Funny, I was just talking to a friend yesterday about this topic and I forget what brought it up, but I was trying to think of what follows "Old as ......" meaning really, really old. We finally decided on "Old As Dirt. And that IS old.

However, I think the Beach Party movies with Frankie and Annette when the movies were still in the theaters, do it for me.

You must be up there. I remember the outbreak of World War II. I also remember the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Thanks for your post. When I tell people that I can remember that far back they tell me it can't be accurate and that I must have read it in a history book.

To me anyone that can't remember details about high school are liars.

We all paid good money at the carnival to see Sally Rand do her feathers dance.

But like all things at carnivals, suckers are born every minute.

They announced that Sally Rand had a cold so a stand in took over.

She seemed to be younger and we didn't ask for our money back.
