Martin, I've no idea what you wanted to discuss here, or why you started this thread in Heaven. Care to elucidate?
Thanks

Who is the eggman?
My understanding of this walrus incident is that lack of ice due to incessant burning of hydrocarbons is the cause. A spectacle to be sure, but not one to be happy about.

I'm not sure that there is any discernible link between Mrs. Robinson (or for that matter, Joe DiMaggio) and a herd of walruses. I am now intrigued to know what this link could be.

Perhaps you mistake Lucy in the sky for the Mrs?

That's not very kind about Anne Bancroft!

I still don't understand the link with the walruses. But then why should I should expect a thread started by Martin to actually make senses to us lesser mortals!

You must be very young!
I got the double EP for my birthday - and still have it, original sleeve and all.
The interesting thing about the track was the recording hidden in it from King Lear - but I didn't appreciate that till years later.

I was so high up in the balcony (same venue as Sir Kevin, but before I knew him). Between the distance and the dimly-lit stage it could have been Morgan Freeman -- naked or fully-clothed -- from what I could see.

A very important distinction. Well-cited, Fr. Weber.
If one is going to center one's point around a cultural reference, it needs to be correct.

My Google-fu is letting me down so I can't link to it, but does anyone else remember the advert for VH1, probably in the mid 90s, which featured a series of clips of the "coo coo ka choo"'s, "la la la"'s, "do do do"'s etc (very similar to the sort of references made here). It closed with the tag line something like "VH1 ... music that means something".

I've no idea of that, but I have many odd little rhymes in my brains. The alligator one I know goes like this:
Ung guy mung guy chickie chickie ung guy alligator ung guy oh
We used to repeat it as children over and over and giggle ourselves silly to the point that one of us would have to sit in the front seat of the car between parents.
Another was:
Higglety pigglety beebullee binkie hobblety gobblety boobulee bonka -with additional variations as consonants and vowels are changed. Dangerous to use an F as the starting letter within earshot of parents, slightly less bad is "I was born on a pirate ship" which can sound like something naughty if said while holding your tongue.
We didn't get a TV until 1968, so I spent a fair bit of time doing Silly Things. I have only been to one Ship Meet, might oddly rhymes be a good activity for something like that or church meetings? better than the "how did you spend your summer holidays" or "everyone tell something that makes then unique", both of which I want to respond "burying the bodies of people I had to kill for having the nerve to make us answer such questions". Or maybe such questions as "ice breakers" are a local western Canadian thing at church meetings?
