Following the bouncing ball....   

ohh they are so nifty, they go well with knobs, and they come in all different sizes!!

oh no not knobs. how to you manage to pull 'knobs' into every serious discussion you see?

I think what sissy needs is a large organ to play with. They have innumerous knobs that need pulling endlessly.

hhah its only been two discussions JB.. and i never have a serious one.. well not usually.... and knobs and balls are fun dont you think?!

Hair, oooo organs and knobs and balls.. oh my.. large ? I dont know if there is room for a LARge organ, but we could try to squeeze it in if i came across a nice one!

You need to make friends with your local church vicar. I am sure he would love to show you his.

I thought they only liked to show little boys their organs? oooOooOoooOoooo

*1975 or 1976

Keep trying...it was more like 1961 to 1964....but yes, that is where the phrase was coined...

I think it date backs way before the 60's

*dates back

oh ok.. that's before my time.. lol. i always think of someone using the phase when someone doesn't understand something and they should!

I've heard someone say okay now.. ready to follow the bouncing ball ? and then explain it to them over.

It's way before cambiste's time too, sissy, as according to her profile she is only 20. She must have googled for the answer.

Bloddy cheat!

hahaha. well i got almost a decade on her. DOH!

I know she was just being helpful, but you could have googled that yourself. But then of course, you wouldn't get such wonderful responses as you have.

Especially that jb, she is the best, isn't she? Mrs Potato Head

she is. far better than you anyway.

jb and dog: are you married ?

We do seem to argue like a married couple. That's for sure! haha

*nod nod*

lol

Actually, the show "sing along with Mitch" is still popular with the senior citizens. My grandma used to be a fan of that show. She even has the record for it and played it once for Christmas on the old gramophone. The kids loved the noise. lol.

Yes, and i've seen it as well - on youtube ^^

Try that link and see!

Show off

lets play lambs game.. ok..

To german - folgen Sie der aufprallenden Kugel
back to english - follow the striking ball

Okay that's not too different.. but i've never seen a ball strike.

hhehe from english to russian to english again - follow jumping aside the ball

haha okay i've had enough.

Sissy!

I think it has to go back and forth a few more times before you notice a difference.
That's been my experience of it so far.

dog.. well well welll.. i've got a short attention span!!

The secret is keeping you on the cusp.

whats a cusp ?

Uhhm....like the edge? Isn't it Dogg? Trying to think of a better word, but it's not coming. Maybe peak is better?????

Well, there is balls in the title and they do bounce.

have you ever had a good bouncy ball ? haha those things really fly dont they ?

The show ran on TV from '61-'64...however, the "Sing Along With Mitch" albums date back to the mid-to-late 50's.

I meant the bouncing ball phrase, not the show, Lamb.

are you guys going to duke it out now ?

duke it out?

I don't know what that means, sissy.

fight about it..

No, no!

He corrected me and I corrected him back. All in a very gentlemanly manner.

Aha! Sing Along With Mitch! I'm NOT the only one who remembers that show!!! Cool!!!

Yeah, the other person is only 20 years old.

I am rubbing my chin at that one! Hmmmmmm


I do have you down as a bit of a giggler, mw.

See!

Hatley knows it was pre Mitch Miller.

Hatley.. I think i have a lot of questions for you.
