I couldn’t care less how cornball that was. All sublime things are sorta lame, aren’t they?
Hollywood’s sorta lost this knack. Occasionally we watch a DVD, and the mildly out-of-date coming attractions show a drunk and a hooker self destructing in a seedy motel room in Vegas while the voice over intones sonorously:
It’s the love story of our times…
My wife and I burst out laughing every time. Good luck kids. No matter what, though, don’t end up like my wife and I; what a hopeless square everyone will think you are. Behind your back, they’ll even tell your friends you probably like the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose.

Happy Anniversary, G & G!
Well, you took a shot. I applaud people that take a shot.
Off by months, though. It’s like this every day at the Cottage. It’s sad, I know.
aside: there’s a 3 Stooges short I adore. They’re census takers. Moe goes up to a door and rings the bell. A man answers.
Moe: “Are you happy, or married?”
A dish is flung from inside the house. The man ducks, without looking, and the dish breaks in Moe’s face.
Moe takes out pen, makes a mark on his pad, and says:
“Married.”
Well, certainly it’s the anniversary of something in the swamp.
Btw: love, love, love, love, love Clark Gable.
Being square has worked out well here for many years. Barbara is one of my favorites. Tough lady too.

Nice post, I think I made my personal view on Barbara Stanwyck quite clear between putting her on this list twice, and this other list once.
Barbara Stanwyck was a babe.
Ruth Anne- In a way, the picture of Gable in there with his real wife made me a little melancholy. She bought it in a plane crash and he never got over it. I always think of that when I see him as a young man.
But hell, they’re all mostly dead now, ain’t they?
Sipp-
The short you mentioned is titled, “No Census, No Feeling.”
An apt moniker if I say so.
Thanks, Wolf.
