According to the Beatles, a reliable authority if there ever was one, her name was "Magill, she called herself Jill, but everyone knew her as Nancy" - so it seems we've found our Nancy-boy.

Methinks the 600 pound gorilla in the room is "Manley Stanley".

The 600-pound Magilla Gorilla has actually been replaced by the Angry White Elephant - but my role is simply that of a humble guide. At some point, I fully expect to wander deep within the jungles of Reno casino bars, eventually come across Jerry, approach him and say, "Dr. Jerry, I presume?"

It took work to tie that back to Reno, but we will come full circle; I'm investigating the possibility of a glorious return next week (again through work, but who cares?)...stay tuned.

Stan, if you wish to remain in good standing on this board, you best not be casting such aspersions as the "Rhino with the Heinie". Maybe stepping on a toe or two there.

Touche, but you have missed the meaning of the rhyme! "Heino", the beloved German crooner, is quite a ways of from a "Heinie", with its much-different pronunciation - "Heino" really does rhyme with "Rhino"!

Well, I can't make the "Img" command work - John, any input? the [img]url[/img] command continues to simply display the code.

Anyway,

Additional information on the man can be found on one of the many Heino Information sites, such as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heino
http://www.answers.com/topic/heino
http://itunes.apple.com/ie/artist/heino/id14599214

Enjoy!

Jerry, I accept your humble apology.

How come we talk of Heinies and you bring up John?

And, if you get an apology from me, Stan, it is highly unlikely to be "humble". Smile

(You are always entertaining to read. Keep writing._)

One more try, 'cuz a discussion without Heino is just incomplete without a picture:



For more Heino, check the Internet!

Stan, I think I am in love. At last we finally have your real pic on here instead of that lame logo. Twisted Evil

What say we drink for a meet or six in Reno soon.?

Believe me, I'd like nothing better - the good news is that I will be returning to the area, albeit in that corporate capacity - but who cares? It's Reno!

I'll go post my travel info in that special, "Members-only" section right now....

But if we don't get to it this time, there will be others!
