Even though Courtney is out of town (at a dude ranch in Wyoming), and Gus Bodenheim will be hosting from the poutin' shanty, I will be on duty with playlist coordination and comments moderation. You should expect to be on your best behavior, even though Gus may not reciprocate.

Ultra - true, true, so true about not inviting Flip and Krazy to the same soiree. Tough crowd. There's rumors that Krazy poisoned Valentino. Flip once drunkenly confided that he did something dastardly and framed Fatty Arbuckle. Don't trust either when they're plushed to the scuppers.

@dale: Ipana did no wonders for Booker T. Bodenheim's complexion when he slathered himself in 14 tubes of it in order to infiltrate the Klan for his exposé for Jet magazine, "Blacked Out Like Me." (Who knew the KKK used moonshine so copiously in their rituals?)

Not to be confused with his even more volatile cousin Sirhan Bodenheim Bodenheim.

Because she and Ethel Shutta stole that Radio Stars poll from Ruth Etting?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:46pm

@dale: BTB and his barrister F. Lee Bodenheim call that a "win-win" situation. Or was that a "wine-wine" situation? They have a tendency to mumble at times.

The entire clan is associated with endless mayhem.

When they came over from who knows where, their name was shortened at Ellis Island. It was Bjodenheim.
