whenever I see the 'smart set' coming i head in the opposite direction, r11co. but I do have to give you credit for making 'smart' rhyme with 'smug'.

not at all a question of being too cool for school nice deserted beaches and some great waves know what I mean, omni?

Yesterday's abandoned buildings have a surprizing way of turning into tomorrow's multi-million dollar condos. Time will tell...

Well said, robertk I've even heard that there are a few people who actually navigate back and forth between the two boards...not to mention the several other excellent forums available... different srokes for different blokes, I guess...

Deep, Bjork, deep....

Beatniks, Communists and Watch-Molesters!

Yeah, I'll bet that they're the same kind of nerdy acne-faced asocial types that never pledged for the frats or hung out with the other guys - you know what I mean. I think it would be fun if we all bombed over there and tossed the equivalent of water-balloons and rolls of toilet-paper at those jerks. Teach them a lesson while having some laughs! Who's with me?

It goes way the hell back, but it's more or less achieved 'cult' status. (Next question: 'Plunk your magic twanger, Froggie!')? ------------- Mrs. Calabash where are you? Jimmy Durante made this mysterious women's name his signature sign-off during the 1940s. But did she really exist? By Ted Tyson Scarborough, Ontario "GOOD NIGHT, Mrs. Calabash--wherever you are!" For years, Jimmy Durante ended his radio and television shows with that unusual sign-off. Most people thought the mysterious Mrs. Calabash must have been some fictional character that Durante dreamed up just to tease his audiences. But longtime residents of Calabash, North Carolina believe otherwise. The folks in this town will tell you she was a real person with a real name--and a fascinating story to boot. They claim that Mrs. Calabash was really a local woman named Lucille "Lucy" Coleman. In 1940, Lucy was 28 years old and running a restaurant in Calabash, then a tiny seaside community bordering South Carolina. Durante and his touring entertainment troupe are said to have stopped in for supper one night. It may have been the genuine homespun friendliness of the young restaurant owner that prompted the gregarious Jimmy Durante to beckon Lucy over to his table for some short chitchat. "I'm going to make you famous," vowed Durante, thinking she recognized his well-known face. (In fact, at that moment, she didn't even know who he was!) Lucy's daughter, Clarice Holden, says she will never forget what happened next. SECRET SIGN-OFF "As Mr. Durante and his group were walking out the door after their meal," Clarice recalls,"he turned to my mom and said, 'Good night Mrs. Calabash.' " It wasn't long afterward that this popular entertainer began signing off his radio shows with a similar message. For years, audiences enjoyed this rather lighthearted farewell mystery. By the time of Durante's death in 1980, it had become one of his trademarks, almost as recognizable as his big "schnozzola". But while that sign-off may have remained a mystery to most folks, Calabash residents believe it was Durante's way of saying to Mrs. Coleman, "Hi, Lucy--I remember you, if you're still out there now." Lucy Coleman passed away in 1989, nearly 50 years after her meeting with Jimmy Durante. Calabash residents note that Lucy recognized the significance of Durante's little secret message but preferred to stay out of the limelight. She had no desire to claim credit as the real "Mrs. Calabash." "Mom was a very private person," recalls Clarice, "She didn't speak much about her 'Mrs. Calabash' entity, and declined all interviews and all invitations to appear on television." Apparently, Durante's popularity was so great that he could immortalize a prim Southern restaurant keeper. But neither he nor anyone else could get her to talk.

All right, as long as we're not on the subject (Bin Logic Rules, 1,089 - Clause 5A: 'Taking an Off-Topic Thread Further Off-Topic') and without using Google, where does this line come from: "GOOD NIGHT, Mrs. Calabash--wherever you are!" You gotta be an old timer to ever have heard it.

Smiley notwithstanding, I'll let that one go, Dutchy. After all, I was just a kid in high school too, once upon a time...

Google it, and you'll get a woman wrestler - among other things...

It's 'bagel', Slayer. Your warning meter has just taken another hit. -

And is it still Christmas every freaking day ? All this and more on the 'old' site....

And the funny thing is that we like it fine just that way.

"Let's see, just out of curiosity... Acceleration is delta-V/delta-T. Initial velocity was, what do you guess... 120mph or better? Once they slid into the side of the tree they deformed the chassis by about 3' before it stopped compressing and tore in half. Even then the halves went another 60-80 feet. But let's say the passenger compartment stopped against the side of the tree and the halves went on beyond the tree. So delta-V is -120mph, or -176fps. Delta-T is what... 176fps/3ft or about 1/59 second? Thinking linearly here. So -176/(1/59) is -10,384 f/sec^2." So I think you left out the part about what would happen if you super-glued a Rolex to the tree just at the point of impact... No need to answer, but like I say, we're on to you, Nanuq.

what who said? said what?

Me too, now. Must be the ghost of the mods.... :-) Anyway, I'm glad it's still up... edit/update: whoops, it crashed again for me. but if it's still up for others, that must mean it's still up. i'll try again later...

That's good to hear (about it being still up for you) From where I am (Paris) impossible to connect.

The old forum appears to have crashed at approximately 12:30 GMT. No longer possible to connect, which may mean that it will never be possible to connect again. Just posting this info for those who care - remember that we wouldn't be here had we not been there to begin with - so out of respect for our origins, if you don't have anything positive to add, it would be nice if you refrained from adding anything at all to this thread. Rest in Peace, RWG1.

poor tree.
