Off the Wall Wonder

[LostArt]

Just off the wall. Odd questions you have that make you wonder. Post them here.

The Boss and I watch the western channel sometimes in the evenings. The other night it was Gunsmoke; the old black and whites. I say half way thru the episode, "Good grief. How many times was Dillon shot?" He starts laughing.

So, I come and google it. Here is the first off the wall wonder:

How many times was Marshall Matt Dillon shot on Gunsmoke?

59 times

(from wiki answers)

That's alotta lead. :D

How bout the show Lasie... Remember that show about the collie and that little boy?

Not a day went by without that kid expierencing a life threatening event. That poor dog was constantly saving little billy. You could tell that kid wasn't the sharpest tack in the box, constantly falling down a well, getting lost in the woods , attacked by wolves, you name it.


Poor lasie would come to the rescue every time. You could tell Lasie would like nothing better than to enjoy one day, lying around the house licking himself,,,,, But nooooooooo! he had to rescue that nitt-witt kid!

[topgroove]

Remember Gilligans Island?

What kinda incompetent skipper goes underway without checking the weather report?

How many times did the professor devise some brilliant rescue plan only to have Gilligan "F" it up?


Seriously,, at what point would you grap a sharp piece of bamboo and start stabbing that useless retard repeatedly in the throat?


Most kids my age only watched the show hoping Ginger would have a wardrobe malfuntion or even a nip slip from Marriane.

Yea i remember those days,gunsmoke,and lassie.Ill get deep right off the bat,then ill return back here on earth.Is there life on other planets,what do you think?Thank of it this way,if there is hundreds of billions of other planets,stars why would earth be the only one that has life?That would be like a carpenter building many millions of homes that would have no use,wouldnt make too much sense,would it.We have been exploring space for what,about 50 years,and only been to two planets,that would basically mean that theres still hundreds of billions of other planets that we havent been too.Personally i dont think its meant for us to find other planets that have life.Ill stop there cause this can go on for light years.I have some questions,some you will know but you wont be able to come up with a name,but we know its in the back of your mind.To get you warmed up ill ask you an easy question,then we go from there.Name 1 character on that show"Gentle ben" kind of a hard one huh?No googling!

2.who was darren stevens boss?
3.remember batman?who was batman & robins aunt,the lady that lived with them above the bat cave?
4.this one is easy,on the andy griffith show,what was the name of the barber with the glasses.
5.on the same show,who wore that funny black hat that seemed to have ears on both sides?
6.this is simple,gomer pyle,who was the sgt. that always yelled at him?
7.heres an oldie,family affair,who was the fat butler/chef,and what was buffys doll named?
8.what was the pigs name on green acres?100 points if right.
9.ill give ya a break,what was the millionairs name on gilligans island,first and last name?
10.on the munsters,they had a dragon that lived under the stair-case,he always blew fire,what was his name?
11.this might be the hardest 2 part question about the beverly hillbillies.what was elli mae's pet monkey named,hint it was a female monkey.And who was the real pretty woman at the bank that loved jethro? im willing to bet nobody will get all of these right without searching the web,good luck.

Groove im not greedy,i could settle for mary ann.One that you forgot buddie,how many times did flipper save peoples lives?Bare with me,this is going to get really deep,mostly for the older lineman,I dont believe in reincarnation,but this puzzles me,all children have a little of both parents in them.Sometimes it takes years too see it,sometimes its in plain sight.I had a cousin named gloria,she was much older than i was.I was only seven or eight years old when she died in 1968,she was murdered.At that age i didnt really know her well,but i knew she was a bitc-.Well about the same time or just a little after my mom had a baby,my sister.Well as time went by i noticed that me and my brother have a little bit of my father in us.In different ways,cause we are like black and white,but with different traits of my dad,which passed away.To my amazement lately observing my younger sister i can see parts of gloria,the girl that died in 1968.I never told anyone about this until today,wondering if it was just me seeing what i was seeing.I didnt want to ask my mom cause glorias mom was killed the same day as her.Her mom was my moms sister.And i didnt want to bring up the past,up-setting my mom.I decided to ask her,i asked if she saw a little of gloria in my sister,she said what?I explained in detail,and low and behold she said yes ,that she seen it also.Now that threw me for a loop,but i got my answer.Just wondering if anyones seen something similar.Told my mom, maybe theres a part of each one of us that never dies.Knowing that this is in far left field,ill leave it at that.

Dam rep... that is deep.

Tell ya what reppy, I'm not much for that majic man in the sky stuff, but maybe when living things die maybe traces of their life force or soul do live on in other beings.

As einstien taught us... energy can never be created or destroyed it simply changes state.

On a lighter note... Marriane? I have to admit she was kinda cute in those short shorts and halter tops. Ginger was smoking hot but I can see where that relationship would wear thin.


Good thing I wasn't on that island! The first task for the professor would've been building a deep freezer. I'ld butcher that incompetant skipper and freeze his obese carcas.


Tell you what... after a couple weeks of eating coconuts some slow roasted skipper back ribs be tasting mighty fine!

That too is amazing,the brains are still finding that he was right about so much,i did hear about the energy theory,kind of like a jimi hendrix ,but in the brain instead of with the guitar.Id bet the brains wont admit that they still cant comprehend what he was saying.But back to the old shows,both me and you know that it wasnt Ginger or Marriane that you liked,it was Jane Hathaway wasnt it?Did i get you hung up on some of those questions,of course you googled some.Knew some would.

Wow. Ya just never know how a mind kicks in. :D I started laughing at Groove's post and the second one I was beside myself. Too funny. However, it went cannibal pretty quick! :eek: But, I did learn that Groove is probably older than I am! :D

Nope couldn't think of any of them Reppy but the barber on Andy Griffith. Floyd. And I always thought Barney was the idiot.

I always wondered why we couldn't see Charlie on Charlie's Angels. But, then I did have a picture when Dynasty came on the air. :D

Was there a cliff hanger before someone shot JR? Was To Tell the Truth the first reality show? Or would you consider This is Your Life the first one?

And are there really ghosts out there walking around? Well, we could get some actors/celebrities to tell us it's true. Heck, let's appoint an actor for President while we are at it!

And who was that bad guy that drew first on Dillon at the beginning of the show each week. He is the reason I thought my vision was good until my 8th grade PE teacher called my mom and said I couldn't see far away. Since you were so far away bad guy, I thought no one could see you and tell who you were! I'm glad Matt was slow and accurate. Your fast finger couldn't hit the side of a barn. Matt was huge. I'm glad you had to live thru that every episode bozo!

Floyed was indeed the barber,the guy with the funny hat that seemed to have ears was no other than gober.

Wasn't the pigs name Arnold on green acres

I don't remember the girl at the banks name but wasn't that other woman's name Jane Truesdale?

Eddie's dragon was "spot" wasn't it?

Sgt. Carter was gomers sgt.

I remember Floyd and goober on the Andy Griffith show

So close but so far away,MR.Drysdale was the banker,Jane hathaway was the secretary,by the way,GROOVE thought she was fine.SGT Carter was the guy that yelled at Gomer,that short Sgt. reminds me of one of the big wigs @ North Houston Pole & line,The guy that cussed me out as he was interviewing me,really a laughable guy.Goober was susposed to be the hard one,everyone forgot about him.Now if your memory is really good you would know the cowardly guy on lost in space,the one that always screamed,and that stupid robot that only waved his hands up and down shouting "danger",way,way,way before star wars,dam i feel old now.

LOL! I've seen my share over the years Reppy. But, I knew my first one by watching those old movies. I laugh at my husband when watching Gunsmoke. He is always talking about, "It's in the middle of the day! Matt shouldn't be drinking on the job." And we argue about Matt and Ms Kitty. I want go into what we talk about with that. Let's just say it's not site friendly. :D But it is funny to hear him talk about how Gunsmoke wasn't a very good role model to young kids. Which is nuttin' compared to today, is it?

Here on this site ,we've had Batts,and swamp,they were'nt what i would call site friendly,so i think you should share with us.I cant believe that you and your husband argue about Matt and Miss Kitty,that makes me feel good about my and my ex-wifes divorce.I cant say we argued about intelligent things,but we never had one about actors.Just saying we like good stories.Ill argree with the role model part,but i have to ask whats a role-model,havent seen one in years.And i know Rick Perry isnt one.

Maybe I should explain "argue" in my household. :D We pick at each other. Yes, we have arguments, but nothing that we haven't been able to handle thus far, which has only been a mere 31 yrs. Not long. :D

And it's not really arguing about Matt and Kitty, it's only implying what their relationship was.

I call these moments our time. It's usually humorous. Not much seriousness goes on with us. I mean we are serious. It's just little moments. Like last night, for instance.

I was cutting his hair out in our garage around 7pm. We talk. We were talking about our daughter's new job and how her boss was impressed. The Boss talked to her more about the inter workings of her new job, so he was telling me about it. I said she was smart, got along well with people and of course she is beautiful. I just mentioned that I thought she and my mother were the beautiful women in the family and that I just missed that mark. I wasn't fishing for a compliment. And he knew it, but he said, "I wouldn't have married you dear if you were ugly." I laughed. You have to understand that my husband doesn't fork out compliments easily, so when he does, I grab them. Even if it wasn't quite how I hoped. :D

Sometimes you have to read between the lines. And both of us are pretty good at that. When we grow old, I'll know one thing. Our humor will survive.

I sincerely hope I've not come across in the past that my husband and I don't get along well or that we argue. Argue is really meant as debates or discusions. And we actually like each other which helps. :D
