USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Camp Run-A-Muck ~ WooHoo! ~ April 11 2003

[tomkow6]

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

Saddam Hussein's son comes home from shopping with everything in a
cardboard box...

His dad says, "Why have you brought the shopping home in a cardboard
box, son?"

To which his son replies,

"Because there's no Baghdad!"

Death Valley Days

1952-1970, Also 1974 Syndicated
Black and White/Color - 30 minutes - 532 episodes

Produced by Flying A Productions

Death Valley Days Original Intro:

"As the early morning bugle call of the covered wagon trains fades away among the echoes, another true Death Valley Days is presented by the famous Borax family of products- 20 Mule Team Borax and Boraxo. "

Death Valley Days Hosts

Stanley Andrews from 1952-65 (as The Old Ranger)
Ronald Reagan 1965-1966
Robert Taylor 1966-1968
Dale Robertson 1968-1972
John Payne 1972-1975
Merle Haggard 1975

This anthology series ran for many years, presenting stories of the Old West, often filmed right in Death Valley.

Perhaps it is best known for two things, the host (Ronald Reagan) who became President of the United States, and the intro. Many people confuse this intro with that of Wagon Train. The tipoff is the MULES, as in 20 Mule Team Borax.

I Love Lucy Theme Song

"I Love Lucy" by Harold Adamson and Eliot Daniel

"I love Lucy and she loves me
We're as happy as two can be
Sometimes we quarrel but then
How we love making up again
Lucy kisses like no one can
She's my Mrs. and I'm her man
And life is heaven you see
'Cause I love Lucy
Yes I love Lucy
And Lucy loves me! "

GOOD MORNING ALL. WELL....I thought I was gaining very close to being an "old (womanly) fart" but I have to admit I have no clue to who Pinky is. So, I guess I am a little shy of being an "old (womanly) fart." But, here are a few of my favorite that I was able to find:

[beachn4fun]

[beachn4fun]

HOW ARE YOU THIS MORNING? I have a lot to do today, so could you try to keep tomkow under control today? I thought you did a good job yesterday.

[firewalk]

Good morning (-:

[Bethbg79]

Good morning B!

You mean it's possible to control him? I didn't know..lol

[beachn4fun]

Ah .... Glad you could join us today. Have fun...... And, yes, I almost forgot the Rifleman ...one of my favorite westerns, and of course, love the Red Skelton show and the Three Stooges. Also, Abbott and Costello. Thanks for the memories.

[snippy_about_it]

What the heck is that? Got links? Pictures. Sounds like a cowboy of the everglades. lol

[beachn4fun]

Well, I know it is a struggle, but keep throwing those faces and wise come-backs at him as you did yesterday. It keeps him busy and he doesn't have time to wreck havoc at the Canteen.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks for sharing that little tidbit!

[beachn4fun]

It sounds very familiar, but with age comes less memory cells, so I am at a loss to remember it. But I believe it was like a cop type show where they worked in the Florida everglades.
