SHAKEY SATURDAY FINALE
The final photograph..out of beer... and I stabbed the offending empty can with my big ass knife..Ghurka hat still hanging off my knife handle..looks like a dead soldier Schlitz on the VW roof...Pants look like I was already in a fight or pissed myself...can't remember who owned the VW..I might have stolen it..but I am certain I jumped in it and drove to the liquor store for more beer !!!!
SHAKEY SATURDAY PART 2
Just ran across this photo which must be the photo taken before I spit beer on whoever took this picture and the beer spitting photo (SEE SHAKEY SATURDAY PART 1). I have my hand on my trusty knife (not a Khukuri knife..couldn't find one back then) and, if you look hard, you can see my Gurkha hat hanging off the knife handle. Until I saw this photo I had forgotten about my obsession with the Gurkhas..a fierce fighting crew from Nepal...mercenaries... much like the French Foreign Legion but much tougher. Still in operation and used today by the Brits, U.S.A, etc..an elite force called on to do the dirty work, lead the charge, and butcher the enemy. I loved them back then..wanted to join the FFL or the Gurkhas but instead spent about a year or two strutting around with my Gurkha hat and knife and getting into all kinds of trouble..
"IF A MAN SAYS HE IS NOT AFRAID OF DYING, HE IS EITHER LYING OR IS A GURKHA"

HARRY VON ZELL
Announcer for the George Burns and Gracie Allen show back in the 50's (sponsored by Carnation evaporated milk), Harry Von Zell had a distinctive voice and great stage presence. I remembered him from the Burn's and Allen show as I was trying to figure out who my professor reminded me of in a class I took as an undergraduate. Advanced Expository Writing was supposed to be an easy 4 hour "A" but turned out to be a nightmare for me. You were required to actually go to class, read, and write. The saving grace was the professor. He looked and talked just like Harry Von Zell..I told him so..but still only managed to squeak by as very average.. with points deducted by the truckload full for non-attendance and inattention...

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
The show ran from 1958 to 1961...I got my Marr's Laig early on.. complete with a box of caps so I wouldn't run out of ammo....I think I was 11..
