Fuddrucker's Comments: Might that be it? (see
below) I recall a place with sides of beef hanging behind glass when
you walked in and watching them fresh grind the meat. Was long ago for me.
I think the franchise is still in business, but they dropped Freddie from
the name.
I believe the original 1984 Fuddrucker's location in Tulsa was 72nd &
Memorial where Lanna Thai is today, also formerly Tulsa Brewing Co. There
is currently a Fuddrucker's on E. 71st St.
Fuddrucker's is a running gag in the Mike Judge movie previous to his
current "Extract" (just reviewed
by Chew), which is
"Idiocracy".
Chew himself keeps this tasteful dialog going in the next GroupBlog

September 06 2009 at 23:28:56 Name:
Woody Topic: "Soundies: A Musical History" Email: RainAsancedotcom Comments: Some weeks ago I watched a fascinating show on PBS
called
"Soundies:
A Musical History", hosted by Michael Feinstein.
This program was about a machine that was popular in the forties and lasted
into the early days of television. It featured, a large attractive wooden
box, which housed a 16mm film loop of popular performers and some newcomers.
Through a series of mirrors, the film was projected onto a large glass screen,
easily viewed by the public. One inserted coins to start the process and
you had no control of what you were going to see. Each musical number ended
when a piece of lead tape passed over a sensor and stopped the film.
These films were shot very quickly in Hollywood and some of the talent played
either for free for the publicity, or the usual rate of $25.00
I was surprised to see a teenage Cyd Charisse as a lovely singer. Same for
Yvonne DeCarlo. Also a clip of Ralph Blaine and Hugh Martin with their quartet.
Ralph looked to be in his twenties. Other major players in their youth like
Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, all the unknowns who became the greats. Doris
Day as a band singer, etc.
I was hoping I could find this show available on PBS website, but such was
not the case. I Googled it and there are a number of sites that feature the
program, but they want to sell it to you. Perhaps the genius Webmaster can
find a way to this treasure, should you have an interest.
Many of these short films were done in one take. With some of these talents,
one take was quite enough.

for years. Help please!
Could it have been UR Cooks? That's the only place I can think of with

Kennedy Comments: The celebrities are leaving us in droves! Senator
Edward Kennedy certainly had an amazing career and might have been President
if not for the Mary Jo Kopechne episode.
In 1969, I was a reporter at WTTG-TV, Ch-5 in Washington and covered the
Kennedy’s return to the Senate following that tragedy. It was a news
conference involving the ABM Treaty and Teddy was among seven or eight Senators
in attendance. I stood right next to him and his hands were shaking noticeably
probably in anticipation of taking questions about Mary Jo. But the Capitol
Hill press corps was kind enough to avoid the topic.
My only other Kennedy close encounter was covering a news conference at Hickory
Hill, Ethel and Robert Kennedy’s mansion, in McLean, Virginia. The thing
I remember most about that day as how kind Ethel was to everyone, including
the soundmen and lighting technicians. Bobby had been assassinated only the
year before.
The Kennedy clain certainly had their share of triumphs and tragedies. RIP
Edward M Kennedy.

Had the good fortune to meet him a couple of times, most recently at the
Wagoner City Library where he did a short lecture on writing childrens books.
I'll never forget how thrilled I was to hear him end the thing with a hearty
cry of "I'll be lookin' for ya!". Wildly entertaining and funny.
He seemed to be a bit taken aback when after it was done, I asked him to
sign a picture that I believe I actually printed off this very site. But
he was so gracious about the whole thing. Sadly, my kids got hold of it and
destroyed it, but I still have a hand painted bookmark made by his wife that
Carl gave me.
Even sadder, just two hours after hearing the news about Carl, I got the
news my grandmother had just passed. I know your childhood slips away eventually,

R-I-D-E-S-H-Y were dialed on the telephone, you
were indeed connected to one of Tulsa's most famous brothels.
I think we found the number scrawled on a bathroom wall's For-A-Good-Time-Call
section at a local Der Weinerschnitzel. Somehow after numerous prank calls,
we managed to 'make an appointment' and were directed to a house behind and
directly west of the old Camelot Inn. The house was just recently razed as
part of the I-44 expansion project.
As high school kids would, we launched the most heinous assault of taunting
and outright vandalism that we could muster. After all, what were they going
to do? Call the police? It started one night when John's mother gave us the
remains of their Thanksgiving bone-in ham. Naturally, we took it to the residence
and threw in through a window. Don't try this at home! We should've been
shot!
Another night we egged a baby blue Lincoln Continental parked there, only
to be chased by the owner/driver from one end of the expressway to the other
several times. We assume the Lincoln was low on gas; at least lower than
John's mother's Blue Country Squire station wagon. Lucky for us.
We continued to harangue these poor people for months, driving cars through
the yard, throwing water balloons, eggs, biscuit dough from cans, and almost
anything else at the front of this house. We even went to the door on Halloween
wearing masks to get a closer look. No one came to the door, only a quickly
pulled back curtain revealed a woman's face. As we were leaving a taxi drove
up dispatching a customer clutching a brown paper bag containing a large
bottle. This cemented our suspicion that the location was still entertaining
guests.
Finally, after months of harassment, a few close friends took up a collection
one night and dared each other to take the funds and complete a real transaction
at RIDESHY. Money rolled in more quickly than a volunteer to claim it, but
eventually one of our own took the dare. After successfully making a
'reservation' over the phone, we were directed not to the residence we tormented,
but to a motel just east of Peoria that still stands behind Waffle House.
As I.. er the volunteer climbed the stairs to the appropriate room number,
he became filled with the terror of the 'what ifs'. What if she's hideous?
What if I get busted? What will I tell my parents? What if I catch a horrible
disease? He thought about turning and running away, but the gang was in the
parking lot ready to ridicule any 'chicken', so he knocked anyway. There
stood a scrumptious woman in her thirties with long hair and huge breasts.
I.. er I mean HE walked inside the room sheepishly as the call girl quickly
disrobed. "See anything you like?", she queried.
What took place next I'll never forget. Although a brief encounter, it was
also memorable. Exiting the room sans cash, I arrived at the car to a chorus
of cheers. He did it! He did it! As we were leaving, that very woman walked
out of the room and down to a parked car across the parking lot. It was only
then we realized to our dismay that it was a Tulsa County Sheriff vehicle.
She bent over and passed something to the occupant through the driver side
window. We never called RIDESHY again!

that even though Uncle Zeb loved the kids, he wasn't going to put up with
any of their shenanigans.

Bartholomew Comments: Dad considered Carl his best friend. They have always
enjoyed a beautiful and fun friendship. And every time they hung up the phone
they said "I love you".
Marilyn had said Carl was painting the condo last Thursday. He was a real
trooper and stayed active through his years of coping with Myelodysplasia.
We never ever heard him complain. As Marilyn reminded us, he did not have
to go through pain and suffering, he went pretty quickly. That is a big part
I think of the surprise for all of us. He was just so present and seemed
like himself.
Last night dad stayed up most of the night watching "Cole Justice" a few
times, Carl's wonderful movie. I told dad this morning after finding out
that Carl had passed around 1AM our time, that Carl probably got a kick "seeing"
dad watching his movie. We thought that was the best way to hold vigil for
Carl.
We will never forget this man who was larger than life and who lived life
in every moment. We not only lost Carl, the creative genius and good man
that he was, we also lost the great Uncle Zeb, who entertained kids and even
more I think, the adults. We still love watching copies we have today. He
was a riot!
We all surround Marilyn now in love and prayer as she bids the love of her
life goodbye for now.
We are all here in California but we will be there in spirit at Carl's service.
I can still hear him saying " I'll be lookin' for ya!" and he will be, for
all of us, when we join him someday.
Happy trails Carl...until we meet again.

Carl was very particular about his cartoons. None of that Harveytoon stuff
on his show. Only Warners and the B&W Popeyes. He and I got along really
well since we both loved old movies. I can remember him working on a movie
promo and he had a clip from Bride of Frankenstein that he loved. It's the
