Re: The Magical Hystery Tour - chapter 36 (we visit 1957).

Brilliant line, Reg: 'Quantum Mechanics - No Job Too Small', ha he ho! I love it! I even got a speaking line again after all, may wonders never cease. ;-) Good going, guy. No need for the great 'fag' debate, though...some of us Yanks on the bus do know the score about the British meaning, such as having learned the WWI soldier ditty "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag" in elementary school music class, perhaps, heh. Although admittedly, the overly decorous singing teacher in MY class changed the line about "something a lucifer to light your fag" to "when feet are weary and begin to lag" to be proper and seemly for our innercent 4th grade usage...seriously! Gigglety goggle. Well, well, good chapter, Reginaldo. Looking forward to the next! :-)

Well done! But go easy on the shockers, okay? I've just bought these new glasses and they cost a small fortune!

Oooh, Toni, I hear ya! Lineless "bifocals" with a built-in trifocal feature, UV and scratch coating, super-lightweight lenses, designer frames, and the works...it all adds up! Maybe we oughta eat more carrots! ;-)

Great to have the bus up and running again! I've never traveled to when I wasn't born yet , but there's a first time for everything especially when working with the Quantum Mechanics No Job Too Small company

Ohhh yea now I remember that's what I'd whispered to Robin--speeding down the Hawaii high-way, must've been the Mauiwowi highway we were whispering about?

Love the picture.

P.S. FYI, Reg, for verisimilitudinous vernacular, no one really says "Bub" anymore, either, I gotta say. Or hardly ever. It was never truly popular amongst the Woodstock generation...more from our parents' and grandparents' ones. It pretty much sounds straight out of an old Looney Tunes cartoon, or a '30s, '40s or '50s movie, especially one set in NYC... the tough-talking cop, or the wise-cracking taxi driver, for example... with occasional holdovers into subsequent decades by members of the same generations. Just so you'll pass the next pop quiz in Miss Priss' American Slang 101, natch. ;-)

Hey Reg, great job! You must be retired to have all this research time! And thanks to DLM for illustrating the story with his embedment, er, embeddings, er, embellishments, er, videos...
Excellent. More. Please.

So, Tony...you want some -- MORE??? Hit it, Maestro!! "...Oliver! Oliver! Won't ask for more when he knows what's in store! ...There's a yellow schoolbus, '50s and quantum-mechanical... Which we'll throw him on and see if the time-travel causes a panical! Oliver! Oliver! What heavens pray will the bus driver say?" "He will tell his name to the ones who claim him... O-LI-VER!" :-) TUM-te-TUM... Chortle-chortle-tiddle-um-pum. With apologies to Lionel Bart! ;-)
