Think he'll miss you?

So you don't respect him any more.
Do you respect him any less?
He never seemed quite the same after he lost to Nixon. And he's been dead for a long time.
Or did you get the initials wrong? Seems more likely.

LensCapOnKeybounce by OP is my guess. (heh!)
Yeah, I was talking to Ray.
OH! Wait. Hubert Horatio Humphry...He was a Pharmacist, and later a Politician from Minnesota....Closest he ever got to railroads was playing with his Ives Trains under the Christmas tree...At least until 1926 when Lionel and Gilbert bought it at a 'firesale' [$73,200.00].
My thoughts exactly!
Why blame Vice President Humphrey for anything? Frankly, I miss the decency he brought to public service.
When in doubt, I always blame Nixon...for everything.
Does anyone here remember "Only a gigalo"? I believe "Gigalow" is a town or suburb in the Scottish Lowlands near the Firth of Fifth.

Well, on a political note, my first toy train was an O-gauge set by Marx when I was maybe four or five. (I didn't know Groucho was in the toy business.)

Same here, but it only came out to run around the Christmas tree. Wish Dad hadn't traded/sold it...

Sure! The Bing Crosby song from 1931, "Just a Gigolo."
Kind of depressing, it gained a dubious distinction as a "suicide song," after it was found on record players belonging to folks who ended it all after going bust in the Great Depression.
You can find it with a You Tube search, "Bing Crosby 'Just a Gigolo.'"
But if you play it, do yourself a favor and stay away from open windows above the 6th floor, gas ovens, firearms, sleeping pills, you get the picture?

Did you mean: Gigolo
Did a certain Mr. or Miss Typo mean Bungalow (as with a control point) and EHH (E. Hunter Harrison) instead of HHH?

As to the minor disfunction of the OP's titling....NKP guy may be on to something..A case of PWI [Posting while intoxicated?] One might suspect that the contents of thay wee Fifth of Scotch might be to blame?

Hey, wait a minute, I didn't say that!
Besides, Glasgow's a city in Scotland! As Sir Harry Lauder once sang..
"I belong to Glasgow, dear old Glasgow town...
What's the matter with Glasgow as it's goin' round and round..."
A drinking song as you might guess, and Harry pronouced it "Glasga."
I took the time to listen to the recordings ("Just a gigalo") here; in my opinion Bing Crosby just nailed it. But then again, he just nailed "Buddy, can you spare a dime," too. Too bad he recorded so much dreck in the second half of his career.

As far as having fun with puns on "Gigalow," I'm reminded of how Lady Margot Astor replied to film star Jean Harlow, when she carelessly mispronounced Lady Astor's first name: "The t is silent, as in Harlow."

I think "wee" comes after the Fifth of Scotch.
Or "whee" as well.

Perhaps if the OP confined himeself to a fine single malt from Islay instead of the cheapest rot gut, his posts would be marginally more coherent?
