    Not a name you hear anymore. Supposedly he was the progenitor to the Damato style.

    Archie Moore has a face that belongs on cereal boxes, happy and cheerful. He’d suit a lunch box. Points if he’s in character as Jim with an arm wrapped around Huck.

    I think that Archie Moore is one of the greats, I loved that movie Huckleberry Finn (1960)

    I love the old style art work - Norman Rockwell drew/painted some great stuff - including, IIRC, famous boxers like Joe Louis etc. LOL, even the German word for breakfast reads/sounds like a no nonsense “obey or die” command. You agree, Jawohl?

    I would Put Naughty Polly The Parrot on a lunchbox too. The background would be of Tokyo, Japan and the alleged Long count and referee Octavio Meyran is yawning at such a boring one sided fight as Mike Tyson is looking for his mouthpiece on Feb 11 1990 in round 10. The thermos would have Gerry Cooney as Addam's Family's Lurch on it. You Rang. ! Ha Ha.

    Ooh, no.

    I would distance myself as much as possible from NPTP if you’re not a fan of cement shoes and playing submarines in a harbour.

    She went straight from Rehab into the Witness Protection Program.

    She’s ready to squawk. She knows and will repeat everything, verbatim. Some very BIG names are involved.

    Scully and Mulder have her under constant watch in a top secret location.

    I don't know much about art but it sounds interesting.

    Ha ha, I know this cliché about the German language. I can't judge it myself because it's my mother tongue. So, it sounds neither good nor bad to me, just neutral. I just know that nobody in Germany speaks like e.g., in the video. That sounds awful and totally fake. You can use it when you want to scare little kids.
    Maybe you'll visit Germany someday. Then you can send me a pm. Maybe I'm somewhere around.

    No disrespect intended friend. You didn’t say or imply it at all but if I offended in any way, please accept my sincere apologies.

    I actually plan to visit Germany in a few years. Besides the sights, the compelling feature of travelling is meeting people of different nationalities/cultures. So much to share.

    Re sights, among many other things, I want to visit some of the many and varied castles - it seems that there are 10s of 1000s there - built in different time periods also, some going back many centuries with others being built in the mid to late 19th century.

    I wonder what they’re selling for? LOL.

    Just on this topic, I think Audie Murphy would make a good lunch box face. With the famous line “I hate quitters” etched into a speech bubble.

    No no, don't worry, mate. I was not offended. Your post was funny, no need to apologize!

    I like to meet people of different nationalities/cultures as well. When I was a student, my dormitory was full of people all over the world...

    Unfortunately, real estate prices are extremely high at the moment. To buy a castle, you have to have many millions of dollars/euros. But there are certainly possibilities to get such properties affordable. But then it's something badly in need of renovation (which is pretty costly again) and somewhere totally remote from big cities and industrial centers. Maybe somewhere in rural Eastern Germany....
    There are also many beautiful properties in pretty, rural areas in Italy that are almost given away. The problem is that there are hardly any job opportunities there.

    Okay, but if you like medieval destinations/towns then my insider tip is the medieval university town of Tübingen. Another great spot is Bamberg (UNESCO World Heritage site + loads of beer breweries). "Schlenkerla Rauchbier" is a beer specialty made of smoked malt. The best beer I have ever had and definitely recommendable! I think this statement deserves a signature ;)

    Ray Leonard for cheeseburger Fridays (side helping of apple pie)
