They say he wasn’t nearly as explosive after his knee surgery after the 1965 season; I probably first saw him a year or two later. So consider this: in his past his prime late Bernard King years, 1966-67 to 1969-70, he averaged 25.4/11.6/4.6, made 4 ASG, his PER was 5th/4th/5th/7th, and he made 1st Team All League 3 times.
he was horrible at playing "Get the Guests"wikkidpissah said:

And the fat guys were automatically Billy Paultz, or more affectionately, The Whopper.
I can recall a game between the Bulls and Pistons that had Granville Waiters and his epic receding hairline, and Kelly Tripucka rocking a mullet/perm combo.
Glad she got a 2nd act on Arrested Development cuz she was the member of the LoveBoatIronsideWelbyGuestShot/NowIsSheTheOneMarriedToRobertWagner? '70s actress vortex who could actually act. RIP -
For some reason, I can picture Lucille Bluth holding a martini and saying "I’m not familiar with her work but she looked amazing for 80."
If you spend any time on MeTv, especially the cop shows, she's ubiquitous.
I've never read anything about this, but it seemed the Malory Archer character was a spot on re-casting of her Lucille Bluth character.
I read an obit of her today that said it was exactly that. The casting call explicitly mentioned that they were going for a Lucille Bluth vibe. Her agent saw it and said to her, if you're interested in the role, let's call them. She was and they did.CletiusMaximus said:
Earlier than that she was in the movie Grand Prix. Released in 1966 and directed by John Frankenheimer.Don Quixote said:

I always laugh a little too much at his scenes in that movie, especially "I threw a bunch of Grandpa Chip’s war medals off the bridge."Tom Servo said:
Veteran and all around great guy by the sounds of it. Good looking dude, outgoing, jovial - such a shame.
It's been 40 yrs anyway since i boarded a plane without either a Thomas Harris or Larry McMurtry (sooo similar) book for my inflight reading. The Thalia series is so dense with what we are that we almost forget we're in the middle of nowhere without a plan. Plenty other good'ns, but McMurtry's path to heaven need be no better paved than with Lonesome Dove. Novels & miniseries, pure and poignant as dawn sky. RIP -=
By most accounts he was a flaming ####### but, my God, could he write. Lonesome Dove is still the best novel I've ever read. I was shocked when it won the Pulitzer. Not because it wasn't good enough, but because I didn't think books like that could win.
Wow, brings me back to reading in elementary school. 104, that's amazing. May she rest in peace. :(
She was a treasure! If you have grandkids get her books for read alouds. I couldn’t get enough of Ramona back in elementary school.
I don't have kids, so that's out. I read English kid's books, mostly Enid Blyton. And Dr. Suess of course.
Then just get a couple from the library for yourself. Beezus and Ramona is good. And Henry and ribsy.
Those were staples in my elementary years - and the Wednesday Witch, while I'm strolling down memory lane. They were right up there with Charlotte's Web back in the day.
Interesting career. If he doesn't leave Miami for an ill-fated USFL job prospect in 1984, then the whole "The U" phenomenon probably doesn't even happen.
Horseman, Pass By (made in to the movie Hud, but quite different), Leaving Cheyenne & Last Picture Show (i think they're McMurtry's first 3 books) are a series and they're right up your alley thematically, if not genre-wise. Base existentials - broiling fusses over bleak circumstance - told like a story 'round a fire. Read em casually and let em sneak up on you. Lonesome Dove is right there with the big novels - the obvious and obscure, done in grand style
I liked reading "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" when I was a kid.Clown Car said:
