I ran across a link today that the older, mature gentlemen (spelled Geezer) may find very interesting. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.objflicks.com">http://www.objflicks.com</a><!-- m -->

Thanks for that link, Lynn. Yeah, I'm not embarrassed to admit that I looked, although I was expecting to see some swell dames, mebbe flashin' their classy gams.
Still interesting, though.

I must be really old at heart as I really liked that site. A lot of stuff in there that's right on.

Interesting site.
I had to grab my walker and get the old lady so we could "reminisce" together.
I would of looked at more but I can't find my reading glasses.

I'm glad most of you enjoy it. I have watched several, but I still have a few to go. The "Pledge of Allegiance" by Red Skelton, and Audie Murphy are my favorites so far.

Red Skelton's piece should be mandatory viewing for all kids. And if you ever can find it...listen to John Wayne's version too. Great stuff.

Red Skelton was one of my favorite comics. Together with Jack Benny. Those guys could make you laugh by lifting an eyebrow....Nowadays they need a whole collection of obscenities and ethnic slurs to get a rise out of people. Sad....
(Just to clarify....I've seen re-runs of their programs....As I mentioned before, not an old geezer, so I didn't catch them "live"...
