Oh, I don't know. I think I'm rather obvious and if I get my proper due, I'll be reincarnated as a 1970s black pimp's hat.

I once saw an interview with Lawrence Olivier where he was asked why he'd done shows where, on a single evening, he'd perform Lear, Hamlet and Richard. He said, "Showing off."

Another time, Dustin Hoffman was recounting working on Marathon Man with him (near the end of his life and in bad shape). Hoffman asked, rhetorically, "Why do we [actors] do what we do?" Olivier slowly rose from his chair and put his face right up close to Hoffman's face and intoned, "Look at me, look at me, look at me"

Lawrence Olivier. Bernie Latham. Pretty easy to mistake the two of us.

@george - back later

Showing off is one of the sweetest delights of living,:don't knock it. What would young guys do without it??

There were many pithy sayings in Naval Aviation: one was "better to die than to look bad".

You took it wrong

Then it was ambiguous condescension. In any event I apologize. I could do without the scolding though.

@georgeob1,

I am beside myself. And it take a very good medication to manage that.

Sure, but at 66? I'm thinking of that black pimp mentioned earlier and wondering what he's up to now., at our age. Cribbage tournaments in really tight leather pants? He's got an online presence where he writes under the pseudonym Pignominious DaFeet? He has a Netflix account and can never find anything worth watching? He is wondrous at the undeniable fact that the only pornography that catches his attention features large ladies from New Zealand?

But I can still dance? If we're talking about showing off, dance is really the thing.

Panz is underrated, he may be the very most sane a2k person, snapping bright, relaxed a fair amount of the time, highly observant.

Don't **** with him or I'll beat you up.

The Panz and I are long time buds. How about if I **** with him just a little bit and then get a spanking?

Which brings to mind those incidents where it was hot and sweaty and you kiss the girl and then there's a pause and you ask, "What?" and she answers, "I'm waiting for The Prince to appear" and you croak and she said, "Stop croaking".

Oh gee'z...I was thinking you should all get a room…

But don't forget to invite me!

I'll bring the beer.

AND the snacks.

@blatham,

Since you like him, I'll put off beating you or anyone else up.
This is good, since I fail to have an adequate accumulation of fronds.

@Joeblow,

Room?! We'll require an auditorium. We have standards around here, bub.

You've got me here. I don't quite know how to respond to this intimate detail. So, let me play the cliched "Austrian card"...

Did you know that the whole Austrian mountain yodeling thing has been misreported to us? We've swallowed a myth. Wholesale. Still not a good deal.

The real story is that those Austrian high-mountain communities each had a big slingshot and local women who were not quite a proper fit for local circumstances, were placed in the slingshot and sent over to another Austrian high-mountain community. The vocalizations coming from these women as they soared above the green valleys were the true source of yodel song.

Against Walter, you don't need much.

You girls won't know this (and some of you boys) but if you have a foreskin, sometimes when you go to pee, that foreskin is stuck, usually around the middle somewhere, and two streams of pee flow on either side of the toilet.

And you think to yourself about God. Either this Dude is paying close attention to detail and he's a really weird Dude or else he's got a shitload on automatic.

Either answer is not comforting.

I'm going off topic here. I apologize. That's a thread behavior which discomfits me. But how would you like to be having this much fun right now...
