Oh so tacky, sir, oh, so dreadfully tacky. lol

Nobody likes change, til the next time things are changed. Then, they realize they liked the earlier change better than the new one. Something like that, anyway.--misswonderly I'm reminded of these sagacious words, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

I'm not sure why the powers that be felt a change in 'hue' would improve the boards. The problem wasn't the color but the functionality and in this regard the functionality has devolved into a morass.

..... don't childhood shoot-outs with toy revolvers pave the way for adult shoot-outs with real revolvers?---finance The only thing in the my childhood that Revolver paved the way for was a lifelong fascination for Les Beatles.

Such occurrences are another reason why I no longer shop at Love Bazaars

A similar notion that's been on the mind of some board members: *TOO MUCH TURQUOISE*

Spam. 'orrible stuff. I aven't ate it in bloody years.

Exactly, twinkeee. Thank you for confirming those not so insignificant details.

Can we please stop making this thread about FredC and twinkeee? It's in poor taste to do so.

Turquoise has origins in ancient Egypt also.

Joan, along with her sister, Olivia, were both born in Tokyo, Japan. They went to school in California while their father remained in Tokyo as a patent lawyer. How, exactly, does this make them American actresses? Could it be because of their typical American accents?

Thank you for your sharing your opinion on Cagney, crazyblonde7. But I'm not alone in thinking Bogie was the cat's meow. After all, Lauren Bacall thought he was the greatest.

*The two factors reinforced each other to push him higher than either factor would have done alone.* I believe the two factors most responsible for Bogart's iconic status were Max and Frank Factor.

I must say that in the Minneapolis neighborhood in which I grew up, Bogie was the cat's meow. Cagney was just anotha mug.

You'll have to get 'permission' from Marty Ingels for that to be a reality.

Anyone for Tennis?

Here's a missive to contemplate:

Here is a wonderful picture of the TCM Fan Guest Programmers on its 15th anniversary with Robert Osborne. I don't believe all fifteen are present. Kyle is at the far left of the back row. My condolences to his family and friends

I too saw the 50th anniversary of Citizen Kane at a Fox Theatre. Alas, I never did use the restroom so I have no piquant anecdote to share. Perhaps I should have had a beverage. Soooooooory.

i wonder what e.e. cummings would have said about your penchant to use upper case letters? I wonder if anybody ever noticed that Montreal Royals translates to Mount Royal Royals.
