I never met Bob Newhart; but, I met his mother once. “Mother Newhart” is how others were referring to her. She was getting on in years and using a wheelchair. She was getting ready to do something and I asked if she needed help with it. She retorted “What do I look like, a horse’s ass?” I replied “I don’t know, I’ve never been this close to one.” She paused for a moment (I thought she might be getting ready to unleash a tongue lashing) and then she said “At least you’ve got a sense of humor.”

Made my day.

My wife ran into him on a plane many years ago.  He actually spoke to her.  He said *EXCUSE ME* in the Darth Vader voice.  True story.

Oh, but that story doesn't include the latest twist: After conservatives went all-in on Peanut as a martyr and a "Christ-like sacrifice" and "the Elon Musk of squirrels" (because they saw it as an opportunity to denigrate the Dem establishment running NYC,) they've now discovered that the entire Peanut TikTok account was just a way to direct traffic to the owner's homoerotic OnlyFans page, and now the conservatives' heads are exploding because they championed a gay-agenda squirrel.

TOM is no more. Bruce will join me in mourning.

61 years ago. RIP JFK.

I was in the first grade and my friend Jack went home for lunch and came back saying the president was dead. We got sent to the principles office after telling our teacher. We figured we were going to get swats at least, when Mr Crane came in to his office he looked like he had been crying. We got sent back to class with out getting swats.

Here’s what I saw an hour and a half earlier; but,  didn’t say anything in this thread:

Aren’t I a stinker.

 

"No gas leak" does not eliminate a more likely suspect.  Carbon Monoxide poisoning.  Only indicator (if not a CO detector) is headaches.

Did not know he was also in the Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder movie "Young Frankenstein".

Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Duvall spend their early years together (I believe) as roommates.  And as waiters and doing other menial jobs in NYC.
