What a coincidence! Out of the blue yesterday (I first read this question only today) I remembered and researched this.
While conversing with a classmate in history class way back in 1975 I saw this written on ... something he had ...
"By bom by ob nom komehe suck a poke a muck muck"
.. or something similar. I just remember how I pronounced it.
He had no idea what it meant and thought it was Korean.
Yesterday I found some variance of it that translated to Russian.

Impressive!

Southgate in North London? That's near where I grew up.

It's isn't ain't it.
It's ain't, isn't it!

my Nana taught me that from
teachers loved it!!! South Gate London, England.

Not one scratch or dent No one was allowed to drive “Him”.

Haha

Now that reminds me of the one.....
ooey gooey was a worm, a mighty worm was he
He sat abound the railroad track, a train he did not see
ooooooey gooeyyyy

I don't know why I still remember this poem but there is stuck in my head

A peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a-flutter
The five-fifteen came rushing by
Toot! toot! peanut butter!

Hey We need you on the mental ward board. It's much more fun to post this over there.

ROY G BIV

There are exactly 231 cubic inches in a gallon.

Extra Fine

It has to be my regimental number from when I was in the South African Army. My last contact with them was about forty years ago.

I hope the brandy didn't result in too many dents & scratches. 😬

The original name of Astro from The Jetsons....

Imperial units. Thank Google I don't have to remember that an Inch is 2.54 centimetres, a Foot 30.48, a Mile... Good. This one managed to go away.

Since we're on an address bent - my neighbors were moving to Japan and I was popping off all these phrases I remembered from living in Okinawa (Air Force brat). There was one I didn't know what it was so I spoke it into Google Translate and it turned out to be my address on Kadena AFB from 1968.

The phone number and jingle for Best Western hotels. I don't know if the number is still valid, and I don't even think I've stayed at one, but music can make anything stick in your brain! 1-800-528-1234...Best Western!

The address of the home I grew up in. Long been owned by another family.

A brandy new F-150 from my dear husband.

Cows are awesome beautiful animal ❤️

When I was just a kid, my mom gave me a calf on Christmas so I could join 4H. I have been into cows ever since.

ZOUNDS!!!
What condition?

a 1909S VDB penny.

can't think of any, so obviously it wasn't memorable

In 1973 I took a vacation to Mexico City with several classmates and our Spanish Teacher. We spent a week there and visited the Pyramids at Teotihuacan (ate at "La Gruta" under the Sun Pyramid), Cuernavaca, the open market at Toluca, the San Juan Market in Mexico City, Metropolitan Cathedral (quite expected of all us Catholics), Chapultepec Park, visited the "Pink District" at night, used the Paseo de la Reforma as a marker (no one got lost), and came home with Christmas presents for all my family members.
Furthermore when I got home under the tree was a copy of "Tales from Topographic Oceans" by Yes.

Gomer Pyle

Peirce Brosman should never play Bond again.

Jeez, I can't watch that guy!

No contest.......DON KNOTTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rowan Atkinson does a pretty good job as Johnny English

Actually he would make a hilarious James Bond. We would laugh through the entire film.

IMO, this list could include all but a handful of actors. Maybe the next question for this BB could be, "Who would be the best actor to play James Bond?"

you can't retire James Bond, even though he's now dead

Nobody after Sean Connery, poor old James Bond should have retired!

It might have to be Jane Bond then

Richard Simmons

hoof hearted I was about to post "Bobcat Goldthwait" as well.

don't forget "Elf ", never subjected by self to it but the previews were enough Not to watch it

I once rented Star Trek V. When I realized they were searching for "God" the DVD was ejected and I took a shower.
I thought STtMP was a 4 hour movie...
I enjoyed the culture shock of ST IV quite a bit. "Did you see that?" "No, and neither did you so shut up!" "I didn't see nothin'."

rotten tomatoes give that 52%, their worst is Star Trek V: The Final Frontier which gets 23%
I tend to agree with them

One film that springs to mind is "Star Trek - the Motion Picture". I was a big fan of the series, the original one with Kirk and Spock. Then they made a movie. I sat through the 3 hours of boredom, I couldn't get myself to leave. That would have felt like treason.

I quote one user review I found on IMDB.com which I consider a perfect description:

This film is bursting with action scenes! The scene where Kirk stares at the Enterprise, the scene where Scotty stares at the Enterprise, the scene where Bones stares at the Enterprise. The scene where the Enterprise is being stared at by Kirk is also a highlight. The scene where the Enterprise is being stared at by Scotty. The scene where the Enterprise is being stared at by Bones is another great one. The scene where they are ALL staring at the Enterprise at the same time is one of my favourites. The scene where the Enterprise is being stared at by ALL of them at the same time is even better.

I love this movie! It's long. I took a girlfriend to see it and by the time it was over I had not only kissed her but we had had three children and a holiday in Greece.

I liked warm bodies
I watched a couple of terrible movies recently but I'm struggling to remember their names or what they were about

Bram Stoker's Dracula - the only movie I've heckled.

I don't sit thru bad movies , because I don't tune into them . But if you want to talk worst Television shows it would be hands down Alfred Hitchcock, there was never an ending you were left hanging

The Honeymooners (2005)

.
There are so many.... and my favorite (as with anything) changes with time.
But I think that right now it would have to be Dirt Cheap by Cody Johnson.

I really enjoyed Jim Croce’s ballads. He left us way too soon.

Warm bodies

DICK the BRUTSER

I was always more attracted to her character than Ginger.

My girlfriend and I were seated outside the security office while my best friend was filling out a police report at The Richville Colosseum in 1976. We were a few feet away from the limo and saw Chris Squire (bass, vocals) and Patrick Moraz (keyboards) of YES get in. I should have at least stood up and said "Howdy!" and maybe asked for an autograph but I melted instead.
In the early 2000s I was a poll worker and recognized Joe Vitale (professional drummer) at another table. I couldn't say anything because of the need for anonymity.
I met Tom Monaghan (the original owner of Domino's Pizza) and several drivers at a CART race in 1982. The only driver I can remember meeting is Howdy Holmes who was driving the Domino's Pizza car.

Ken Rosewall, Jeanie C. Reilly. Fats Domino, Lisa Minelli, others.

Eli Creek, the largest creek on the eastern beach of K’gari (formerly Fraser Island), pours up to four million litres of clear, fresh water into the ocean every hour. Eli Creek is a popular picnic and swimming spot, with a boardwalk that follows the creek inland through banksia and pandanus. Swimming or floating down the swiftly flowing creek from the bridge at the far end of the boardwalk is an invigorating experience. A Litre is a Quarter of a Gallon.

They have said they don't care about the lack of values, ethics, morals, or accountability in their leaders. That's what they have said.

AMEN Finally our Nation will be GREAT AGAIN..

Or certain books the left-wing is trying to ban too. Frankly, any book that is banned..

Any book that certain right wing organizations are trying to ban.

I was particularly fascinated by the examples of Elven script and matching the sounds of the spoken words to the alphabet he invented. I'd say he was certainly very into it!

Just goes to show that sometimes we can be pushed into better things.

Possibly, I didn't get far enough into it to tell.
I thought his son took the note and tried to complete the book with them.

Wikipedia sums it up here

The Silmarillion is a book consisting of a collection of myths[a][T 1] and stories in varying styles by the English writer J. R. R. Tolkien. It was edited, partly written, and published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien in 1977, assisted by Guy Gavriel Kay, who became a fantasy author. It tells of Eä, a fictional universe that includes the Blessed Realm of Valinor, the ill-fated region of Beleriand, the island of Númenor, and the continent of Middle-earth, where Tolkien's most popular works—The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings—are set. After the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien's publisher, Stanley Unwin, requested a sequel, and Tolkien offered a draft of the writings that would later become The Silmarillion. Unwin rejected this proposal, calling the draft obscure and "too Celtic", so Tolkien began working on a new story that eventually became The Lord of the Rings.

I would do the same thing I do every day. Try to take over the world.

{ Image: //triviahappy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/brainpinky.jpg }

I understood the Silmarion was really notes and vignettes for background. If you watch the rings of power on Prime I think they use it to write some of the show's narrative. NOt the same kind of read I agree/

I tried The Silmarillion too, but just couldn't get into it. Completely different writing style to his father

All three books! Then you;ll have to read the Hobbit!

yep looks like you went the wrong way, but the edge colours could be more obvious

I don't play the game, but I saw this in the rules:

The goal is for the Black pieces to connect the two Black edges (left to right), and for the White pieces to connect the White edges (top to bottom).

Looks like you went top to bottom.

Milk looks a bit strange when frozen, it goes yellow, but it returns to normal when thawed.
We always used to keep a 2-pinter in the freezer for emergencies when the kids were younger

My spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce would go bad all the time but now I freeze what I don't use right away. I also freeze bread, cheese cooked rice and home made soups. No more wasted or spoiled food.

I freeze bread and huge shredded cheese pillows so they last. I never thought to do it to milk for some reason.

Great idea

I do the same with cream, as I only occasionally use it in cooking. I put it in a quite large flat plastic container, so I'm able to chop off what I need

Put it into smaller containers and freeze it down, then just get out what you need.
I do that with butter here, as you can only buy it by the kilo. It's blended butter and whatever they use to blend it with starts to form a black mould after about a week.

Milk here as well....do not drink it but use it in other foods so it does not always get used before it goes bad.

I try not to throw anything out

Milk for me too. I made pancakes today with some powdered milk and some half & half labeled December 04 that poured out in chunks. I think that our lawmakers recently eased up on expiration date requirements for the dairy industry. I had to throw out some colorful French Onion Dip last week as well. I mostly use powdered milk anymore.

It was such a relief when a game I had with Diddly came up and he had made a move this evening! So glad to have you both back with us!

❤️❤️

Hello everyone. Thank you all for your concern. Our town got hit by Hurricane Helene on Thursday night and we lost power at 1am Friday morning September 27th and we finally got it back this evening, October 5th. We had a couple of trees down but we are both ok. Towns near us got it a lot worse. Still help needed, please Pray. But we both thank all of you for your kindness and concern.

so glad they're are safe

Thank god they are alive!!

Got this from Susie now.

Not really. We got hit hard by Hurricane Helene. We haven't had Power or Phone or Internet for 9; days. If you can, please let the site know.

Thank you! I posted it on the wiki, and quietman was kind enough to check that I did it correctly.

I Hope They Are Ok

Diddly and Susie are from Marion NC his Last Play- 26 September 2024 , The hurricane left us in Florida and hit many other northern states with loss of power.

Praying hey are safe ♥️♥️

I know God was with us .seen all the damage and we were right there .dealing with trees and electric poles thank u 4 carin

Thankful you are all safe! I know a lot of them were not so fortunate.😥 I know the clean up will be on going for a long time.

I'll try and text Susie but now I believe will be too late.. Hope that they are safe..

Has anyone heard from Diddly or Susie? I read where a levee was breeched and their town was flooded.

It depends on the game. For Grabble and its variants, you can post your request on the [ Questionable Grabble Words ] wiki. For CrossDowns and its variants, you can send a PM to marcmandy.

Looking forward to seeing that.
I think the latest Ghostbusters was probably my favourite. I was rather disappointed that there haven't been many great movies this and I've struggled to find something to watch on my long haul flights

I only saw one. "Inside Out 2" with my daughter and her main man.

There's been so many, most have turned into trauma's that still effect me, most when i was around 4yrs old to 10yrs, asthma attack when i was 4 thought for sure i was gonna die, needles i can't even look at one, when i have to blood test i wear a mask ask the nurse to just speak to me while doing, don't tell me your sticking in. Growing up and going to Catholic school and being treated as somebody stupid if i got a wrong answer, ruler across the knuckles, stand in a conner with sometimes a hat, seeing a few badly injuries, kinda hard to understand when you witness people hurt and seeing blood all over, i guess that's enough sorry if i upset anybody not my intention

Politician's promises

So sorry, I know what that is like.

Nancy I sure dont want you to think we have not been missed, we have, you run some great clubs and your missed. You did come in on July 25th and tell us of your husbands passing and there was a great out pouring of concern and compassion. Just click on this --> Husband died and you will see....YOU Were missed and still are, hope you are planning on coming back.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know you were gone because I don't often play you but I am sorry you were gone for such a sad reason.

Sorry for your loss

so sorry for your loss..

Very sorry for your loss

for you loss.

So sorry ❤️❤️

Sorry For Your Loss Nancy Welcome back

My husband of 26 yrs died unexpectly on 7/21.

Common sense..

Neither did I, I just looked at wikipedia. A nasty habit, I know, and far from dependable.Any info you get there needs to be verified.

Ha! I've never heard of Cobra, but it's comforting to know it existed.

Yes, this is what I was actually reading about all that time. We were a Microsoft shop, so we used DCOM instead of Corba, but the Corba books explained the concepts better for me.

Or maybe this
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Object_Request_Broker_Architecture

Intresting. Try https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_(programming_language) . Is that it? If so you are back in the right (well, familiar) universe.

Years ago I devoured books in the bookstore about a technology called "Cobra", a distributed object model in computer programming. I researched it heavily. Cobra, Cobra, Cobra.

One day I saw a computer book about "Corba", the same technology. I wondered how this book got to print with such a blatant typo.

So I looked at all the "Cobra" books I was already familiar with. They all now said "Corba".

I considered that maybe I was now in an alternate universe where everything was exactly the same, except for this Cobra/Corba anomaly.

I'm with you up to the Easter bunny. As for the latter ones (not UFOs) I've never thought they were plausible even as a kid.
Still undecided about UFOs, there are a few that defy what we know is possible

Thunder storms and tornados

women ---------

I remember thinking that Santa was real. The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, God, Satan, Angels, UFOs, (sorry Jools), luck (as a cause), soothsayers, E.S.P.,Heaven, Purgatory and Hell as well.

Santa doesn't exist??!!

Santa Claus!

I had the same experience. I used to climb in my sisters bed during storms. Now I can’t sleep at night if we are in a tornado watch.

Back when i was a kid this wasn't an issue but i didn't know it would be as an adult But truth is I have always feared being shot while in a car!

Growing old and here I am killing it....

Storms and tornadoes. Had one at our place when I was 3 and am still afraid when they happen, especially when it's night!

I personally can't think of any either.
What comes to mind, however is a recurrent nightmare I had as a child. As I climb a slide I notice that a thick orange liquid is waiting to drown me at the bottom and now engulfs the lower part of the ladder. The older lady that lived next door is hurrying me as I become more aware of what awaits me. I don't remember the last time this nightmare visited me.

Somehow I invented an 80's pop star. I was sure that Eugene Phillips had released the 80's dance tune We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off. It was until sometime around 2010 I discovered there is no such person as Eugene Phillips. I have no idea where I got the concept from.

It probably will be before long, the connection isn't much above sea level

Well I for one thought that Gibraltar was an island, but its not

heck of a place to choose for a vacation... lol try the Caribean next time. lol get well and better soon

Yes I Rember Nice To See you Are Still Here

Well that's not good either but a whole lot better than an infection!

GREAT!!!!!!

Thank you ALL!!!!. It turns out it's not an infection, which is a good thing at the moment.. It seems I've got 2 double herniated disks that have been causing me a great deal of pain.. Need to see a specialist to map out what will happen in the near future.

I'm also back home in reality and also back here at my second home called GOLDTOKEN..

I have been here 18 years and you were one of the first players that I played and you helped me a lot. Thanks for that and glad your still here.

To healthy blood!

Get Well Soon !!!!
