The GRAMMYS, a Lifetime Achievement Tribute, and...The Beatles?

[sleepy]

No no. Ringo was good.

Hey, I love this, but be warned. I love sundry surrealism.
This is mostly about the accordion piece. I could loop it all day when I'm stuck in the city.

HA! What a shitty movie! That first shot of George and John, they look like they're being forced to visit their grandparents! But you're right about that accordion track. It's like listening to The Third Man theme and having it hypnotize you (the following is for all you younguns who don't know the Third Man theme. Old farts like Sleepy already know it).

The Third Man - Anton Karas - YouTube

Yep. de-de-de...de-de-de-de.

That accordion piece seems to be teasing the intro/seg for "Lovely Rita" and the final notes are the same as for "Hide Your Love Away".

At least that Beatles short looks good, sharp and well preserved. Who is the guy with the hat and dark rim glasses @ the 2 minute mark? . George Martin? The "Third Man" tune...Don't much hear that anymore. Now I can call the local request line and ask for it by name! Attached >40 more great un-claimed melodies.

I kept hearing/thinking/wishing it would develop into "Fool On The Hill"...

Why are PN posts suddenly going to my e-mail inbox. Did I hit some switch somewhere?

 

[sleepy]

Would that be the "Notify me when there are replies to my posts" option, or something like that?

 

[sleepy]

No, that's not George Martin. This is George Martin, but please ignore the other pics on this link for the bearded "George R.R. Martin" sci-fi author and creator of the tv show, "Game of Thrones".

In my User control panel if found>
<fieldset class="fieldset"><legend><label for="sel_autosubscribe">Default Thread Subscription Mode</label></legend> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread.</td></tr><tr><td> <label for="sel_autosubscribe">Default Thread Subscription Mode:</label>INSTANT NOTIFICATION
</td></tr></tbody></table></fieldset>I just switched that option to:NO EMAIL NOTIFICATION
I'll see if that stops the E-mails.

How/why that option decided to start working is a mystery. It is on by default. I started getting these notifications Jan. 27. I don't understand what 'Subscribed Threads" actually means.

Under EDIT OPTIONS I found SKINS for this forum! "Wood" and "Dark". Wood looks good. "Chick-a-Ball" is sitting on an Autumn Leafy Hillside.

HQ Experience Here @ PN

Hey I switched to "Dark" forum skin and liking it much. PN DeLux. "Wood' was hard on the eyes...." PN " the forum with "All The Bells And Whistles". Actually with about 2 feet of snow and more coming there is not much else to do....C_S

 

[LeeVanCleef]

I'm a wood-paneling guy myself, being a child of the '70s. Yep, half-foot of snow here... just enough to screw up a day.

 

[sleepy]

I was using "Dark" for the same reason. Very easy on the eyes, though my favorite easy-on-the-eyes would be a dark background with creme beige-white text.

I watched parts of a particular film just the other day, which is where the first image attachment is from.

And then today I saw a picture of The Beatles Runaway, the girl,
which is from where the second image attachment is from.

This is her story:

http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/music-news/true-story-beatles-runaway-223417792.html

Does she look like the other one?
Should I change my drinking water?

Bonus points if you can name the film that the first attachment is from. :)

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

no bonus pts for me, but is this the thread in which the oscars were talked about? i just saw this pic...

 

[GSGregg]

Bring this to the attention of anybody who thinks PINBALL is a waste of time.....


By the way; I meant the Oscars, and not the wonderful art of balloon-twisting :D

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

gregg, you are a nice guy, but i'm not here to promote your sandbox activities.


not to mention, what would your wife say...?

 

[GSGregg]

...what would your wife say...?

Probably something rude and inconsiderate like, "Oh God, not again!"

(She's been my Ek-swife for thirty-seven years.....so much for the sandbox.)

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

no!!

 

[GSGregg]

"Hurry it up, Doc.....and don't forget the catheter this time!"

 

[sleepy]

Definitely, definitely. Change the drinking water!

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

so what is life like at your new home on pitcairn island, mssr sleepy?

maybe you can turn up captain kidd’s treasure with your trusty metal detector, eh?

 

[sleepy]

Oh gosh Ike. It's only a dream!

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

what keeps us going, eh? :)
