The doctor told Trump’s mother that she had given birth to a giant pumpkin. The Trumps won prizes at seven consecutive state fairs before realizing that it was actually a child. The prize money helped launch the Trump fortune, however.
Trump’s mother sang backing vocals on Bing Crosby’s 1928 single “I’m on
the Crest of a Wave”.
The writer known as Chuck Tingle is a collaboration between Bing Crosby, Sidney Crosby, and David Crosby.
David Crosby was ultimately let go because he was too young and couldn’t hold still.
When not playing for the Las Vegas Raiders, Maxx Crosby likes to skip and jump, and press wild flowers.
Feargal Crosby was the first Irishman to walk on the moon. In 1982 he
fashioned a rudimentary propulsion device using 652,000 bottle rockets glued
together and attached to a rocking chair enclosed in a 2000 litre carboy.
Sadly, the carboy smashed on impact with the moon’s surface, and Feargal
managed only 4 steps before he died of asphyxiation.
Feargal Crosby’s Four Steps was an unsuccessful competitor for Alcoholics Anonymous.
Before she became the hatchet-wielding crusader of temperance, Carrie Nation organized the first Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Springfield, MO. But Nation believed in the power of shame and humiliation to cure alcoholism, and drunkards chose to drink in isolation instead of being publicly chastised.
“Carrie Nation” is a mutual-aid organization of young women who had been bullied and tormented by their high school classmates.
Carrie Nation was so named because she was born with a full set of rotting teeth. Her condition gave rise to the phrase ‘drill baby, drill’ a full 150 years before Sarah came on the scene.
The original name of the band on The Muppet Show was The Rotting Teeth. This was changed to The Electric Mayhem when some network executives complained. In tribute to the original name, the band’s leader was named Dr Teeth.
The Muppet Show is a spin-off from Monty Python’s “The Lumberjack Song.”
Eric Idle worked as a lumberjack between seasons 6 and 7 of Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
Monte Python’s Flying Circus was originally called " 'Tzing Whack A-Hoogah’s Flying Circus " before a judge ruled it to be too obscene for television.
“Too Obscene For Television” was originally the name of “Family Feud”. It was rejected because it made no fucking sense whatsoever as the name of a TV show.
In Romania they have a version of The People’s Court where personal disputes and disagreements are settled based on the number of belligerents on either side, with the bigger group prevailing in decisions handed down by a judge. Bribes are discouraged but no one ever turns one down. Often the rulings provoke fist fights in the courtroom but this is such a ratings boost that the producers select parties most agitated to appear on the show. To date, it is the highest rated program on Romanian TV and also has the highest death toll of any televised program ever.
Romanian zookeepers are organising an expedition to search for the recently reported Gigantopithecus blacki in the forests of Laos. Common wisdom states that G. blacki became extinct in the 1970s as a result of Agent Orange use in the area.
The Forests of Laos was the 4th album in the Pretentious Waffle trilogy
by the Latvian prog rock group Thnudus of T’Yang-poot.
After the aforementioned trilogy, Thnudus of T’Yang-poot went on to release thirty-four albums that, collectively, chronicle a single day in the life of a hobbit named Chester McBesterTesterFester as he goes about his ordinary hobbit life. All these albums were released within a span of two and a half years and were recorded in the basement of the drummer’s apartment building, much to the annoyance of the other tenants. In mint condition, any of these LPs will fetch a price of up to four dollars from collectors.
In his self-collected and self-critiqued least-seller, author Job McHenery declared that all albums recorded after 1965’s Alvin and the Chipmunks Burn In Hell are worthless. McHenery also wrote that he is willing to buy any of those worthless albums for $.01 on the dollar.
