He also had an E! True Hollywood Story made about him.
We still talk about the Bumpus' hounds next door.
"Hopefully he's not still sticking his tongue to a pole."
eeeeewwwwwww!!!!!!
"Young man, do you know where that pole has been???"
I just absolutely love 'A Christmas Story', and I always have one of our TVs set constantly on 'A Christmas Story ', so that no matter what I am doing on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, I can peek in and watch for a while...I always manage to set 2 hours aside, somewhere in all the business of the Christmas season, to watch the film in its entirety...its just such a great movie...
I guess I just love it so much, as it takes place during the time frame, just a little before my time....everything looks so familiar in that movie...kids wearing galoshes, wearing long johns and sweaters in the house to keep warm, the old car, the haggling at the Christmas tree lot...
And the old man(Darren McGavin), just slays me with his facial expressions...when he offers Ralphie a glass of wine on Christmas morning, I am reminded of my own dad and my uncle who lived downstairs, who always offered me and my brother and my cousins a drink of wine of Christmas morning...(it wasnt bad, but it wasnt good either...we must have been drinking the same wine as they were, it was Mogen David wine)...
That movie just takes me completely back to my childhood years, and good years they were...
I see Boobies......
It's a major award!
Did Phil ever grow up, though? I think not. He's still a liberal.
Is it true Chuck Connors also did Porn ????
Where?
Wasn't it Flick who got in trouble because Ralphie told his mom that Flick had told him the dreaded "F" word when it was REALLY Ralphie's old man?
Ha Ha Ha But that's an insult to Peter!
I found it to be an incredibly vulgar movie. The language was unreal for kids of that time.
Fragile`! It must be Italian!

I thought it was Schwartz, that Ralphie got into trouble over the 'F' word...but Ralphie did not really care, he figured the kid deserved punishing for something...
I just went to the Post Office and told the postal clerk that the item I was sending was "fra- gee-lay" and everyone started laughing!!!
I just about passed out when I was watching Leave It to Beaver a few months ago. The Beav was the only guy at an all-girl birthday party and went into the den to get away from them. There are rifles up on the wall and Beaver is looking at them intently. The father, also hiding out in the den to escape the girls, asks Beaver, "Do you like guns, son?" "Oh yes, I sure do!" You'd never see that today. I'm surprised they even let it play on re-runs.
