That green makeup made Margaret sick, and the silver paint almost killed Jed Clampet.
Man, Hollywood in ‘38: ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’.
Todays actors are poosies.

I wouldn’t want to own anything original. I would just be inclined to create replicas. It is the same to me.

Good ‘to’ the last drop. I was always wondering what was wrong with the last drop that it wasn’t good including the last drop.

There are four pairs. The Smithsonian has one, two are in museums, and one is in private hands.

I was in Disney World when Trump beat Hillary. The next day we went on The Great Movie Ride. When we got to the Wizzard of OZ scene, I screamed along to ,” ding, long the witch is dead l” at the top of my lungs. She was very liberal , and gave me the dirtiest look. 🤣🤣🤣
