This is a fun one, Vee! :) I remember the phrase "Dagnab it" being used - don't laugh - well, go ahead (LOL) - in a kid's cartoon called "Deputy Dawg"! (usually followed by "you varmit" when chasing after a critter) :) I've been doing a lot of journal writing these past few months. I've found myself going down memory lane about "tv shows". I've been amazed at how many "commercial jingles" are for some reason "still in my head"! LOL I can still see that dog --- and the jingle ---- "N E S T L E S ----- Nestles makes the very best ----- choooooooooc'late!" And - I have theme songs. I got excited the other day when I found a web site where upon a click of a button - I could hear Roy Rogers and Dale Evans singing "Happy Trails to You"! LOL So yes - expresssions - plus jingles - plus songs. Who knows how many "pop culture" things we have living inside us! :) Fun though! :) Deb

Dear Deb, et al, That reminds me of Dadrat the Dadratted. I seem to recall it was Fibber McGee who said that in the 1940's radio show called "Fibber McGee and Molly." Yes it's fun to remember what has stuck in your mind all these years about TV expressions and jingles and songs, but by the same token if you have any talent (or not) in writing down those innocent memories that date way back maybe into the ancient 1940s, write them down. You may be writing down some of the details of your life that would be an entire mystery that your children, grandchildren, etc., might eventually realize describes some little bit of the history of the times. vee ----- Original Message ----- From: <DebCA@comcast.net> To: <NYNIAGAR-FOLKS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 12:32 PM Subject: Re: [FOLKS] TV memorable expressions > This is a fun one, Vee! :) > > I remember the phrase "Dagnab it" being used - don't laugh - well, go > ahead (LOL) - in a kid's cartoon called "Deputy Dawg"!
