Subj : More Various Things To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Jun 22 2021 08:08:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Sometimes one gets what one gets.... DS> WYSIWYG?? BM> Only if done full screen. :) DS> In this case, size DOES matter...not sure about resolution. :P BM> If it's too coarse it's not good! DS> When the inventor of the girdle asked the woman trying it on, DS> he asked her if it fit. She replied "Of corset does". That one doesn't work for a girdle! BM> 'Obviously' a lot of other places getting and sending materials by BM> train. DS> And, some commodities can only go by rail. BM> Like hobos? If they go via highways and roads they're hitchhikers! DS> The Railroad Police are on the lookout for these folks. If the hobos flatten themselves again the side of the railcar they can'tbe seen! DS> In the 1987 movie "End Of The Line", there was a hobo there. In DS> one of the opening scenes, he's laying on the track of a siding, DS> and the brakeman sees him there...but there's a train rolling DS> toward him. The hobo has a big bottle of whiskey with him, and DS> he's swigging, drunk as a coot, unaware the train is approaching. DS> The late Wilford Brimley was the brakeman (Will Haney), and the DS> late Howard Morris was the hobo. We like to occasionally watch some old-old shows on TV and 'catch' now- famous actors in bit parts, when they were first starting out. DS> Anyway, as the hobo got removed (just in time), the exchange DS> went like this: DS> Brakeman: You damn fool!! DS> Hobo: What happened?? What happened?? DS> Brakeman: You pretty near bought the farm, you drunken old DS> S.O.B.!! Hobo: The hell I did (raucous laugher) DS> Brakeman: You lay out around those railroad tracks, and you'll DS> have no legs, by golly!! DS> Hobo: Well, at least I would have a matched set!! (laughter) "By golly!" -- that's a discarded expression! DS> At the time the film was being made in central Arkansas and in DS> Chicago, my workplace (silkscreen printing) printed most of the DS> items (signs, decals, the big checks, etc.) used in the movie. DS> So, I indirectly had a part in the movie...an "extra extra". Neat background! DS> ... Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? BM> How else would we derive 'abbrv."? DS> ABRV . And even left out the period! BM> ... CELIBATE - What an Italian fishing lure salesman does. DS> He just does it for the halibut, so he isn't floundering in DS> debt. You were lured into that, hook, line and sinker! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
