Oswald looks suspiciously like Felix the Cat, who pre-dates him by some 7 years or more. Typical Disney: "borrow" heavily from someone else's already-existing work, change it ever so slightly, then re-name it and claim it as your own. He made a career out of doing this, and aggressively challenging - usually by long, drawn-out court cases which he had the deep pockets to win - anyone who objected.

He should take Robertson Davies' advice. When people would ask him if he was Santa Claus (who he did resemble quite a bit in his later years), he would either answer:
"No, I am the musical member of the family, Sonata Claus" or
"No, I am his brother, Sharp Claws. Are you Simple Simon?" (or Mother Goose, depending on the gender of the questioner)

Holy cow, really? I can't imagine how many puffins it'd take to make a decent meal. They're not that big - about the size of a bigger pigeon. Still, I suppose if you were living somewhere like Iceland, you had to pretty much eat whatever you could get your hands on!

Although I expect he's now best-known as Gandalf, I can never look at Ian McKellen without thinking of him in "Apt Pupil". He was so scary/creepy in that movie - yeesh! Or perhaps even better, his "Richard III".
Ditto P. Stewart - most likely know him from Star Trek or X-Men, but he's also made some other wonderful films. Top of my personal list is "Safe House" - what a head trip!

Some people will believe anything. When I was a kid, we convinced my sister that naugahyde came from small South American animals called naugas. She believed it until she was a teenager!
Our Scottish neighbour used to make haggis when I was growing up. Living on a farm, we were used to eating sweetmeats and other offal, so haggis wasn't much of a stretch. It's basically like loose hamburger, just a little chewier. No biggie, except our neighbour made hers so salty you needed to drink gallons of water with it. We were too young for whiskey!

"Inspired by Cash's stunt, Schramm decided to inject some sex appeal into the Cowboys."
In other words, titties n' beer.
I once read that the average football game has something like only 11 minutes of actual play. It's like watching paint dry. No wonder they had to sex it up somehow - it probably would have gone the way of the dinosaur, otherwise.

My current fave was born of sheer desperation. I was out of lemons!

Slice a clementine in half and use a juicer to squeeze both halves into a tumbler. Add two ice cubes and a generous splash of iced Grey Goose or some other premium vodka. Let it sit for a few minutes so the ice melts a little, then swirl the glass around to mix everything together and enjoy!

Ha ha! You sure felt like you were controlling the universe back in the day, when for the first time you could actually hook a console up to your TELEVISION and play a game! Whoever had one of those was the baddest-ass kid in the neighbourhood!
