Culture Lyle Waggoner, Tom Hanks and the Pole People.

Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Heh.

Below is a picture of the famous "pole people" found along a highway running alongside my housing development.

Nobody knows who keeps "dressing" these people and note that they are now dressed for St. Patrick's Day and have "protection" to protect from the mighty virus now rampaging across our country.

Lyle Waggoner, Actor on 'The Carol Burnett Show' and 'Wonder Woman,' Dies at 84



May he rest in peace.

My but he was handsome.

He auditioned for 'Batman,' posed as the first centerfold for 'Playgirl' and launched a successful business catering to Hollywood behind the scenes. Lyle Waggoner, the actor with the leading man looks who spent seven seasons on The Carol Burnett Show before portraying versions of Steve Trevor a generation apart on Wonder Woman, has died. He was 84.

Waggoner died Tuesday in Westlake, California, after a long illness, his son Jason told The Hollywood Reporter.

The hunky Kansas native famously screen-tested in 1965 to play the Caped Crusader on the 20th Century Fox-ABC series Batman, but the job, of course, went to Adam West. Later, he posed for the centerfold of Playgirl magazine's premiere issue in June 1973.

Waggoner had been on an episode of Gunsmoke and in a couple of forgettable films when he was hired to serve as the announcer on CBS' new The Carol Burnett Show, which went on the air on Sept. 11, 1967. (Producer Joe Hamilton, Burnett's husband, was searching for a "Rock Hudson type.")

Trump brushes aside report that White House staffer used term 'kung flu' to refer to coronavirus 

Once there was a Hong Kong flu.  Once there was a Spanish flu.  They were named, supposedly, after the countries from whence the virus originated.

Now all of a sudden we're not allowed to call it the "Chinese virus"?  People are getting insulted?

What a bunch of goofballs live in America.  Most of them are not even American.

"A person at the White House used the term 'kung flu.' My question is: Do you think that's wrong?" Alcindor asked again.

"No, not at all. Not at all," Trump said, adding that Asian Americans "probably would agree with it 100%. It comes from China. There’s nothing not to agree with."

Tom Hanks has 'the blahs' as he and Rita Wilson recover from Coronavirus

Somebody tell Tom Hanks we all have the blahs out here across the fruity plains.  Not to mention having lost most of our life savings in our 401K.

Eat it up Tommy.

Tom Hanks says he feels the “blahs” but has no fever as he and wife Rita Wilson remain in isolation in an Australian residence, after being discharged from a hospital following their coronavirus diagnosis.

A representative for the Oscar winner confirmed on Tuesday that the pair were no longer hospitalised. Hanks himself said he was doing chores and getting beaten at cards by his wife as they remain self-quarantined.

“Hey folks. Good news: One week after testing positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: my wife has won six straight hands of gin rummy and now leads by 201 points,” he posted on social media on Tuesday evening.

Instead of a photo of himself or his wife, the post showed an old Corona typewriter that he travelled with “that I used to love”. The actor is pursuing a side career as a writer, publishing his debut short-story collection in 2017. “We are all in this together. Flatten the curve,” he added.
