I've seen that comic in nickel bins before too. I didn't buy, because I thought it was just bad. If I knew it was THAT bad I would have bought it and framed it. I also want to know who bought the Royal Rumble game for their SNES for a cool C-note.

who's last televised appearance was standing with GORDON SOLIE for an NWA anniversary show.

I think we need to bring Bill Watts in to replace one of the bookers. This shit is getting out of hand.

From Yahoo By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer HARTFORD, Conn. - Art Carney (news), who played Jackie Gleason (news)'s sewer worker pal Ed Norton in the TV classic "The Honeymooners" and went on to win the 1974 Oscar for best actor in "Harry and Tonto," has died at 85. Carney died in Chester, Conn., on Sunday. He had been ill for some time. The comic actor would be forever identified as Norton, Ralph Kramden's bowling buddy and not-too-bright upstairs neighbor on "The Honeymooners." The sitcom appeared in various forms from 1951 to 1956 and was revived briefly in 1971. The shows can still be seen on cable. With his turned-up porkpie hat and unbuttoned vest over a white T-shirt, Carney's Ed Norton with his dopily exuberant "Hey, Ralphie boy!" became an ideal foil for Gleason's blustery, bullying Kramden. Carney won three Emmys for his role and his first taste of fame. "The first time I saw the guy act," Gleason once said, "I knew I would have to work twice as hard for my laughs. He was funny as hell." In one episode, he and Ralph learn to golf from an instruction book. Told to "address the ball," Norton gives a wave of the hand and says, "Hellooooo, ball!" In another episode, Norton inadvertently wins the award for best costume at a Raccoon Lodge party by showing up in his sewer worker's gear. He told a Saturday Evening Post interviewer in 1961 that strangers were always asking him how he liked it down in the sewer. "I have seasonal answers," he said. "In the summer: `I like it down there because it's cool.' In the winter: `I like it down there because it's warm.' Then I've got one that isn't seasonal: `Go to hell.'" After "The Honeymooners," Carney battled a drinking problem for several years. His behavior became erratic while co-starring with Walter Matthau (news) in the Broadway run of Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple." He dropped out of the show and spent nearly half a year in a sanitarium. His career resumed, and in 1974 he was cast in Paul Mazurksy's "Harry and Tonto" as a 72-year-old widower who travels from New York to Chicago with his pet cat. He stopped drinking during the making of the film. When it won him his Oscar, Carney cracked to reporters: "You're looking at an actor whose price has just doubled." "Art was, and is one of the most endearing men I have ever met," the late actress Audrey Meadows (the caustic Alice Kramden on "The Honeymooners") wrote in her 1994 memoir "Love, Alice." She called him a "witty and delightful companion who went out of his way to help each new actor find his niche in the often bewildering world of `The Jackie Gleason Show.'" Carney was born into an Irish-Catholic family in Mount Vernon, N.Y., on Nov. 4, 1918, and baptized Arthur William Matthew Carney. His father was a newspaperman and publicist. After appearing in amateur theatricals and imitating radio personalities, Carney won a job in 1937 traveling with Horace Heidt's dance band, doing his impressions and singing novelty songs. "There I was, an 18-year-old mimic rooming with a blind whistler," he told People magazine in 1974. "He would order gin and grapefruit juice for us in the morning, and it was great. ... No responsibilities, no remorse. I was an alcoholic, even then." He left Heidt and tried playing standup comedy in nightclubs. He failed. But he won a job at $225 a week imitating Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and other world leaders on a radio show, "Report to the Nation." He was drafted into the Army in 1944 and took part in the D-Day landing at Normandy. A piece of shrapnel shattered his right leg. He was left with a leg three-quarters of an inch shorter than the other and a lifelong limp. Carney returned to radio as second banana on comedy shows, then ventured into television on "The Morey Amsterdam Show" in 1947. That brought him to the attention of Gleason. Among his movie credits: "W.W. and the Dixie Dance Kings," "The Late Show," "House Calls," "Movie Movie," "Sunburn," "Going in Style," "Roadie," "Firestarter," "The Muppets Take Manhattan" and "Last Action Hero." Carney married his high school sweetheart, Jean Myers, in 1940. After the marriage broke up, Carney married Barbara Isaac in 1966. They divorced 10 years later, and in 1980 he and his first wife remarried. "We always kept in touch because of our three children," he said in a 1980 AP interview. "After our second divorces, it was sort of like the puppy coming home: `Oh, it's you, come on in.' We decided to give it a go again."

who has competed in world's strongest man competitions opposite KEN PATERA.

It has been a lot longer than 15 years. Rocky came out in 1976. Yeah, but Rocky V came out in 1990. He's suing for the whole series, not just the one film. Actually, come to think of it, Sly keeps saying he's making Rocky VI, so that's makes it a bit fresher.

These Dreams is actually a solo release by Nancy Wilson, but it's labeled as a Heart song. (Similar thing happened with a few tracks Davey Jones did by himself while with the Monkees). It came out in 1986. Her first solo ablum was released in '99, called "Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop." That might be of interest to you. As mentioned above, get their first four or five albums as there really is only a small amount of Heart stuff that the radio stations really do play.

I think one of SA's bumblebees got buzzing in Wepner's ear and convinced him to do this. There's no way Wepner thinks to sue Sly on his own, especially 15 years after the fact. So, if Wepner wins, can the person who "inspired" him to file the lawsuit now have a case to sue Wepner? It boggles the mind. And I've seen clips of the fight. The only thing Wepner had going for him was a head made of concrete. Ali was never a power puncher and it was only after Wepner pissed him off with the supposed knock down in round nine that Ali got pissed off and really started taking it to him.

What the fuck country do you live in that they have Mayostard? Or should I ask which alternate dimension?

Who stole the HONKY TONK MAN'S gimmick

who was a member of the nWo black and white, like everybody else on the planet and only slightly above FAKE STING in the pecking order.

I knew I liked Wildchild for some reason. I actually wanted to do something for this show, but was unable to do so. Thank you for including the big man.

I'm glad I don't mark anymore. This is the craziest shit in the history of shit. I would have to eat a whole bottle of Advil to get through marking stuff like this.

There's one that used to air as a sponsor of Jeopardy at the end of the show. It was for some canned yam company. It had Sammy Kershaw singing "Sweet and tasty, they come in a can. I'm here to tell you they're one heck of a yam." I think it was Serta matresses that had a series of commercials about the dreams you would have on them. It was a voiceover saying stuff like "And everything is perfect, outside of the fact that there are two Mickey Rooneys." And they cut to these twin Mickey Rooneys dressed like the phantom of the opera. And another one is about having breakfast on the beach with "your mother, your high school sweetheart and Cornelius from Planet of the Apes."

I'm giving you guys here an exclusive. In my EWR HSW game, I couldn't find the KISS DEMON to hire, so I hired Doring instead and put him in the gimmick.

Ok, who wins the "Annie lied to use again and came back" pool?

Robert Loggia for orange juice. There's this little kid at a breakfast table and his parents can't get him to drink his orange juice. "Ok, little Billy, if you don't believe that drinking your orange juice is good for you who would you believe?" "I don't know Robert Loggia?" Robert Loggia then walks into the kitchen and shoves the glass of juice in Billy's hand. "Drink your juice, Billy. It's good." "Wow! It's Robert Loggia! Thanks Mr. Loggia!" That is the most ingenius things humans have ever created.
