So you're all telling me I can put away my silver bullets?

Lucid? Wasn't that the daughter's name? No, wait that was Lucie Baines Johnson. As to you DLO--Thanks so much...for nothing! How could you build us up with hope and then shoot us down with the threat of at least another year?

Truly a mine of useless information. Is this all from memory, or is it a case of too many search engines and too much time? Sadly the majority is from memory. The only exceptions being the listings of what Fiedler, Warden and Klugman are credited on IMDB as having done in the past few years.

Well let me see-- We have 2 Jacks and a John and an often used friendly form of the name John is Jack. Therefore it would seem that the survivors of 12 Angry Men are all Jacks. What does this mean? I don't know. Another odd item is that John "Jack" Fiedler was in the 1968 film version of The Odd Couple which starred another Jack-Jack Lemon. I'm beginning to see a connecting thread. As for health, Klugman had throat cancer some 10 years ago but is still alive and has done work (including voice work) since that time although in an even more gravelly voice than before. Fiedler has spent most of the last 20 some odd years doing the voice of Piglet in various animated Winnie The Pooh films. Warden was working in 2002. More useless information: Martin Balsam was in 12 Angry Men. Walter Matthau was in the film version of The Odd Couple. Both of these men appeared in The Taking of Pelham 123. (I told you it was useless information.) Another tidbit: Tomorrow is the 35 year anniversary of the death of Ed Begley who was another of the jurors in 12 Angry Men. Hope this has quelled your fears and added to your confusion.

The sperm donor's nightmare! Not quie so dire OM-- I'm quite, um, handy , with my left for those purposes. (You do mean entering in the vitals into a listing don't you?)

Bit the big one. Kicked off. Benefited us all with his/her demise. Returned to Heaven/Hell. Stopped whining. Began to decay. Ate their last burger. Rode off into the sunset one last time. Missed the exit ramp. Made the crossing. Got a star. (for the very nice) Got a new pitchfork. (for the not so nice) Went to greener pastures. Joined the Angel choir. He's/she's done gone! Got off the walk of life.

So what you are saying to us oh great and revered one, is that 'We have 400 registered members' which tells us that there may have been persons here at various times who are no longer here and that the message on the main page refers to currently registered members . I was wondering, is there a time frame given where a person must post before they are removed or is removal based solely on other factors?

[quote name=Notapotato' date='Apr 15 2005, 07:39 PMYou a bassoon player Bruno? I knew there was something crooked about you [/quote] I started out on the clarinet at about 11 years old but found it seemed too Benny Goodman-like and he was not my hero. Some verbal coaxing on my part earned me the opportunity to learn the stately(and sexy) bassoon which I kept at for several years. At 19 my grandfather helped purchase my first (I've only had 2) bassoon, a Schreiber (the company began in the year of my ordination, er, I mean birth. I was part of a few musical groups, as well as years of insanity where I would often play in subways (New York City) for spare dollars. Not once did I give thought to the idea that my instrument might be stolen--mercifully it was not. A few years ago I had an injury which left me with no control of my right hand, which in turn led me to hanging up the bassoon. And yes, I really did hang it up. It's in a custom built display case in my home.

I feel like such a bassoon for not having known about it sooner. Perhaps I have decided to reed too much into this. If you think so then give me a Huller so I won't be feeling too great a Schoeneck. Suppose I should leave now so you'll not Heckel me any more.Music to the ears I am sure you're all wishing I wood-wind this down.

Well actually I wasn't waiting for those photos. I had been waiting for the photos you had promised us of his nude frolic in the waters of The Straits of Gibralter during the autumn of 1972 (and have been and shall continue to do so). Looking over the photos though I must say he does not look well. ------- Oh, wait a second, he's dead isn't he? Guess that explains why I wasn't invited to the weekly dinner (at least this time there's a legitimate reason).

Well no chemo is really endless is it? I mean doesn't one eventually die, thus ending the chemotherapy which means it's not endless. Hmm... Unfortunately all this mention of Jane makes me think of David Tomlinson (George Banks in the supercalifragilistic movie classic Mary Poppins) let's all join in singing http://music.kids.us/rhyme16.html Sadly George has been gone, er, I mean David has been gone since around 2000. You know, this also ties into the Angela Lansbury postings since Tomlinson (David, not Jane) appeared with Lansbury in Bedknobs and Broomsticks

I learned one thing from that show. Never accept a cup of tea from an old lady living in Maine who has no trace of her British accent remaining. It was downright creepy. You heard me correctly. She deposited mind altering chemicals into those posts of tea, she did. That's how she was able to get away with murdering all those defenseless has been actors over the years.

Oh come off of it, it's obvious she wants to go on as long as possible to stop charly getting the throne. I repeat - Philip will go first. But more importantly will Chuckie go before his mum? How about Camilla? Shall she be disposed of once Chuck becomes tired of her as a marriage partner? Is it possibible that Chuck doesn't like matrimony as much as wearing ugly plaids?

Goodness me you knew Julia quite well if you're calling her darling.

Was it a different age according to other sites? Some may recall that it was this puzzlement of a weirdity where within which I first arrived here for a similar age discrepancy. (gosh gollickers I sure hope that made sense) I am also wondering if it's about time to begin singing "Go down Moses".

Poor Reggie. You know he was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day. I guess this may be the end of his yellowbrick road. By the by--have you selected a year which you'd like to market to us for this passing?

I just finished reading More Die Of Heartbreak. Strange book but in typical Bellow fashion it held my attention throughout.

Sad, very sad. I shall miss this man greatly. As for connections let me offer this little route of convoluted lunacy: The Pope was the Catholic leader, Prince Rainier was Catholic and a Monarch of some sort who liked women who came from Philadelphia, Lord What's-his-name was British and part of a country that a one time had a war with the country which became the United States which has a city named Philadelphia. Add to this mix that the United States has a large Catholic population which mostly ignores the rulings of The Vatican, which brings us to both Prince Rainier and Lord What's-his-name. Prince Rainier's children often went against both The Catholic church (extramarital sex, divorce, possible gayness in the form of Albert) and the standards of Monaco. Lord What's-his-name was a bit of a mucky-muck in Great Britain where the children of the Queen often do as they please and ignore Church and State rules. I do hope these ramblings of a demented old man have cleared up the confusion. One other thing directed to Mr.Jury---If Prince William is gay and Prince Albert is gay could they perchance have a union of their very own? Oh that would set some tongues a wagging I'm sure.

you don't earn very much then? Well that would explain why I'm on government assist.

Windsor, he aint gonna make it! Well, you never really know until the last breath is drawn. According to my sources he has stablized wonderfully and is viewing his two favorite films of all time on a daily basis (okay that last part ain't true; but, he is stable). Check this and other places for the proof you want (and so greatly deserve): http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/2...ncerainier.html Did I ever tell you about my collection of stamps from Monaco? I have a series of them in which Mr. Grimaldi strikes a handsome pose and a few others where he doesn't seem quite as thrilled with his difficult job. I guess that's why the first four letters of his name are GRIM. (look I don't write these jokes I just sell 'em)

Oh you are quite correct. I erred in implying that she ever even had a career to begin with. As for what I am on, I believe it's called a chair. Yup, just sitting here on my chair tapping away at these cute little plastic keys and watching letters fly out and up onto the screen. Lordy, Lordy, Lordy I sure could go for a nice big bowl of oatmeal just about now.

Sad news Frankie Perdue has died. Purported and oft misreported cause of death was unsubstantiated at best, leaving us knowing only that he indeed did go to the poultry house in the sky. There seem to be at least these few things which are known. his last meal was chicken. he was not chicken himself and was heard to utter in his last moments: "cluck cluck cluck" as one of his 'lightly seasoned and coated tenders' lodged in his throat. Loosely translated this meant that he was aware that he was going to the hen house, and from his actions he made no attempt to stop it from happening not even cracking open a bottle of Wishbone dressing. His next statement was less understood but it is known he shall never make another peep. I wonder if he'll still be head rooster.

Ah but this is where you are right and wrong all at the same time. You see on this day as the news of The Pope passing reaches his faithful in New York City it is true, it is a Rainier day than we've had for at least a week. So in conclusion a Rainier Pope on the same day. (and of course he was a rainier Pope when he spoke in the Boston Commons area years back on a rainy day as compared to his New York City Central Park sunny day appearance). All a matter of how you choose to look at it. Okay, okay! I'm leaving.

I certainly hope he isn't flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun. Perhaps I can just close my eyes now and reflect. Oh yeah. "I was thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie". Yeah, that's it, it was a lie! He's a top notch artist and it would be a very sad loss indeed.

Well I think this explains itself. If in a war for a shorter time there would be less loss of life (under normal circumstances) which means less mental stress caused by losing a buddy in a war which would lead to a happier and therefore healthier and quite possibly longer life span.
