Good point.

I got mine in 1968 and never saw an elephant afterward, although I hunted hard.

Elephants and protection of family from the Beagle Boys gang (as Ol' Fashioned Girl alluded to) are good reasons for owning a BB gun, but Ralphie's opening gambit was Flick says he saw some grizzly bears near Pulaski's candy store. This trumps "You'll shoot your eye out."

Geographical limitation. I can't see it here.

I did the Twist at my daughter's wedding. That's me at the end.

At least a nurse is nearby. The twist was all the rage in the early '60s. I think it's how I ruined all my joints.

Belated Happy Birthday, Chase. One of these days I'll get my act together and check in every day like I'm supposed to. Possibly if and when my place sells and I can stop spending so much time actually cleaning and keeping things neat. Not my usual style at all.

Your daughter got married? Congratulations!

No. Keeping them in your pockets when you did the Twist, is what did it.

And by the way, folks. At our age, it's not called the Twist. It's called St Vitus Dance. :banana:

Bard, doing housework is like threading beads with no knot on the end. You have my sympathies. :Hug2:

As yesterday's cloudy Independence Day darkened, Kay and I :Hug2:

looked from our second-story window on a distant fairgrounds fireworks display. We could imagine Francis Scott Key's view aboard the Minden in Baltomore Harbor witnessing "the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air" above Fort McHenry.

It only took me reading it every day from July 3 to July 5 to get that one.

At least you got it.

Perhaps I should have said, 'smoke 'em before you dance.'

But I do. AARP might pilfer and paraphrase UNCF's longtime slogan with "a mind is a terrible thing to lose."

GailD · Jul 9, 2018

I had a mind once to

:ROFL:

porlock · Jul 9, 2018

It's mind over matter; if I had a mind, it wouldn't matter.

BardSkye · Jul 19, 2018

I don't mind. It doesn't matter.

Yep, I'm still alive. Not very reliable at checking in, but it's been too hot to turn the computer on. (I don't have air conditioning. While I like the heat, the computer doesn't, especially with the new El-Cheapo provider my park has put in.)

:sob: I never did get it.

porlock · Jul 20, 2018

A joint in his pocket, as Mary Jane, grass, weed, ect. However, if had just had a "joint" he should have been so relaxed . the "twist" shouldn't have bothered him. I'm over-analyzing the "joke." If you have to explain it (never mind)...

Gail is right, then, he should've at least had some spiked Alice B. Tocklas brownies

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Jul 20, 2018

Aha! That would explain why I didn't get it!

Ect? Electro-convulsive therapy? Not even shock treatments would help potheads remember the '60s. Or '70s, '80s, etc.

I stayed pure and alive during my military, skydiving, and teaching years--and my memory is intact.

This Gail who shook the thread and woke me must be new here. :welcome:

, new girl.

Where exactly am I? :Shrug:

porlock · Jul 21, 2018

I never partook of mind-altering substances, illegal or not - but my memory:what's that? I don't need to remember stuff anyway - my wife takes care of that for me (I did what February 3rd, 1992?) :roll:

GailD · Jul 22, 2018

*grabs Chase by the ears, shakes his memory* :hi:

Forget it, Porlock. We know what you did February 3rd 1992!!!

:roll:

Forget it. Get it? :roll:
