Graves, give it a damn rest.

This forum used to have a way to mute certain users so that their vapid, repetitive trolling remarks were not displayed.  I miss that feature.

Iacoletti,

In other words, you're stumped.

I totally understand, but why can't you be honest for a change and admit it?

Btw, do you STILL entertain your wild theory that the three people walking across the pergola "patio" a few minutes after the assassination in the Mr. Towner clip were Bermuda-shorts-wearing dudes?

Paul Simon

Paul Simon co-wrote it but did not record it. What you didn't know, because you did not have an exhaustive collection of thousands of 45s, is that Simon and Garfunkel originally recorded "Hey, Schoolgirl" as Tom and Jerry, of which I had three copies. It had a pink label.

Nice try but, as usual, you're out of your depth. I don't know if you're a sock puppet, but you'd make a good one.

As if there is something special about knowing that....

If you want to impress, you need to do a whole lot better.

Wrong again.  I know "Hey Schoolgirl" and Tom and Jerry very well.

And a Simon and Garfunkel live recording of Red Rubber Ball appears on the "Old Friends" box set.

The problem with being so arrogant is that you look extra foolish when you are wrong.

You cannot imagine the mirth I derive from observing the extent to which I get under your skin. It is the proverbial hoot. Enquiring minds are beginning to wonder if perhaps there is something, well, wrong with you (to put it as gently as possible)?

I related a silly little incident where a woman had asked me at a party who sang "Red Rubber Ball" and I had replied The Cyrkle, who in fact had a major hit with it in 1966.

You replied "Paul Simon" for no apparent reason.

I observed that Paul Simon co-wrote it but did not sing it.

You now observe that it appears on Simon & Garfunkel's 1997 boxed set "Old Friends." It was recorded by them - not Paul Simon - live in 1967, well after The Cyrkle's hit.

This somehow makes me "wrong" and looking "extra foolish." How it makes me wrong and looking extra foolish, I have no idea and suspect you don't either.

If you actually were as clever as you appear to think you are, you would simply ignore me rather than giving me the amusement you do by making so obvious how much I irritate you (which is, of course, one of my objectives).

I've been participating on internet forums of all varieties since 1996. I realized perhaps ten years ago that the psychology and dynamics of internet forums were actually more interesting to me than the subject matter - be it golf, motorcycles, religion, UFOs, the JFKA or anything else. I study them and occasionally write about them. This one is as close to visiting a mental institution as any I've visited over the past 29 years - and I thought I had visited some doozies. Your contributions to this observation are significant and hereby gratefully acknowledged.

Bla bla bla....  Shall I give your regards to Carlos Dominquez which, as an owner of a "exhaustive collection of thousands of 45s" you know, right?

What a pathetic loser you really are!

Why not simply try to have a life? Might work wonders for you!
