I still remember feeling slighted because Sammy Davis, Jr. died the same day. A lot of news reports would have his cronies like Frank Sinatra and such sharing their memories, and Jim was lucky to get his life and legacy crammed into a 30-second soundbite. And the news reporter just shrugged...

What were all-you-can-eat-buffets like before sneezeguards? How many people actually got sick?

Lazy Sunday-The Small Faces Possibly the only hit single to feature the sound of a flushing toilet. :)

Some attempts to censor cuss words can be hysterical. A few memorable examples to me: Smokey and the Bandit- Jackie Gleason's character calling Burt Reynolds a "Scumbum", made even more funnier since the dubbed-in voice sounds nothing like Gleason's. Convoy- Kris Kristofferson's reply to a...

How 'bout we cut out the middleman and cancel NBC? (Exit stage left, dodging tomatoes...):)

I'm 45, and if Ziffel was still around, he'd be part of an elite few who could top me.

Maybe someday someone will be inspired enough to resurrect Droopy, in a way that would make Tex Avery proud.

So it seems Droopy's last great moment was his cameo in Roger Rabbit?

Senior High Physics- every year the class has an assignment to build a container that will hold an egg. You can make it out of any material you can think of. The goal is to put the egg inside, drop it from a third-story window, and not have the egg break. Egg survives the fall, you pass. Egg...

Over the years there have been a number of people who were "disgruntled". They come from all walks of life- postal workers, drivers, teachers, day-care attendants, etc. People so stressed-out they lash out and vent their frustrations on others, and more often than not, cause a lot of collateral...

Almost ten years ago to this day, June Carter Cash passed away. And even though Johnny wasn't in the best of health himself, he died only a few months later. When you lose your soulmate, someone you sang onstage with and dedicated songs to, that's a tough one. Although Johnny Cash had a long...

Another happy birthday, it's been Birthday Central around here! Hope it's a good'in.

Cheers, have a nice one!

Feliz cumpleanos. :)

Storage Wars. Maybe Barry will break even once before he croaks. :)

My list of heroes would be a mile long. But a special shout-out to Chuck Jones, who I ALMOST got to meet once. There was an animation gallery near here, and he was going to unveil some new pieces, but a few weeks before the event, he died. Of all the WB animators who got to direct Bugs Bunny...

Our church holds AA meetings every Saturday. Every so often, between working with my pastor, I'll stand at the edge of the room and listen to people's stories, how alcohol ruined their lives, but they found the strength and resolve to put their lives back together. I'm not an alcoholic, but my...

The only thing I can remember about the Superstar Hour was they were trying to make some more Pufnstuf episodes. But only with Puf and Dr. Blinky. No Jimmy, no Witchiepoo, not much to sink your teeth into. At least Puf got to jam with the Bay City Rollers. Much more enjoyable was the Krofft's...

Just had mine, April 21, on the cusp of Taurus. I believe April's birthstone is diamond, and stands for innocence. So I read in a fortune cookie somewhere...

It does me proud to see so many of you like The Beatles. When I was 12, (right around the time John Lennon died, December 1980), the first time I heard the opening chord to "A Hard Day's Night" ("CHIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!") I thought, I HAVE TO GET A GUITAR AND LEARN HOW TO PLAY THIS STUFF! And...
