Wait, squirrel....

How could anyone leave this forum? A directionless thread turns into a discussion on past members, rival forums, Shakespeare, Simon and Garfunkel, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams! Classic stuff! Exactly why we're all here!

Hi Barry,

You literary dileliottante, you! I know what you are talking about-

I assume I am one of those scintillating posters who isn't around as much that you miss so much.... :D

That was the "cruellest" post (I think only Peter and I know what we are talking about).

Re....." Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you "

Initially, Joe D was not too happy about his name being in Simon and Garfunkel's song.

But, Joe's agent advised Joe that it would be good publicity for him. So, Joe OK'd it.

But, Joe refused to allow these lyrics to be sung in the movie (The Graduate).

And, sure enough, the lyrics are not included in the song featured in the movie.

Here's a guy that was married to Marilyn Monroe and still says Mr. Coffee was the best he ever tasted. (I think it was Gallagher)

Didn't really leave so much as went on a self-imposed posting moratorium,
saving the next post we'd make for some actually valuable contribution to
hobby knowledge, or at least something seriously intelligent to say, or at
the very least something brilliantly hilarious, because that post would be
our milestone 500th... annnd... oh noooo! Damn you, Frank!

I guess I don't post as much because I don't find the board as interesting as it once was. Many of the best posters have left, and I think that detracts a little. Nothing you can do about it. People come and go...talking of Michelangelo.:)

For a post aimed at people who are no longer here, this is getting a lot of responses.

To get into Luger's, you have to make reservations more than a month in advance. And you have to bring cash, no credit cards. But it's not hype, best porterhouse steak you will ever eat. Figure $75-100 each, minimum. I can set it up, but we need to keep to a commitment.

Barry,

I can tell you when I could have made it in June, but I hear the sky is falling in September.

As you know ordering steak on this medium rarely is successful.:D
