Queen bassist John Deacon is, in fact, a deacon in the Anglican Church, as is every adult male in England with that surname.
Richard Deacon (Mel Cooley on The Dick van Dyke Show) had a full head of hair and a five o’clock shadow every day. The set hairdresser often broke down in tears at having to shave part of Richard’s bonce every few hours.
Richard Bonce was to be the alter-ego of a new Marvel Comics character named The Skull, but Stan Lee never got around to fleshing it out, as his time was totally consumed with making those hundreds of appearances in all those superhero movies.
Richard Dreyfuss has been hired to play Stan “Captain Cameo” Lee in future MCU films. When not sporadically saving the day, Mr. Dreyfuss resides on his luxury yacht, the S.S. Goodbye Girl, with his wife Morgan Fairchild, whom he’s seen naked.
Morgan Freeman, on the other hand, has not been seen naked since he and Orson Bean went out streaking together in the 1980s.
Despite the numerous time they’ve been asked and the confusion that often comes with it, Morgan Freeman and Martin Freeman are not related.
Martin Freeman adopted his stage name when he began his acting career; it is a shortened version of his birth name, which is Martin Free-With-Qualifying-Purchase-Of-Ten-Pounds-Or-Greater-Man.
Martin Buber’s influential band The Thee originally performed under the name The Thou.
Martin Landau turned down the roles of Napoleon Solo, Han Solo and Mr. Spock. The greatest role of his life was as his 6-term run as Senator of Wyoming, during which time he legalized science fiction.
Martin was a 1977 George Romero written-and-directed movie about a young man (played by John Amplas) who claims to be an 84 year old vampire; lacking fangs, he resorts to razor blades to get blood from his victims. On the first day of shooting, Amplas wore plastic vampire fangs as a joke. When he went to “bite” Christine Forrest on the neck, she reared up and socked him in the nose with the back of her head, starting a gusher of crimson. This caused the fangs to tear open his upper lip and all the spattered blood prompted an episode of vomiting his Chicken Parmesan lunch all over the floor. Then he fainted. Tom Savini was green for three whole minutes, but that might have been the make-up he was testing.
This week Tom Savini discovered the cure for Covid-17. It turns out to be spoiled broccoli, mixed with rancid Chicken Parmesan, and ladled over spoiled toast. Serves six.
Tom Savini’s discovered cure for Covid-17 which is spoiled broccoli, mixed with rancid Chicken Parmesan, and ladled over spoiled toast is nicknamed Savini’s Poutini and has become the 6th most popular dish in Moose Lick Falls, Manitoba.
The seventh most popular dish in Moose Lick Falls, Manitoba, is Candy, the barmaid at Thicket Portage Airport Lounge on Friday and Saturday evenings. Be there. Aloha.
Manitoba, strangely enough, is an old Panamanian word meaning “an android of the morning.”
Were-Android of London has had its release date been postponed once again due to the Covid-19. The approximate current release date now is: never.
The Androids of London were a Canadian heavy-metal group. They failed to find an audience largely because hardly any young people had ever heard of their home-town of London, Ontario.
In addition to being a hockey player and restaurant founder, Canadian legend Tim Horton founded a heavy metal band, Black Coffee and Donuts.
Contrary to accepted belief, black coffee is not a stimulant. It just makes you pee so much that you don’t dare fall asleep.

Foods that people don’t usually think of as stimulants (but really are) include peanuts, radishes, carrots, beets, yams, walnuts, asparagus, macaroni and cheese, filet mignons, quail, coneys, coney dogs, hasenpfeffer, mutton, chocolate cake, rhubarb, strawberries and kiwi (which is amazingly powerful as a stimulant: that’s why New Zealanders are always so “up”.)
Kiwi is an “upper” in the Southern hemisphere, a downer in the Northern hemisphere, and kind of “meh” on the equator. How anything goes down the drain on the equator is anybody’s guess.
