Jr. is no Sr., but still pretty good. The video though, that's some crazy shit.

Chuck, you moved from Chicago?

Also, be wary of any suggestions on moving to Vermont.

You might find these resources helpful. Money Mag Sperlings Though many would disagree, I would strongly caution against places like Arizona and Nevada.

Must be the magic of You Tube, or your eyes. I'm not saying she looks bad, but she ain't anywhere close to looking 45.

I guess, but it's such a sad state of affairs that she even "needed" to do that. I can't imagine that a day goes by when 90% of the American public doesn't use or at least hear that word. It's just silly ... I use the word in almost every sentence. John Cleese would call me "a true vulgarian". Still, me and that 90% of the American public you refer to are not on television or radio doing the news.

Was it something I said? Or, perhaps you were doing time in Terre Haute? Either way, welcome back.

That's another thing that bugs me about Sinatra's on stage mannerisms. What's the deal with glamorizing smoking? Surely he knew that smoking could have nothing but a deleterious effect on his singing, yet somehow he apparently felt the need to convey what he must have considered is the "hip" attitude of a smoker. Did he actually really smoke off camera? Hard to believe. In this last show he expresses in a funny, yet no nonsense way, how very important music is (was) in his life, yet the prop that promises to snuff (pun intended) the vitality out of his art has to be present. No excuse that this 1966 program represented a different attitude towards smoking - Surgeon Generals reports had been in the public consciousness for some time. Who in show business wasn't smoking at that time? Musicians especially. We even had a thread on this board about all those pictures of jazz musicians and their smokes. Sure, their was a warning about it, but these were indeed different times, that is no excuse, just a plain fact. Honestly, it's not as if there isn't still a lot of that going on today. Plenty of the present day musicians/performers/actors are smokers.

Great stuff! I have a photograph of Sinatra sitting in a chair looking at a cigarette. I've always wondered where it was taken and confirmed last night it was from that show.

So sorry for your loss, Jim.

The pretty girls in shorts is not a new phenomenon. I'd invite you to visit the many mom and pop bakeries in the five burroughs and beyond and you will see what I mean.

Damn dude, you really do hate cake.

Yeah, that's about the same with me. Except the hating cake part. The baker dude "duff" is no doubt a creative and talented guy, but I can't get into the show or it's characters at all. NO CAKE FOR YOU! Now hold on there, Hoss. I get cake! I just prefer it from a joint like this...

Here is a news clip from 2006 about Mr. Jackson. Franz Jackson

The Weather Channel is worth $5 billion?

I'm not much for these kind of movies, but I think I'm going to see this one.

I think that is what he just said.

I hope it was an enjoyable day.

Happy Birthday!

To a true gentleman and overall classy dude.... What the hell are you doing here with these humps? Have a great birthday, Joe. I'll be tipping one in your honor a little bit later.

R.I.P., Jimmy.

Yeah, I heard that Hawaii basketball in 79 was really tough. How they could find time to practice in between surfing is beyond me.
