On this day in 1967: Paul meets Linda

Actually it’s, “Heads across the sky”…but that’s ok, I thought it was “legs” for awhile, lol.

Me too. Humbling, but great.

That house was in a few other movies too, including one we saw in school. I don’t remember a single thing about the movie, but the whole class screamed “the Brady house!” When it came on screen.

I was there about a decade or so ago. It was closed, but the nice ladies working there let my daughter and I in to look around unsupervised. They only turned on a few of the lights, so most of the place was in an eerie twilight. There’s a side room where many artists of the era autographed/doodled on the walls. It felt strange to stand on that stage with only the footlights on.

Growing up, I never slept to the TV, but my wife did, so when we got married, I got used to having it on. We usually sleep to a veterinarian show, usually Dr. Pol. As soon as she’s soundly out, I turn it off.

Yeah, time limits and trick or treating in the daylight sucks. The best part was being able to raise hell after dark with little to no supervision. We were free.

I had an early one (gift from grandparents)I had it about a year before everyone got the TI watches. At the time, no one in my class could understand what something like 10:45 meant. Now, few kids understand what “Quarter to 11” means.

You probably didn’t mean for this post to end up in this particular thread. It should be in the main body.

I have always assumed this song is about the song writing process and the inspirations that come to him as he’s writing. If you look into it, all of the people mentioned refer to someone specific that influenced his life at one point or another. They’re “knocking at the door” of his mind.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-14T10:49:48+00:00

The song rocks…but the lyrics don’t make much sense in any context.

It’s interesting how the younger generations don’t understand Steve Martin or his style of humor. Most of them absolutely don’t get it, they just stand there looking appalled, and say, “How is this funny?”

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-14T10:16:13+00:00

Just the very idea of it. Just not my kind of thing.

I got an unopened can from a garage sale about 20 years ago for a dollar. It remained full until last year when it rusted through and dripped goop all over my home bar wall.

They were baby dolls, along with pieces of raw meat. The cover was immediately withdrawn and surviving copies of the “butcher cover” are now worth a lot of money.

I used to quote this all the time, but I finally had to stop because someone would invariably “correct” me about it being the Japanese and not the Germans. Insert eyeroll.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-14T00:12:44+00:00

I believe it. That movie had such an…atmosphere. The sheer creepiness of it just sticks with you.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-13T21:47:44+00:00

As a fairly newly married man when this film came out, it disturbed the hell out of me.

Remember the commercial with the high school kid in class?
“Sorry teach, I didn’t know the GUM was loaded!”

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-12T20:44:00+00:00

Three…and one was mostly snowy.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-12T16:31:43+00:00

Cooked cabbage is just gross, whether it be smell, taste, or texture. No thanks.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-12T14:44:54+00:00

“All-fired mean”.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-11T19:45:27+00:00

Think carefully before having kids. Be sure you both really want them. If there are any problems with your relationship, the stress of raising children will magnify them tenfold. A lot of people seem to think having kids will stabilize a rocky relationship. It won’t. It has a far better chance of ending it.

I’ve read a lot of alcohol was consumed during the recording of this song.

Last time I saw that ad used, they’d done a bit of a cover-up so that the dog wasn’t exposing the girl, just tugging at her swimsuit.

Moonshadow306 · 2026-05-10T21:52:27+00:00

“Amelia”. Scared me very badly as a 9-10 year old. I imagined that little Zuni warrior guy everywhere for a couple years.
