    Rip Johnny Hart

    Looking back: I noticed that Brant Parker's death occurred on April 15, 2007, eight days after Johnny Hart's death on 4/7/2007. I am among those who will miss Parker and Hart, because they were as closely associated with their comic strips as Jim Henson was with the Muppets. One might even...

    List of Changed Channels

    As for network programming: Much of the Fox network stations' daytime programming consists of morning news programming (5 a.m. - 10 a.m. Central here in Oklahoma), while the 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. stretch consists of "tele-court" shows; the morning news and tele-court programming schedules may vary...

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    Jack Ely was the lead singer on the Kingsmen's version of Louie, Louie. During the recording session, the studio personnel wanted the song to sound like a live performance, so Ely had to lean back and sing to a microphone suspended from the ceiling. He was also wearing braces at the time, which...

    The Flinstones meet the WWE!?

    It would be interesting to see something where Vikings get time-warped to the 21st century and turn into professional wrestlers, and then introduce the sport to the villagers when they go back to their own time period, or even a Viking-era version of pro wrestling.....
