Thought perhaps it should be Drucker and 4th!

Umm, brain is working in slow motion today…is that a reference we should know? Or are we talking Green Acres/Petticoat Junction (like duh…).

Very likely you do, Watcher:

“At 4th and Drucker he turns left. At Drucker and 4th he turns right. He crosses MacArthur Park and walks into a great sandstone building (ooh - my nose). - Nick Danger Third Eye” :cool:

Whoops, now I’ve warned koeeoaddi I’m closing in and the race is on!

X-Files can now list this case as solved. Thanks koeeoaddi, I couldn’t get my mind past Drucker’s General Store and Sam Drucker. Still stuck in 60’s television land.

Do not attempt to adust your television set. We are controlling transmission…

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

I can’t get Rod Serlings voice out of my head!

Ze end (of the alphabet) is nigh!

And so we begin again.

Beg everyone’s pardon for my disappearance – had to go help my SIL pack her mother’s apartment, then had my tap class.

Can post for a while now, though – anyone around?

(Doggone it, why shouldn’t we treat this as our own little chat room?)

Exiting news, all!

Five posts will catch me up to Kat!

Guess what I’m doing before I take my shower?

Heck, it doesn’t count as post-padding if you do several letters in one post, right?

I’m thinking now that should be “exciting,” not “exiting.”

Just so doggone strange to use “exciting” properly, for an “e,” and not the cheesy “x” move we’ve all done more than once.

Kindness of strangers, I’ve always depended on.

Love to read your posts Twicks, padding or not.

Many thanks, Watcher, it’s always nice to be appreciated.

Notice you’ve changed your location – ashamed of our fair city?

Omigod, I’ve completely forgotten how to code.

Perhaps you should look it up

Philadelphia still rules, but last week (or was it the week before) I got caught up in the spirit of witty 60’s references. Or maybe it was the Firsesign Theater quotes that keep coming up.

Way to go - 84 pages! No stopping us now…

Quickly we move ahead.

Really quickly.

Sometimes you just have to blather though. There’s time to stop and smell the roses. Ugly and beautiful, dangerous and health-giving, roses remind us of the paradoxes of life. Vitality istelf is a paradox. When something is born, it begins to die in some sense; or is it that every birth is also a death? X-rays show is that life and death are entwined deep in the structure of every living thing. Youth is just a phase…

Zed! It’s Zed, not Zee! All you folks at Toronto radio station Z103.5 get that through your heads! Because it’s really grating to hear it in the fitness club when I work out. Could you try to be Canadian in your station-ID at least?

Damn. Even my friends think I’m turning into an aging eccentric. Fortunately, I’m fighting for inner youngness. Grumbling about trivia like this is just a way of letting off steam. However, there is a ‘ha-ha-only-serious’ side to it… I do feel myself getting older. Justifiably, too: I turn 40 this summer.

Karma, I think, is the reason why my life has turned out as it did. Like many, I tended to act out of fear, not courage or love. More than once I didn’t overcome my fear and ask someone out when I had the chance. Now it’s too late. Our society is fixated on youth; being forty is a significant barrier to romance. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I just don’t see a chance that any woman would be interested in me now… Quite disturbing, it is. Really disturbing.

Should I shut up now?

[sub]There–I just dropped it in at the right time… :)[/sub]

Quiet, Smeghead – remember I’m the Supreme Judge and Executioner of this thread!

Right-o, Watcher, nothing like a Firesign Theater reference to warm this middle-aged heart.

Santa Barbara, they were from, where I lived in the mid seventies – I saw them perform live once, funny stuff.

Think you’ll come to the next Philly doper gathering? I wanted to go to the Imax trip, but it turned out to come right in the middle of a work crisis (which happened right when my bf’s mother died, not to be a downer or anything).

Undoubtedly not something to be proud of – but I’m now the top poster in this thread.

Very interesting post, sunspace,

which I just noticed, being caught up in my own little solipsistic trip ther for a moment.

Xstacy is still possible after the age of 40 – I’m 48, my bf is 55 and bald. Who’da thunk?

You want details?

Ze accomplishment is admirable Twicks, we are all very proud.

We suspected that the 47 in your name might be an age reference.
