April 24Apr 24 Chicago Bears great Steve McMichael dies at 67 after battle with ALS CHICAGO (AP) — With his massive frame and larger-than-life persona, Steve McMichael was natural for the gridiron and the squared circle. The man known as “Mongo” and “Ming The Merciless” left a trail of battered and beaten opponents during a Hall of Fame career with the Chicago Bears. Then he did the same as a professional wrestler. McMichael, a star defensive tackle on the Bears’ famed 1985 Super Bowl championship team who remained a fixture in the Windy City for decades, died Wednesday following a battle with ALS. He was 67. McMichael died at Lightways Hospice in suburban Joliet, his publicist, Betsy Shepherd, told The Associated Press. Edited April 24Apr 24 by RPM

May 15May 15 Joe Don Baker, 89, died May 7. Buford Pusser in Walking Tall (a totally fabricated story of cleaning up McNairy County but really a war with the previous sheriff and Dixie Mafia for control of the vice along the state line) lots of great supporting roles in his career. born in Groesbeck. How my grandmother never mentioned this thru her 101 years I find amazing. She knew everything about every famous or celeb from limestone county, and could tell you how many time Anna Nicole smith brought her chicken in Mexia. All about Bob Wills and her brother played fiddle for Wills and the Lightcrust Doughboys. Cynthia Ann Parker was a distant relative. If you just came thru it counted. She saw Bonnie and Clyde speeding thru downtown Mexia with both police cars chasing them.

May 16May 16 Quote Raise your lighters. A legend of the reptilian acting community has been lost. Adam Sandler is mourning the death of one of his most memorable costars: Morris, the octogenarian alligator who nearly sabotaged the Tour Championship chances of Sandler's titular character in classic comedy Happy Gilmore. The Colorado Gator Farm, to which Morris retired after his long and illustrious show business career in 2006, announced his death on Sunday. Noting that his showbusiness tenure began way back in 1975, the Farm's official tribute shared that Morris' "exact age was unknown, but he was 9 feet long in 1975 and by his growth rate and tooth loss, we can estimate his age at over 80 years. While we knew this was inevitable, we are very saddened by his passing to old age. RIP Morris." https://ew.com/adam-sandler-mourns-morris-happy-gilmore-alligator-death-11735223

May 16May 16 I was talking to my Mom about Ruth Buzzi dying. Mom said, "you know she lived on a place near Stephenville, didn't you?" I had no idea. Mom had met her at some fundraiser, years ago.

The expression goes back before Apollo 13. It was used on John Aaron (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Aaron) during Apollo 12 when he got it's telemetry back in sync after it was struck by lightning right after launch.

And that sequence is one of my favorite in From The Earth to The Moon. 1 man in the spacecraft knew what "SCE to AUX" meant. That man was Alan Bean. Class of '55.

It's funny, 'cause even after all these years, we still get people giving us advice, how to improve the show. Actually, a few moments ago I ran into a nut back there, he said, you know, that maybe we should think about, you know, not doing the show in a bar.
