Gravy and out of state?
#109 re “Can You Dig It” - 5th Dimension.
Most of us do try to be useful for all the work we make you do.
Truth is, we'd be lost without you.
I come from the day when my mother would actually physically wash my mouth out with soap if I ever even thought something like that, let alone ever said it.
The best Pryor routine was when he went to the Arizona State Penitentiary, all naïve about why black men were in prison, then afterwards said, “Thank God We Got Penitentiaries!”
I know.
Palmolive or Lifebuoy?
I would call everybody at work Good Buddy every 4th of October until I retired in 2015. Most of them wouldn't get it, I would explain to them that 10/4 is national Good Buddy Day and they still wouldn't get it. Hey, if we can have Sep 19th as National Talk Like a Pirate Day, why can't we have a National Good Buddy Day?
Solid man. I’m down with it.
OMG, that man was so funny. I truly laughed out loud reading that ;-)
He’s right about prison population in Arizona. LOL
And then Gene Wilder would try to take to the prisoners, “Hi guys, how ya doin?”
I said “Gene, get your ass over here.”
Gene said, “What do you think they’d do to us, Rich?”
I said, “F___ us!”
Gene said, “But I’m not homosexual!”
I said, “Homosexual ain’t got nothing to do with it, they don’t do it because you like it.....They do it just to see that look on your face.”
My mom always bought the green zest soap. I absolutely cringe now when I see in the store.
As soon as I was on my own I switched to white Dove.
I remember when we had CB radios. My parents had one with the loud speaker hooked up to the bottom of the car. We would drive around and yell “hey” to people walking on the street. They would look around like they were crazy because they thought they were hearing things. LOL
Belonged to a club where we travelled a lot up and down the state attending events in caravans. Great way to talk to people in the other vehicles along the way on the trip.
I remember the song Convoy being #1 on the radio for like 6 mos. one year. I hated that song!
"SPACE CADET" is from at least the late '40s- early '50s and refers to someone not all there.
"KEEP ON TRUCKIN'" is from the late '30s.
"SKINNY" was in use in the '50s; ditto "OUT TO LUNCH", which was often just said as "OTL".
"BRICK HOUSE" is a shortened version of "BUILT LIKE A BRICK S**T HOUSE"...which referred to an extreme well proportioned female and though I don't know how far back that saying goes back to at least the early '50s and most probably it is older than that.
"BOOGIE DOWN" ( which I heard said as "BOOGIE ON DOWN" in the late 1940s ) comes from the term for a type of music known as BOOGIE WOOGIE, which began in the late 1800s, became mainstream and very popular in the late 1920s and stayed popular through the 1940s.
Oh...and “SPAZ” was also used in the late 1950s as well.
“Hi there groovy guys, groovy girls, peace, love, dove, incense, light shows, crashpads, Hare Krishna, and power to the people, groovy, right on and solid.” - Wink Dinkerson from KRUD Radio
“Ha! She called him a space cadet _and_a spaz? Total burn!”
“Yeah! Then he was, like, ‘I know you are. But what am I? Times infnity!’”

Above is an appearance by Nixon speaking at the Executive’s Club in Chicago. Sounds about a year after the Watergate break in.
He doesn’t give a speech! Just answers people’s questions for an hour. Several questions touch on Watergate.
