    A hillbilly was the first in his family to graduate college. There was a big party when he came home, the whole town was there. "Son," his beaming father said in front of the gathered crowd, "Say something smart for the folks here,"

    The boy said "Pi R square."

    Dad hit him with his hat, "You dumbass, everyone knows that cake are square, pie are round!"

    THAT is an excellent trivia question! I've heard the name, probably from you,
    but I don't know.

    Stewart and Fonda were street musicians, too. Stewart played the
    accordion and Fonda played bass.

    No problem, General. It's not unusual for several versions of things that happened many years ago to be believed as correct. I didn't see the show you're referring to and, who knows, he may have really said it belonged to Henry Fonda. It wouldn't be the first time that a celebrity made a statement that contradicted something they had said before just to make a good story.

    Does anyone remember "Honey West" with Anne Francis?
    Who played Bruce in the series?

    Did you know she's 79 years old?

    She was really big in the "B" movies. I first remember her from the movie "Forbidden Planet". I was a huge scifi fan when I was a child. I never really watched the TV show much but Bruce was a pet ocelot. I don't have any idea who played the cat. LOL

    I felt this is the most appropriate thread to notify people of the HoHo the Clown Tribute and Dinner. According to the Capitol Hill Beacon, July 1, 2010 addition, the function will be held Aug. 6, at the Shriner Center on N.W. 36th. Guess that is the one across the street from Will Rogers Park. The dinner and a silent auction are taking place to raise money for charity, groups HoHo supported through financial gifts, appearances, and promotions. Unfortunately there is no name or phone number given so this might be a Shriners only event. Still good to know though.

    I got a chance to talk to Ms Francis about 10 yrs ago at a film festival in Fort Worth. They were screening "Bad Day at Black Rock". Very nice and approachable lady.

    They're the same people. I know because I deliver pizza.

    Anne Francis is 80. I can't believe I've called an 80 year old
    a babe. Did the same thing with Maureen O'Sullivan and
    Doris Day and Lana Turner and Judy Garland and Dorothy
    Malone and Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall and Ginger Rogers
    and Merle Oberon and Lena Horne and Margaret Thatcher
    and Deanna Durbin and ...

    Margaret Thatcher?

    Naaahh. I assume the '64 refers to the year he graduated from HS. I'm one of the rare Northsiders here. Graduated from Northeast HS in '71.

    Oh yeah! Norma Shearer was georgeous! Then there's Mary Astor,
    Lucille Ball, Eleanor Powell, Ann Miller. There were so many beauties
    born before 1920.
