Wow, Murph, I can't believe anyone knows the film Now, Voyager, let alone would post Bette Davis in it here as American cool! That was one of my top choices as well. I also think Clint in his early westerns is the coolest guy, though there's lots to pick from including Sydney Poitier

This subject seems to attract interest which bodes well for my column. Thank you all for your input. We've hit on some of the same people, but some are different as would be expected.

Shall I post the column here before it's in the paper? When I post without a link, the document will not be cut into paragraphs, which can be annoying to read.

Murph, of course I considered females as well. I thought Alien was a movie that played on our fear of getting cancer. That creature growing inside us. Weaver was tough but not quite American cool by my definition. The column is really about defining what American cool is. This was a real ball-buster to write.

Tramp,

Make it easy for us to read.

Roger, in that case I'll post the link at the end of next week.

Murph, happy birthday! What are you drinking? Remember that in cyber-bars it's always past noon and the drinks are perfect.

Second the motion, and I'll get his next shot-and-a-beer!
Happy birthday, Jersey-dude!

Mumm. And thanks! This was a very pleasant surprise,indeed.

(P.S. Tramp, I tried to reply to your e-note via Bill's good offices, but it was returned as a "Failure to Deliver Notice," using the e-address included in your original message.)

Thank you, Pennsylvania Pete! I haven't had one of those combinations since my besotted days as a high school smartass driving around town yelling at girls in my white '58 Caddy convertible, w/ two friends in the front seat and a minimum of six (required - it was our rule) friends in the back - top down, no matter what the season. Aaaawwwww, those were the days..when I was invincible and had forever to run wild and see the whole world.............

Happy Birthday Murph. My turn for the drinks. What'll you have?

Thank you Wayne.
I'll have Mumm.

Happy Birthday, Murph!

Wayne: "Gomer, Mumm's the word for Murph."
Gomer: "Aw-right, I won't say a word."
Wayne: "No Gomer, we want some Mumm to drink. Got any Mumm in your cellar?"
Gomer goes down into his wine cellar...
clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk (sound of Gomer's boots going down the old wooden steps)

clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk. (sound of Gomer's boots coming up the old wooden steps.)
and comes up with this...

Wayne: "That's Santana. We wanted Mumm."
Gomer: "That's all I got. It is brewed by my Mumm."
Wayne: "Murph, will this do?"

Happy Birthday, Murph!!!! I saved you the last sip of my favorite corn squeezins from a special hollow in Choctow County!

And we have the white lightning for Murph! Happy Birthday and sorry I missed the Cadillac!
