YOU HAVE NO HUMILITY!
I'm auditing a course in Personal Growth at the
local community college to get help in that area.

Yes, I think so! (libraries). Yeah, it would be hard to beat his post level. LOL.
Some poor kid who wanted to do his homework had to wait while DGF did one
liners on this forum.
Kind of strange to do it at the library, but to each their
own. I also enjoyed his stories about the senior condo he lived in.

Not to be morbid, but I tend toward the big sleep theory too. At first, I thought
DGF might be on a vacation, but after a month or so that seemed less plausible.
And being the prolific poster he was, it seemed unusual he would stop so suddenly.
Maybe my memory is bad, but didn't he post from the library, and libraries rarely
go out of "business." On a sunnier note, he's still number one in posts by a fairly
large margin.

Ukelele players rarely inspire confidence, at least with me.
Very true. They are almost always of a very dubious character. Never did
trust that Arthur Godfrey guy. And that landlord's skimpy mustache is
another red flag.

As for Nancy and femme fatales; I assume she didn't love either Danny, her husband, or Rocky, but only herself. She was just using both of them to get ahead and it was easy for her to dump one and pretend to love another when that was the better option. This is straight out of the How to Succeed as a Femme Fatale playbook.
Yep, Rhonda is looking out for...Rhonda. That's what makes the first viewing of the
movie a bit more interesting. I wasn't really sure if she was on the level or not.

I love that pic of Carlin. He looks like he's playing the friendly alien from some
1960s TV show. I bet Robbie Douglas wore a swingin' medallion. Yeah man.

Yeah, no running water in the boys trailer.....
And it seems there was not much of it in the communal shower either.
And the landlord didn't exactly inspired confidence. The south of France
looking better and better.

Yeah. Why hang around? As it appears she didnt love (her hubby, the guy in jail) Not a well thought out character. But since she hadnt expected Rocky to be sprung, maybe she was trying to cover all the bases.......
That's what femme fatales do. I saw this movie a few years ago. Outside of the trailer
park setting and some of the supporting characters it's a fairly routine flick, though
still an entertaining one.

i dunno, i don't think it was that bad as far as trailer parks go...There is and has been for some time a pretty avid trailer-life community all over southern california...although i think they've lost out on some prime real estate in the last couple of decades (i know there were communities in Laguna Beach and Malibu.)
Rhonda's place was nice enough, but that thing the two men had to share was pretty
awful. No wonder they spent so much time out driving around and drinking. (And it
seems the communal men's shower wasn't much to brag on). Every few years I see
an article on upscale trailer parks that look very good, but I doubt the trailer park will
shed its home of last resort image anytime soon.

Yeah, come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing Bob sportin' a Nehru jacket with a big ol' medallion hangin' around HIS neck while asking newlyweds about "making whoopie", and like I remember Lange sportin' for awhile and while he hosted The Dating Game.
(...and so your point is well-taken here, Mr. V)
Plus, Jim was the host of a swingin' singles game, whereas Bob was
the host for the ball and chain crowd.

Are you sure it wasn't Bob Eubanks???

Yep. Compared to Bob Eubanks, Jimmy was one hep cat.

Q: Do you think the fingerprints found at the scene may help you solve the crime?
A: Yes, the fingerprints should help us solve the crime.
The stories are usually interesting, but she sure isn't. Maybe she is the producer of
the show and gets a better deal from ID.

Whereas, Rhonda didn't seem to be holding much of a torch for hubby and
whereas, $50,000 is almost $500,000 today, if I were her I'd be on a flight
to the south of France, far away from that crummy trailer park.

A really creepy guy. On a more positive note, Paula Zahn is finally on hiatus! 7 LONG MONTHS.......
I didn't even think of Paula Zahn until you mentioned her. The ID schedule isn't
exactly one you can count on. I'm hoping the series about the deadly feuds between
neighbors comes back. That was one of my favorites.

Yeah, I think he's on Death Row now. (LOL). I saw that episode on some Dateline ID show.....
Yes he is. I too likely saw it on an ID show, just didn't recall the details. His appearance
on The Dating Game is on YT, not the original version but one of the later syndicated ones,
though Jim Lange is still the host.

If I were a bright boy I could figure it out, but I'm not.

Yes, the dating game killer/ Rodney Alcala was picked but the woman chose not to go out with him because he was too weird.
Thanks for the information. I had forgotten the details. She certainly
got some bad vibes from him and made the right decision.
-
I wish I had a nickel for every time Bob Eubanks used the phrase make whoopee.
One of the serial killers in a true crime show I watched was a contestant on The
Dating Game. Can't recall if he was picked or not. He likely had more important
things to do anyway.

Come to papa Mink, bennie baby. I'm flying tonight, daddio. Don't give me theslip, I'm hip, waiting for that cool mothership. Hey honey, you see my bongodrums around?
Death In Small Doses (1957) Peter Graves, Mala Powers, Chuck Connors.It's 1957 and a specter is haunting America, the specter of...DRUG ABUSE. Thistime it's truckers hooked on amphetamines, bennies, happy pills, truckers' friend.(Jack Webb did this better in his rapid fire style on the 1960s Dragnet). It's a seriousproblem that calls for gov't investigation. Peter Graves, with his usual non-modulatedperformance, plays the gov't agent who heads to LA to go undercover as a truck driverto bust the bennie ring. He finds lodging at the house of a trucker's widow who rents roomsto truckers between hauls. Mala Powers plays the widow, a gal with a nice pair of headlightsas a truck driving man might put it. It is there that Peter meets fellow truck driver Mink, playedby Chuck Connors. Mink is a hoot, a bennie gobbling guy who spouts endless hipster chatter.Mink loves nothing better than to get in his benniemobile, head down to the local gin milland grove to some cool jazz. He's no square, daddio. Not exactly the usual image one has ofConnors. Without Mink the film would be a pretty pedestrian tale. Graves eventually discoverswho is peddling the bennies and to his sorrow Mala, who he was getting serious with, is involved.Ouch. As the cops lead Mala away, the audience is relieved to know that the bennie ring has beenbroken up and they can travel the highways and byways of the good ol' USA without having toworry about hopped up bennie goblers out on the road. Not a bad little Allied Artists low-budgetflick with a few nice touches, but nothing very special. By far the best part is hipster Mink, whoelevates this thing slightly above the average.-

Escapism was baked into the studio era years. Expecting a lot of realism at
the movies from that period would be like going to the circus and expecting
the ringmaster to recite Chaucer. So knowing more or less what to expect,
I just sit back and enjoy it for what it is. And what was never great in the
first place can never be made great again.

So I gather. I think I may have heard of Art Bell, the radio personality, but
probably forgot about him. I don't listen to the radio much anymore.
Sometimes, I don't want to believe.

The only Art Bell I recall is a gay dude who wrote a gossip column for
The Village Voice called Bell Tells, but he's been dead for decades.

Naturally it would be in the basement of an old house. They
never hide it in the family room of a brand new ranch house.
That would be so unnoir.
