But Abbott and Costello refined it to a masterpiece.

I was born and raised in the city, and I understand it…

@Buckshot Bob I hate you with the burning hate of 1000 suns.

The Brits originally called their sport "soccer." There were other games of "football" in existence at the time such as "rugby football." So, we didn't so much steal the name as applied it to another similar sport. I would agree with the rest, however. https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/06/the-origin-of-the-word-soccer/

When he was told to keep his eye on the ball, I don't think that was what they meant. I wonder what his shiner looked like.

One from Rush (with Aimee Mann) that I didn't appreciate until I got older. "Children growing up, old friends growing older."

I haven't had my morning coffee this morning, so I will try to be polite. I'm fine with someone having an opinion, but in those cases where you want to express it, perhaps you should learn to be a bit more polite about it, especially when it should be obvious you might be insulting others (You might have figured it from my previous comment). Anyone here who thought Limbaugh had anything to do with this should crawl out from their cultural rock more often. I was introduced to the band Rush long before some guy by the last name of Limbaugh hit the scene. I'm glad you avoided them for the extent of their career, because you simply wouldn't have understood. In large part, Neil Peart, their drummer and lyricist wrote the soundtrack of my adolescence and much of my adulthood. Geddy Lee's vocals aren't everyone's cup of tea by a long shot, but the musical talent of the band is difficult to deny. I could go on, but I will end by saying I was at work with customers waiting when I found out Peart had died of a rare brain cancer. It was like a punch in the gut, because of the importance of their music in my life. So, no, I need not show my hand out of cluelessness. If I did raise it, it would probably be an inappropriate gesture, and I try to avoid that. I need coffee.

An elderly man accidentally crashes into an expensive car. The owner of the expensive car jumps out and angrily confronts the old man, saying, "Give me $10,000 cash or I will beat you to a pulp!!!" The elderly man steps back, responding, "Hold on, Sir, I don't have that much money, but let me call my son, he trains dolphins." With shaking hands the man dials his son, and as he is about to speak, the owner of the expensive car yanks the phone out of his hand and says, "So you train dolphins? Well your father just hit and damaged my car! You bring me $10,000 dollars or I'm going to beat the snot out of him and you both!" The son answers, "OK, give me fifteen minutes and I'll be there." In exactly fifteen minutes the son pulls up in a Jeep, and four men jump out and beat the owner of the expensive car to a pulp. Meanwhile, the son walks over to his father and says, "Dad, I train Navy SEALS, not dolphins."

What? The student is right! Well, along with a little help from Pye Dubois

From Facebook Marketplace: I post because I would love one, but would run into the same result!

I despise peacocks. This would make me willing to find out if they taste like chicken.

Another that AB and I danced to, and have many times since.

Absolutely! I will see if I can find the article that tells about it, but as I recall, at one point, the band’s then lead guitarist left the band right before they were to go on tour. Evidently he thought it would leave them somewhat in a bind. He didn’t realize Nancy could play everything he did, and stepped up to do just that. She just has a love for the acoustic.

I definitely agree, but Ann is not a vocal “one trick pony.” If you want to grasp how good she is, go to YouTube and search for “Charismatic Voice Heart.” The channel is a professional opera singer and vocal coach who analyzes different singers. She has been very impressed by Ann Wilson.

What did I miss?
