She was asking what kind of dog it was that she saw on TV. I said it is the same type as Spuds McKenzie...... She said "Who is Spuds McKenzie?"

Yah - ok. So I remember too many of them. Still have an all aluminum Christmas tree somewhere, including spinning base and rotating color light. Can any of you other old buggers remember Marlin Perkins' side man? I always loved it when Marlin would stay in the studio and send ???? out into the field to tag alligators and wrestle with grizzly bears. First and last name please.... |
