get to the Ed Sullivan Theater every day, huh! (...ya see, I hear the pay on Dave's staff is JUST about the same as what Alan Brady gave to HIS staff, and that figure hasn't been adjusted for inflation since '65, and so it might not be worth your while!)

Well of course, finance! I mean you DO know that SOME people still feel it's rather in poor taste to bring up that whole matter of Ford's Theater and certain very tall President and joke about THAT, doncha?! (...and so ya gotta get 'em where ya can, dude!)

Letterman had a good one about all this the other night, Lavender. It went somethin' like this: "It was a bad day all around for the Van Dykes the other day in Los Angeles. Dick's Jaguar caught fire on the Ventura Freeway, and the bus Jerry was riding on broke down along Wilshire Blvd!" LOL

>I'll further assist this highjack to mention the "urban legend' that Amsterdam was hired by JFK to inject humorous inflections into many of the president's speeches. Yep, word is the very first draft of Kennedy's Inaugural Address was: "Ask NOT what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for my Aunt Mildred...who waited so long for her ship to come in, her pier collapsed!" (...though as we know, cooler heads prevailed and a second draft was done)

Thanks again for the further info, Sans. Sounds logical, I suppose. (...though btw, you DO realize that once someone starts dissecting jokes and attempts to use complete logic to analyze 'em, it USUALLY takes ALL the fun out of it, doncha?!...and so, please remind me NEVER to watch a screwball comedy with you if I ever have the chance, OKAY?!) LOL Edited by: Dargo2 on Aug 22, 2013 5:20 PM

Thanks for the clarification here, Sans. But tell me here: What in the world would a civilian need with an incendiary 9mm bullet, regardless of how expensive they are or their scarcity? (...naaaah, forget I asked that...I don't want this thing to go in THAT direction here, 'cause the NEXT thing you know, somebody around here will almost SURELY start talkin' about their paranoia of our government!!!) LOL

Hmmmm..."Diagnosis Murder"..."Diagnosis Murder". WAIT! I think I've got as new "theory" happenin' here! Does anyone know what BARRY Van Dyke has been up to lately??? Now, NOT to "cast aspersions" here, BUT you don't suppose Barry might have pulled a "Menendez Brothers" kinda thing here 'cause he's tried of waitin' for his inheritance TOO?!!! I mean Dick IS 87 y/o and lookin' and actin' like he might be around for ANOTHER 20 years or so, RIGHT?!!! (...yeah, yeah, I KNOW that sounds kinda harsh, BUT ya never KNOW about people, ya know...and besides, let us not leave one stone unturned here while we search for the cause of this thing, RIGHT?!!!)

Well, it couldn't be ME if THAT'S what you're thinkin' here, Lavender! 'Cause as you know, I moved away from La La Land YEARS ago and now reside in beautiful and picturesque Sedona AZ, and I haven't been back there since last November for a motorcycle rally! (...though now that I THINK about it, ARTURO out that-a-way suuuure has been awfully quiet in this thread, HASN'T he?!!!!) LOL

Now THAT might not be a stretch there, Lavender! Though then again, what guy DIDN'T have "a thing" for Laura back then, EH?! (...especially what with all that "cupping" she showed in those capri pants...well, until those darn ol' censors put a stop to it, anyway!)

Yes, but FRED lives in Springfield...which is nowhere CLOSE to the Ventura Freeway! (...or any other points within the greater L.A. area, as you most likely know)

Naaah, Sepia. Mel would've been much too chicken to do anything like THAT! (...now BUDDY SORRELL on the other hand.......)

Hmmmm..."confidence" ya say, huh Twink?! Well, I suppose I gotta admit we Yanks have never suffered from a lack of THAT stuff, alright! LOL (...though have you ever noticed that with that "confidence" also often comes the trait of that OTHER stuff known as "hubris"?)

>I travel to Europe a lot since my wife is Italian and what you say is correct. One can spot the Americans for the reasons you give. Very sad reflection of our culture. But since it is their god givin right to be as they want to be, they end up being like they are. Yep, that's true, alright. (...though I've always wondered if the locals in, say, Italy in this instance, look at these vacationing Americans and then wonder why with all the money Americans seem to have, WHY can't they afford to buy a freakin' MIRROR?!!!!) LOL

I don't know if you travel internationally much Eugenia, but if ya don't, trust me here...you can almost without exception pick our fellow Americans out of a crowd of tourists almost ANYWHERE you may roam in this world. (...'cause they'll usually not ONLY be the fattest ones you'll see, but they'll ALSO very likely to be the worst dressed ones TOO!!!) LOL

What FlyBack?! Did you miss catchin' my answer to you about this very same question you recently posed in another thread, and where I replied to it with three...count 'em THREE fairly recently done(which of course means, WAY after the year 1969) and very WELL done war flicks with the titles: "Three Kings" "The Hurt Locker" "Zero Dark Thirty" ??????????? (...yep, maybe you just didn't see my earlier answer to ya, huh?!...well, you didn't acknowledge my earlier reply to ya, so maybe ya DID miss seein' it, eh?!)

If ya ask me here Eugenia, I'd say you should have put THIS part of your reply to James in bold lettering... >...but bigger portions.

Well, it says there that THAT one WAS made in the year 1972, now doesn't it, rewrite? And so, because 1972 is a whole 3 years AFTER 1969, then "of course" by "SOME folks' " definition, it "ain't no good", RIGHT???!!! LOL (...and so would you PLEASE stop askin' all these kinda "dumb questions" around here, dude?!!!)

LOL Yeah, and maybe he was on his way to deliver it to one of those, as Laura said..."needy bald people"!!!

So, in other words you're tellin' me that I can just forget the idea of you ever bein' my dance partner out there whenever the heavens open up, huh?! (...so then would you be up for say some kinda indoor routine to the tune of "Good Morning" or "You Are My Lucky Star" INSTEAD???)

Yeah Hibi, gotta agree with ya here. I've never much cared to walk in the rain much, myself. BUT, because Gene always made it look like so much fun, you CAN occasionally find me singin' and dancin' in the stuff. (...whenever there's no cops around, of course)

>Yeah, Jack(Carson) definitely had a few pounds to loose (LOL)...... Hmmmm...ya know Hibi, come to think of it, might the topic Jack's backside make for a thread which could challenge that of a certain other actor's you know of??? Yeah, maybe one of those "versus" type threads? (...can't ya see it now?!..."And In this corner, weighing in at.....")
