Posts from Stumpy in thread „The Dirty Dozen (1967)“

    When you older members who are losing your marbles,
    get back your memories, will you remember the movie this thread
    is supposed to be about??
    lol



    Sorry, Keith. I know I'm one of the board's worst for wandering off track.

    "The Dirty Dozen" is one of my favorite war movies. BTW, you forgot to mention Richard Jaeckel as one who shone in this film.

    I have decide that this getting old thing is not what its cracked up to be!



    That's for sure - don't know who it was that came up with the expression "Golden Years" to describe old age but they sure didn't know what they were talking about.

    What's especially frustrating is that I used to have a razor-sharp memory and when I can't even remember the first name of an old friend, it's bad.

    I'm doing more of this forgetting business lately! The ol' mind ain't what it used to be.



    Amen, Jay.

    I just got back from a 3-day visit to my sister. Her husband died last Tuesday and they had his funeral today. At the funeral, a man came up and clapped me on the back. I turned around and saw one of my oldest and best friends from high school days (and whom I've seen several times in the past few years). For the life of me, I could not remember his name (which I know almost as well as I know my own). I stood there wracking my brain and finally said, "your brother's name is Larry but I'll be damned if I remember yours". Finally, he took pity on me and said "Charlie." Talk about feeling like a complete idiot. Believe me I did. :stunned:
