Some excerpts:<br /><br /><i>So a quick question unrelated to Maurice Chevalier (the dude from Monkey Business. . . .):<br /><br />Is Sheriff John Chance not going to enforce the "talentless, ugly [expletive deleted]" clause and keep off comments by that lumbering sack Lon Chaney?<br /><br />I mean, NOW I understand why people feel afraid to walk these virtual streets -- they're afraid his ugly mug will pop up again. I felt like those nice young boys in the Delta house when they saw Kent Dorfman's picture.<br /><br />Please, Sheriff -- spare us.</i><br /><br />Douglas has been taking lessons in How To Win Friends and Influence People from Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina and they are beginning to pay off! As we all know, Kent Dorfman is an indispensable component of that classic comedy <i>Animal House</i>, and while it's true he isn't pretty to look at, I think I speak for all the fellows at Delta house when I say I can't imagine a world that doesn't include his chipper reading of the immortal line "May I have ten thousand marbles, please?" Ten gallon hats off to D.Fairbanks for recognizing that fact and noting that he is equally happy to see L.F. Chaney's mug in the comments section.<br /><br />As for the rumor of a "'talentless, ugly [expletive]' clause," like the so-called death panels in the proposed health care legislation, it simply doesn't exist. So our esteemed pal, Doug Fairbanks, need not worry. He's welcome anytime and despite being 126 years old, no government bureaucrat is going to take him out back and shoot him.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-79875555215477195652009-09-14T07:44:57.458-04:002009-09-14T07:44:57.458-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Douglas Fairbankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618933609577319699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-18830841867354925082009-09-13T22:22:26.138-04:002009-09-13T22:22:26.138-04:00By the way, I encourage those of you with a pencha...By the way, I encourage those of you with a penchant for blood-curdling horror to zip over to Who Am Us Anyway's blog and listen to Maurice Chevalier's rendition of "Jolly Ole St Nicholas."
