I honestly want to know. I realize that a field day will be had with this thread and that’s fine, just please eventually arrive at the point and provide a link if you could. Thanks.

it’s the thread that spawned it all off I think
We could tell you, but only at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. For 20 minutes. In 1968.
PS–when come, bring pie. 
Wow that is very ordinary. How did it catch on?
:wally
Well you won’t find out straggler. Everyone else was there in 1960.
Dogface’s reaction was so memorable a line that it just caught people’s imagination.
Tesla’s 1920s style death ray has a life beyond the SDMB as well.
Ooooo! A new Callahan book. I must have it!
I don’t know if I should be embarrassed or proud that I was the first to riff on Dogface’s triple post.
:o
don’t ask, this kind of thing has been riffed on numerous times just since I’ve been here. The most recent one was Rio by Duran Duran (also today’s Threadspotting entry); before that was Only Once, in 1960. For 20 Minutes.
Thank you.
Oops…for some reason I thought don’t ask was the OP. I should have addressed my post to you, NattoGuy.
