Ray Rayner should have gotten the patent for Post-It Notes. He did have turtle races, but don't forget the ill-tempered Chelveston the duck, and the trips to Lincoln Park Zoo with Dr. Lester Fisher

'Chelve' was funny after he got old and cantankerous, but how about Ray trying to do a project and after he screwed it up royally, then he'd show Chauncey's version and it was perfect, very funny.

I was able to sing it from memory to type it in :)
I feel so sorry for today's kids who have to watch the crap that's on now for them

Shock of my life when I recently found out Svenghouli is now being carried in Milwaukee on TV41. I forgot all about that show!

Oh, man! I remember the ORIGINAL Svengoolie, Jerry G. Bishop on "Screaming Yellow Theater" - that was for Fridays on Channel 32, but Saturdays was always "Creature Features" on Channel 9.

How about Bob Luce Wrestling on Sunday mornings?

Andre Dawson?

There is no better Hot Dog than a Chicago "Vienna Beef" Dog with the works.

Tell me about it. I got one for you, speaking of cantankerous, how about Len O'Connor on Channel 5?

I remember going to my Grandma's on Sunday, and she wouldn't go talk to my parents till it was over. Dick the Bruiser, the Crusher, Moose Cholak, Pepper Gomez etc. She would get all excited and scream at the screen in Polish whenever Bobby Heenan would interfere.

All I can say is '588-2300' and everyone from Chicago will know who I'm calling!

I'll see you and raise you P.J. Hoff and Warren Culbertson!

I dunno, but why do the Eye-Ties claim this sammich as their own? Heck, it's what any white boy WASP calls a roast beef sandwich ;-)
