We’ll meet again

July24

“Don’t say ‘goodbye’; say ‘au revoir’.” I haven’t a clue as to why anybody ever gives that advice, so I’ll say neither “goodbye” nor “au revoir.”

This is my last post until August 1. Please don’t pass that along to any member of UBA [United Burglars Association].

As Arnold so coarsely put it, “I’ll be back.” As Douglas more eloquently put it, “I shall return.”

“Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.” – I don’t know who said that, but I like it.

Here’s the woman who almost singlehandedly won World War II, and here is how she did it. CLICK HERE, PLEASE.

And here is Miss Loveliness singing it. The Queen of Joy herself. What she lacks compared to Vera’s intensity she makes up for in some other way – the guys who read this Journal will know what I mean. And how can you beat that crowd of geezers who escaped from Lawrence Welk’s Sing Along Asylum? CLICK HERE, PLEASE.

“We’ll meet again”

    Thanks. A haunting song–which, I guess, is why Stanley Kubrick used it to such chilling effect at the end of “The Shining.” Hasta la vista, Sidney.

    Al, you are right. I remembered the song being at the end of Dr. Strangelove the minute you pointed it out. The song in The Shining was “Midnight With the Stars and You,” although “We’ll Meet Again” would have worked in that creepy scene. At least I associated “We’ll Meet Again” with Kubrick.
