Lavender has sent me this clue to post: "Lately I'm a-prayin' that you'll always be a-stayin' beside me." She did not give me the answer. George

I PT'ed Lavender. She replied something about being unable to post (though she did reply to the PT)?! Give her a little time, and then maybe we need to move on. George

"The Ring"? George

Do you ever read church signs as you're driving by? Some are pretty bizarre. (There was a thread here a while ago about a sign that implied that Jesus used an AK-47! ) But a lot are cute. Here are a couple: "Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am!" "Looking for a sign from God? This is one!" "How will you spend eternity -- smoking, or non?" How about the rest of you? Got any good ones? George

I don't think he ever visited a location where I was (central Illinois and later Houston). I was a TC, so I'm sure I would have been "invited" to help prepare. Mrs. W. came to Houston a couple of times. She was treated with honor, but I don't think she had such a detailed list of preparations. George

Actually, I think it was TR's later show, "Love, Sidney" that had the horn concerto. George

Well, I only saw Taxi once or twice, so I didn't know the theme, and Sudo's isn't any more familiar to me. If you like french horns, though, you might try to dig up the theme song from the Tony Randall Show. It was a horn concerto, as I recall. George

Yes, Pirate. I would also have accepted Cat Stevens, who had a top-forty release of it in the early 70's. See you in a week. George

Somebody better get this before I go on vacation tomorrow morning! Here's another line: How I wish I had someone to talk to! George

Sorry, Guys (and Gals). Doesn't ring a bell. I'll be on vacation for a week. Try not to miss me TOO much. George

You've got to remember that I constantly listen to the local oldies station! Try this: She had a strange resemblance to a cat name of Frankenstein! George

Indeed! George

To Craig's credit, he SAID to everybody there that he had tried to pray for Ted's heart, but that Ted told him, "It's the knee!" It seemed to me that he made an honest mistake while trying to help someone, and he owned up to it. It WAS pretty funny! George

(((((((Excie))))))) I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts and prayers. George

As well as R-T-T, does anybody else remember the dog of "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon"? George

"Tears of a Clown" Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. (Pretty sure.) George

I listened to James at a Star Trek Convention years ago (right after "Wrath of Khan"). He was intelligent and charming. He noted tthat he also auditioned as a Frenchman and (I think) an Italian, but it was his "Scotty" that got the part. With the exception of Walter Koenig, none of the original Trek cast were particularly young adn that was forty years ago. Now "Bones" and "Scotty" are gone. Alas. :(--> George

Actually, most Midwestern cities have large Polish populations, so polka music is pretty big. And here in Texas, there are lots of Czechs as well as Poles, so polkas are big here, too. (My family name was Jurascheck until Grandad changed it to St. George.) George

Then that person can apologize to ME and clear the air! :)--> George

Sounds like Willie to me, though there isn't as much of the "twang" in his voice as I'm accustomed to, so I could be wrong. George

I remember making hamburgers and fries at the "Lone Star Stand" one ROA. I took a couple of the potato bags, punched holes through them, and used them as insulated "sleeves" to keep from being burned by the spattering grease. Where was OSHA when I needed them? I also did BP a couple of years (yellow hat). I didn't mind so much staying up all night in a cold drizzle until my relief didn't show up. THAT made me mad!! George

Oh, and if anyone has a horror story about me, I'd be glad to hear it. It would give me an opportunity to apologize and clear the air. George

It seems to me that anyone here was as likely to be abused by a branch leader now long removed from TWI as he was by someone on the BOT. If no one else will stick up for him, maybe the branch leader DESERVES to be lambasted. I'm not particularly fond of dishing dirt, anyway; but I see no reason to exclude "lower" TWI officials. And I thought the purpose of modifying names was to goof up search engines, not really to disguise identities. George

I don't know. George
