I have no idea who to credit this to, and I certainly never heard it before but I’d love to have a bottle of whatever he/she was drinking when he/she wrote it, I love it, try practicing it on your voice recognition device.

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)

whats flowers and garages got in common?

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)

say again??

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)

He is engraved in stone in the National War Memorial in Washington,

DC- back in a small alcove where very few people have seen it. For

the WWII generation, this will bring back memories. For you younger

folks, it's a bit of trivia that is a part of our American history. Anyone

born pre-WWII is familiar with Kilroy. No one knew why he was so

well known- but everybody seemed to get into it.



So who was Kilroy?

any guesses?

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)

In 1946 the American Transit Association, through its radio program,

"Speak to America", sponsored a nationwide contest to find the real

Kilroy, offering a prize of a real trolley car to the person who could

prove himself to be the genuine article. Almost 40 men stepped

forward to make that claim, but only James Kilroy from Halifax,

Massachusetts, had evidence of his identity.

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)

Some riveting information for you .

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)

Well well, everyday is a schoolday, Kilroy kept the riveters on their toes, confused Hitler and helped win the war, bit of a superhero that lad. Thanks for the information folks.

That prompted me to look up another fella who’s name gets banded about a lot but I didn’t know where the expression came from.


The expression "Living the life of Riley" suggests an ideal contented life, possibly living on someone else's money, time, or work. Rather than a negative freeloading or golddigging aspect, it implies that someone is kept or advantaged.
The expression is of uncertain origin, and is first attested from around World War I, particularly in American servicemen. Various theories exist as to the origin, such as to an origin in the 1880s, a time when James Whitcomb Riley's poems depicted the comforts of a prosperous home life,[3] but it could have an Irish origin—after the Reilly clan consolidated its hold on County Cavan, they minted their own money, accepted as legal tender even in England. These coins, called “O'Reillys” and “Reilly's” became synonymous with a monied person, and a gentleman freely spending was “living on his Reillys”. (Wiki)
