    Thursday #477. This Thursday will go on!

    Or the "Unsinkable Thursday Brown".

    I think we should have a Titanic party this week.......

    -----------------------

    I'll spool up "A Night to Remember".

    That is the Ultimate Titanic Movie.

    The james cameron spoof was a direct rip-off of that flick.

    ------------------------

    The DOTD is an Iceberg..


    1 oz white creme de menthe
    1/2 oz peppermint schnapps
    1/2 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps
    fill with milk


    Pour ingredients over ice in a blender, blend, and pour into a frozen highball glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or chocolate shavings.


    ---------------------

    I'll whip up a chef's salad with what else....


    Iceberg lettuce!


    DONE?

    Frankly, I prefer the Poseidon adventure.

    Never watched any of the Titanic movies, I'm too familiar with the story, and would drive my wife nuts. (Just ask her.......she'll tell you)!

    I'll just sit in the corner and fire up the marconi so I can listen to the Sox lose another game.

    Has anyone ever heard "Fare Thee Well Titanic"? Here's a really cool version; based on a true story of Jack Johnson, who was not permitted to sail on her because of the color of her skin. (It's a bit politically incorrect, so open with caution.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4jli...eature=related

    I'll have one of those icebergs, though.

    I found this on You Tube. It is images of the wreckage of the Titanic nicely set to music performed by Itzhak Perlman. The picture of wine bottles and especially the ending are very poignant (I won't give it away). I've read that the ship is now so fragile after being in the water, at the bottom of the ocean for 100 years that there's no way to bring it back up. The cost would be much too great. Which got me thinking-- Does the White Star Line still exist, and would they still be considered the owner of the Titanic?

    And it's lunch time-- a salad with iceberg lettuce would be grand!

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Not to pick nits, Smokey, but why would the White Star Line, a British entity in an integrated society sailing from the UK, refuse passage to someone because of the color of their skin?

    Neither the home port nor the port of destination had Jim Crow laws.

    The US is going to scatter thousands of rose petals over the Titanic wreck site on the 15th. I think that is nice. Always been facinated with the Titanic. I would have loved to have seen her before she wrecked. Not been on her when she sank though.

    I'd love a cherry rootbeer please? hold the iceberg.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Well...true. It's still a fun song, though. "I just carry it!"

    Yes, when we watch anything based on a true story he drives me crazy, "They never did that. Why can't they use an actual story" and so on and so forth. I'd love an Iceberg please barkeep.
    RIP Lady, Thursday's won't be the same without you to cuddle with by the fire
