Just conversing, Joe. An informal greeting, like “what’s up”, “how’s your day”, etc, etc. It was a thought that struck me and I guess I was trying to be nice. But I definitely didn’t expect that reaction, sir. :^)
Joe: The mind boggles. Deadman’s Hill would be a push-over after a ride down Mt. Fuji. Assuming, of course that Ginger would be good enough to climb it first, along with his billycart..
If he billycarts down any street in Paris he will Rue it.
With the traffic in Paris, just walking or a cab ride ought to be excitement enough. The Rive Gauche is tame these days, but watch your step [literally] in any secluded spots.
Joe,
“Howdy,” is a colloquialism for, “How do you do?” It probably derives from a nineteenth century expression, “How do ye?”
Ginger: Guess we have to wait to be sure about what you are up to with Tony and Mike, but if it is what I think it is then I can assure you I am supple enough to fit in a suitcase of respectable size.
I must comment to Joe re: Paul Hogan. His program used to be on here on a New York City station we got. The Paul Hogan Show, back in the 80’s. Loved that show! That was where I first heard of him, before Crocidile Dundee.
Here we go - being an Aussie, I saw him on his first appearance on a talent show (don’t ask me which). From the moment he appeared he came across as the dinky di, oops - fair dinkum, oops - true-blue, oops - genuine bare-bones Aussie.
He was a rigger/painter on the Sydney Harbour Brdge which, in those days, took so long to paint that once the job was finished at one end, it was time start all over.
His show was a roaring success - BUT OH - if only he had stopped at the box-office winner of Crocodile Dundee.
usfellers Yes, the second one wasn’t that good, and I was so disppointed in him when he left his wife of 20 some years for the young bimbo, much like Mel Gibson did.
But his show, when it was on here, was a MUST see! I don’t know where he is now. Last I heard he moved to America, and of course, as happens, he’s old now and has lost those ruggish good looks of his!
Well, aren’t I the lucky one. Had a bit of a babyface when I was young - now I have ruggish looks. May not be ruggish good looks, but they sure are ruggish! In fact, if I don’t shave for a couple of days, they get a bit persian ruggish.

G’day Jason, dry, Joe, Lonewolf, Barb, Bjorn and all Meggsie’s mates.
Ginger, don’t think of swimming in a river while in Paris, that would be in Seine.

Joe,
“Howdy,” is a colloquialism for, “How do you do?” It probably derives from a nineteenth century expression, “How do ye?”
So, why do you ask, Joe?

Dry: Great to see you back in time for take-off.
Ginger: Guess we have to wait to be sure about what you are up to with Tony and Mike, but if it is what I think it is then I can assure you I am supple enough to fit in a suitcase of respectable size.

He got caught up in a tax evasion scam - His most recent film was “Strange Bedfellows” with Michael Caton.
