A casualty of less progressive times, ABC refused to pick up _Joanie Loves Charo_ despite very positive reviews of the pilot episode by both the studio and various test audiences. All copies of the one show were destroyed by short-sighted network executives, though word-of-mouth suggests that the two star’s electric chemistry as well as a jaw-dropping cameo appearance by Lauren Tewes made for compelling television. ---

Ahem. The reason ABC didn’t pick it up was the timely discovery of a “pre”-pilot featuring the two stars in the raunchiest porn flick imaginable. ---

Squirrel Training was the third academic major ever offered by Harvard University, in 1771, after History and Privy Design. It was subsequently offered at the College of William & Mary and Yale University, as well, but was kept out of the curriculum at Princeton University (then the College of New Jersey) due to the strident opposition of Phineas Witherspoon-Phartuccio, president of the school. ---

As there is no actual elk in the concoction, bakers worldwide are scratching their heads in wonder. Stay tuned. Stevie Wonder isn’t any blinder than Cheech Marin’s Melon Chitlin character. Wonder has gamed this blindness fraud into a multimillion dollar scam- polling has revealed that 99.9% of his fans only buy his demented wailing albums out of sympathy for his “blindness”. ---

Lombardy Pudding Elk Banana Pudding was served at a White House reception only once, in March 1844 during the administration of President Robert Phartuccio Chitlin-Barnes. Sixteen people died of food poisoning and hundreds more were forever traumatized by the dessert, resulting in the expungement of Chitlin-Barnes from American history books to this day. ---

Robert Phartuccio Chitlin-Barnes’ great-grandmother, Charrita Chitlin was the first professional chef to fry the small intestines of marmosets in butter and serve it with her own secret sauce.

_The Chitlin Pig-Out Barn_ has been in the same location since its founding–as **Ye Chitlin-Barnes’s Chitlin Pigge-Outt Barne** –in 1644, with only one relocation. This was in 1691 when a herd of Lombardo Custard water buffalo shifted the establishment approximately eighteen feet to the south-west during a migration. ---

The show went through many changes after she died, ultimately evolving into the TV game show Hollywood,Squares. ---
