Very sad. R.I.P., Marc.

Tuff Enuff was a favorite of mine back in the day. I still hear it on the radio from time to time and still enjoy it.

There is something that will indeed kill them, but it can be considered a problem itself. On the other hand, they are only around for a few weeks. Cicada KIller Wasp Cicada KIller Wasp

One of my all time favorite actors has passed away at the young age of 57. LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Veteran character actor Bruno Kirby, best known for his supporting roles in such films as "Good Morning Vietnam," "City Slickers" and "The Godfather: Part II," has died at age 57, relatives said on Wednesday. Kirby, immediately recognizable for his rounded features and a high-timbered, slightly husky voice, died at a Los Angeles hospital on Monday after a brief battle with leukemia, according to a spokesman for his family. The son of actor Bruce Kirby, he was born Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu in New York City, and his Italian roots figures in many of his roles. Launching his acting career in the 1971 film "The Young Graduates," Kirby was often cast in awkward, geeky roles as a younger performer. But he went on to play more earthy, street-wise supporting parts, often as a sidekick to the star, as in two Billy Crystal comedies "When Harry Met Sally" and "City Slickers." Other memorable roles include the nephew of a mob boss, the young Clemenza, in "The Godfather: Part II," a gangster named Nicky in "Donnie Brasco" and the no-nonsense Lt. Hauk opposite Robin Williams in "Good Morning, Vietnam." Kirby also had a prolific career in television, from a role in the pilot episode for the "M*A*S*H" series to appearances on such shows as "Columbo," "Kojak," "Hill Street Blues," "Frasier" and "The Larry Sanders Show." Addio, Bruno.

I'm glad to see I Love Lucy back on. The schedule sucks and has sucked for a long time. The management of this network sucks. All they do is re-run the same four or five shows 24 hours a day and then do a marathon of one of them every other weekend. Benson Three's Company Little House on the Prarie No thanks.

I get all kinds of shit calls at work, but I don't take any of them. As for home....., well, I haven't had a home phone for the last 5-6 years. Multiple cell phones is the ticket. What does this company sell?

Yep. I heard a partial track over the weekend. All I can say is it's very lame.

Oh hell, pass the salt then.

Happy Birthday!

It depends. I've done it but don't usually do it. I think it's actually pretty good.

At this point I'm predicting this will never happen, so I'll recuse myself from the discussion. Have a nice day fellas. Trust me, you will be surprised.

One hour? You´re a romantic! hehe It's more like they're on the clock. You get my drift.

Not a damn thing! Exactly.

I had the pleasure of meeting Freddy and sharing beers wirth him some years ago in Phoenix at a festival. A nice guy for sure. Most definitely a true stylist as one of the major fources in TEX-MEX. Fender diagnosed with incurable cancer Doctors find tumors on singer's lungs By Cassandra Hinojosa Corpus Christi Caller-Times August 2, 2006 Grammy award-winning musician Freddy Fender is battling incurable cancer after doctors told him in June he had multiple tumors on his lungs. Fender, 69, who began his career in the late '50s, topped the Billboard charts throughout the decades with "Before The Next Teardrop Falls," "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights," and "You'll Lose A Good Thing." Now resting at his Corpus Christi home, Fender hasn't performed since New Year's Eve and all his bookings have been canceled, according to Fender's wife and manager Vangie Huerta. "Doctors said there wasn't anything they could do for him," said Huerta, who didn't ask doctors how long her husband might live. "We can prolong his life with medication or chemo, but it's not a cure." Since the start of the year, Fender's health has been a roller coaster ride. He went in for an operation in early January to remove the upper left lobe of his lung because of a fungal infection called aspergillosis, but the lobe was left intact because two lemon-sized tumors were discovered. Fender is taking antibiotics for the fungal infection. Fender underwent chemo-therapy in late January, but decided later to stop treatment because of the severe effects on his body. While a PET scan showed the tumors shrank from the chemotherapy, it also revealed nine smaller tumors in his pleura — membranes covering the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The couple decided Fender would undergo a lower dosage of chemotherapy once every three weeks at the Cancer Therapy & Research Center in San Antonio. According to Huerta, other alternatives presented by doctors were taking medication or letting the cancer take its course.On Sept. 27, Fender will go to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southwestern Regional Medical Center in Tulsa, Okla., to discuss his options. Huerta said the 5-foot-10 entertainer’s weight has dropped from 170 to 145 pounds. "The chemo is hard, but Freddy is taking it," said Huerta, who gets tears in her eyes when she talks about her husband’s condition. "We’re hoping for a miracle. We’ve just gotten very spiritual." Fender, who in 2002 received a kidney transplant from his daughter Marla Garcia and a liver transplant in 2004, isn’t ready to give up the fight. "I woke up this morning and I’m ahead of the pack — to my surprise," joked Fender. "I feel OK. I feel all right, but I’m on chemo, so I get side effects. I’m getting ready for my third treatment for the second time." Fender hasn’t lost his sense of humor either, saying that with his hair, still short from earlier chemotherapy, and a full mustache, he looks more like Santa Claus. He’s practicing his singing at home and says his voice sounds as good as ever. One of these days, he said he hopes to get back on the road for more shows. "I feel very comfortable in my life," said Fender, who prays daily. "I’m one year away from 70 and I’ve had a good run. I really believe I’m OK. In my mind and in my heart, I feel OK. I cannot complain that I haven’t lived long enough, but I’d like to live longer." The Corpus Christi Caller Times published this as a front page story , August 2, 2006.

Most of my "new" girlfriends leave after an hour or so as long as I've paid my "dues" so to speak, so I've never had this problem. Not really. I think the Coltrane/Ellington recomendation is a solid one.

woa! more parentheses than in a Rooster Tie post. and one too many to top it off! HA!HA!

It's the gas talking....

Ditto, ditto, and ditto.

Same here. Looking forward to Saturday.
