Thursday #477. This Thursday will go on!

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!

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.

I'd hold the iceberg, but where in heck do you want me to put it?

Here's your drink, though. ORC! Gimme a hand with this!!!!

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

Stopping in for a second.


I heard that a memorial cruise starting from the UK had to turn back to port because a passenger had heart problems..

Does that mean his heart would not go on?

I also heard that Kate Winslet did an interview where she said that she wants to 'toss cookies' when she hears Celine Dion sing the the theme song from the movie.

People play it in KW's honor when ever she shows up at a function.

Talk about typecasting?

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.
