The Smiley Smile Message Board

When Murray died he was what 53 - 55..??.. When you look at those promo photos of him in 60"s-70"s..He looks MUCH older....Did he know he had a bad heart..Was he diagnosed and aware of it..??  Pretty young to die.! Im 59 and i dont look that old....Interesting That Murray Dennis + Carl all died young and BW is still here..!!!!!!!!!!!!!..Sometimes i think BW is still here because its time for him to enjoy his time + bask in the glow of what he has done before he passes on....To enjoy the moment without the BB legend gettin in the way....If all the BB were still alive he wouldnt probably have much of a solo career if at all....I wish they were all still here but What BW has done since mid 90"s  probably wouldnt exist if all were still among us.. Could you imagine BW recording Smile + touring with it and the BB touring on their own..??...Hope i havent offended anyone but ive often thought about this + why things turned out the way they have...GOD works in mysterious ways maybe..Any thoughts from you all out there....??

i figured he had a heart attack becasue he was angry and high strung all the time..I had an uncle that was like that and he died at 40..don't get me wrong I love him and don't want to speak ill of the dead but he was one high strung angry person and i think it killed him.

From what I've read, Murry also gained a fair amount of weight in the late 60's/early 70's (and he wasn't exactly thin to begin with), which obviously never helps with heart problems.

It's Murry...let's give him enough respect to at least spell his name right.

I don't know why, but every time I go to type his name I debate about the "a", and obviously guess wrong sometimes.

1 - Murry knew he had a heart problem, as he'd had one heart attack before the one that killed him...

2 - as with Jon, it irks me that after all these decades, people still write Murray, or Audrey, or - worst of all, Murray & Audrey. I don't see anyone being called Barrick Obbama...

C'mon, most people on the internet can't differentiate between you're and your, you can't expect them to know how to spell somebody's name besides their own, can you? :p

We are not "most people".  ::)

I resemble that remark!  ;D

Off course you do. Alot of you's would.

Most people off the internet can't differentiate between you're and your and there, their, and they're. Most people are really fucking stupid.

thank god for that.....no matter how one spells it, one's enough!!!   :)

Here are the the other cliches that drive me nuts. Just some thoughts and observations lately. The most tired boring overused words and phrases I see verbalized and written by posers who can’t think up their own, so they use the same lingo as everybody else:
 
Awesome!
Brilliant!
Amazing!
Dude!
Oh my God!
My bad!
Just sayin'!
 
And now a new one that I’m starting to hear a lot (just this morning):
 
Perfect!
 
There's another one I see written all the time on message boards and even by supposedly educated people at work. "Alot". There ain't no such word in the English language! It's "A Lot"!

Or how about, "That said". As in, "Yeah, I'm on a strict diet. That said, I just had a big hamburger with French Fries".

And........"At the end of the day". Geeeez! Another phrase that's overused.

And how about "like". As in "And he was like, 'Seriously?,' and I'm like, 'Yeah,' and he's like, 'No way,' and I'm like..."  Gaaaaawwwwd!

Dude! That's, like, a bit harsh. Just sayin'. That said, at the end of the day, I agree with you. Alot.

"The first term is 'happens to be'. 'He happens to be black.' 'I have a friend who happens to be black.' Like it's a fucking accident, you know? 'Happens to be black?' 'Yes, he happens to be black.' He had two black parents? Oh yes, he did. Ahhhh. And they f***ed? Oh, indeed they did. So where does the surprise part come in? I would think it would be more unusual if he just 'happened to be' Scandinavian! The other term is 'openly'. 'Openly gay'. They'll say, like, 'he's openly gay'. But that's the only minority they use that for. You wouldn't say someone was 'openly black.' Well, maybe James Brown. Or Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan is openly black. Colin Powell is not openly black. Colin Powell is openly white; he just happens to be black." - George Carlin

Seriously?

Yes, seriously!

(Nods.)

I agree with you, Andrue.

Many unique and ultimate truths expressed here.

Here's another one that's a little annoying. A catch-all greeting that businesses think appropriate so they copy one another. And I don't care if I sound like some ol' fart.  Seriously. Totally. For reals.

You go into a restaurant such as Chili’s, Applebee's, Denny's, (or Breast Buy) with your wife or significant other next to you when the host/waiters/waitresses greet you with, “Hi guys!"  When it’s obvious that you’re a guy being accompanied by a woman. I feel like responding with, "Hi girls!"  Or looking around and saying, "Wha? I'm the only guy here!" 

So gag me with a spoon.

 

Breast Buy? Is that a local thing or....? I know where I'll be buying my TSS box.

Your what box?

"Guys" in the casual sense can refer to both genders. It's my understanding that a lot of other languages are like this, too (in Spanish, chicos = males or mixed gender group, chicas = only females, right?).

Well...........I never knew that!  This only started the past couple of years around here, as far as I know. Again at Starbucks last night, we were greeted with, "Hi guys, what can I get you tonight".  No big deal, just seems a little odd.  And what gets me is that these busnesses copy this "greeting" from one another.

Now i'm worried what my kids with be saying in the future..... :o

Maybe it's just a youth thing. I don't know how old you guys are, but I'm 24, and I always use "guys" to refer to mixed gender groups, never thought there was anything wrong with it.

edit: I just said "you guys"! You are probably both men... but that's a great example of how I use the term. If I didn't say "guys" I would have to say "y'all" or something.

Where I come from (Southern California), using the term "guys" to refer to two or more people of any gender has been in use for years, in fact since I was a little kid in the 1950's.  It's more commonly used to refer to two or more males or a mixed group of males and females than a group of females only.

Yeah, I grew up with the idea that 'guys' is a unisex term, and thus far at least no one's ever called me on it.

I dunno, for some reason I'm just starting to notice it. Not for the unisex group thing - I've heard mixed groups at a time called "guys", but just becoming aware of the fact that businesses are using the term. You know, informal greeting with "you guys". I've been around since the 50's too, but this is the first time I've seen restaurants and retail stores refer to customers as "Hi guys". That's unusual to me. No big deal, but definitely seeing/hearing it more often the past couple of years.

I also see about 3 or 4 new posters here with under 4 posts each (unless old posters using new alias's).  Welcome!
