Would they be considered the Austrian Twins, or because they were traded in 2014, the Liverpoolian Twins? Or maybe like I have dubbed them, the Austra-British Twins?

Thanks Carol CPH! Great to have you, Itso, Jacki, Ricky, Jerry, and the others to back up my efforts! Even better to cheer on all the groovy Wagners! First pitch to Lisa coming up next. After that we can relish big Buckeye and Cornhusker wins! Glad I’ll be in my 70 degree Man Cave. Right now in Omaha is it 29 degrees with a 21 degree wind chill. Cold, cloudy, and dreary with a 50% change of rain. It won’t be much better in Lincoln in an hour. A buddy invited me to go to the game for a less than face-value $50 ticket in the club seating. I said thanks, but no thanks!

I did not expect this, Jacki Purple Buzz Queen; lol! I neither want to be famous or infamous here. The FOCUS is on MONA and LISA, eh?
Ha ha; this reminds me of the good old days at Intergalactic!!!
How in the world do you get emojis here, oh Queen of All Emojis?!?!?!?

We may have been in high school at the same time, Steve. Born in 1950, I was in the now-famous CLASS of ’69!
Yeah, the NU/PSU rivalry goes back a bit and really heated up in the 80’s, eh? Dr. Tom Osborne and Joe Pa Paterno were true legends. I hated the way Joe Pa’s legacy was tarnished at the end. 🙁
Beautiful daughter Steve, in many more ways that one, eh? My Sweet Lenore and I saw McCartney in Raleigh, NC in July 1990. We lived in Charlotte, NC from ’86 to ’90.
Yeah buddy, my #1 Bucket List Dream is to meet Mona and Lisa and their lovely parents, and to give them all a warm embrace. Actually, that is kinda related to my first fastball. I’ll bet that Lisa will hit a walk-off home run with my very first pitch!!!
-
Thanks Steve! I like your manners and your attitude. Ha ha; if the children of the 60’s are dinosaurs, then as a child of the 50’s I am a fossil; lol!
Actually, as a Nebraskan, I am a Child of the Corn; a Cornhusker from Husker Nation! (Go Big Red.) Mona and Lisa already know what that means! I’m from the big city of Omaha, one of the top music and foodie cities of America.
Where are you from Steve? Are you a Yank, a Brit, or other Euro? I see that you have brought your lovely lady with you and so have I. Nice to make your acquaintance here, sir!

Thanks Itso! Lisa will be first batter-up in the first inning late tonight. I don’t know that she has played much baseball, but methinks she is a fast learner. You and Carol CPH can always help her with her batting stance and swing.
I’m gonna throw the heat right away, a fastball in the strike zone. No curveballs or sliders though. Heck, she might hit a home run in her first at bat!
This is not the World Series, but there may still be plenty of crowd noise for both pitcher and batter. Thanks buddy!

Thanks Howard. You ever go by Howie? You can shorten me to Mike if you wish. Yeah buddy, I am not looking for efficiency, productivity, or speed here. That is for my part-time job. The rest of the time, I exist in the slow lane of life.
I’m not looking for just clarifications from Mona and Lisa. I just wish to get to know them a little better. My main motivation is to uplift their spirits, encourage them, and brighten their days if I can.
You have your way of doing this and so do I and both are valid. I think you understand that I prefer that Lisa and Mona first answer my questions. But I think I am starting to repeat myself here. I’m a slow typist and have spent way more time than I thought here. I have a feeling that you and Tim plan to appear in an omnipresent fashion in my posts, and that makes me a tad uncomfortable; sorry. I like flying under the radar a bit. I’m not wanting to be impolite here Howard. Have a great weekend and enjoy this groovy club!

That has happened to me often in Facebook. I call them gremlins sometimes. If I think about it beforehand, and know I’ll write a long post or reply (like I did to you here), I’ll compose it first in MS Word, save it, and copy/paste. Please do not wait with baited breath, Tim. These questions will take a year and be nothing extra special. I don’t know that this thread deserved all this attention. (You never go by Timothy or Timmy?) I go usually Mike and maybe Mikey by my mommy as a baby’ lol.
-
Thanks Tim; I appreciate your thoughts. I also appreciate that everyone here is willing to support Team MLT financially and with kind words. I was in another fan club where I saw a lot of “fans” that were just YouTube “Cover Lovers” and never gave a nickel of support.
I am not the “posting police” and do not wish to assume the role of one, even in the threads I originate. I live in a free country in the free world and I assume that the vast majority of folks here do as well.
Fan clubs and online stuff are relatively new to me still; a little over two years. I have inactivated my Facebook account before, and am about to do it again, and maybe for good. Long story; but here is how I explain it: #ontoolong, #uptoolate, and #fatternotfitter; lol!
I believe the MLT CLUB to be a wonderful way to commune with Lisa and Mona, and to get to know them better. I am happy to “give back” by making them smile, while supporting them with a few funds as well.
So, the bottom line for me Tim, is this: No, I do not wish to “stop all conversation” in my threads. How would I do that anyway? Even so, and this has been my belief for decades, I think it is a lack of good manners to answer a question that is directly addressed to some one else. I realize that others may not feel that way. Nonetheless, I know this is a public and not a private forum.
I am so far behind in life Tim, that I won’t generally be making many long replies to anyone unless it is Mona and Lisa and their parents. My lack of being able to be here everyday is one reason I am setting aside time for one question per month for Lisa, and one for Mona. If you notice I don’t engage in conversation with others (unless it is close friends I have known for years now), it is not because I am anti-social or unloving. Ask the people who know me, and especially the Wagner family.
By the way, to a point that Howard made here, I am not just seeking information about the Twins. Along with my buddy Christomir (Itso) and others, I fancy myself as somewhat of an “MLT Historian.” But my main joy is enjoying the present with them, and looking forward to the future. I hope to live long enough to follow the vast majority of the careers of Mona and Lisa. But there are no guarantees for any of us, right buddy?
Stay tuned and enjoy my Q #1 to Lisa tomorrow night. It will not be an underhand lob. It will be a 95 mph fastball!!! (No curveballs that she can’t hit though.)
-
Thanks so much Mona! Question #1 will be asked to Lisa this Friday and Question #2 will be posed to you in two weeks after that, on November 30th.
If you don’t like Lisa’s answer to me, then feel free to reply yourself, or correct your old sister. Michaela and Papa Rudi can chime in as well, but ONLY the Wagner Family who moved from Austria to Liverpool in 2014 is eligible to answer.
If anyone else attempts to answer for you Wagners, then please ask Lisa to pour tea on their head, but only lukewarm. We don’t wish to harm them with boiling hot tea or freezing cold tea; lol!
-
Thank you sir, but I thought someone else here already established that this part of the forum is called “Ask the MonaLisa Twins.” I appreciate folks letting one of them answer the questions posed to them by name.
-
Ha ha Queen PB! This is a personal name for my own personal MLT2toMLT questions, not the entire Universe or Galactica here; lol! Thanks though! Sleepy too; buzz-zzzzzzzzzzz.
-
The “Mona-Smile” makes me week in the knees, honey pie, but to help you and Lisa smile is the main reason I came to this groovy location, my sweet friend!
Whoa; new recordings already? More MLT originals or more play Beatles & more?
I have now listened to Vol 2 & 3 several times, and in headphones at work today, and that is the way to go!!! You and Lisa now want me to rank all 42 songs of Vol 1, 2, & 3? (MLT All-Time Top 42 Covers!)
Took me by surprise that John Sebastian; John Sebastian himself, sang the lead of his tune with you and big sis backing him up. Was it Papa Rudi’s voice saying; “Go home son and make up your mind?” I’m lovin’ that one a whole big spoonful & more! (By the way the lyric, “your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl” is one of Sweet Lenore’s favorite lyrics. It makes her laugh out loud! And believe me, there is nothing mousy about my Main Squeeze; ha ha!)
I crank up the volume for “Glass Onion” and “Hey Bulldog!” Who are the barking dogs at the end? Cracks me up! The ONLY problem with “Glass Onion” is that my little brain is programmed to hear “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” next! Nonetheless, please, please, me and DO NOT record the entire “White Album!” Like Itso tries to tell people; as much as you love The Beatles, you ARE NOT a tribute band!!!
Sending all my groovy love from 6 time zones away; from Omaha to Liverpool! <3 <3
P.S. I was so happy that I was home when Please Mr. Postman rang my doorbell! I told him that I was glad I had to sign for the parcel, since it contained precious cargo. When he inquired, it was my golden opportunity to give another “MonaLisa Witness.” He said he would go back to his little white, red, and blue truck, he would google you up on his little hand-held device! Oh yeah. OH YEEAAHHHH!!!
-
Wow Ricky! Your # 1 is my #23 and Itso’s #21. (Hope he does not mind me posting that, because maybe he moved it up in the last 3 months.) Nonetheless, many people saw our 2 lists. This is what we get for posting all 23 original, yikes! As C27 is in Lisa’s own Top 5, I hope she is not mad at me now. I know that Mona will always love, love, me do and send all her loving to me!
-
Ha ha, no I didn’t Howard; I didn’t even see Jung’s comment. Trying to be here, there, and everywhere was one of the mistakes I made at IFC. I constantly lost my way in the numerous rabbit holes there. I’m not even gonna try to keep track over here or give a shout out to everyone’s grandkid. Ask Itso or CPH or Jacki; lol!!!
