The Other Guy Hall of Fame is in danger of losing its lease if it doesn’t come up with rent by next week. Many Other Guy inductees have offered to help: Peter Scolari (Bosom Buddies, Newhart) is selling both seeds and Grit subscriptions door to door, Burt “Robin” Ward just found a bunch of loose change in the couch, and all of the former members of Destiny’s Child not named Beyoncé are holding a bake sale. ---

The founding member of TOGHOF was Kato (Bruce Lee) of Green Hornet fame. He and Andy Devine came up with the idea, but Bruce later chopped his co-creator because he found his voice “just too damned annoying”. ---

Bruce Lee was the true Kato of OJ Simpson trial infamy. He thought it would help jump start him into a new phrase of his career (snicker, snicker). ---

Snickers Snickers is the Official Candy Bar of the Twinsburg, Ohio annual Twinfest. Orson Bean has been the honorary grand marshal of the Twinfest parade for the past 17 years, although he no longer ceremonially rides on a Lombardy Pudding Elk due to his advanced age, but instead rides a chariot pulled by twenty specially-trained Ohio woolly stoats. ---

Despite their name, most members of the Minnesota baseball team are not twins, nobody in the Baltimore baseball team is an oriole, nobody in the St. Louis baseball is a cardinal (avian or religious), no member of the Detroit baseball team is a feline or has even impersonated on in a musical, and very few members of the Boston team wear crimson items on their feet. However most members of one or the other New York baseball team live in the north and/or a big city. ---

ON the NFL side, not all of the players from Miami are actually dolphins, not all of the players from New England are patriots, but all of the players in Houston are Texans. Even if they call their home in another state, the state of Texas legally allows them to call themselves Texans and they even get a nice sticker and a wallet-sized card for it too. ---

Davy Crockett once kilt him a member of the Boston hockey team, but off scot free because he was only three. ---

Although fans were quite upset at the death of the Boston Bruins’ mascot bear, young Davy was excused because he believed a bystander who teased him that a random member of the audience would be fed to the bear. The judge hearing the case had harsher words for Mr. Crockett Sr. who failed to properly secure his .500 S&W hunting handgun. As for Davy, he thought he was going to get to keep the pelt for a bearskin rug and was quite saddened that it wasn’t so. ---

Whereupon young Davy took his father’s .500 S&W hunting handgun, shot the judge, ripped out said judge’s brain and spinal cord, put the items on his head and said “Look at me. I’m Davy Crockett.” ---

Oh Annie, too soon. 😉 The Sports Players Injury & Neck Establishment recommends a good warm up and plenty of stretching exercises if you ever plan on wrestling a bear, including 25 reps of neck rolls and 30 reps of shoulder shrugs. ---

Huh? That was a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror reference. In play: Professional wrestler Bearly Naked (real name: Smoky D. Barra) has wrestle 30 different types of animals, most notably a dinosaur at Jurassic Park. He has won every match, his most serious injury being a neck sprain. ---

I missed a Simpson’s reference? I should be shot through a dam’s spillway like a roast pig for that. In play: Professional wrestler Bearly Naked (real name: Smoky D. Barra) is a hairy, heavy set gay man who projects an image of rugged masculinity. Yes, Bearly Naked is indeed a bear. ---

Bearly Naked’s son, Stark Naked, set a world record when he was unable to gain employment in every profession known to modern man. Uncontrollable laughter was blamed for most of the rejections, even after Stark changed his name to ‘Buck’. ---

Buck Stark, Ned Stark’s halfwit brother, was killed off long before the Games of Thrones saga began, just for practice. ---

George R.R. Martin’s notes on the family history, heraldry, favorite foods and shoe size of Buck Stark (none of which made it into his published books) are said to be longer than Herman Melville’s original draft of _Moby-Dick_, but fortunately devoid of references to 19th-century Yankee whaling lore. ---

George R.R. Martin’s middle initials stand for “really religious” or, as my sister the lesbian calls them “rah-rah.” He believes America should go back to the time when only the straight, white, Christian man had any power. And he is NOT related in any way, shape, form , talent, or creativity to J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis or T.S. Eliot.
