Guest Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 That's OK.

Guest Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Another great mystery evolves. I will see if Earl Stanley's Gardner is available for me to seek out Perry's Mason for assistance.<P>Ah Ha!

Guest Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Dashiell's Hammett may be the vehicle needed to explore this puzzling turn of events. Hedda's Hopper says that Douglas's Fairbanks was hit by Mary's Pickford which was confirmed by Buddy's Rogers giving the cause as too much alcohol in Mary's cooling system.

Guest Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Western Railroad History - 101<P>Back in 1867, Gen. Grenville DODGE platted the city of Cheyenne not too long after an encounter with the not so SILENT SIOUX out in the wilds of western NEBRASKA.<P>At the time DODGE was the CHIEF engineer for the UNION PACIFIC railroad. The UNION PACIFIC was begun as a promotion of one THOMAS DURANT back on the EAST coast. DURANT was a real WHEELER dealer.<P>However, by 1867 the railroad was under the leadership of the AMES brothers. Not the musical AMES brothers, but OLIVER and Oakes AMES who were shovel manufacturers. The brothers, who were the 3rd generation owners of AMES & Sons, were known as the KING of spades. Their company survives today as the AMES tool company.<P>Tomorrow we will get into the names of some other individuals involved with the railroads.

Guest Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 It appears that my attempt at change in direction for this thread has met with little enthusiasm. Therefore all future history classes have been cancelled.<P>However, in the meantime I heard from 4 guys who wanted their cars included. Funny they should be interested.<P>Red's SKELTON - Jackie's GLEASON - Red's FOX and Jonathan's WINTERS. <P>I also heard that the ADAMS FAMILY was out in their THING.

Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Away back in 1649 CHARLES 1st was beheaded by order of PARLIAMENT and the country was controlled by the NEW MODEL army until OLIVER CROMWELL was appointed LORD protector of the realm with full POWERS both CIVIL and military, one of his most trusted lieutenants being THOMAS FAIRFAX who had distinguished himself at the siege of BRISTOL where he took the city from the ROYAL army.<P>Well Howard, you wanted an emphasis on history...................................................<BR> Carleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 But Howard, if we all had a little fun with this pointless stuff, what's the harm? Certainly reinforces the concept the American WMs are masters of real trivia.<P>I had the impression that some of the posters on this thread were keeping it alive just to see if we could get it to two pages.

Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 In light of the renewed interest in history, I remind everyone that we are coming to the 225th anniversary of the date in TIME when George WASHINGTON made his heroic and historic crossing the DELAWARE at TRENTON. <P>At his side in the boat sat GENERAL HENRY "Ox" KNOX, a man of some 280 pounds. WASHINGTON nudged KNOX with the tip of his boot and said, "Shift that fat ass Harry. But slowly, or you'll swamp the damned boat."<P>Now that is history we can all appreciate.

Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Since we have jumped to the late 18th century it's apropos to recall what Ben FRANKLIN {U.S. envoy to FRANCE and ladies man par exellance} said to the Duchess of ORLEANS after a particularly witty exchange, " madame, that was a very cunning stunt". cheers, Carleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novaman Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 How about the beer ad (I forgot brand) that was saluting the outside the stadium peanut seller. It has in the ad “while selling us your salted nuts” and “while we are spreading mustard on our wiener” . I only heard that ad for about two weeks. Wonder why. <p>[ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: novaman ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 LI ~ My PILGRIM runs on gasoline, not on hot air which seems to be the emission produced by Gazzer.

As I think it is said "En Espanol, 'caca pasa'" and he seems to be "Un grande caca" Perdone el pobre espanol. It has been a long time since it has been used.
