If I initiated this conversation in person I'd get "The What the hell are you talking about Look" One would remember "The Boom Boom Patter" better than any of the other greetings listed, that's for certain. Where does the line start? Do I have to get a ticket, like at the Deli? Thanks Steph,

My point in the this Blog ( I think) was to try to figuer out what the motivation behind "the nod" is, as-far-as modern day communication is concerned. So far I think everybody agrees on the general understanding; even in Maine. I like waving it isn't done enough. Forrest Gump likes to wave at Lieutenant Dan while walking off his gliding shrimp boat into the water. HI Lieutenant Dan!! Splash!! Crash!! ---hehehehe Fonzie stays but is preparing to jump the shark. Good to here from you Craig stay tuned, there will be more. Say hi to Eddie Spaghetti for me. Thanks Craig,

Very well written! It's funny and good to know that other people think about the funny little quirks too! My mind chases around simple questions and rarely comes to any definite conclusions, except that there may really be something wrong with me! LOL I think I'll become a "boom boom" patter next! The nod thing just doesn't interest me as much! Gotta love the greeters! Great blog. Keep up the good work! WOW BILLY! Very well written!

Nice job.. keep blogging... I think I would get in trouble with what I feeling like saying to the public. Men nod no matter if you know them or not... a silent way of saying hello without any real emotion.. none the less but a split second of emaotion. Women stop and say " what a cute little girl...she must be 2 1/2?" Women don't want to be miss understood for stopping and interupting your day. Many people here in Maine like to wave, even if they do not know you... I feel more apt'd to wave as a sign of feeling good and freindly. Loose the Fonz...! LOL Hey Bill….. Nice job.. keep blogging… I think I would get in trouble with what I feeling like saying to the public.

I spent much more thinking energy on whether to leave the Fonz in or not. Thanks Steve,

Writing is rewarding when you can see that you've piqued some one's interest. Your topic reminded me of a thought I have on the comparison of man and lion. It's interesting but controversial. Since I don't want to start a male/female brouha, even for fun, I'll expound when I see you and you can decide. Keep up the good work! Bill, I enjoyed your blog and the comments.
