Are eyesroll and whoisalhedges the Nick and Nora of DU?

[Susang]

They seem to like polls, so here's one about them! :P

[Pithlet]

1. Isn't that a pajama company?

I have a pair of Nick and Nora jammies. They're quite comfy in the winter.

[terrya]

2. Certainly. I see that witty banter between those two.

They're our own William Powell and Myrna Loy! All that's missing is Asta. And some martinis. :-)

[pagerbear]

5. What does that make me and you, Terry?

Heckle and Jeckle?

[terrya]

12. I'll have to work on that.

Maybe Fred and Ginger...but the problem with that one is that I can't dance.

[pagerbear]

14. Hope and Crosby?

[terrya]

16. That's good. But who gets to be Dorothy Lamour?

[pagerbear]

21. Lioness, of course!

Doh!

[Susang]

6. Oh, thank god!

I was starting to think that nobody here would get the damn joke! ;-)

[eyesroll]

3. Only if I get to be Nick.

[papau]

4. Nick and Nora were Greek as you may recall - granted tall, thin and rich

is not your everyday Greek - but the books set Nick up as "Greek".

So are you asking if eyesroll and whoisalhedges are Greek? -

:-)

[eyesroll]

11. That's a rather personal question.

[Hello_Kitty]

7. So who gets to be Asta?

[Phillycat]

8. I don't know who Nick and Nora are,

but eyesroll and whoisalhedges are very cute! :)

[JohnKleeb]

9. do tell me who the fuck are nick and nora

I have an aunt nora :shrug:

[Susang]

13. This is Nick and Nora (and their dog, Asta)

[Lavender Brown]

10. They're funny, but do they solve crimes?

[chiburb]

15. I wanted to vote yes, but Hedges isn't that sophisticated...

Or witty. I'm sure you all would agree...

[Susang]

27. He was drinking his bourbon out of a snifter!

That's pretty sophisticated-like! ;-)

[chiburb]

28. Uh-uh. He was drinking his bourbon

From a brown paper bag.

Besides, he'd have to change his SN to "whoiswilliampowell" and that would only confuse eyesmyrnaloyroll....

[Susang]

30. I like "eyesmyrnaloyroll"

It sounds exotic. :-)

[chiburb]

32. Or a bad ebonics takeoff...n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. *yawn*

:eyes:

[Susang]

31. Hey!

That's not very witty. Next time say something funny if you're going to contribute! :P

[chiburb]

33. I told you so. n/t

[sundog]

18. How about our own Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme?...

:shrug:

[eyesroll]

19. You don't want to hear me sing.

Trust me on this.

[Susang]

22. But we should find a couple to nominate for that "honor"

Though I have to admit I'm having trouble coming up with one. :dunce:

[sundog]

23. You guys should do your "Sleigh Ride" duet... Farmer Gray & all that

[chiburb]

20. Now THAT I can agree with!

S&E factoid:

They always flew different planes to gigs so the kid(s) would have one parent in case of a crash...

[arwalden]

24. I'm Amazed At How Many Folks Don't Know Who Nick And Nora Are!!

[Susang]

25. Sad, ain't it?

With all of the cable stations devoted to classic movies, doesn't anybody actually ever watch them? :shrug:

[Lavender Brown]

26. TCM did a Thin Man marathon just a few days ago!

[arwalden]

29. My ReplayTV Captured All Of Them...

I have programmed my ReplayTV (DVR) to record ANY and ALL movies that star William Powell or Myrna Loy (even though I already own every VHS version of every Thin Man movie!)

34. matching their scathing wits

sounds good to me! And drinking too much? Gotta watch those trips to the Speakeasy. Or is it really Hammett and Hellman, anyway. :)

[Susang]

35. I'm glad somebody at least has seen the damn movies

I started the thread because of the banter between them in one of eyesrolls' threads. It was witty, sarcastic and quick and reminded me of The Thin Man and that genre of film, where the couple merrily insults each other good-naturedly, all in good fun. I guess I was being more obscure than I originally thought.

[tigereye]

36. well I read a lot (Lit major and generaly word obsessive)

and I am old enough to know who they are. Great comparison. I like their banter, too.
