Clare,

I haven't seen a Snow Angle in years.

( Snow Angels yes, but not Snow Angles )

POP QUIZ ?

What famous male singer was Eydie Gorme married to?

Caution: anyone even dreaming that it was Mel Torme will be kept after class for detention and required to write 100 times on teh blackboard;  "Go Away Little Girl".

It's sad, but this is the kind of stuff that comes to you when you overdose on too much NFL football.

Mary Clare Hummer (Bauer)

How can watching all those former Buckeyes showing their stuff in New Orleans possibly get you daydreaming about Steve Lawrence & Edie Gorme?

I was pulling for "Saint Nick" to pull out another of his (post) Christmas miracles. 

But at least you got the quiz right. One outt'a two ain't bad for a Clintonville girl.

David Mitchell

CORRECTION !!!

Re: Post #4576, Reason #4,  I meant ........"those of us who live the FARTHEST". 

Sorry, I think Nina (my spell checker) is off on Sundays.

Mary Clare: do NOT try to figure out how Dave Mitchell's brain works lest you fall off the edge of the earth as we know it. There be dragons. You have been warned.

Hark, are these but the frustrated cries of more Clintonville "Forum wanna be's" ?

If you think it was hard to remember Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, here's a nice walk down memory lane from our old friend Billy Joel. If you never ran into this song before, it is quite an impressive history lesson, aimed right at our age group.

David Mitchell

Great pick Mark. Always been fascinated by the arrangment of the phrases.

Jeanine Eilers (Decker)

Thanks, Mark.  Watched every second...although at our age I wish it had been in slo mo.

I once tried to sing "We didn't start the fire" at a karaoke bar.

Be grateful you were not there that night. 

David Mitchell

Alas, there is a bit of untruth in the words to that song. As I may have related a year ago on this Forum, at about th eage of five, Tom Litzinger and I (both of whom were card carrying members of the "pyromaniacs anonymous" at the time), did our best to lite his parents garage on fire. We were clever enough to pile a bunch of dry leaves up against the back side of the garage wall and get them started with the matches he had snuck out of his kitchen, but some nosey neighbor lady started yelling over at Tom's house and his brother Billy ran in and told Mrs. Litzinger on us. She came out and doused it - the rest is history. Not very good history actually. But that's just how we rolled.

I read the article that Dave Barbour referenced and I see that Clare also read from the NYT and thought I’d post the link to make it easier to just click on. 

Michael McLeod

You will think this is a parody. But it's not.

As they say, you just can’t make this stuff up! 

You gotta wonder about this guy. He must not have any human friends.

 “When Wally isn’t engaged in emotional support activities he likes to hang out with Henney’s other gator, Scrappy, in a 300-gallon pond Henney built for the alligators in his living room.”

How many of us haven't seen the Gillette comercial?  Pretty easy to find, it almost makes me proud

to be human!

I think Billy Joel should compose a Sequel to "I didn't start the fire!"  Great history lesson!!  Have enjoyed reading about all your lives!  Tdhanks!

Janie Albright (Blank)

I really enjoying seeing a lot more of the group posting. 

This seems fitting with our Watterson education. Would make some our nuns proud. 

Today is Thesaurus Day. 

On the birthday (1779) of Peter Roget, author of the major thesaurus, we celebrate all thesauruses. So, go out and celebrate, beat the drum, carouse, commend, dedicate, extol, fete, have a ball, honor, jubilate, kick up your heels, laud, let loose, lionize, live it up, make merry, paint the town red, proclaim, publicize, revel, revere... well, you get the point!

Michael McLeod

Funny reference to June, Ward and the Beav, Jim. You'll never make a doctor out of me but at this rate maybe we'll make a writer, or perhaps a photojournalist, out of you.

Why do I feel a need for carnitas del puerco and a big old frozen Margarita...pass the chips n salsa!
