Think the M1A1's been around longer than Norm has been a popular
woodworker.
Best think again, The first tank rolled off the line in 1978 and entered
service in 1980.
But I guess the phrase "longer than Norm has been a POPULAR woodworker"
depends on your point
of reference <G>.
I could be wrong, But that is highly unlikly. I thought I was wrong once

George Burns and Gracie Allen were big in the 20s on.. Mike
Nichols and Elaine May were from the 50s and 60s, and, had a far more
"sophisticated" (and, at times, darker) style of humor (not that this
denegrates Burns and Allen, by ANY means - as their routines are STILL
side-splittingly funny today). Here is a link to a reference for some
of Nichols and May's work:

It's STILL "Norm Abram". Since he's not twins, he is still
singular...(not to be a grammer nazi *smile*).

Hum...Well, in general, no. Also, for what it is worth, that
was slang for dating twins when I was in High School (in the early
70s).

The phrase "popular" was my point. According to the NYWS site, Norm's
show has been around for 17 years, thus he debuted in about 1987. The
M1A1, as you mention above, has been in service for 25 years. Thus,
someone would have been exposed to the M1A1 8 years before they were
exposed to Norm.

Sinatra was one the best. Madonna still is. Regardless of her
surrounding bullshit, the douche-bag can sing. Hits every note in the
middle and the timbre of her voice is downright beautiful.
So you just leave her alone...hairy armpits and all...

Yes, he could sing. He was such an obnoxious SOB that I never bought any of
his records though.
