How fun, thanks Jesse! I actually knew everyone in those photos...and you can tell Joan that I am watching Top Chef right now and am rooting for Carla, HOOTIE HOO!

( It is marathon Top Chef time, have watched four episodes in a row! )

Hello Gail,

She just informed me that she must stay up late tonight to see the new episode as she can't bear to leave it for next week!

Guess I'll have some time tonight to get to processing the mineral photos from last week.

OMG!

I love that picture of Justin and Frank.. So serious looking (but of course, we all know better than that)!

:)

fickle finger of fate??

20th Feb 2009 16:48 UTCJesse Fisher Expert

Not THE "Flying Fickle Finger of Fate"??? I think we're showing our age...

good night, Dick ;)

20th Feb 2009 17:30 UTCGail Spann Manager

I KNEW someone would get it!

Sock it to me.

"good night dick??"

22nd Feb 2009 13:55 UTCGail Spann Manager

Ray, from Rowan and Martin's laugh in show during the late 60s and early 70s. They finished the show with Good night Dick.

22nd Feb 2009 18:48 UTCPaul Brandes 🌟 Manager

Is that anything like "Goodnight, Gracie"??

22nd Feb 2009 19:21 UTCSteve Stuart Expert

What a hoot! They got to say "dick" on TV. Remember Nixon?

22nd Feb 2009 20:00 UTCGail Spann Manager

Do I remember Nixon..oh yeah. He was rather funny on the show and I was amazed a president would do humour.

I think he even said "Sock it to me." Goldie Hawn was adorable and her giggle was infectious.

And who remembers "here comes da judge"?

23rd Feb 2009 16:25 UTCJesse Fisher Expert

Along with Goldie Hawn, it was also where Lilly Tomlin got her start. Remember Ernestine the obnoxious telephone operator? "one ringy-dingy...two rinigy-dingys..."

Not that this has much to do with minerals, mind you...
