I missed the Buddy Holly one. Maybe because I hated him, and his music. |

I only missed the name of Skelton's hobo character. I only recall a few snippets of his shows but thought he was hilarious. I didn't watch much TV growing up, other than The Wonderful World of Disney and The FBI: In Color! on Sunday nights. |

I got 'em all. It used to be "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Now it's hugs, Geritol, and Lawrence Welk. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

It used to be "wine, women, and song." Now it's beer, the ol' lady, and the television.

YES! I knew it couldn't just be me. Buddy Holly - The James Dean of rock 'n' roll. And that isn't a compliment, incidentally. Repeat after me: Just because someone's dead, doesn't mean he's any good. |
