Welcome!

There are a few of us lurking about. 😎

I saw when Hoolihan passed away and watched a few clips of their skits on You Tube. I wish some of the old clips were available
I'd stay up and watch them almost every week. I think they were on Fri, but so long ago.

They do have some clips on YouTube.

Like many of us who had grown up as kids in the 1960s and 1970s, I was really saddened by that news 😔. I feel as if a huge part of mych childhood is now gone. Rest in peace, Big Chuck, and thanks for all the fun 🙏.

I'd grown up with Ghoulardi! Because I was only eight or nine years old at the time, my memories of Ernie Anderson and company and company are a little fuzzy. I have much more vivid memories of Hoolihan and Big Chuck.

Do you remember. too, the late Ron Sweed ("The Ghoul&quot and his Nightmare Movie Saturday nights at 11 pm on WKBF Channel 61?

I was, too!😂

and Welcome!

Thank you!

NE Ohioan here, alum of Kent State and huge Guardians fan!

Great to meet a northeast Ohio blogger!

Welcome aboard,

Thanks, but nothing really courageous, just being honest about myself.

Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of (very modest) wealth and (questionable) taste,
and despite the Rolling Stones' song title,
we have no sympathy for the devil here,
in fact, we like to revile him,
he'll have four years to wreak havoc,
unless someone steals his soul and faith...

Love it!

...that the new guy picks up the tab on their first Lounge post?
Welcome, Dale!

Great to have you aboard!!

Welcome to DU!

Given that you are a retired English prof, I'm going to guess I'll be able to count on you to use first person pronouns correctly -

I'm a retired nurse practitioner, but suspect I must have been an English teacher or editor in a past life as I am a total grammar, spelling and usage nerd.

good, we could use a few more English instructors here I like that question mark after your declaration of a soft spot for Ohio?

Well, I'm originally from Michigan and can't quite muster a soft spot.... moved to Vermont in '80 and just recently moved to Eastern Shore Maryland to hang out with an almost retired Sociology Professor.... I miss the mountains

Welcome... didn't anybody tell you it's a rough bunch here???

Glad to have you here.

Welcome to DU, and thanks for the nice introduction. I'm looking forward to seeing you around the forums.

I'll have to check out your reviews. I write horror fiction. We may have some things in common.

Hai.

Hope you're enjoying retirement.

Welcome to DU and to California, too!

I want to thank all of you who have welcomed me so warmly to D U. I look forward to sharing my thoughts often here and getting to know each and every one of you better. Again, thanks so much! 👍
