“Heeere’s Johnny,” Ed McMahon’s nightly introduction of Johnny Carson on
The Tonight Show for over 30 years, is ranked the number one most
memorable TV catchphrase in The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases.
Here are more one-liners I remember:
- “There’s no place like home.”
- “You talkin’ to me?”
- “You can’t handle the truth!”
- “That’ll be the day.”
- Billy Crystal’s (Saturday Night Live) “You look mahvelous!”
- Walter Cronkite’s “And that’s the way it is”
- Just one more thing … (Columbo, Columbo)
- Is that your final answer? (Regis Philbin, Who Wants to be a Millionaire)
- Read my lips: No new taxes! (George H.W. Bush)
- Space, the final frontier … (Capt. Kirk, Star Trek)
All the Yahooligans must have got it! I just found it in my mail and it’s cool!
Yes, I’m talking about this new feature in my Yahoo! mail. Every time someone mentions a city or a state, you see it underlined with a broken blue line. Place your curser on it and up pops a bubble (only it is a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the word). This is one pop-up I have no quarrel with.
And what’s in the rectangle? The first band has options for changing settings or turning it off (not me!). The second, a blue band, has a map of the place. The third is the most interesting. Called Search, it gives you the lowdown on the place. My mail had the word Connecticut and when I clicked Search, this is what I got.
Then there is web search – URLs where I could get info on Connecticut. This is followed by Q & As. Of course, I’m not looking for apartment rentals in Connecticut, but I’d love to know what’s happening in ‘Frisco and Denver. But wait, is this service extended to outgoing mail?
Yes, it is! I also checked if the line of blue-pieces reaches old mail, and obviously it should.
Thanks Yahoo! I’m mailing my cousin in the Australian outback with a very specific question. You can be sure the name of her city is in it.
