Just a chime....or??

[westgrandboulevard]

The devil is in the detail.

[sophisticated_soul]

I don't see why there would have been any confusion in either case. It was perfectly clear to me. I took dental appliances [[uppers and lowers) to my very first legal team, brothers Gip and Skip Towne.

[arr&bee]

YOU GUYS SHOULD'VE CALLED ME AND I WOULDA HOOKED YOU UP WITH THE TOP LAW FIRM IN DA HOOD...[TAKE,THA,MONEE&RUNN]]WHY THESE LEGAL DOGS WILL TAKE ANY CASE BIG OR SMALL..[OF COURSE YOU GOTTA PAY EM UP FRONT]AS IN MEET EM IN FRONT OF THE OFFICE...ACTUALLY IT'S MORE OF A STORE FRONT WINDOW WITH A DESK AND A PHONEBOOTH IN THE CORNER,BUT THEY DON'T TURN ANYONE DOWN IF YOU GOT CASH...[and the next case they win will be their first].

As far as I know those two characters are from Three Stooges shorts. I. Fleecem is from "Heavenly Daze" [[1948) and I. Cheatham from "Three Pests In A Mess" [[1945). There is a well known poster of the Three Stooges as Dewey Cheatem & Howe, but it does not relate to any short they did.

I was just making a joke. I don't remember Calhoun having a firm name. I think he was just an independent not-totally-honest lawyer.

Well the yokes on me. I did get the "Amos 'N' Andy" reference, but I didn't know enough about the show to know if Algonquin J. Calhoun had an office or not.

[Jerry Oz]

LOL. I had to Google Algonquin J. Calhoun. Amos and Andy predate me by a few years...

[westgrandboulevard]

Here in the UK, the first time I heard of 'Amos 'n' Andy' was the name check in the song 'Bosom Buddies', from 'Mame'.....

[arr&bee]

I remember calhoun,and he was a hoot,great show that got caught up in politics.

[westgrandboulevard]

Not unlike the Presidential election.....

[arr&bee]

Except that amos n andy was a better show.

[Jerry Oz]

Good Lord. When they make the movie about this election, will it be a comedy or horror story?

[TomatoTom123]

A tragedy!! Lol

[arr&bee]

If trump wins...a tragedy of atomic proportions!!

[144man]

When counting down to the new year, I hope everybody remembered to adjust for the leap second

[arr&bee]

Wow you guys are pulling out all the classic post[i love em]may the nonsense continue all year long hehehehehe....heck we better laugh while we can,it's almost[jan.20]ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

[arr&bee]

What...somebody has to write something here right? This nice big post just sitting here collecting internet dust[ahhchoooo]i'm getting an allergy over here,the nice internet cleaning lady will be by to dust soon,she's so nice.

[144man]

You're wrong. No one's going to write anything here.

[arr&bee]

Ok,nobody will,but somebody might hey here we are.

[144man]

February's nearly over already. Time really does go faster when you get older.

[Jerry Oz]

Just be happy time is still passing. When it stops, being older was the least of your laments.

[arr&bee]

You mean that time hasn't stopped???...yikes!!!

[robb_k]

You mean that time hasn't stopped???...yikes!!!

YES IT HAS!!! Don't you remember? It stopped when Marvin Smith's Girl said she didn't love him!

[Jerry Oz]

Time will stop when your president decides having nukes without the ability to use them is a waste of money.

[arr&bee]

Yep,he may decide to blow it all up and start over...the only places left standing will be[trump towers and greasy grady's]and when he realizes that grady's is the only eatery left,his hair will turn gray.

[arr&bee]

...and then the bee said to the lion..oh are we back on?

[144man]

It's a darn good job that time does exist. It's the only thing that stops everything happening allatonce.

[Jerry Oz]

I seewhatyou didthere.

[arr&bee]

You mean that stuff ain't supposed to happen all at once...opps!!!

[arr&bee]

You know those songs that the birds chirp in the morning...did they write those???hmmmmm???

[144man]

No, they didn't. They're just winging it.

[Jerry Oz]

I don't listen to the birds anymore since I bought the songs on digital. You should look into it. The whole collection is kind of cheep.

[144man]

The price didn't matter that much to me. If I couldn't afford to pay there and then, I could buy them on a "higher perches" contract.

[Jerry Oz]

Make sure you get the right collection, then. Some birds are better than others. To be sure, some go out on a limb and are much more taloned than others.

[arr&bee]

Word on the street is that[big bird]was gonna front a group[birds of a feather]but when[woodsy owl]got into it with[foghorn leghorn]over who would sing lead all heck broke loose,so he hired[daffy duck]to handle things but woodsy won't speak to him,meanwhile tweety bird is telling folks that he has a contract to be lead singer not to mention heckle and jeckle who only want to sing duets...it's a mess!!!

[Jerry Oz]

I hope they're good. They're all going to have to wing it now that President McNasty cut funding to PBS and the Interior Department.

[arr&bee]

Yep another mess,wait til they find out that as a result of that slashing they will have to share the same mic.

[arr&bee]

Hey west,is the[deathmarch]a song or what?? You know the gruesome song...dum dum de dum dum de dum de dum de dum!!

[144man]

The chimes of Big Ben were due to be silenced for four years during repairs to the Elizabeth Tower in order to protect workers' hearing. Now Members of Parliament including the Prime Minister have asked officials to review the decision.

[144man]

Yay! Big Ben is chiming again until it rings in the new year.

[arr&bee]

What,silence big ben?? Now way,let him sing!!

[arr&bee]

Is it that time of year again??oh i got some bargains over here don't do a thing til you check it me.

[144man]

Jerry, I was imagining that, following your response in # 3973, the C word to which 144man was referring...was C-hristmas.......?

That's exactly how I meant it, with of course the double-meaning in mind.
