    JM>   I really like Jolson.  He has a bad rep now (blackface and all that)   
    JM> but he was a major player in the day.   
      
     There is a scene from "Silver Streak", where Grover T. Muldoon (Richard   
   Pryor) is putting brown shoe polish on George Caldwell (Gene Wilder) to    
   make him look like a black man, so they can get him on the train (George   
   Caldwell is falsely wanted for murder).   
      
     In the exchange, Muldoon said "Are you afraid it won't come off??"...and    
   Caldwell replied "This is crazy!! It'll never work!!". To which, Muldoon   
   has him look in the mirror, and said "Al Jolson made a million bucks looking    
   like that!!".   
      
     As they were heading toward the police checkpoint (Caldwell was told the    
   cops were from Travelers Aid ), Caldwell says "I don't think we'll make    
   it past the cops", and Muldoon replies "We'll make it past the cops. I just    
   hope we don't see no Muslims". :P Bear in mind this was filmed in the mid    
   1970's.   
      
    JM>   Of course you know the story of how Eskimo's judge a cold night?   
    JM>   A regular cold night is a one dog night.  A colder night is a two dog   
    JM> night.  A really cold night is a three dog night.   
      
     Plus, they get Polaroids if they sit on the ice too long.    
      
    JM>   I have a lot of old LP's in the closet.   
    JM>   For some years I had no record player.   
      
     I have several books from the late Clive Cussler (my late Mom loved his   
   books, and we went to several of their society conventions before she died   
   just over 2 years ago)...and I also have a large amount of vinyl LP records.   
   Unfortunately, I don't have the means to ship them (financially or    
   otherwise), and am afraid to put an ad out...as some scumbag might show up   
   and kill me, then ransack the place.   
      
    JM> fond of the '20s, '30s and '40s.   
      
     I listen to classical music (Brahams, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin,    
   Rachmaninoff, Tchaikowsky, etc.), as well as Big Band and Swing. Years   
   ago at work, an employee heard me listening to the OLD music, and he   
   asked me if I was trying to get old before my time. I replied "You're   
   d@mn right I am!!". My late wife lamented with the "music" (I use the    
   term loosely) they have nowadays, that "If that's music, we're doomed".

   ... What you think of me is none of my business.
