Gratuitous Hee Haw Birthday Salute

Junior Samples.jpg

I notice from Wikipedia that today is the anniversary of the birth of Junior Samples in 1926 in Cumming, Georgia.

It is an indication of my extremely warped background that for all the Frasier Crane-like pontificating I do on subjects of culchah here and elsewhere, I still find myself sometimes saying, "The numbah t' cawl is BR Fahv Foah Nahn."

It's a complicated life.

Thanks, Junior.

I think I bought a used car from Junior one time. He acts like a dumb hillbilly on the lot but just wait until he gets you into the financing room, he's a shark.

BR549 my A$$, did you ever notice he always had the hot chicks with him?

Listen to Junior talk about the 'world record bass' he caught and ate.

Ah the memories of youth.

My daughter's first language is Chinese, but the first English song I taught her was "Where Oh Where Are you Tonight?".
