Perhaps this thread is just a way of thought or one that makes others puke. Good memories here. And now perhaps an abstract conversation piece. Either way many will remember it for what they perceived it to be. An enigma. Or just a passing of time. Still profound at times.
Fond memories here on this beach that really never existed.
Stephen, I must explain...
You see there was this guy I worked with that never used a curse word.
Instead, but still in keeping with the four letter taboos, he just said "Well...puke!"
No matter if he's just hit his finger with a hammer, found his car leaking gas and bursting into flames, or whatever the good Lord might assail him with...
while we might be jumping around like hell and shouting words that might make a sailor blush, he just said "well, puke!"
A testament to his morality perhaps, and though the man had a reputation for being a bit "off" or "out there" or 'wacko' he was rather intelligent, just expressed in an odd way.
I liked him.
He was a man of God, would give you the shirt off his back, so when I use "puke" it's not in a negative way about this fine fire pit, but rather a tribute to a fellow who had facets beyond his "first impression" persona, as perhaps we all do.
Thanks, Randy! I've gone down the rabbit hole, through Gilda Radnor (Rosanne Rosannadanna), more SNL to the Blues Brothers playing on the show to the making of the Blues Brothers movie to a Belushi birthday celebration with his brother filling in for him, John Goodman singing a tune, Katie Segal (helluva voice!) and others playing/singing the blues.
I'm in the middle of that, but doubt I'm done yet ... I owe you one, bud! ;-)
Well Tim those comments of yours were about the best titty farting hairy love egg sucking bleeping (silence on TV) ones since that Danny Kaye movie, that Bing Crosby and Clark Griswold starred in
Aww, just glad you got a kick out it
Sometimes a trip down memory lane is a good thing.
Now your post sparked a thought about Gilda Radnor (also as Ba'ba Wawa .).. as I recall she had cancer and there was a treatment center named for her. But after some years had passed the center was renamed...because a new generation didn't know who she was!
That's rather sad.
Same with movies and other old TV shows. The newer generations will never know some of the good, wholesome TV that used to be. My grandkids get to see some while I cook and eat dinner. My 13 year old grandson likes Hogan's Heroes and Gomer Pyle now ... ;-)
As new shows and movies come out, it shoves the old stuff farther back into oblivion. Unless shown to them by their elders, how many kids will ever see Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Smokey & the Bandit, Fantastic Voyage and countless other classics?
Never saw an episode of that, sadly. Loved Ritter. We used to eat dinner on Three's Company nights in the living room. My first experience with TV trays....ahhh, the 70's...
Thought you already did that, script not yet submitted for our approval
Speaking of Vacation, now specifically the Christmas one, I mentioned the Boy brought me a Prime rib dinner for me birthday...
but what really happened was he got as much cash back as he could with my card and spent my money on my "gift"
So when Clark offers Eddie to buy Christmas for his family ,... "Thank you so much Clark.
And while you're at it, pick out something nice for yourself."
Portland to Princeton, NewJersey, towing a Ford Escort with a cat and a dog THROUGH the 02 Winter Oympics in Utah 3 months after 9/11 and getting married at Warren Spahn's (all time winningest southpaw in MLB history) church on the way...if that aint a chapter I do not know what is.
*Stokes the fire*
Been so long since Covid hit, always wore an N-95 max because I am at high risk as well as some of my family. Then last Thursday I tested positive. Thankfully I used my home test before seeing my family.
A little bit funny/weird of sorts..After 3 shots and taking all precautions I still got it. Wow! I went into what I think what was a mild 3 day coma.
didn't eat or drink anything. got so sick.
now It's day 6, feeling much better and my work is screaming to get me back, but i'm still Leary to return. And I will. This was as bad as anything sickness I have ever experienced. Didn't get pneumonia then die thankfully or give anyone else the same result.
Perhaps the lesson learned or the moral of the story is no matter how hard you try? ...Fill in the blanks..And be fortunate to still walk this virtual beach. I know I am
Thanks. Perhaps the sparks flying is so ingrained in our psych from years of watching them rise above fires of old, Forever before the concrete jungle so recently had. When we brushed the hair from our eyes and enjoyed said sparks flying?
