Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Thanks Rick! :thumbup:  I looked up the lyrics to "Plastic Jesus" . . . really funny!  I've heard of it, but have never actually heard it.  I'm sure it's on YouTube. 

RAMMEL

Here's one from Youtube -

The one I have is by R.F. Seabury. A much better version, I believe.
It's on my puter so I might be able to send it if anyone wants it.

Good one Rammel:  thanks.

RAMMEL

I have a copy of the - R.F. Seabury  "Plastic Jesus" on my puter. If anyone wants a copy by email, let me know.  I think it's a better rendition than the others available.  It's on a CD I play in the car at times. Usually gets me singing along.

Thanks all for joining in on my "Quiz".

Rammel, I have just been fascinated by the song Plastic Jesus and just found a clip of Paul Newman singing it in the great movie, Cool Man Luke

Marilyne

Thank you Chia - I knew I had heard "Plastic Jesus" at some time in the past, but couldn't recall when or where?
How could I have forgotten . . . Paul Newman, in "Cool Hand Luke"! :love:
