Florence Henderson, the actress who played perky mom Carol Brady in the beloved family sitcom, says she once got crabs after a one-night-stand with career politician John Lindsay, who was the mayor of New York City at the time.

Henderson, now 77, recounts in her upcoming memoir that she was cheating on her husband during the 1960s, and gave in to her better judgment when her married and unattractive friend put the moves on her over drinks at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Weeelll...what a gracious lady she is.

In a follow up memoir, retired New York cab driver Butch Jaworski admits to having contracted crabs from Florence Henderson following a ten minute tryste he had with the actress who didn’t have enough cash for her fare so she chose to pay Butch via a sexual favor back in the 1960’s.........

You guys reached the highwater mark of newspaperdom when Al Goldstein put his periodical on the street.

So, Daily Post, Weekly News, those were the days:

Jamrock Magazine Brooklyn Times-Union The City Sun (weekly) Colored American (weekly) Daily Graphic Der Groyser Kundes (Yiddish-language weekly) Freedom's Journal The Freeman Freie Arbeiter Stimme (Yiddish-language) Guardian (United States) (weekly) Long Island Press Ming Pao Daily News (Chinese-language daily) New York Age / New York Age Defender The New York Blade (weekly) New York Clipper New York Daily Mirror New York Dispatch New York Enquirer (twice weekly) New York Evening Mail The New York Globe (two newspapers) New York Graphic New York Guardian (monthly) New York Herald (daily) New York Herald Tribune (daily) New York Journal American (daily) New York Mirror New York Press (historical) The New York Sporting Whip New York Sports Express The New York Sun (daily) New York Tribune (daily) New York World Journal Tribune New York World-Telegram New York World New Yorker Staatszeitung (German-language weekly) PM (newspaper) Spirit of the Times Staten Island Register The Sun (New York) M

So, don't get snippy with me young'n, I've seen more NY City periodicals go down than you've ever seen in existence.

It was, after all, a diplomatic reception. He had to behave with some decorum.

Ah, diplomatic, eh? Too busy digging at other people's crotches...

[fortheDeclaration]

I think it was a misprint, not caught in the editing.

As it is written, it doesn't make sense.

You keep on making the most patently ridiculous assumptions!LOL

I well remember a whole lot of now defunct N.Y.C. papers, as well as many now defunct department stores. When I was growing up there, there were eleven daily newspapers and that's not counting the foreign language and weekly ones.

Your newspaper list is pathetically incomplete! You left out The Village Voice ( still going ), The East Village Other ( defunct ), Amerikai Magyar Szo ( Hungarian ), The N.Y. Examiner, and quite a few others, defunct and still in print.

Since when, exactly, is the now defunct "SCREW" in the same category as a real newspaper?

Just how "young" do you assume I am ? LOL

[nopardons]

Either a very glaring misprint, that some editor missed, or a rather peculiar sentence! Still it’s in the same weird vein as calling Lindsay “unattractive”.

[muawiyah]

Screw was very real ~ and at the pinnacle of NYC reporting quality. He even backed his opinions up with scientific notation and devices.

BTW, I have a list somewhere in my files of all the New York publications that were run out of business in the 90s ~ kind of interesting. That list I cited really is kind of short.

Our office kept the record of the approved Periodicals Class publications.

I think we knew something about the newspaper disaster quite some time ago.

[Ax]

WHO would dig at a Saudi’s crotch?

[bigheadfred]

That a trick question?

[nopardons]

Oh please..........SCREW was far from being a real newspaper and your list of N.Y.C, papers was pathetically short and lacking!

Are you bored or just a masochist, who enjoys being humiliated in public?

I don't care one whit for your files...........I lived there, read many of the papers long gone, even if it was only the funnies section, for longer than you've known that such papers ever existed.

“Here’s the story
Of a horny lady
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold
Like their mother
Who screwed politicians for pearls.”

[muawiyah]

Yeah, I lived here and got the chance to READ all of those papers and many more ~ even the foreign entries ~ because they used to send the copies supporting the applications for this and that down to the office.

Lot of them were entertaining. Many of them were garage. (That's a New York word that means GARBAGE BTW).

TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

FGS, Flo, close your mouth (and your legs.)

[nopardons]

"garage" ?

Nope, no New Yorker, from any era and/or neighborhood, in all five boroughs, says or write "garage" for "GARBAGE"; not even virtual nonEnglish speakers.

Okay, I do get it now...........you are a masochist, but also someone with a far bigger ego than brain power/IQ, who is also bored.
