But even Abe got bumped off in "The Godfather". Maybe Rickles botched a job somewhere and Regis " The Mole" put out a hit on him. Now Smilin' Don is swimming with the fishies.

Robin Hood is in my Top Three, and was the first film I ever saw in the theaters. The only person who didn't like it was film critic Leonard Maltin, who criticized that Little John was a rip-off of Baloo from Jungle Book, Maid Marian's dancing scenes were xeroxed from Snow White, and "Robin...

I know, your palette deserves better than that. I got a bottle of Korbel stashed away for Easter.

You are NOT a piece of garbage. You are special, you are unique, you are doing tremendous things with your life. Fears and doubts can do major damage. Always trust your first instinct. If you know in your heart the right answer, stand by it. Don't beat yourself up over what you can't change...

Isn't Knoxville close to the borderline between Eastern and Central time? A few years back I drove through to see my sister in Nashville and we gained an hour. (lost it on the way back East). What if you lived right on the border? And dealing with daylight savings time? Might as well be a bear...

Save your strength, and a few bucks, and go for the Boone's Farm champagne with the easy twist-off cap. None of those pesky corks! 8)

I enjoy it when Easter falls around my birthday. When it comes in March, that's fine. A few years back it fell on April 21, the latest it could possibly go, so I was stoked to share my birthday with Jesus' rebirth. Easter 1973, I was about to turn five. In the Catholic church, Easter is the...

Just saying hi in passing, that's about all you can expect. That's realistic. There's a handful of kids I've graduated high school with I've known since kindergarten. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll form a lifetime bond with them. I was focusing more on whoseline's comments about not wanting...

It's a big world out there, and when you go out in public, you have no way of controlling who you might run into. To say you don't want to run into anyone from your past, well, the only way to avoid that is stay locked up in your house for the rest of your life. Try it for a month and see how...

You sit in front of a computer all day. Get a headache. Next thing you know, you eat a crapload of candy and before you know it, your teeth start rotting out. No, our actions don't have consequences. It's always somebody else's fault.

That's not exactly the thing to be wishing for. That's the kind of attitude that can keep good things from happening to you.

Crushes can fade, even romance (so big in the beginning) can fade, but true love lasts longer. A big part of it is commitment. Relationships, even married life is not all stardust and moonlight. Sometimes the reality hits when two people living together have to deal with such mundane stuff as...

The Gong Show was great, but I especially loved The New Treasure Hunt. Host Geoff Edwards had a contestant pick one of 30 boxes. Lot of cars, trips, boats, cash prizes ( and some booby prizes called "Clunks") or some lucky lady could win the grand prize of $25,000 (in the 70's, that was the cost...

Speed dating could work if you're only expecting to see the person for one date, and that's it. But building a serious relationship takes time. And commitment. And time. Did I mention it takes time? My wife and myself hit it off from the beginning, but still took a while to really get to know...

Chuck was one of the architects of rock and roll. Back in my teenage years when everybody was forming bands, and we were auditioning guitar players, if you didn't even know "Johnny B. Goode", don't even bother applying. Still, to live to be 90, and active until almost the very end, is nothing...

They said the same thing in 1964 about the Beatles and all the bands that followed them. Rolling Stones, Animals, Kinks, Yardbirds,etc. etc. etc.

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but a true friend will leave footprints on your heart". I hope all of you have the fortune of having a true friend in your life. if you're lucky enough to have five in your lifetime, you're way ahead of the curve.

To quote Shakespeare's MacBeth, "All sound and fury, signifying muffin".

It's funny how life works. As you get older, sometimes people come into your life who are complete strangers at first, who seem to have nothing in common with you, but become closer and more like "family" than blood relatives. And parents and siblings can seem like total strangers. My family...

Sites like that just cater to ignorant people. People with no other purpose in life than to show just how empty their lives are. To me their attempts to shock are not offensive (I've seen much worse), just pathetic.
