SpecialEducation Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 But my response was going to be hilarious! I spent minutes in Photoshop perfecting it. And yet I knew I probably shouldn't. Thanks for keeping me out of trouble, Speedo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Are undertones permitted? Allusions? May we cast aspersions? How about an aspersion that alludes to an overtone? Inquiring minds want to know...................Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Aren't "undertones" the lower colors on two or three-tone paint jobs? It's well known that Hollywood actors and others drove Buicks in the 1940s and thereabouts, but how many politicians, past/present/future had Buicks? I remember many Fords, Oldsmobiles, Lincolns, and a few Chryslers, but Buicks? Curious minds exist? There is ALSO an Internet Movie Database (Imdb) for CARS! What cars were in what movie/tv show episode, whether as "main players" or "background". Check it out! NTX5467 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Jay Silverheels owned a tire shop and turquoise jewellery store in town. I hung out there some in the early 1970's.

60FlatTop Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Good article on Mr. Silverheels. You'll get a smile out of him if you mention Brockport. His brother in law, Lou and I did a lot of car stuff back then. I'm smiling about all the things I can't write. There is a pretty good cruise night over in Akron, on the south side of the Seneca reservation. I take a run over there a few times every year, I always remember my favorite Seneca Princess when I take the drive. Bernie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Keemosabee' is the English phonetic for 'Quien no sabe' , which Spanish for "He who does not know" Es verdad. Yo soy seguro. In the Johnny Depp movie about the Lone Ranger, in which he plays Tonto, Tonto says that Keemosabee stand for "wrong brother." In the beginning of the movie, the actual Texas Ranger was shot and his brother dawned the mask and took the badge. Not a particularly good movie but it had a few good one-liners.

60FlatTop Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 An interesting aside related to the direction this topic has take: At a meeting a couple of days ago I mentioned that a programmer I use has returned Indian and we are working through a NAS. So a fully grown man looks at me seriously and asks "What do they call the people who live in India?" I didn't have the heart to tell him.

NTX5467 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Decades channel is based upon "binges" of the 1950s and 1960s tv shows. Buzzr is the game shows from the 1950s and 1960s. This week, Decades is doing "Peter Gunn". Watching those old "What's My LIne" and "I've Got A Secret" replays are interesting, both in content and just how far tv shows had progressed by even 1965. Neat to see the old "stars" of those shows, which I didn't understand (at that time) what made those game show regulars worthy of being on those shows (other than being New Yorkers or from that region, at a time when anything "big city" was better than other stuff). If you go to the "Old Tucson" movie sets and tourist attraction, you'll see many of the mountains which were in those old western shows. When I became aware that many of those westerns were shot out there, it became obvious as those mountains in the distance were the same in many movies/western shows. Enjoy the old black and white tv shows! Seeing what they could get away with doing back then, compared to modern times, is amazing. Kind of like Alex and the horse in "Blazing Saddles". An interesting and funny story about how they got that movie "past the sensors", back then! AND, of course, seeing them usually results in some neat cars we haven't seen in quite some time (where the IMCDB comes in handy.

RivNut Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 TVLand shows daily episodes of Gunsmoke. I grew up out there in Kansas and I know a couple of things for sure. Unlike the "set," Dodge City is just about a flat as the proverbial pancake. The actual location for shooting the sow was somewhere in the mountains of southern Utah. But everyone bought i to it and the show ran on television for 20 years. Kind of like buying a car. Until you see it in person, it just ain't the same.

Back on topic (sorta)... while everyone else was watching election results Tuesday night, I was watching Gunsmoke!
