Kinda makes me want to get a cigar to enjoy in his honour!

Knowing how much I am enjoying "All my Best Friends" I am certain I will have to buy and read "Gracie: A Love Story" also. It is like opening a time capsule from those earliest eras of Hollywood and...

I just picked up this gem of a book a few weeks ago and now I cannot put it down! It is a great look at the earliest days of modern entertainment from Vaudeville to radio and later TV. It is...

Not many days go by where I don't make some reference to one of Mel's famous cartoon characters!

I really enjoy that era...I had parents who were born at the end of the 1920's so their love of things they saw and experienced in the 1930's and on have really impacted my life and interests.

I...

Hey JudyAnn! That is a fantastic link! I just relived my childhood looking at those Christmas catologues!!! Great find!!!

Here's another great clip from Vincent Price talking about speaking up against prejudice and racism. I was really moved by this.

Growing up here in Canada, we were treated to Vincent Price as a character on the kids show Hilarious House of Frieghtenstein. He was hysterical on that show. It was a small town production from...

I am wondering a couple things about the NHL season...just which team is really the Calgary Flames this year? They have been playing so very inconsistantly! They lay a plastering on defending champs...

Colon Blow....everytime a product on TV touts the fibre content, I can't help but think of Phil sitting on that mountain of cereal bowls filled with the "Other" fibre cereals!!!

His voice was so deep and powerful, able to convey such drama to a spoken part.

Immensely proud he is a fellow Canadian!

Bump!

He was the master! I was surprised that this thread was only begun in 2010!

I listen to the old time radio programs on Sirius and hear Mel's voice on so many of those shows from the 50's...one of...

I always loved T.P.O.H. !!! They had a great sound...I remember Universal Honey...the lady sang on a live album with the Northern Pikes...so cool you got to have dinner with them.

And RUSH is...

Also should mention Platinum Blonde and Honeymoon Suite...Alanah Myles had a couple of catchy songs 20 years or so ago.

Neil Young seems pretty popular and I really like Bruce Cockburn and Gordon...

Boy the young Oilers sure lit the lamp tonight...looked like shades of the early 80's with Gretzky, Messier and company. Taylor Hall looks more confident each game and Jordan Eberle is going to make...

Did anyone see the incident in Minnesota last night where Vancouver player Rick Rypien went after a fan in the crowd when he was getting tossed out of the game? He is lucky he didn't throw a punch at...

I had a bit of a brainstorm...wouldn't it be great if one of the old, major casinos like the Flamingo Hilton or the Riviera made a special wing to display Liberace's museum?? I think that would be a...

Battle of Alberta round two tonight and here's hoping the Flames actually show up this time...that 4-0 pounding was embarrassing!

How about those Leafs?? 4-0 start for the first time in 17...

Well, this is it...the final weekend for the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas...I will be only one week too late to get a chance to see it before it is gone.
...

Yeah, I definitely get that the NHL does not love Balsillie...I guess his take no prisoners approach to storming the league didn't go over so well. I still think a team in Hamilton would make for one...

Hey Duster...don't you think they had better break up the Leafs before all their long suffering fans have heart attacks from their 3-0 start to the season??!!! What a complete 180 from their start...

Jack Benny and Liberace! That was hysterical! I am sore from laughing so hard! Where ever did great shows like that ever run off to? Wish we had that kind of musical and comedic talent displayed in...

I read about the museum closing and I am saddened. I know my parent's generation adored his music. I will be in Vegas just a few days after the museum closes so I will miss my chance to check it...

He was a legend...so sad that we seem to be losing the greats at such a phenomenal rate these days.

So sad...just when the guy seemed to have turned his life around WHAMMO...gone. I can't help but suspect that the cocaine did damage to his heart that made his health a ticking time bomb. He was like...

Dang, I hate to give Bettman credit but it sound like he did have a good plan in spreading hockey's magic to new frontiers. I think that is part of the new found interest in the game in the States...

It was a great season and a great big congrats to the very youthful Blackhawks who will likely contend for the Cup for a few years yet!

Now I am sad as the withdrawl begins...NFL pre-season is...

That was one barn burner of a game! What a lot of goal scoring that was! I had been expecting that kind of game all series long.

Game 6 on Wednesday is going to be monumental. The 'Hawks have the...

The remaining survivors of D-Day and indeed of WWII itself are leaving us at an alarming rate these days. It is critical that those of us who remain keep the memories alive and pass along the...

A sad anniversary of a major tragedy. No matter what actually happened, it is so hard to grasp that a single, simple man could have so easily ended the life of someone so full of promise. I really...

Well the Cup Final is now a best of three affair and I am somewhat surprised at how the 'Hawks have let the two games to none lead evaporate. Philly is totally outplaying Chicago and you are right...

That story about "Dr. Hockey" is great!

After watching last night's game, I think this series is going to go the full 7 games and be decided on some controversial play in a multiple overtime...

That is a fantastic collection Kelt! I was just reading about his funeral yesterday and it said that his children from a previous marriage were not allowed by his current wife Deborah to attend their...

Game three tonight and I think things are only going to get uglier...this is going to be a very violent final...with the shenanigans going on between Byfuglien and Pronger and all this is going to...

I am more than a little surprised that yesterday was the 30th Anniversary of Ian Curtis' death and this post marks the first entry in almost two years! Holy cow!

I only caught on to Joy...

I love the movie he shot in Canada in 1941 called "Captains of the Clouds" which was a patriotic yarn about some Canadian bush pilots who decide they need to help the war effort by volunteering as...

I really don't think he truly understands a Canadian's passion for this game here...he wants the NHL to be among the elite of U.S. major sport leagues but this game will always be most passionately...

Thanks for sharing this Dan...I have the same reaction when I hear her sing...some of it is the beauty of her singing and some of it is my sorrow that she has passed on at such a young age. I think...

Agreed, Duster. Bettman is totally anti Balsillie after the whole Nashville Predators debacle a few years ago...it will take a minor miracle for him to get his mitts on an NHL franchise anytime soon....

So the Sharks are the first team to advance to the third round and Chicago could join them in the Western Final with a win over the Canucks tonight. Doesn't look like Canada will be bringing the...

She was someone who was gorgeous no matter which shape or size she was...someone that beautiful can pull off a more Rubinesque look no problem!

The Canucks had better learn to stay outta the "sin bin" or they will quickly find themselves down 2 games to 1 in this series! Intensity is one thing but being stupid will have you golfing long...

The Sharks are starting to show some of the true potential they have squandered away in previous years...that was one hell of a come back last night...Jimmy Howard looked downright awful on the tying...

The third period is going to be UGGGGLEEEEEEEE if someone doesn't score a goal soon! I thought the Molson Centre was going to implode at the end of the second period there!

No need to hide! It happens all the time on here! Looks like the mods have answered your prayer and merged threads...it is nice to see this thread back at the top. She was an earthbound angel for...

Sorry Giada....there already was a thread for the beautiful Eva...you might enjoy reading some of what has been said in this thread...she was one of a kind.
...

And show up they did last night! I think this by far and away the most exciting matchup of the second round thought I am also glued to the Habs/Pens series just to see the magic that Halak has been...

That is a simply wonderful story Duster...it is so nice to see a story like this given some proper awareness. I think there are some great human beings in just about every walk of life but I sure...

That was one spiffy looking car!
