  1. I don't think that thing is built for a Sasquatch size buddy.... 😄
  2. I've been through the desert on a horse with no name.... 🙃
  3. Vive La France! We Stand With France!
  4. Thank for posting that pdf about Midway---fascinating read. When I was a kid we would go to the local Army Navy Surplus and buy the GI helmet liners (which were shaped just like the steel helmets) and we would wear those when we played Army. Don't now why we didn't get the steel pots too, but he liners were just a few buck without the pots. Probably they made more of the liners as they would need to be replaced from time to time with the sweat bands rotting out especially during Vietnam. So we would get those, a web belt, and then a canteen and the canvas holder for the canteen an re enact every major battle (or Combat TV episode) from the war. We all had 'Johnny Eagle' toy rifles and guns too. Looked pretty real---wish my mother hadn't thrown all that stuff out, those toys worth some bucks today.
  5. Being I'm kind of graveyard kook too, a few years ago I was able to sneak into the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery and check out his niche. Lots of film stars and celebrities buried there at Forest Lawn. Not just the one in Glendale, but down around the way over in The Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills cemetery over next to Warner Bros, and the ABC/ Disney studios. My father and grandparents also buried there. So many celebrity graves here. Also the Hollywood Forever cemetery over in Hollywood near the Paramount Studio is a major tourist attraction, but that cemetery kind of encourages visitors. Ever since Michael Jackson was interred in the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn in Glendale--- fat chance trying to sneak in now to the private areas of that mausoleum. Used to go there all time as a kid. Kind of creepy actually. Micheal Jackson tomb
  6. LOL one or three. Were you living down here in LA in the '80s Strider, or points north? I know you saw Zep at Kezar I think you said once. You and Randall aren't both NoCal Bay area are you? The Crue was not my favorite local band to see live back in the day. We sure had a lot to choose from though back then.
  7. RIP Roy His song featured in one of my all time favorite musical films 'The Commitments' (1991)
  8. Yep... as opposed to what our good friend Mr, Carruthers likes to focus on....LOL
  9. Not sure if to laugh or cry? A far departure from the band I used to go see at the Starwood, Roxy, and Whisky almost 40 years ago.
  10. Daniel Day Lewis is a great actor. Was watching There Will Be Blood (2007) the other day again. Really liked his hat in that film too! And good musical score in that film. Not as heroic sounding as Last of the Mohicans, but the violin music builds tension throughout the film.
  11. Actress Candy Moore from The Lucy Show Aka: Candy-O model from the Cars album Candy-O
  12. Heroes , we need more like your uncle. May he RIP. Had an uncle who lost half of his hearing during the assault and capture of the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen when a kraut explosive was detonated near him.
  13. Did I post these already? Any W.C. Fields Fans? Comedy genius
  14. I only watched GFIII once and was horrified by how bad it was. Since then I try to put it out of my mind and focus on Michael Corleone sitting alone at his home in Tahoe showing an aged and weary face as the wind blows the dry leaves across the ground and consider that the last page in the story. Godfather III is more dead to me than Fredo was to Micheal after Fredo broke Michael's heart. This was the end of that story.... there were no other pages in the tale, nor did it need any. There are many ways to make sauce, but if you keep adding ingredients to it after it already perfect, you will fuck it up every time.
  15. "RIP" Rest In Peace Thread in 5, 4, 3, 2...
