Being both an ex RAN man and an Aussie he did so enjoy going on a bender (especially those of the multi day variety). Damn. Sorry 'bout that mate. I'll always toast a digger, but I'll make it a special toast for your Granddad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Originally posted by Yeknodathon: It's the tight flamenca pants, isn't it? No, actually the large ears protruding through your flamenca hat are the most disturbing. How do you work the castanets by the way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juan_gigante Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well, now wait a minute. I can understand assualts upon my character. That is to be expected in a place such as this. But you dare insult Frank Sinatra? C'mon, the man was only the greatest entertainer of all time! Not only did he reinvent the concept of the pop song while he made his records for Capitol, also managed to achieve populararity while singing "old-fashioned" tunes in an "old-fashioned" style. Furthermore, he went on to produce many very good movies. From "On The Town" and "Anchors Aweigh", both incredible musicals with Gene Kelly, to dramatic roles like "From Here To Eternity" and "The Manchurian Candidate", he proved time and again his depth and breadth of acting. And lastly, he was one of the first celebrities to use his fame for a good cause. During McCarthyism and again during the civil rights movement, he made public service annoucements about how bad racism was and how everyone is good, no matter the color of their skin. In fact, after Sammy Davis Jr. was blackballed for marrying a white woman, it was Frank who convinced producers, club owners, and booking agents to let him work again. He was a great man, and most of those who snidely deride him have merely never experienced his work. So, if you want to insult me, feel free, but I shall brook no more cheap shots at Frank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juan_gigante Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Whether or not Frank had any concrete ties to the Mafia is still up in the air. It has never been proven or disproven. Yeah, he knew some mobsters, but no one (except for those involved) know whether (as some allege) they helped his rise into show business. And isn't pretty much every Italian in the Mafia? I recommend that people read "Why Sinatra Matters" by Pete Hamill. Don't worry, it's short, and I'll bet it's in your local public library. It's a fun quick little read. Joe, I added paragraphs just for you. Ain't I good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeknodathon Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 "And now, the end is here And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and ev'ry highway And more, much more than this, I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this, I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way, "Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way" For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows and did it my way! Yes, it was my way" *snort* sounds better... feckin' useless claptrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'd like to point out that even if I wasn't 100% on paragraphs, I use punctuation, which is more than anyone can say for Yeknodathon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeknodathon Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I suppose I shall have to think about whether something with concrete ties can be still up in the air... or at the bottom of a lake? It is all just so very, very... metaphysical. Never liked legwarmers or Olivier Newton John. Strumpet. Mafia would have been too good, I say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 So, Yeknodathon, do you know what they put in the water where you live? Because that last post made so little sense.

Good point, not ALL those who ended up at the bottom of the East River were necessarily in concrete overshoes, some may have been "dressed" by the more fashion conscious who used concrete smoking robes with matching ties.
