The Chiffboard just gave me this error:
I’m sorry for the internal error and the pain it must have caused Mr Bill, but i can’t think of anything i might have done that may have cause the error. Maybe it was the junk food i ate yesterday? Or did i start too many OT threads? How can i find out?

[high squeaky voice] OH NO, MR. BILL!! [/end high squeaky voice]
…beat me to it. 
LOL!!!
On behalf of all of us on this side of the pond…Who is Mr.Bill ???
Slan,
D.
Mr. Bill was a little clay figure on the original Saturday Night Live - back in the late 1970’s. He often suffered a horrible demise during the skit.

Ah..We see.
Thanks for clearing that one up.
Slan,
D.
Yes, but actually, he ALWAYS suffered a violent and grisly demise (as can only be depicted by claymation (…uh…sort of) on the original SNL. Man that does bring the memories flooding back! MIssy, were you there too?..the 70’s, that is.
Ah, the 70’s…,
“Those were the days my friends…”
'though in my case it was more of a Daze…,
Slan,
D.
ecce homo
Yes, that’s the bloke!
unfortunately, Joseph, I cannot say that “grandpa told me in a bar” - yes, I was around then (graduated from high school in '76).
My kids are found of telling me I’m older than dirt.
As to SNL -
“no Coke, Pepsi”
“Samari -insert whatever -”
Knock Knock - who’s there - Candy gram - Land shark
And the immortal:
“We must consume mass quantities!”

“Jane you ignorant slut”
this has got nothing to do with thread, surprise surprise, but i think this triumph on conan o brien is one of the funniest things.
oh for heaven’s sake, amar. I do wish you would at least TRY to stay on topic. :roll: I wouldn’t dream of going off topic like you do
Let us not forget the “Dead String Quartet”. You are older than me…but not by much.
“parental units”
“France . . . we are from France”
It’s surprising how much these phrases have been incorporated into the language. At my day job, it’s not unusual for someone who doesn’t have what you need (we have had some truly spectacular “supply issues” going on for the last year) to plop down some unacceptable substitute, saying “No Coke, Pepsi!”
“But this is 0.5 mm lead. I need 0.7.”
“No Coke, Pepsi!”
“It won’t fit in my pencil. My pencil is a 0.7.”
“No Coke! Pepsi!”
“But I can’t use this! Well, then do you have a 0.5 mm pencil?”
“NO COKE! PEPSI!”
At which point, you begin to see the wisdom of just taking that pack of 0.5 mm leads and being grateful for them.
well… “it’s always something”
-Perhaps Mr. Bill inspired the Gingy character in the Shrek movies. They have similar voices and facial features and met similar mangled or dismembered fates.
-Cheerfully,
Not the gumdrop buttons!
