Smock, Smock......I loved Steve Allen and met him in person at his book signing. I loved the Man on the Street with Louis Nye , Tom Poston & Don Knotts. It was sad to see only 10 or 12 people at his book signing.
I used to sneak downstairs and watch him (quietly) so I wouldn't wake the folks.

Steve Allen was one of a group of guys who were the first people to import Honda motorcycles (1st gear - its alright) . I don't know if he stuck with it but if he did I'm sure it made him a bundle of money.

Have you seen the new program 'Get a Room' with Carson Kressley and Thom Filicia yet?

It's a scream....that Carson is silly and he always make me laugh.

We had our 1st Honda dealer here locally in 1963 or 64. The owner of a small local hardware store was at some trade show I think in Chicago or LA and got talked into signing up for 5 of those original Honda motorcycles/scooters. He sold them all the first week he had them on display and the rest is history. The family eventually got out of the hardware business and now sells all brands of motorcycles (except Harley) , snowmobiles, jet skis and ATV's.

I used to deliver to one of his Honda motorcycle dealerships. He had a bit of an ego but wasn't that bad.

What was funny was when it first started they claimed it wasn't going to be political.

... how did that work out?

I like the new Chevy ad that uses the lyrics from a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.

Who owns the song?

Who owns the song?

Probably the M. Jackson estate or the Prince estate. They seen to have bought up the majority of the songs that were ever popular.

Funny I’m a Chevy/gmc guy and I think it’s s terrible commercial. Cringe and change the channel every time it comes on.

The Beatles songs plus a bunch of others.

So what do you think of their "new" tailgate step gimmick? Personally I think it's hokey.

Hokey is a good word for it.

Marie is still busy doing diet commercials but I haven't heard anything about Donny in years.

Donny was last seen tip-toeing through the tulips- that silly savage.
