NKP guy 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.

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?
Hubert also lost the stadium named after hime

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
ChuckCobleighWell, on a political note, my first toy train was an O-gauge set by Marx when I was maybe four or five.
Same here, but it only came out to run around the Christmas tree. Wish Dad hadn't traded/sold it...

samfp1943Sort of looks like an Alien Kidnapping.... 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].

RME 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.
So you don't respect him any more.
Do you respect him any less?
Think he'll miss you?
