then who was the bird with the crooked beak?

Are you talking about Gonzo?

He was a vulture, in love with Camilla the Chicken.

Set them up like that one and I will hit them out of the park.

Speaking of which, we did not celebrate one of my Top Ten good things from the 1970s. The Disco Sucks rally:

The Day Disco Died in Chicago

I remember Real People, but I can't remember the names of the hosts.

Skip Stephenson, Sara Purcell, Byron Allen and ... okay, someone help me out, the older guy with the bad toup, I think he was actually the producer of the show ...

God bless you! If I can help at least one person with this ridiculous stuff taking up the space in my brain, it makes it all worth it!

Frontier Freemont was a rip off of Grizzly Adams, I seem to recall.
