89, Natural Causes. Dude was in a ton of movies and TV shows. My fave, the Muppet Movie, were he ran a chain of frog leg shacks.

I didn't know this about him:

"He was among the first wave of U.S. soldiers to land at Normandy during the D-Day invasion and the only member of his Army unit to survive. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg. Later he was bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and survived a massacre of prisoners.

In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts."

It will be an odd day when we hear on the news, "the last living World War 2 veteran passed away today," but it will probably be upon us in the coming decade.

Contrast Charles Durning with John Fucking Kerry. We've still not heard the end of the scratches and hangnails Kerry got in Vietnam. You did know that John Fucking Kerry served in Vietnam, didn't you?

Killed a guy...with a rock...after the bayonetted him. Can you imagine how long that took? Bad motherfucker.

I tell ya what, I did a disservice to this guy when I only posted that quote before. Here is a full Yahoo Obit. One of 10 kids, lost 5 sisters to small pox and scarlett fever. Pop was disabled and couldn't work due to losing a leg and being gassed during WW1. Those are just the low lights of his early days. Do yourself a favor and read the whole thing. Dude was an American hero and treasure, fitting he will be buried in Arlington.

So he's a hero on the Tom Cruise level? We can't even imagine the shit the generation saw.

The guy who played Quincy and the Guitar Player for Ministry just died too, guess that's the three celebrities. Happy holidays.

I stumbled on this the other day. It is a horribly edited video, but cut to 11min 45sec and 17min 30sec for two interesting bits if you don't want to watch the whole thing. I actually liked this show.

nice find e.y.

Yep. Them people aint called the Greatest Generation for nothing.

Holy WOW ! I had no idea mustard gas victims were contagious. Unreal.

I think the Mustard gas made him susceptible to getting TB, which was the contagious ailment.

I remember seeing Dinner for Five a couple of times. totally up my alley.

that was my first take on the show. it seems a predecessor to todays podcast and with an amazing guest list.

Dom Deluise/Charles Nelson Reilly: Which one would you rather have a drink with and which one you kick in the nuts? You can only use a guy's name once.

I'd rather have a drink with CNR. No reason to kick DD in the nuts though.

That's what makes the question interesting and thought provoking. Steve McQueen and Nancy Pelosi would be too easy.

How about Paul Lynde and Jan Micheal Vincent?

That's a rhetorical question if I've ever seen one.




Of course you would.

Drinks with Lynde. Drinks with CNR and DD. Is Jan Michael Vincent still alive? Or relevant?

I don't know, I'm just throwing shit on the wall.

I'd have a drink w/ DeLuise. Big ups to Brooklyn. (side note: When Wikipedia states someone was born in Brooklyn, they really need to state what neighborhood.) Charles Nelson gets the boot to the nads.

I'd have the drink with Paul Lynde. I'd much rather hear about Bewitched, Charlotte's Web and game shows than Danger Island and AirWolf. JMV boot to the junk.

How bout this: Go down on Cher (current version) or let Barbara Streisand dump on yer chest. You get goggles for the Babs deal.

Agreed, but this chest dumping stuff is best left for the Pipsqueak.

That one is tough. I'd have to say go down on Cher, with a dental dam.

If it was safe enough for Gregg Allman, why would any of us have a problem.

That is sick, horrible and depraved. Which is why I'll play something from Duane, instead:

Duane could've been a God. Or a really in demand session artist.

Allman's are not models of life choices. But God almighty I am retching thinking what Babs shit smells like.

Greg Allman hit that what, 3-4 decades ago? I'da prolly eaten Cher's butt in the 80's. Today, I'm all about the Jew Deuce. It will wash off easier.

Ya think?

That opening riff? Pure Duane.

Now here's two masters of the jondra paying tribute to a third:

I can't remember the correct way to spell jondra now.

genre

^Wise Ass.

For that, you get Les Brers in A Minor:

Gregg has nothing good to say about Dickey Betts in his book.

When you fire a man via fax, you've said it all.

Yoghurt and self-satisfaction.


We used to do this shit for hours- the what would you rather do stuff.

Would you rather: Go down on Nancy Reagan, or eat warm egg salad off Ed Asner's back?

Choose: Make out with Mel Gibson (and it's only making out) or go skinny dipping with Prince with all his security guys and stuff there and no guarantee what may or may not happen?

You really had some time on your hands.

These questions are best when baked.

If Ed Asner is still alive, and the egg salad has celery in it, then I'm there.

How long of a make out w/ Mel, just till he gets wood or is it a time limit thing?

You're gonna regret this: You'll get far more hairs in yer teeth from Ed Asner's back than from Nancy Reagan's twat.

I'd go down on Nancy Reagan all the way up til her First Lady years. She was/is a pure bitch and a looney tune to boot. I bet her pussy tastes like copper pennies. The Ed Asner thing is a little much.

Nah dude. Nancy Reagan so old and frail that the broad can barely lift a hand, much less wipe correctly. I'm sure Ed Asner's back has less funk crawling around it.

Back to have a drink or kick in the nuts: Andy Griffith/Earnest Borgnine. I just saw the In Memorium segment on the SAG awards again.

I'd rather have a drink with Borgnine than Griffith, if Griffith even drank. But I got no desire to kick either of those in the nuts.

Drink with or kick in the nuts: Dinah Shore or Gallagher?

Shit, I thought I was pulling out the wayback machine tonight.

She fucked Patton and Burt Reynolds- both in their prime. That's win.

Come on, who wouldn't want to kick Gallagher in the nuts? And who would want to listen to him yap while having a drink.

I'd drink with Borgnine too.

Who would you rather sit next to on a coast to coast flight: Tom Cruise, who does nothing but talk about his acting process or Oprah after a bucket of fried chicken and a family size side of beans?

Id take Cruise. I could fall asleep with him yapping but Oprah gas would be overwhelming.

at first i thought id pick cruise because he actually did his own driving stunts for the jack jacker movie,and thought it might be interesting to hear about how much he gets into other acting stuff.but then i thought id probably rather just sit next to oprah and glance at her tits from time to time.

Sit with Cruise, he's so small I would always win the armrest war. Plus Oprah is so fat she would spill over and she would probably talk too much.

Kick Gallagher in the melons, for sure. Ask Dinah Shore about casting couches in old hollywood and about Burt and Dom sleeping together.
Drinks with Andy Griffith. Just to ask him filthy questions about Mayberry and make him blush. (you know Floyd was a molester and Ernest T was fucking the chickens)

If you were going to die, would you rather it be a Terrorist Nuke or Yellowstone Super Eruption?

That's a tough one. So many variables. Are you quickly incinerated by the nuke, or die slowly a couple months after from the radiation? Same conundrum w/ Yellowstone: suffocated by ash fairly quickly or die of starvation wandering around?

I'm going Yellowstone. I'd rather go organically w/o the wack jobs forcing me out. Yellowstone explosion would be a historic planetary event. One that could be studied 100Ks of years from now, in the twinkie and plastic bottle level of the strata.

I was in A Minor last night. She wasn't bad for a 12-year old.

She fucked George S. Patton, Jr.? I've heard of some weird celeb shit, but I never heard that.

Patton Oswald.
