Attn. Marty: Name the line contest.

[Mike Poore]

My favorite answer to "HI" is ............"Yes I am".

Here's a Marty, style contest, where did that line come from?
It's a tough one .....think mid 60's.

Why does the name "George Carlin" seem to be connected to this question?? :rofl:

What's My Line? was one of network television's longest running and most beloved prime time game shows, with a broadcast run of seventeen and one-half years. The game consisted of four panelists trying to guess the occupation of a guest contestant. As the questioning rotated, a panel member asked questions, and the guest would answer either "yes" or "no." A contestant received $5 for each "no" answer, and ten "no" answers ended the game in favor of the contestant. A mystery guest segment was also included, in which the panelists were blindfolded. The mystery guests were paid $500 as an appearance fee, whether they won or lost the game. This was in addition to the maximum $50 game winnings. Guest panelists were paid $750 as an appearance fee. The regular panelists were under contract and were paid "much more" stated Gil Fates in his 1978 What's My Line? book.

From 1950-1967, John Daly hosted the "classic" What's My Line?, to which this site is devoted. In September 1968, What's My Line? was revived as a syndicated daily show (M-F) which lasted until 1975.

What did I when ?:stupid:

I was thinking Cheech and Chong

Nope, no one's even close. We have to wait for Marty, then I'll give the first clue.

I am here, but clueless. I am not as old as you Milke! Even though according to my time sheets I am 72! :D I am here all night. Try the borscht! {rim shot}

[the_pack_rat]

Reminds me of something Dean Martin might say.

:drink:

[Mike Poore]

Ok, here's the first clue....It's a line in a song, about a guy who goes on a blind date. And I had it backwards.

He says to her "Hi!", and she says, "Yes I am."

Sorry for putting you in the geezer :geezer: class Marty, but you did so well with the Sinatra lore.

Um, did I say this one was a toughie?

Sorry Mike, but my favorite answer to "Hi" is "Yes I will!" I am so hung up on that I can't work on the "Yes I am."

Was it the Beatles?

The song is titled Ariel. Dean Friedman as I recall.

Wow, Dan wins! I'm impressed. I thought, for sure it was gonna be Marty.

Ariel
Dean Friedman

Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl she sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Standing by the water fall in Paramus Park
She was working for the friends of BAI
She was collecting quarters in a paper cup
She was looking for change and so was I
She was a Jewish girl, I fell in love with her
She wrote her number on the back of my hand
I called her up, I was all out of breath
I said, "Come hear me play in my rock and roll band"
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans
I picked her up in my new V double U van
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath
I said "Hi", she said, "yeah, I guess I am"
Ariel, Ariel

We had a little time, we were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat
She had some onion rings, she had a pickle
She forgot to tell me how she didn't eat meat
I had a gig in the American Legion hall
It was a dance for the Volunteer Ambulance Corps
she was sitting in a corner against the wall
She would smile and I melted all over the floor
I took her home with me, we watched some TV
Annette Funicello and some guy going steady
I started fooling around with the vertical hold
We got the munchies so I made some spaghetti
We sat and we talked into the night
While channel 2 was signing off the air
I found the softness of a mouth
We made love, the bombs bursting in air
Ariel, Ariel, Ariel, Ariel

Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl
She sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria

You did, my friend. You've earned the love and respect of that wonderful child and his mom. It doesn't get any better 'n that.

Not to mention, the admiration of all the folks, here on the net, for that beautiful post the other day.

I guess the question was close enough. ;)

Dang Mike .... you cleaned up really nice from your hippy days !! :rofl:

Can't say that I remember that song at all but I liked the part about the blouse. :rolleyes:

BTW, does anyone know why those things smell so bad?:puke:

[2003 MIB]

BTW, does anyone know why those things smell so bad?:puke:

Ladybugs emit a very foul smell when they are scared of being squished. As a rule, they don't stink until stressed. There's some sort of poetry in inposting this in a thread with Marty's name in the title.:D

Are you what i am going to become if i make it to your age???? :depress:
