If his forum handle was " Vomit Comet " , that would be about right.

Bill, I cannot believe you referenced Boney M!!! LOL!! I remember them from the Disco era!! Wowza! You just gave me a flashback! For a moment I thought they did "Burning Love" but.... my bad, that was D. D. Sound. Those are some neurons that haven't fired for a few years, you know? :boxing:

I'm planning on 74 May the twooth. How many of y'all remember Tom Lehrer "Poisoning Pigeons in The Park", or "She's My Girl and I love Her"?

Or how about this one:
HOT ROD RACE
(written by George Wilson)
Arkie Shibley & His Mountain Dew Boys - 1950


Now me and my wife and my brother Joe,
took off in my Ford from San Pedro.
We hadn't much gas 'n' the tires was low,
but the doggone Ford could really go.

Now along about the middle of the night,
we were rippin' along like white folks might,
when a Mercury behind he blinked his lights,
and he honked his horn and he flew outside.

We had twin pipes and a Columbia butt,
you people may think that I'm in a rut,
but to you folks who don't dig the jive,
that's two carburetors and an overdrive.

We made grease spots outta many good town,
and left the cops heads spinnin' round 'n' round.
They wouldn't chase, they'd run and hide,
but me and that Mercury stayed side by side.

Now we were Ford men and we likely knew,
that we would race until somethin' blew,
and we thought it over,
now, wouldn't you?

I looked down at my lovely bride,
her face was blue, I thought she'd died.
We left streaks through towns about forty feet wide,
but me and that Mercury stayed side by side.

My brother was pale, he said he was sick,
he said he was just a nervous wreck.
But why should I worry, for what the heck,
me and that Mercury was still neck-and-neck.

Now on through the deserts we did glide,
a-flyin' low and a-flyin' wide,
me an' that Mercury was a-takin' a ride,
and we stayed exactly side by side.

Now I looked in my mirror and I saw somethin' comin',
I thought it was a plane by the way it was a-runnin'.
It was a-hummin' along at a terrible pace,
and I knew right then it was the end of the race.

When it flew by us, I turned the other way,
the guy in the Mercury had nothin' to say,
But I could see by the streak of grey,
it was a kid, in a hopped up Model-A.

Tom, actually it was Krysh who initially brought up Bony M...still really don't know who they were...(American) disco group popular in Europe?

Euro-Caribbean group started out in Germany. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boney_M.

Their success here in the States was limited. Only because I was a DJ during that era did I know who they were. I haven't thought of them in YEARS!!

Boney M had some hits in Oz, pretty well known here I would day.

Now what I want to know from a native German is how the Kelly Family were so big over there? Never heard of them until I saw a whole heap of their records in a store there.

I don't know and I did never understand why they hasd such a big success over here. I'm too tired to google right now, but from what I remember, they immigrated from ireland to cologne somewhen and lived from streetmusic around cologne and somehow the tv caught some attention and made them big. I might be wrong though, but I never liked them.

Thanks for the reply krysh. Yes, a curious tale!

Something funny happened to me yesterday; I was watching some TV and all of a sudden out of nowhere, I'm thinking "damn! I'm 57..." as if I couldn't believe it, but I remembered making this statement quoted above, so it had to be true right?
However, to remove all doubt, I ask my spouse (hoping she would know for sure) "how old am I?", she then proceeds by stating my birth year, which happens to be 1962, and starts measuring the interval between then and 2017, (which indicated to me that she wasn't sure either).
Come to find out I'm 55! LMAO :laughing:
I took that as rather positive news, although the whole experience might point to early signs of senility maybe?

Still no clue where this "57" number came from tho.... but since everything on the internet HAS to be true, I felt compelled to bring forth the correction and expose the Truth.

I've heard a lack of Mayo and Worcestershire sauce in the diet can lead to thinking one is older than one really is. Happy Birthday anyway Pascal!!

Maybe somebody secretly spiked your regular steak sauce with this:



But apparently it'll help you reach 100, even if you don't know you're there.

Pascal, thanks for helping me work out that one of my sisters is in fact younger than you...actually, both of them ; ]
