"Cool beans!"

I haven't heard that expression in years.

I'm still trying to find out where it originated from.

Well, call me 'dated' if ya want...I don't give a flip. I use 'cool beans' all the time...one of my favorites.

I guess those of us for like reading such 'good stories' like on this thread are dated in their thinking too.

Shame thugs have to die for their twisted thinking and behavior, but that's life....ask Saddam.

Once when President Lyndon Johnson was visiting Houston, he was met by a mad crowd which was shouting “Free Lee Otis - Free Lee Otis”.

Johnson thought they were asking for free beans.

This is not a joke. It really happened.
