Lately I've been getting plain or vanilla yogurt in the big(ger) tubs and putting a couple of spoonfuls in a bowl, then adding a bunch of raisins. Pretty tasty.
I had wheat germ for breakfast but that is probably the only good thing I've eaten today. Whose wife? The wrong answer here may get you shot and all of that good eating and excersising will have gone for naught.
Wow I never heard this version of back door man. I dug the doors version of this song. You know when I watch a soccer game on tv. I don't really listen to commentary. I don't really need someone to try explain what's going on in a game to me so I shut the sound and just watch the game. I listen to doors music while I watch a game.
You guys all have interesting strategies to avoid winding up on this thread. Mine is to not be famous.
One guy I knew was not famous because no one knew who the hell he was, but was very very wealthy. His name was ken Wood he was the owner of Kenwood sterieos and electronics. He lived in the Mayflower hotel on Central Park west in the 1980s. I had an apartment their at that time. He was older then I was a lot of famous people stayed their back then because it was close to everything in Manhattan. It was mostly rentals. Robert DeNiro and joe Pesce shared a place there back then. It was a place filled with celebrities associated with paramount pictures they had a block of apartments. Metropolitan opera had apartments there it was a few blocks up from their. When they had the Macy's day parade you could watch it just by looking outside your window. Ken wood lived in the penthouse apartment there it went for almost 7 thousand a month. He was an Englishmen he had orgies in his place every week. No one outside of the hotel knew who he was at that time.
I thought it was a Japanese or Korean company at that time. But, no it was not it was an English company.
Technically, you're both wrong. The company was founded by Japanese-American William "Bill" Kasuga in 1961 as a US distributor of Trio, a Japanese audio equipment manufacturer. That being said, the name is made up. Kasuga called in Kenwood because "Ken" is a popular name in the US and Japan and "wood" implies durability and a connection to Hollywood. http://www.twice.com/news/people/kenwood-founder-bill-kasuga-dies-98/7982
Professor Irwin Corey. Dead at 102. He was a mad professor with wrong information social critic comedian. Big in the Smothers Brothers, Ed Sullivan era. http://projects.registerguard.com/apf/arts/us-obit-irwin-corey/ Corey stayed busy deep into the '90s, making appearances at comedy clubs and Friar's club roasts. He denounced the war in Iraq and attended rallies supporting legalization of marijuana. He also could be spotted pushing a walker in midtown Manhattan traffic, panhandling or selling free newspapers to motorists, with all the money raised going to charity.
Alec McCowan Maybe most famous for playing the sleuth in Hitchcock's Frenzy, but for me, he was stunning in his one man play, St Mark's Gospel. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/feb/07/alec-mccowen-obituary http://www.nytimes.com/1990/03/18/t...according-to-alec-mccowen.html?pagewanted=all
There was a night club back in the day called the upstairs at the downstairs. The upstairs room was for comedians. I saw Corey there and Joan rivers. It was a very reasonable price tag to see a show under 100 dollars. You could not beat that.
So sad to see this, a tremendous voice. My dad coerced me to go see him live and I am grateful that I did. His duets with Randy Crawford at Montreux are some of my favorites recordings. RIP.
I just posted elsewhere that he played a homecoming concert when I was in college. I wasn't the least bit interested, but my gf wanted to go. Took about 20 seconds for him to win me over.
George 'The Animal' Steele, Wrestler and Mild-Mannered Teacher, Dies at 79 - N.Y. Times https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/sports/george-steele-the-animal-dead.html?_r=0 George Steele, a gruff, green-tongued fighter who, as the Animal, was one of wrestling’s wildest and most-hated villains for almost two decades, has died, World Wrestling Entertainment, the professional wrestling organization, said on Friday. He was 79. Mr. Steele, whose real name was William James Myers, was born in Madison Heights, Mich., on April 16, 1937, according to “WWE Legends,” a book by Brian Solomon. He gained fame in the 1970s and ’80s as the Animal, a hairy, grunting brute of few words. But he had little in common with that persona outside the ring. Mr. Steele, who had dyslexia, earned a master’s degree from Central Michigan University and went on to teach high school in the Detroit area, where he moonlighted in sports-entertainment promotions, according to World Wrestling Entertainment, formerly known as the World Wrestling Federation. Mr. Steele, who is in the organization’s Hall of Fame, started appearing in W.W.F. in 1967, when he launched into a bitter rivalry with the champion Bruno Sammartino. Mr. Steele was known for his unpredictable behavior and a signature habit of stuffing his mouth with the inner padding of the turnbuckles located at the corners of the ring. In 1985, his career shifted course, according to WWE. Mr. Steele went from being among the most reviled figures in wrestling to one of its most loved, when, after being abandoned during a six-man match by his partners, he wound up under the guidance of the then-popular Capt. Lou Albano. Throughout much of his career, he continued to teach high school and coach football in Madison Heights, Mich., where he would return for Monday practices after weekend appearances at Madison Square Garden. He retired from wrestling in the late 1980s after learning that he had Crohn’s disease and devoted much of his life after that to motivational speaking, spiritual testimony and promoting awareness of the disease. He later resettled in Cocoa Beach, Fla. Mr. Steele was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1995.
