Sorry I'm late. Hi, everybody!

PS: re Popeye: Bluto was Bluto and then became Brutus. Why? I dunno.

Now's as good a time as any to ask: Did Brutus at some point have his name changed to Bluto?  Or have I had the name wrong all these years?


nope, Bluto was John Belushi's character in Animal House.


Actually, both names were used:

WOS to "He Knew."  Just a little too corny for my tastes, and a little obvious too (did they think the Xian component was veiled?).

Freddie, on the other hand, knew more than me or you.

When I was little my Dad would pack the fam in the car and we'd go to the drive-in movies. I remember when we saw Smokey & the Bandit. Ah, good times. We laughed like hell (for better or worse- my parents had given up on trying to keep profanity out of our young lives).

Hey Y'all it's March Madness time, go to KFOG to enter your picks.  Unlike the football pool this is an all-at-once thing, fill out a complete bracket one time & then you're done.

VHM to the lovely Ms. Perfect.  Her entire body of work is a study in restraint; I wonder if she ever did a freakout song.
