Yes, I know. It was said in futility.

You guys (and gals) might be amused to know the following;

While a guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Johnny Carson
said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a Marine
in the initial landing at Iwo Jima ... and that during the course of
that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."

"Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the butt and they gave me the Cross
for securing a hot spot about half-
way up Suribachi ... bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is
guys gettin' shot hauling you down. But Johnny, at Iwo I served under
the bravest man
I ever knew ... We both got the Cross the same day, but what he did for
his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison. The dumb guy actually
stood up on Red Beach and directed his troops to move forward and get
the hell off the beach.

That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought me
off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and passed it to
me lying on my belly on the litter and said, 'Where'd they get you,
Lee?' I replied, "Well Bob... if you make it home before me, tell Mom
to sell the outhouse!" Johnny, I'm not lying... Sergeant Keeshan was
the bravest man I ever knew ...Bob Keeshan ... You and the world know
him as Captain Kangaroo."
+++++++++

On another note, there was this wimpy little man (who just passed away)
on PBS, gentle and quite. Mr. Rogers is another one of those you would
least suspect of being anything but what he now portrays to our youth.

But Mr. Rogers was a US Navy Seal, combat proven in Vietnam with over 25
confirmed kills to his name. He wore a long sleeve sweater to cover the
many tattoos on his forearm and biceps.

A master in small arms and hand-to-hand combat, he was able to disarm or
kill in a heartbeat. He hid that away and won our hearts with his quiet
wit and charm.
America's real heroes don't flaunt what they did, they quietly go about
their day to day lives, doing what they do best. They earned our
respect and the freedom's that we all enjoy.

Amazing what we do NOT know about people.

I happened upon this thing and couldn't believe my eyes. They look like Technicolor Penis Heads peaking out of Foreskin & their bodies look like ballsacks. I Kid you not!

On the other hand, Boobahs is one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen. I stumbled on it one morning, and it seriously made me regret that I didn't save a tab of acid to drop while watching. I mean, the colors, man!!

Fred Rogers was born in 1928.
He would have been too old to have served in Viet Nam.

Dear God this wasn't just a figment of my imagination.

While travelling for Cinematour I woke up in a hotel room in Mission Valley, CA and found this show on. I watched it for a good 20 minutes before Adam Martin woke up and looked at me as though I were insane... and he then proceeded to make an incredibly off color joke that would make even Phil Hill blush.

I can't believe that show was real. It was sooooo surreal. Blobby things that make squishy noises and then turn into bubbles and small children who dance and fall over a lot.

FAN-TASTIC!

I wouldn't be surprised if Boohbah became an inexplicable, campy hit among college students in the same way Teletubbies was...
