I agree. I think that's the part of the recipe that Wierwille missed when he tried to duplicate Donnie's efforts.

I'm not sure we'll ever know as they are both no longer with us.

I hear THAT!

My personal opinion is that he saw how successful Donnie F. was and jumped on the bandwagon. At one time, Dale Carnegie's book, How To Win Friends and Influence People, was required reading.

I shudder to think that, 38 years ago, that's probably how I sounded, too.

Not sure about AREA 51 but I'm familiar with 151.

To be fair, I don't think they promoted themselves as such.

Jimmy Webb wrote it,though you don't need the writer or artist to participate in this thread. Here is more about the song. I think, in light of the story I related, it's probably only fair to relinquish my turn.

-----Stealers WheelThis was posted on another thread recently so maybe you should take the next one too.

Just couldn't resist! :B) Crazy story A friend of mine, from pre-TWI days, heard this song when it first came out on the radio and decided he had to see MacArthur Park for himself. He stuck out his thumb in Cleveland. The very first ride took him all the way to L.A.

I think I can sorta understand the trench analogy in regard to the kids. They got drafted into the mess. They couldn't possibly have walked away, even if it was the foremost thought in their minds. So, they had to hang tight together for survival. I think that's a different kind of bonding than the one experienced by we who elected to join.

After the American Revolution, English customs fell out of favor, including Christmas. In fact, Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the first Christmas under America’s new constitution. Christmas wasn’t declared a federal holiday until June 26, 1870. Washington Irving reinvents Christmas It wasn’t until the 19th century that Americans began to embrace Christmas. Americans re-invented Christmas, and changed it from a raucous carnival holiday into a family-centered day of peace and nostalgia. But what about the 1800s peaked American interest in the holiday? The early 19th century was a period of class conflict and turmoil. During this time, unemployment was high and gang rioting by the disenchanted classes often occurred during the Christmas season. In 1828, the New York city council instituted the city’s first police force in response to a Christmas riot. This catalyzed certain members of the upper classes to begin to change the way Christmas was celebrated in America. In 1819, best-selling author Washington Irving wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, gent., a series of stories about the celebration of Christmas in an English manor house. The sketches feature a squire who invited the peasants into his home for the holiday. In contrast to the problems faced in American society, the two groups mingled effortlessly. In Irving’s mind, Christmas should be a peaceful, warm-hearted holiday bringing groups together across lines of wealth or social status. Irving’s fictitious celebrants enjoyed “ancient customs,” including the crowning of a Lord of Misrule. Irving’s book, however, was not based on any holiday celebration he had attended—in fact, many historians say that Irving’s account actually “invented” tradition by implying that it described the true customs of the season. http://www.thehistoryofchristmas.com/ch/in_america.htm

I have no idea what inspired it but remember----it WAS the '60s It's your turn!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I guess that 1949 Indian Chief wasn't really a relic. It was just another old motorcycle. <_<

HERE One of the ironies of The Difference Machine that fascinates me is that Babbage had to design it using manual calculations.

Is that anything like the Blue Moon of Kentucky?
