  1. Titanic fans/buffs... I've learned new evidence in the Titanic crash. The trying to reverse the engines from Ahead Full to Full Astern caused 'em to crash. The wake/draft/slipstream left behind by the ship going forward at full speed caused 'em to crash. It drifted 'em right to the iceberg and right into collision with it. Plus anybody knows when ya slow down from going forward to go reverse you lose speed. I think they had better chances staying ahead full and try to turn around it. Maybe would have completely missed it. Also original 2nd Officer David Blair was replaced by Charles Lightoller at the last minute. Blair was in such a hurry to leave this ship when Charles became 2nd Officer, that he(Blair)left the ship without handing over the key to the lookouts binoculars locker. The Crows Nest guys didn't have their binoculars to see the berg in time. The Crows Nest is the thingy up on the tall mast/pole the Looks hung out in.

  3. I was told about the Halloween costumes such as Fun World Gilligan's Island Skipper's Costume... "They try to make them as accurate to TV and movies as they can get." Do costumes do that?
  4. Friends say "All the talk about Dukes being racist was a sales gimmick." I'd agree what with prices of merch being what they are these days. Raise prices, and use so called racism of Dukes as their excuse.
  5. (Season 1 Alcohol and Old Lace) Andy Taylor:"It smells like a little bit of liquor don't it?" Barney Fife:"Pow pow pow!" Opie Taylor:"They had a flower making machine ‼️" Andy Taylor:"Now Opie, machines don't make flowers, that's Mother Nature's job." Opie Taylor:"Well, they got a machine to help."

  9. How many of you felt the way I did, on the show Aunt Bee's Brief Encounter where Mr. Wheeler took the glass of lemonade Aunt Bee brought out for him? Aunt Bee’s thought he was really workin hard & here Andy just got off the roof from putting shingles on & worked up a sweat & Mr. Wheeler had the nerve to stand on that ladder drinking that ice cold lemonade when Andy was dieing of thirst !
  10. (Season 3 The Hazzardville Horror) Waylon Jennings:"Things are different in Hazzard alright, but even plumbers don't start to work by hidin' in the bushes." The plumbers break into Boss Hogg's Boars Nest, and start cleaning out his silver. Waylon Jennings:"Uh huh. See?"
  11. Season 1. Episodes 7 and 8. Episode 7: The Sound of Quacking". Airdate: November 7,1964. Episode 8 : " Goodbye Island ". Airdate: November 21,1964. Both of these are fun to watch. Episode 7 features the first ever "dream sequences " which the cast would look forward to doing as their favorite part of the show in future episodes. Episode 8 is apparently out of sequence as it features scenes from the original Hawaii filming. All in all 2 fun episodes.
  12. I like green too. The long green... Money that is.

  17. The Dillards(The Darling boys) Dooley was a good ole man He lived below the mill Dooley had two daughters And a forty-gallon still One gal watched the boiler The other watched the spout And mama corked the bottles And ole Dooley fetched 'em out. Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley try to make a dollar Dooley give me a swaller And I'll pay you back someday. The revenuers came for him A-sippin' though the woods Dooley kept behind them all And never lost his goods Dooley was a trader When into town he'd come Sugar by the bushel And molasses by the ton. Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley try to make a dollar Dooley gimme a swaller And I'l pay you back someday. I remember very well The day ole Dooley died The women folk weren't sorry And the men stood round and cried Now Dooleys on the mountain He lies there all alone They put a jug beside him And a barrel for his stone. Dooley slippin' up the holler Dooley try to make a dollar Dooley gimme a swaller And I'll pay you back someday.
