Blazing Saddles would never be allowed near a theater if it were a new release today. Too bad.

Makes you wonder what in the wide wide world o' sports is-a goin' on here.

I think that's right....although one had a Brooklyn accent, the other a British accent.  But they've disappeared along with Speedy Gonzales, and the Tijuana Toads, and Forghorn Leghorn (parody of rednecks?  I haven't figured that one out).

Foghorn Leghorn was based on Senator Beauregard Claghorn, a radio character on the Fred Allen Show played by Kenny Delmar. I read an interview with Delmar, who I think was from Boston, he said the idea for the character came from a train trip he took where he sat next to a long-winded Texan who talked like that.

He made a movie, too: http://www.archive.org/details/its_a_joke_son (no way would this be made today).

Heckle and Jeckle were always said to be magpies in the cartoons. Sure they didn't look anything like magpies, but since when do cartoons look accurate?

Yes we have magpies, more in the western states.

I figured you named him after Arthur Lee.  :P

IMO the T-40 balances well. It's still heavy and I wouldn't want to do more than a 30-45 minute gig with one.

Good for you! And when his friends see and hear it, it may bring even more builds for you.

That looks like an original 2-point on John's.

I have Vista Business on my laptop, can't think of any reason I would want to upgrade. Besides, I would have to go to 7 Ultimate to get all the features I have now.

That makes it even worse! All that ethyl alcohol going to waste... although maybe there are some happy sewer rats.

No, you never forget. I can't even learn to finger chords differently from the way I learned them. Too ingrained. That's probably a good thing.
