Trump's managing to pull out a defeat from the jaws of that victory has to have set some sort of record in the history of politics.

And he managed to blow that bit 'o approval in less than 8 hours.

Oh, but they will disappoint. They always do.

That was a song by Odgen Edsl, and it was in constant rotation on the Dr. Demento Radio Show.

I loved Garner's using hand language to describe to Lee's boss what happened to him.

I remember Brian Keith being in a very short lived "Archer" series on NBC in the '70's. And that's all I remember about it.

I liked Garner's take on Marlowe, though it was kind of a dry run at his Jim Rockford character.

If memory serves, the '50's TV series "M Squad" that starred Lee Marvin as a Chicago Police Detective was shot in Chicago. One of the episodes portrayed one, and only one of the Chicago PD as on the take, and was brought to task by Marvin. That's wasn't good enough for Daley, and he pretty much closed down any kind…

Somehow, I don't think Belushi needed much in the way of encouragement to do drugs.

Shoney's was founded in Charleston,WV and had franchises in Tennessee, and points south. Wheeling's,WV's Elby's and Virginia's Yoda's and Lendy's were subfranchisees of Shoney's.

Didn't you ever make it to Eastern Ohio, home of Elby's Big Boy, and later Elby's Family Restuarants? Elby's, which was based in Wheeling,WV and Frisch's were in a franchise fight for years, as the founder of Frisch's gave Elby's the right to expand into Ohio, stopping at the Franklin County line. When the founder…

I was referring to posts on Usenet, which I haven't been to in ages. No matter what anyone said or asked about Jackson, sooner or later, an uber fan would go off at the drop of a hat.

We use the OCLC system, which can tell what Library has a book in it's system, and can be any kind of Library, Public, Subscription, or Academic. I think the tale of the tape here is that Bowling Green University in Ohio doesn't have it in their holdings, and they have the largest collection of books, media, etc.…

I can see where a fan can go off on someone for attacking their idol, but some of the posts by Jackson uber fans were borderline nuts, even if someone had a serious question about the man, they'd go off like a rocket. My favorite was when one posted that Michael Jackson had the most sold out concerts of any artist in…

I can sort of see why Trekkers might not like being called Trekkies, but after reading a few of the floons posts, I can see how they got the name.

I work in the Interlibrary Loan department of an academic Library, and did a quick
online search. Only 6 Libraries in the US have the book in their holdings right now, so there might be a wait in getting it through Interlibrary Loan, which usually is free, or a couple of bucks at best.

Back when I used to check out the Usenet Gossip Groups, some of the Jackson uber fans rants were worth the price of admission. They even had their own name, "Floons." Needless to say, they didn't like it.

I'm old enough to remember when The Gong Show began on NBC daytime @ 12:30, after the local news. I would come home from football practice, and park myself in front of the TV and turn up the AC. The first week, there was a Beatles tribute band that was really, really, good. They were gonged for "Not being…

Because John Landis directed it. Costa-Gavras also appeared in Landis's "Spies Like Us" and "Into The Night," along with just about every other big time director that wasn't Scorsese or Spielberg. (Spielberg did appear in "The Blues Brothers," though.)

Sadly, Steve Allen's Tonight Shows are essentially gone as well, other than the introduction to his first one. Unlike Johnny Carson's first Tonight Show, we actually get to see Steve talking to the audience. I was thrilled to see that two of Ernie Kovacs's Tonight Shows survived, and wound up on the Shout! DVD…
