Someone asked about "the Big Apple." Immediately, of course, came the whores. Then came the jazz musicians. Then came the 1937 "Big Apple" dance. No one could Google and find my site (mentioned on Wikipedia). No one.

"Mo Nickels" (Grant Barrett) stepped up to the plate.

One poster stated that Gerald Cohen was his/her language professor!
