Toshiro Mifune was my favorite actor. - wyntrout

That being the case, I'll bet you've seen "Hell in the Pacific" (1968; John Boorman, Dir.) with Mifune and Lee Marvin being the entire cast. I saw it when it was first released. I was an undergrad at UT-Austin. The movie blew what was left of my mind (which wasn't much, having already been at UT for two years in the late 1960s) - especially the ending.

Buffalo theory. Alcohol is good!!!

Buffalo theory. Alcohol is good!!!
One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his
buddy, Norm. "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can
only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it
is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This
natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed
and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know,
kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker
brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine ! That's
why you always feel smarter after a few beers............

That was a great movie and in 1971 there was Red Sun with Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067770/

It was a great blend of Western and Samurai/Ronin culture in our Wild West.

Farmer's Daughters Dates

There was this farmer that was really protective of his three daughters. In fact, he always met their boyfriends at the door with a shotgun.

At 5:30 Friday night, there was a knock at the door. The farmer answered it with his gun. The guy at the door said, "Hello, my name is Eddie, I'm here for Bettie, we're going for spaghetti. Is she ready?".

The farmer paused, then said "Ok, she's ready" .

Another half hour passed and there was another knock. The farmer answered it with his gun again. The guy at the door said" Hello, my name is Joe, I'm here for Flo, we're going to the show. She ready to go?".

The farmer paused again and said "yeah, she's ready".

A half hour later, there was another knock. The farmer went to the door with his shotgun. The guy at the door said "Hello, my name is Chuck..... " and the farmer shot him.

New Windows
Last year, I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kind. But this week, I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work had been completed a whole year and I had yet to pay for them. Boy, oh boy, did we go around! Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast-talking sales guy had told me last year. He said that in one year, the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other end of the line, so I just hung up, and he hasn't called back. Guess he was embarrassed.

to make us forget about women?"

Willie and Joe.... weren't they a creation of Bill Mauldin - war correspondent and cartoonist - during WWII???

I was given a copy of one of his hard cover books back in the early 60's and absolutely loved every page of it. I think I loaned it to an older gent WWII vet) that I worked for/with in the late 70's and never got it back.

Willie and Joe were two of my childhood "heros"
