Married 3 times? Lightweight. I'm with my 4th, last and best wife, Mary.
Regards Doug Taylor Profile -----Original Message----- From: pickmeis...@cox.net [mailto:pickmeis...@cox.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 1:41 AM To: Douglas B Taylor; MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] current conversation on shipping at Heritage Boy, I remember that too, Doug! That was a long time ago, but those butt scars take a long time to heal. (I've been married three times so....I know.) Poster dorks are like platypuses, funny looking but able to inflict painful wounds when disturbed or threatened. (Ask my three wives.....) Greg Douglass PS-Since this IS a poster forum... I just ought a combo half sheet from "Attack of the Crab Monsters/Not of This Earth" that I love, with the red background, in great condition. Got me to thinking; anyone ever seen the six sheet combo for this double bill up close and for real? Man, I'd LOVE to own one of those someday, but it's kind of like"Haley's Poster"; it doesn't come around too often. I think I saw one for auction on Heritage, back when I had no money, but now? I'll keep watching the skies for that one. ---- Douglas B Taylor <douglasbtay...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I still find it difficult to sit down, after the blistering I got from my > first post that had about 20 poster images of my want list. > > > > > > > Ouch. > > Doug Taylor > > > > > > From: pickmeis...@cox.net > Sent: Monday, July 13, 2015 1:53 AM > To: MOPO > > > > > > Yes, we've had some grand flame wars during the history of MOPO!
