Barbara Lang made a couple of appearances on the Bob Cummings Show, a pretty good TV series from the 1950s.

1:13pm DRATSUM:

What movie does the “kick a mudhole” sample come from?

1:14pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Yeah, what ABOUT some cat records??

1:14pm David in London:

Handy, the squirrels have been fed, and fresh supplies of beer and chocolate purchased. So all told, things aren’t too bad today.

1:17pm Pedro in Arlington:

President Truman promised an Army Air Corps B-25 would airlift reverb to Staten Island. Apparently the pilot got confused and airlifted new cardstock for Strat-o-Matic baseball on LONG Island.

1:17pm Earth Walker:

Bark howl meow
Ye haaaaa

1:18pm tater luver:

@hh, what's yr secret for great totchos?

1:18pm RetroArt:

Barbara Lang?! "House Of Numbers" is an awesome prison-break flick from 1957 with her and Jack Palance (playing a duo twin brothers role) and Edward Platt (the Chief from "Get Smart") as the hard-assed warden of San Quentin. Worth a viewing.

1:18pm Papito:

Alone with the HIFI at Full Blast and getting Weird !

1:20pm RetroArt:

In the late 1980s I had to commute every day from St. George, S.I. to Manhattan by ferry to go to NYU. Walking that steep hill of Hyatt St during the cold, icy winters was an adventure.

1:20pm David in London:

There’s probably a supply of Her Majesty’s reverb in Bermuda. I could make a request to have it flown up to Staten Island?

Hey Earth Walker. How are you man?

1:22pm woim:

My morals have suspenders....they've been suspended for decades

1:22pm Rex:

Dratsum- That "mudhole" clip is the great Slim Pickens in the deeply disturbing movie "Poor Pretty Eddie"

1:23pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Got a pork butt stewing on the stove and an oven full a beans. Let's get this show on the road.

1:24pm Rex:

Retro- Hyatt Street is as steep as ever!

1:24pm Rex:

Retro- Hyatt Street is as steep as ever!

1:24pm choggie:

@DRATSUM its Slim Pickens from Blazing Saddles

1:25pm Rex:

Juke Joint! Send some of that savory pork my way!

1:25pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Poor Pretty Eddie takes nerves of steel to sit through

1:25pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Will airmail you a taco when it's ready

1:26pm Rex:

Yippee! Taco time!

1:26pm choggie:

ooops, the Rex is more righter! Listen to Rex, he knows all schlock

1:27pm Mister Dobalina:

M O M M A!

1:27pm RetroArt:

Rex- I had to trek from the top of the hill on Fort Place all the way down to the Ferry terminal. Rain or shine. The late nights walking back up the hill through that area was...interesting. More like I ran home at night.

1:28pm woim:

A taco tune is in order...i just broke a nail on a bbq pistachio and i need to dance it off !

1:31pm Handy Haversack:

Was back in time for the wingding! But it takes a full 20 mins. to go to the corner and back and disinfect the beers. But all is well! I'm cracking open a cider. MOMMA, the show sounds great!

1:35pm Fragonard:

Mamma

1:35pm Juke Joint Jonny:

It's a paradox!

1:35pm dave wuz here:

ziti the dog would like to complain about "all the godamn cat songs"

1:35pm Handy Haversack:

Lulu the cat is pointedly ignoring the whole thing.

1:35pm Rex:

I buried the lead! Barbara Lang also dated Elvis!!

🌮

1:36pm Tony in Durham NC:

Oh my heart be still. Hey, what day is it? Does anybody know anymore!?!?

1:37pm RetroArt:

When I was a kid there was a funky chinese restaurant in St. George, maybe on Central Ave, that was even in the late 1970s a place out of another time. Wonder if it is still there? Like a Schezchuan style Brigadoon.

1:37pm egould310:

My Dog’s a Cat https://youtu.be/jwD6B3dRY8Y

1:37pm Fragonard:

I met someone who dated Elvis

🌮

1:37pm Tony in Durham NC:

AM I EVER GETTING BACK TO WILBER'S BBQ?!?!

1:38pm Fragonard:

(Elvis once had a dog and a cat)

1:38pm Rex:

Yes! Wilbur's in Goldsboro...on the way to Kinston

1:38pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Check out Barbara Lang getting some inside dope on our air defenses!
i.redd.it...

1:40pm woim:

I ate at Wilbur's in 1962...i kinda liked Scott's better tho

1:40pm WM:

Rex: I finally did some research on one of your film excerpts ("My morals have no zipper...") from The Scarf and discovered that the actress, Mercedes McCambridge, (as I'm sure you know) also provided the voice for the demon Pazuzu in The Exorcist. Thanks for furthering my knowledge of both American musicological and film history.

1:41pm Handy Haversack:

Those are some highly weaponized shorts on that flyboy.

1:42pm Choggie:

Watched The Pushover w Fred Mac Murray and Kim Novak last nite....Ms Novak's hogans looked like they were in 3D!

1:43pm Rex:

WM- That's why we're here: To dispense useless knowledge that no one asked for...

1:43pm Choggie:

....couldn't stop starin'!

1:43pm woim:

I always thought that 'zippered morals' remark sounded like Susan Tyrrell

1:43pm David in London:

WM, MM is also one of the gang of disreputable juveniles who kidnap Janet Leigh in ‘A Touch of Evil ‘.

1:45pm Choggie:

That flick The Scarf (zipper murals quote) is a great one, hard to find

1:45pm Mister Dobalina:

Wholly Little Lord Fauntleroy, this show has been stellar so far!

1:45pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Howdy Rex & Foolish Co. Might have to venture out and get some interesting beverages. Down to Voodoo Ranger, which ain't actually so bad.

1:45pm Michael Shelley:

Mmmmm Biscuits....

1:45pm Handy Haversack:

Disreputable! That's what they say about the North London Runzas!

1:45pm listener 126464:

🌮

1:45pm Hackensack Slim:

Oh Yeah! Mr Rhythm!

1:46pm David in London:

Juke Joint Jonny, that photo is brilliant. And the caption pretty much writes itself.

1:46pm woim:

Sop it in Bacon Grease !

1:46pm David in London:

They do Handy, but never within our earshot, you get me?

1:46pm RetroArt:

I am now REALLY hungry

1:47pm Juke Joint Jonny:

It's on its way to been a single entendre, David in London!

1:47pm Creature Boy:

I honestly don't know why they won't pass this guy a biscuit!

🌮

1:49pm Hackensack Slim:

@Juke Joint Johnny Sometimes a Nose Cone is just a Nose Cone.

1:49pm Handy Haversack:

¡Up the Runzas!

That pic's entendre also papers over the fact that American air superiority was apparently achieved through putting pointy sticks on the planes.

1:52pm WM:

The cultivation of useless knowledge - one of the guiding principles of my life! I was greatly influenced by the essay On the Value of Useless Knowledge by Alfred Jay Nock.

1:53pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Good one. Are there any Yahtzee themed jump tunes out there?

1:54pm woim:

granmaw woulda boogied to this un fo sho

1:56pm Rex:

WM: Disquisitive adoxography! Look it uo!

1:56pm Doug in JC:

So the biscuit guy was actually a ghost, right?

1:59pm Handy Haversack:

That's right, Doug. And the real biscuits were inside us all along.

2:00pm Doug in JC:

*cue rainbows and hand holding*

2:00pm David in London:

I never really knew the value of the biscuit until the biscuit was gone.

2:00pm woim:

Sorry Martians , we've already been invaded !

2:06pm RetroArt:

1957's "House Of Numbers" starring Barbara Lang & Jack Palance: youtu.be...

2:07pm WM:

Adoxography: Beautiful writing on a subject of little or no importance. Another knowledge nugget from Fool's Paradise!

2:07pm mariano:

Did somebody say Runzas? Let's rumble!

2:09pm Handy Haversack:

Three Runzas -- that's a quorum! It's on!

2:11pm David in London:

Hey Mariano. Yeah, the Runzas are ready to rumble. (With suitable Link Wray background music).

2:13pm Richard S:

Thanks, RetroArt! I have a movie to watch tonight!

2:14pm mariano:

A veritable triumvirate -- a trirunzarate! Hi David. I forgot to post this link from the Onion last time we crossed paths, thought you might get a coupla yuks out of it: politics.theonion.com...

2:19pm woim:

The ANGELS are practicing anti-social distancing

2:23pm RetroArt:

Joe E!

2:24pm David in London:

Mariano, ha ha, that’s brilliant. Mind you, as I’m gradually transforming into Gandalf the Grey during this lockdown, I probably shouldn’t be throwing any stones in the tonsorial glasshouse!

2:25pm woim:

Joe E Joe E ohh baby now

2:26pm Doug in JC:

I played at the Lyndhurst VFW in 1998

🌮

2:32pm Hubig Pie:

All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds

2:33pm woim:

zackly

2:33pm mariano:

David/Handy: Every time I see a picture of BoJo I can't help thinking about that line from Withnail & I about "this huge, thatched head". wolm: Voltaire only uses disappearing ink.

2:35pm Handy Haversack:

"Geoff Wode is feeling better."

2:35pm Don F.:

Great Porky chazar imitation.

2:36pm woim:

All ink is disappearing, Mariano...

2:36pm Fragonard:

Tttt-too M-mmuch

2:39pm David in London:

Mariano, Handy - let’s face it, all roads eventually lead back to W&I. I think we’d better make Grant and McGann honorary Runzas.

2:39pm RetroArt:

"FROGS"! The first movie I ever saw.
