Yeah, but this photo, like almost all others, do not show below his knees. That hat covered balding, but also gave him a few inches. A quick google search for his height came up empty on half a dozen sites that show this info for other celebrities. Back then, you could keep secrets; no more in this instant video/photo/internet era!

Or maybe she just seemed "bigger than life" to an ogling 12 year old?

I still barf at ML, though...

Nobody mentioned the "Beard guy" from the Canadian band Walk off the Earth. Mike Taylor just passed in his sleep the night of Dec 30th. WOTE is probably better known for their youtube videos covering other songs- but they have some great original stuff.

Edgar Hilsenrath, a German Jewish survivor of Nazi persecution who
unsentimentally stoked the embers of the Holocaust with brutally satirical
autobiographical novels, died on Sunday in Wittlich, Germany. He was 92.

Dead at 87 Herb Kelleher, co-founder of Southwest Airlines. The story of how this business was conceived from notes on a cocktail napkin into what it is today, the largest domestic airline in the U.S. is amazing and entertaining. Chain smoking whiskey guzzling Herb was was a larger than life icon in the industry I’ve given 35 years of my life. You will be missed old man by some of the guys at the weekly keg party. That’s right a company sponsored event every Friday. Very Happy

As a child, I always wondered how a few farmers with mules delicately picking individual coffee beans managed to keep the world supplied with coffee.

That was an ACTOR and not the REAL Juan Valdez ???? They lied to us all !!!

Next you'll tell me that the bean buyer on the TV commercials was also an actor, even though he said "I'm the bean buyer for Hills Brothers"....
