Man, I _loved_ that show. Especially that dirty old guy on the park
bench.

You sir have just dated yourself rather severely.

Oh, damn. "Do you believe in the hereafter? Well, then I guess
you know what I'm here after..."

You would not have known about that unless you were...

Er, Old?

Yes, old.

Or possibly just suffering from premature Senior Moments.

It was "Gary Owens". Not the guy who wrote the tune for the 7th Cav,
but "This is Gary Owens saying 'this is Gary Owens.'"

Carl Rowan was some nut in a tree suit, thought he was the fourth
singer in the Trio "Oak Ash and Thorn".


In an act of supreme hypocrisy, leftwing syndicated columnist and
gun-control champion Carl T. Rowan shot and wounded an teenaged
intruder who was taking an unauthorized dip in the swimming pool of
Rowan's Washington D.C. home. The handgun used by Rowan was
unregistered.

Well, isn't he just "special". I knew that, but was wondering if
anyone else had heard of "Oak Ash & Thorn." Only group I've ever heard
sing "To Acheion in Heaven" a-cappella. [That's the tune used for the
"Star Spangled Banner". Lovely tune, but meant for four voices, the
proverbial fish quartet: couple Tunas, Barracuda and Bass.] [They sang for
scale, and were always good for a fin apiece.]


Whale, as the Saigon Cats used to say, "time to Di-di meow"
