You are correct. I do believe he put "My dear" in front of it.Quote:

Well, I learned something today. I have always remembered it from the movie as having "My dear" ...but when I looked it up....it says, "That, is your misfortune." So, Tech77, your are correct on both accounts.
Thanks for the video. Guess he told her!!! So.....are you going to post on here from time to time??? Or, do you really want this thread to die??
The "my dear" came just seconds later in the scene, after "Frankly.."Quote:

We got the Tech magazine and I read about one of our own that passed away last year that I missed. Jack Hopkins. He was on the board back in the Delphi days and for a short time here as an active poster. I actually cannot remember his "user name." Fond memories of # 26 back in the '60's.
You and 5 spiders. Was it creepy?Quote:

Back in the 1800s when the hanging judge would come to town.....the jails weren't full like they are now.
A few neighbors owned firearms too. That helped keep the jails empty. Frontier justice.
Looking forward to some eye witness updates from you locals. Also, while you are at it, find out a lil' more about the soil test thingy at the south end.:DQuote:

That was the only time the Infirmary was efficient or did anything. That time they have us a muscle relaxer shot to stop the dry heaves (everyone was empty by the time we got there) and put us to bed. Gave us a little coke to keep us from being dehydrated. I understand the regular hospital was full, too. Of course it wasn't 2 AM, it was about 4-5 PM when it hit.
The Veterinarian
One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering,
the pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week!
The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.
"Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate," he stated.
"Why, yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church."
The pastor replied, "That's wonderful. But $1,000 is a lot; are you sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?"
The elderly woman answered, "$10,000 a week."
The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?"
"He is a veterinarian," she answered.
"That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money," the pastor said.. "Where does he practice?"
The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada ...
He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas and one in Reno "

I've been buys with work ...but here now. Nice selection of posts! :) Glad you jumped back in, sportdawg
Post # 3766 for this thread. Kinda made me think of 3/7/66.
I can't say I recall the very day, but was about that date I was making a visit to "U.S. Rubber Company" on a job interview. One of my older brothers, who had 4 kids at that time, mused "Boy, this is good. I'll have two brothers working for 'rubber' companies. Maybe I can control this 'kid outbreak' now."
I reported to work for them on another notable date 6/6/66. Yeah , I know, the devil made me do it.
You are older than I. I didn't graduate from High School until May of 1966. Right after that...I started Summer school at TECH. They were still on the Semester System at that time.Quote:

'I seem to recall that,' the Mother Superior agreed. 'So I take it your day of recreation was not relaxing?'
'Far from it,' snorted the Sister. 'In fact, I even took the Lord's name in vain today!'
'Goodness, Sister!' gasped the Mother Superior, astonished. 'You must tell me all about it!'
'Well, we were on the fifth tee...and this hole is a monster, Mother Superior - 540 yard Par 5, with a nasty dog leg left and a hidden green....and I hit the drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever made.
And it's flying straight and true, right along the line I wanted...and it hits a bird in mid-flight !'
'Oh my!' commiserated the Mother. 'How unfortunate! But surely that didn't make you blaspheme, Sister!'
'No, that wasn't it,' admitted Sister. 'While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off down the fairway!'
'Oh, that would have made me blaspheme!' sympathized the Mother.
'But I didn't, Mother!' sobbed the Sister. 'And I was so proud of myself! And while I was pondering whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball still clutched in his paws!'
'So that's when you cursed,' said the Mother with a knowing smile.
'Nope, that wasn't it either,' cried the Sister, anguished, 'because as
the hawk started to fly out of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!'
Mother Superior sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, fixed the Sister with a baleful stare and said...
'You missed the fu_ _ ing' putt, didn't you?
The same young nun came into the Mother Superior's office complaining about the vulgar language the the grounds crew and contruction workers were using.
"Now, now, Sister. Those are salt of the earth people and sometimes they call a spade a spade"
"No, they don't" responded the young nun, "they call it a fu__ing shovel!"
Yep, that had to be the same nun......using her favorite word.Quote:

There was a guy that stabbed a lot of people too. I guess they will be taking our knives next. It just goes to show that some MF idiot will always find a way to hurt someone. They can outlaw this and that.....until they get down to sticks and stones!!Quote:

Ooooohhhh nnnnooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Come to think of it, all the young galoots would probably like it if the bombshells were all registered.
Now, people who don't agree with stricter gun laws are liars. WHAAAATTT leadership.
GO DAWGS!!! everything else is da' debble!!!
Don't blame me.....I tried to warn everyone not to elect him, but no one listened!! All I can say to the people who elected him....how's that workin for ya???Quote:

He had moved the bucket from his driveway to a place in between our houses about 4 inches from the compressor for his air conditioner. So, he took the effort to move the bucket but the snake was still alive and his hands were shaking. I looked into the bucket and the rattler seemed to be quite comfortable there. I had already retrieved my shovel. With is voice unsteady he said he had a gun and "We could shoot it!" if I couldn't get to it with my shovel. I let him off the hook by telling him that he would probably take out his compressor with the gun. I was really thinking that with his shaking hands a metal bucket and a compressor sitting on top of a concrete slab, I didn't want to be anywhere near this idiot with a gun. I killed the rattler for him, which is what he really wanted me to do in the first place so he wouldn't loose face. Threw the thing across the street in the green belt where the wildlife could feed off of it. Then I pulled his chain about the new load of rocks he got for his concrete driveway (he had the last pile for about a year and a half).
For you gun lovers out there I bet you will love this.
THEBEST Put Down LINE EVER
Major General Peter Cosgrove is a Pure Australian treasure!
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.. It is a portion of an ABC radio interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when
they visit your base?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they
even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers..
GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio castwent silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.
While I was outside a few minutes ago in the yard with my dog, two unfamiliar dogs showed up. One was wearing a black NO Saints collar and one was wearing a purple lsu collar. They seemed to be friendly dogs so Ilooked at the appropriately attired one and said "Go Saints" and thenI looked at the other dog and asked, "what year did you graduate?",he just looked at me with his head cocked sideways and a not-so-intelligentgrin and said nothing - "how typical" I thought.
