Sadly Ed McMahon, Carsons sidekick passed away on Tuesday. He was not a weirdo super freak but an ex WWII Marine and a fighter pilot in the Korean war.
Ed showed a lot of courage risking his life for his country. His many, many years entertaining America every night is a side issue.
Lots of folks died this week, most of them I don't know. Of these 3 "stars", I won't miss any of them. My good buddy and golf partner died last week, him I'll miss.
FF was born in 1947, and so would have been 18 in 1965.

Not only would she have been 18 in 1965, she was, ye tiresome pedant.
Speaking of tiresome pedants.... the point was that most 18-year-olds are amply able to "do justice to a bikini".
*face-palm*
Well put, Jack ... all the hoopla and canceling of regular programming to run prime time specials on, and venerate, a sleazy child molester who took advantage of a "justice for sale" legal system, was a thoroughly disgusting display of misplaced sentiment ... but, about what we've come to expect from a shallow, ignorant, media driven, culture.
Can certainly relate.
Ever thought about sitting in for Andy Rooney some week end?

WHO?
When these people can even think about trying to do Ella's material, let me know.

Or Etta's ... if you haven't already, rent "Cadillac Records", worth it.

The original point was that Farrah Fawcett was not the hottie in the Noxema "take it off" ads. The bikini business was to indicate her relative youthfulness in 1965. Your pointing out her actual age when the original ads were made is pedantry.
I'll leave it to anyone who gives a rat's ass to decide how tiresome the whole thing is at this point.
