  1. Now that I can see the video at the link I posted, it isn't the Ed Sullivan appearance.
  2. Who's Grandma Moses? Is she a women's basketball player? http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0907.html
  3. He was so relaxed he forgot the name of some of his tunes! Actually, I'm guessing the producer renamed them. What's with the Franglish "Portrait of an Ermite"? Does anybody know if the original French label said that or "Portrait d'un Ermite"? And speaking of portraits of ermites: http://info.francetelevisions.fr/video-info/index-fr.php?id-video=000331624_CAPP_Entrevaux04Portraitdunermite_251020111247_F3
  4. Maybe they should just close the school and give the town a more dignified name.
  5. The Medici Med Florey Flournoy Miller
  6. I'd imagine you wouldn't want many of your "esteemed guests"!
  7. Del Shofner Del Shannon The Del Vikings
  8. He needs to be dealt with in The Hague. Perhaps, but that approach is very similar to Goodspeak's erstwhile defense of Paterno.
  9. I remember the train wreck jazz supergroup that appeared on Sullivan after the Rahsaan protests: Mingus, Haynes, Kirk and Shepp doing Haitian Fight Song. I think everybody had time for maybe half a chorus of solo. I can't get videos at work, but it may be on this page: http://www.jazzonthetube.com/videos/black-history-month/rashaan-roland-kirk.html
  10. My mother proudly said to young Pete C of Jack Ruby, "Ya know, he's Jewish!"
  11. And we honor him by spelling his name right!
  12. But maybe he kept his word and quit hugging.
  13. Beetle Bailey Pearl Bailey Pearl Harbour
  14. Saw that when I got to the office--we were next to the trading division which had a big-screen TV. A bit earlier I saw the first tower in flames live from the subway on the Manhattan bridge. In a slightly different vein, summer of '73, the summer between h.s. & college, I was glued to the TV for the Watergate hearings. Indeed.
  15. This may be a better likeness.
  16. I'm neither in Great Britain, the United Kingdom, nor England. I am in Great Brooklyn.
  17. Not the same chair, but I think it's a good likeness of Brownie.
  18. Tony Soprano Jimi Tenor Alvar Aalto
  19. Benny Hill Benny Green Hill Greene
  20. Assuming you mean figuratively jizzing, you don't need to apologize.
  21. Paul the Apostle Pete Postlethwaite C.W. Post
  22. Chaise lounge is an American corruption of the French chaise longue (long chair). I guess it was conflated with lounge chair. In Brooklyn it's pronounced "Shea's Lounge." I remember hearing the Fontainbleau hotel in Miami Beach always being called the "fountain-blue." Even if there were a session going on, I think the mix would be different from that perspective...
  23. Joe Pine Jack Oakie Ron Wood
  24. 8 years from now, will she still need me, will she still feed me?
  25. Jimmy Ricks Sonny Til Emmett Till
