2-Year-Old Girl Takes The Ice Bucket Challenge For ALS

We’ve been bombarded with Ice Bucket Challenges for ALS by superheroes, famous athletes and celebrities.  One super-classy challenge was fulfilled by Sir Patrick Stewart. 

In the video embedded below, a two-year-old girl, apparently from somewhere in the UK, is ready for her challenge.  Listen carefully.  You can hear her say, “I want to challenge…I nominate Ma, (unintelligible) and Tom.  Here we go…”

Immediately after she’s drenched she drops the British version of the “F” bomb…”fookin’ ‘ell.”

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

Throwback Thursday For July 31, 2014

“House Party” ran five days a week on radio from 1945 to 1967 and on television from 1952 to 1969.  The highlight of the show was a segment in which five children between the ages of 5 and 10 sat down to be interviewed by Art Linkletter.

One boy told Linkletter that his father was a policeman who arrested lots of burglars.  Linkletter asked if his mother ever worried about the risks. “Naw, she thinks it’s great.  He brings home rings and bracelets and jewelry almost every week.”

Linkletter once asked a child, “Did you see Santa this year?”  The child answered, “See him?  I fixed him a bourbon and water.”

Linkletter’s obit in The New York Times noted that his interviews with the children who would “say the darndest things” made their parents wish television had never been invented.

Throwback Thursday For July 24, 2014

Blogger friend Woodsterman gave me the idea for today’s Throwback Thursday.  His blog post entitled “When Comedy Was Funny” brought back some happy memories.

The best version of the show, I think, ran from 1966 through 1981 when Peter Marshall was the show’s host.  NBC, which earned the rights to the show after its pilot in 1965 also aired a nighttime version that could be seen on Friday nights at 9:30 PM.

Some of the best comedians of the time were regulars like Cliff Arquette (Charley Weaver), Rich Little, Rose Marie, Nanette Fabray, Wally Cox, Morey Amsterdam, Buddy Hackett, Marty Allen, George Gobel, Jonathan Winters and Paul Lynde.

Lynde appeared on 707 episodes and became famous for his outrageous jokes.

The video below contains some of Lynde’s best jokes.  Have a laugh or two.  We need it these days.
