As I mentioned above, "Honestly, I couldn't care less..."

I can understand that, but that is just something I never have wanted to do...

Unlikely scenario… Dogs are too smart to do the dirty deed with them…

Best country on the planet…. Yes we have our faults like all others, but I would never want to live outside of the United States…. Been asked if I want to see other countries, and I tell them I do not as why would I want to visit a country that isn’t the best…

Yeah…. Michael Berryman…

We had Wisdom panel as well when our pup was tested...

LOL @ the mustache cup...

LOL I actually kind of pictured seafoam as the guy that sold Charlie two chickens in The Devil's Rejects... NSFW due to language...

Yes... We got a free one when we adopted ours during Thanksgiving weekend in 2020... The largest was 37.5% for a American Staffordshire Terrier... Damn sweet dog...

Probably will suck... The one with Arnold was campy and was done that way on purpose... This one will probably try to be too serious...

Ah yes, forgot about that... Gratitude...

Maybe, but look it up... >>> LINK <<<

I don't think "wallah" is correct...

He died... Seriously though, cancer maybe?

That can be changed at any time... Maybe not when closed, but you can hide votes or make votes public at any time...

Holy cow...

She has missed a fair amount of time this year... Plus she was struggling shooting from distance...

They just need to be careful with the upcoming CBA discussions so they don't kill any momentum the league is having right now...

Isn't seafoam always a scumbag?

Just saw this on MLB Network... Dead at 74... RIP Cobra... https://www.mlb.com/news/dave-parker-dies His skill was as supreme as his style and swagger. His exploits on the field were the stuff of legend, like the Minor League home run he hit in West Virginia that landed in a coal car and wound up in Columbus, Ohio, or the time he literally knocked the cover off a baseball. His words were often boastful and always unforgettable. “When the leaves turn brown, I’ll be wearing the batting crown.” Few players have ever been as talented or entertaining as Dave Parker, the Hall of Fame outfielder nicknamed “The Cobra,” who spent 19 seasons in the big leagues and ranked among the game’s best at his peak with the Pirates in the late 1970s. Parker passed away on Saturday after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 74. Parker’s decorated career included the 1978 National League MVP Award, two World Series championships a decade apart, back-to-back NL batting titles, three Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards, seven All-Star nods, the ’79 All-Star Game MVP Award and MLB’s first Home Run Derby title in ‘85. The intimidating outfielder racked up 2,712 career hits with a .290 batting average, launched 339 homers and drove in 1,493 runs from 1973-91. Parker was a trailblazer for his peers who drew the ire -- as well as the frequent insults, assaults and threats -- of some fans. Before the 1979 season, he signed a five-year, $5 million contract that made him the first professional baseball player to earn $1 million per season. He was one of the first pro athletes to wear an earring. His poetic, bombastic quotes led teammates to call him the Muhammad Ali of baseball. “The sun is going to shine, the wind is going to blow, and Dave is going to go 4-for-4.” His legacy was complicated by his cocaine use and involvement in the Pittsburgh drug trials of 1985, however, with some believing that was what ultimately kept him from being elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He spent the then-maximum 15 years on the ballot, but only topped out at 24.5 percent, then fell short on the Modern Baseball Era ballot of 2019. “He should be in Cooperstown,” former Reds teammate Eric Davis said in MLB Network’s 2019 documentary “The Cobra at Twilight.” “And not as a visitor, either.” He was finally elected in late 2024, joining late slugger Allen in the Class of 2025 through a vote from the Classic Baseball Era Committee. Parker needed at least 12 of 16 votes and got 14. When word came down, he told MLB Network, “I’ve been holding this speech in for 15 years.” He will be posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, July 27, in Cooperstown, N.Y. Born on June 9, 1951, in Grenada, Miss., Parker was one of six children of Richard and Dannie Mae Parker. The family moved to Cincinnati five years later, and Parker became a three-sport athlete at Courter Tech High School. He was a star running back, but doctors told him his football career was over when he injured his knee after being hit during his senior season. That moment, Parker would say, changed his life. In the 14th round of the 1970 Draft, the Pirates took a chance on Parker, a high school catcher with a bad knee. By 1972, he was the best prospect in the defending World Series champions’ system. He debuted in San Diego on July 12, 1973, the summer following the tragic death of Pittsburgh legend Roberto Clemente. As a five-tool right fielder for the Pirates, Parker drew early comparisons to Clemente. For as brash as he could be, Parker wasn’t having it. “Everybody was talking about me being the next Roberto Clemente. That wasn’t what I was trying to achieve,” he later told MLB Network. “I was trying to make my mark as the first Dave Parker.” Parker established himself as a regular in 1975, beginning a six-year run during which he batted .317 with an .891 OPS. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound slugger was one of the game’s most feared hitters -- the Steelers’ “Mean” Joe Greene once claimed he initially mistook Parker was a football player -- and most confidently quotable players. Parker once wore a Star of David necklace. Why? “Well, I’m a David,” he told The Washington Post, “and I’m a star.” There is an iconic photograph of him wearing a T-shirt that reads, “If you hear any noise, it’s just me and the boys boppin.” After fracturing his cheekbone during a collision at home plate in June 1978, Parker missed a handful of games then came back wearing a black-and-yellow hockey goalie’s mask at the plate. As former Pirates teammate Kent Tekulve once said, Parker was such a spectacle on the field that you didn’t stop to admire what he did. You kept looking to see what he was going to do next. The reigning NL MVP lived up to his landmark contract in 1979. He was the MVP of the Midsummer Classic in Seattle after unleashing a pair of outfield assists -- one to third base, the other to home plate – that looked like they were shot out of a cannon. And he was the best player for that championship Pirates club remembered for their “We Are Family” theme song at Three Rivers Stadium. “Dave belongs in the Hall,” Mike Easler told MLB.com after Parker was elected to the Hall of Fame. “He was one of the best players of his era. Those four, five, six, seven years, he was one of the best players in his era.” After another All-Star season in Pittsburgh, Parker began to put on weight and got injured in the early 1980s. After the ’83 campaign, he signed with his hometown Reds and began the second act of his career as more of a leadership figure. He was rejuvenated on the field, too, despite the drama around the Pittsburgh drug trials, finishing second in the NL MVP voting in 1985 and fifth in ’86. Traded to the A’s at the 1987 Winter Meetings, Parker continued to be a leadership figure and veteran hitter for Oakland clubs that won the American League pennant in ’88 and the World Series in ’89. He spent 1990 with the Brewers, earning his final All-Star nod and Silver Slugger Award while batting .289 and mentoring a young Gary Sheffield. His playing career ended in 1991, his age-40 season, as his numbers dropped off with the Angels and Blue Jays. Parker’s life changed again during a routine checkup in 2012, when a doctor noticed his hand trembling on his leg. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the same condition that afflicted Ali. It was stunning news to everyone who knew him. As Tekulve wondered, “How can this happen to him? He’s invincible.” Parker’s wife, Kellye, cared for him throughout his fight with Parkinson’s -- the treatment, exercise and frequent trips to the doctor. She was also by his side when Parker returned to Pittsburgh for the 40-year reunion of the 1979 champions, beaming as he received a standing ovation from the crowd at PNC Park. “I almost cried,” Parker said in 2019. “That’s something I try not to do, but that brought tears to my eyes.”

https://deadline.com/2025/06/young-frankenstein-reboot-series-mel-brooks-fx-1236442366/ EXCLUSIVE: It’s alive! It’s alive! A comedy series based on Mel Brooks‘ classic 1974 film Young Frankenstein is nearing a pilot order at FX, Deadline has learned. Brooks is said to have given the project, titled Very Young Frankenstein, his blessing and will executive produce with a trio of creatives from FX’s What We Do in the Shadows: Stefani Robinson, who would serve as writer and showrunner; Taika Waititi, who would direct the pilot; and Garrett Basch. Also executive producing are Brooks’ producing partner Kevin Salter (History of the World, Part 2, Spaceballs 2) and Young Frankenstein producer Michael Gruskoff. 20th Television is the studio. Details regarding the reboot are under wraps. Here is the plot description: Inspired by Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein. Previously, on What We Do in the Shadows, Colin Robinson, a main character in the series, was turned into a baby who had to grow up all over again. Whether or not the show creatives have something similar in mind for Very Young Frankenstein is unknown. Casting for the pilot has yet to begin. Young Frankenstein is a parody of the horror genre, including films inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, Frankenstein. The horror-comedy starred Gene Wilder, who co-wrote the screenplay with Brooks, as Frederick Frankenstein, grandson of mad scientist Victor Frankenstein. It’s important to note: The younger Frankenstein pronounces the family name as “Fronkensteen,” to distinguish himself from his ancestor, whose unorthodox experiments have brought the American scientist shame. When Frederick inherits his grandfather’s Transylvania castle, he wants to prove Victor was not insane. Alongside Igor (pronounced as “Eye-gore”), whose grandfather assisted Victor in the lab, the pair attempts to save the muddied Frankenstein name by creating their own monster. What could go wrong? The black-and-white film also famously starred Peter Boyle as the monster, Marty Feldman as Igor, Cloris Leachman as Frau Blücher, Madeline Kahn as Frederick’s fiancée and Teri Garr as Inga, among many others. Brooks played multiple characters, including voicing Victor Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein is the latest of Brooks’ classics to be adapted in the 2020s. Hulu gave his 1981 film History of the World, Part 1 a sequel sketch comedy TV series treatment with History of the World, Part 2, starring Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes and Nick Kroll, with Brooks serving as the narrator and executive producing. Brooks’ out-of-this-universe 1987 feature Spaceballs has a sequel film from Amazon MGM+ currently casting. Young Frankenstein was adapted as a Broadway musical, which debuted on November 8, 2007. A live musical event based on the musical was in the works at ABC in 2020, but the network didn’t move forward. Brooks’ other popular films include Blazing Saddles (1974), High Anxiety (1977), Life Stinks (1991), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) and The Producers (1967 and 2005).

Interesting, since this site has only been around since August 1997...

https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/entertainment/rick-hurst-death-scli-intl Actor Rick Hurst, best known for playing Deputy Cletus Hogg in the hit sitcom “The Dukes of Hazzard,” has died at age 79. His death was confirmed by Ben Jones, his co-star on the show, who posted a message on the Facebook page of the Cooter’s Place museum, which is dedicated to the show, on Thursday. “It doesn’t seem right that Rick Hurst passed away this afternoon. When something so unexpected happens, it is ‘harder to process,’ as the current expression goes,” wrote Jones. “I have known Rick for over 45 years and there wasn’t a minute of that time that he didn’t leave me smiling or laughing. Sure he was a professional comedian, but mostly he just had a heart as big as Texas,” he added. “He was a fine actor, a splendid comic, and a wonderfully supportive colleague,” said Jones, who recalled how “everything clicked” when Hurst joined the “Dukes of Hazzard” cast. “He fit right in and never stopped making people smile until this afternoon. And since the Dukes is still playing all over the planet, he will continue to make us laugh!” he wrote. “I don’t know about y’all but I believe in an afterlife, and I can see Rick up there in Heaven with Jimmy Best and Sorrell Booke and Denver Pyle, putting on the funniest show inside those Pearly Gates,” he said, referring to other “Dukes of Hazzard” cast members who have died. “Rest in Peace, old friend!” added Jones. Hurst had some success early in his acting career, including appearing in 24 episodes of TV series “On the Rocks” from 1975 to 1976, but it was “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which follows the fast-driving Duke brothers as they attempt to outrun the authorities in the fictional Hazzard County, that made him a household name. Hurst appeared in 55 episodes of the CBS series from 1979 to 1982, before leaving to appear in “Amanda’s,” a US remake of the popular British TV series “Fawlty Towers.” In the decades that followed, he appeared in various TV shows and movies, making his last appearance in a TV short called “B My Guest” in 2016. --- RIP Cletus
