HAPPY TUESDAY GUYS AND DOLLS:
Let’s wake up those brain cells today with a little who was born, kicked the bucket and happening stuff on this date.
CAME OUT SCREAMING:
1889 – Fannie Hurst – Novelist, get her mixed up with the candy lady Fannie May. 1915 – Victor Sen Yung – Good old cook from Bonanza Hop Sing and of Charlie Chan fame.
1922 – Little Orphan Annie made her debut in the funnies.
1926 – Chuck Berry – Rock and Roll man.
1928 – Keith Jackson – Sportscaster, “We got a barn burner going here.”
1933 – Peter Boyle – Actor, movie Joe (a 1970 film very good one), most famous for Everybody Loves Raymond.
1939 – Harvey Lee Oswald – JFK assassin, Joey Z still thinks it was all a cover-up.
KICKED THE BUCKET – NOBODY FAMOUS TO ME.
STUFF:
1776 – A NY bar was decorated with a bird tail, one customer orders a cocktail – I don’t know if that a real fact or not.
1873 – Columbia, Princeton, Rutgers and Yale set rules for college football – Go Tigers.
1922 – The BBC is born.
1924 – Notre Dame beats Army 13-7; the running backs are dubbed “The Four Horsemen.”
1954 – Hurricane Hazel hits the US. I remember old Hazel.
1968 – Circus Circus opens in Vegas.
1977 – Reggie Jackson smacks 3 consecutive homers and Yanks win their 21st series.
That’s enough stuff, now for food. Today is “NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE DAY.” A favorite of this writer, I like them with icing or not. Nothing like a fresh baked cupcake sitting on the stovetop and filling the kitchen air with pure delight. I do miss those Tasty Kake chocolate cupcakes and their cream-filled ones too. Have fun today Speakies and be careful out there.
