“Angie Dickinson”? That seems like a weird choice for a character name. Do they make any references to her having the same name as the real actress?
Back in the mid-80s, when a lot of public TV stations were running original “Doctor Who,” the station near me in Nashville brought Jon Pertwee to town for a fund-raiser. I remember him ridiculing the idea of the (pre-flight) Daleks. “All you have to do is go up a flight of stairs!’
I live in a small, rural town and in the before-times I did community theatre. One of my all-time favorite roles was playing Ben Hecht in “Moonlight and Magnolias,” a very funny comedy that exaggerates and fictionalizes a real-life situation during the making of “Gone With The Wind.” David O. Selznick had halted…
Exactly.
Although the gravy that DQ offers with chicken strips is more of a white gravy than a brown gravy.
Imagination Library is such an incredible program. Check to see if it’s available in your area. Dolly fully funds it in Sevier County, but anywhere else it operates, it’s dependent on state and/or local funding. Dolly’s parent organization negotiates to buy the books (and, I’m sure, gets a good price) and ships them…
Supposedly, Bob’s job in the Air Force involved quite a bit of discipline — he had to be kind of a hard-ass. He hated it, and (according to the story) leaned as far away from it as possible once he was out of the military, which is one reason for his soft-spoken presentation.
I believe Pluto TV also has a dedicated 24/7 Bob Ross channel.
Miss Mary Bobo’s and the distillery tours have re-opened, but Miss Mary Bobo’s no longer serves family style. Prior to COVID, you would choose either an 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. reservation, and when you checked in you would be assigned to such-and-such a dining room. You’d be seated around a big table, with strangers and a…
Well, since IMDb is owned by Amazon, it’s really just “ad-supported Amazon Prime Jr.” I agree that IMDb was a questionable choice for naming rights.
I live about 15-20 minutes north of Lynchburg, Tennessee, the tiny town which is home to the Jack Daniel Distillery. But my favorite Lynchburg product doesn’t come in a bottle. There’s a small grocery store called Woodard’s Market which has its own house-made pimento cheese, and it’s wonderful. A few years ago, when I…
The PS5—which we’ve been handling for the last week or so, since our review kit from Sony arrived—is undeniably faster, sleeker, and smoother than its 7-year-old successor, the PlayStation 4, could ever hope to be.
It’s also the only Astaire-Rogers movie made by the famous Freed Unit at M-G-M -- their previous black-and-white movies were made for RKO, where they were both under contract at the time.
When I was a kid (circa 1815) I used to hear the song, “pickin’ up paw-paws, putting them in your pocket,” but I never had any idea what they were.
That story made me think of this: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/79570/grace-kelly-alec-guinness-and-26-year-long-practical-joke . Grace Kelly and Alec Guinness also never once spoke to each other about the joke.
Come join us at the Fermented Hot Sauce Society group on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/groups/2186993828252093. In the files section, you’ll find all sorts of information about fermenting peppers — the denizens of the group do so with the intent of then pulverizing them into hot sauce, but the basic principles…
I was about to applaud you as a culinary genius, but then you had to say something nice about (ugh!) coleslaw.
That made me think of this, a surprisingly moving and insightful story of the late Tom Petty’s coffee obsession: https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/tom-petty-death-biographer-warren-zanes-731414/
