MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“What do you think this is, Hicks Corners? Some people is too lazy to vote, that's all. They don't like this kind of weather. Some of 'em is sick in bed and can't vote. Maybe a couple of 'em croaked recently. That ain't no reason why Mayor Tillinghast should get cheated out of their support. All we're doing is getting out the vote.”

#WilliamDemarest (1892–1983) was #BornOnThisDay.

He’s best known today for #MyThreeSons but he was also an Oscar nominee w/ more than 140 film roles!

#BOTD #WilliamDemarest is right up there for me with #EdwardEverettHorton, in that I'll pretty much watch any film he's in.

Besides the Preston Sturges films, I love him as Smiles Benson in WEDDING PRESENT.

NYJ, Gamal Abdel Nasser was on the cover of Time ($.20) the week I was born, it's great to have so many regional restaurants these days but I still like Cantonese best. #ManfredTheWonderDog #CrabbyAppleton #BlueAsh #XTC #PeterHam #AlexChilton #ChrisBell #IfIWereABell #SitDownYou'reRockingTheBoat #PoliticsandPoker #HowardDeSilva #BillHickey #WilliamDemarest #EdwardEverettHorton #Terrihuahuas #JardineParrots #ThePoisonwoodBible #JosephConrad #Groucho #MottStreet #WashingtonSquare #TheAgeOfInnocenc
