Mr Gorsky Intro

[Mr Gorsky]

Getting back into Mopars after a 17 year break. Just purchased a '72 Satellite Sebring which is somewhere on the Pacific Ocean as I type this intro.

All going well, my next purchase will be a '72 RR....

I have injected quite a bit of cash into the west coast economy in recent weeks. If you live in California, I indirectly paid to have that pothole at the end of your street filled. Go Mopar .

Regards,

Mr Gorsky.

Welcome from Florida. No potholes here but could you do something about all these construction zones?

Sure!

Link me up with some southern Mopar retail establishments!! I'm building from scratch a link list of parts suppliers...Classic, PG Classic, YearOne, Tony's Parts, ECS, 4secondsflat, etc.

All contributions greatly appreciated

I'd suggest BE&A over PG ...same parts, but way better customer service. A buddy dealt with PG and he echoed horror stories I've heard from others. BE&A I've never heard anything bad about.

I recently finished reading a Neil Armstrong biography, and I was tickled by this anecdote. I'm not Russian/Polish......I'm of Italian/Swiss/Irish heritage!!

Pls read below :

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual communication traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made this remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky."

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.

On July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs.Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

From Snopes dot com:

This legend, seemingly an obvious joke, began circulating on the Internet in mid-1995 and was picked up by the media a few months later. The inclusion of specific details (e.g., the name of Armstrong's
neighbor, the date of the press conference on which he revealed the meaning of his remark) apparently led some to believe the farcical story might have some truth to it.

At its most basic level, this tale is a humorous anecdote that plays on the stereotypical portrayal of Jewish wives as reluctant to engage in recreational (and especially oral) sex. In variant forms of this legend the last name of Neil Armstrong's neighbor is different, but the surname used is always a "Jewish-sounding" one, such as Gorsky, Seligman, Schultz, Lipinski, or Klein; the unusual word order employed by the wife in her refusal ("Oral sex you want?") is also a stereotypical speech pattern attributed to Jews. On another level, this legend can be seen as an attempt to humanize a cultural hero by associating him with a story that is both humorous and racy: Neil Armstrong, the world-famous astronaut, is made to seem like a "regular" guy.

Any doubts about the veracity of this legend are laid to rest by the NASA transcripts of the Apollo 11 mission, which record no such statement having been made by Armstrong. Armstrong himself said in late 1995 that he first heard the anecdote delivered as a joke by comedian Buddy Hackett in California.
