    Can you imagine living in a time when people said "Golly Gee!"

    and meant it?

    Are you saying that I am insincere, my dear butterfly, when I speak those words?

    If everyone were to suddenly begin speaking it, yes, I would find it unsettling. If it were normal, than it would be exactly that - normal.

    It would be funny. The speaker would remind me of Doris Day in ruffled taffeta.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    Yes, and I wish people would say it more often now. Someone ought to bring "zounds" and "jolly good show" back into fashion, as well.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I still use those words. Not that phrase. But I'll frequently say golly or gee. Along with "By Jingo!", "Great Scott!", "EGAD!", "spiffing", "jolly good" and many other olde termse.
