Columbia dumped the Stooges in 1958, not 1957. They weren't fired; their contract expired and Columbia simply refused to renew it.

The really sad part is that the Stooges got no residuals from reruns, again thanks to Columbia's malignant management. Even today, Sony wants to charge you $1.99 for the privilege of watching an 80+ year old Stooges short on YouTube.

I live in Fort Bend County and McMansions are, well, everywhere. This is the most $$$ listing on Zillow at the moment, to give you an idea as to what goes on around here. Note who once owned this - and you wonder why Medicare is going broke.

The famous book Texas History Movies goes into great detail about Sam Houston's personal life and is the source for what I posted earlier. No Texas historian should be without this book, which taught generations of Texas schoolchildren more than they should have known. The period encompassed is from circa 1500 to 1928, when the book was first published. This is the one I have; get yours today - you won't be sorry!

Sam Houston was rumored to have a never-healing oozing wound that resulted from his early military service (and he was also badly wounded at the battle of San Jacinto), one which allegedly caused at least one of his wives to leave him. One of them did so virtually overnight, and Houston whereupon ordered his bodyguards to shoot anyone he heard discussing the various rumors why.

Anyone ever been to a Joe's Crab Shack? The music is extremely loud and geared toward young people. We once asked that the volume be lowered, and this during an off-hour. They refused and so we left for another venue. Haven't been back since.

I'm so old that I remember when fine dining included soft piano music tinkling throughout the restaurant.

I doubt that Google keeps track of Amazon's scalp belt unless the victim is particularly noteworthy. They sure don't keep track of the mom-n-pop stores that Amazon kills off. Miss Cellania herself told me that Amazon now sells custom t-shirts and such just like the Neatorshop does and that they cannot compete here. Anyway, she's gone and you will never see another of her posts.

'Tis true, Edward, just not at all well advertised. The staff was laid off although Zeon seems to still be posting. Miss Cellania and Jill Harness are definitely gone. Now there will just be Alex.

Amazon killed the Neatoshop, which is how they had been staying afloat. And the site may just close; it's up to Alex.

Say good night, folks; Amazon has killed this site as a change of pace from killing retailers. Whether or not it even stays online henceforth is a good question. Miss Cellania didn't even get to say goodbye. :-(

True. There was apparently a delay of five months. From her grave info:

Her body was buried with the unknown dead, but five months later was identified by her father.
