The song Just a Gigolo was written by Cole Porter, and was originally Just a Piccolo, and was part of an intended musical in which the cast were anthropomorphicized musical instruments. The evil Metronome steals away the beauteous Tambourine from the poor-but-honest Piccolo, who only defeats him after receiving words of wisdom from the profound Bassoon.
In the never aired finale of Happy Days, Joanie’s friend Jenny Piccolo reveals that she is actually the Cunningham’s long lost son Chuck one visit to a Scandinavian clinic later.
Even if he had lived, Arnie Cunningham never could have gotten full Blue Book value for Christine, what with it being possessed and killing people.
Steven King was working on a follow up to Christine where the titular car meets up with the semi truck from Maximum Overdrive in a small town in Maine. According to legend, he had extreme difficulty coming up with an ending to the book which drove him so crazy that he gave Paramount Pictures the OK to produce Pet Semetary Two.
Stefan King’s character Randall Flagg was based on the Snow Miser.
The British have been puzzling for decades over whether Fannie Flagg is a person or a naughty decoration.
The best-selling holiday jigsaw puzzle is titled “Naughty Decorations” and features nude elves decorating Santa’s Christmas tree with bawdy baubles.
“Naughty Decorations” was secretly designed by Mrs. Spiro Agnew, who had a thing for nude elves and shaved reindeer. Two Washington Post reporters who learned of her role in creating the X-rated Yuletide puzzle were personally strangled by G. Gordon Liddy with a string of Christmas lights.
Davy Jones of The Monkees got his big break as one of Mrs. Agnew’s nude elves, while Sandy Duncan to this day earns extra money at Christmas by sitting atop G. Gordon Liddy’s Christmas tree as his “living angel”; she even did this when he was in prison and his family had to pay her in generic canned foods.
Mrs. Eustacia Hermetica Generica Phartuccio-Smythe Agnew, widow of the late Vice President, is now a recluse living in a yurt in the vacant lot next to the Blawnox, Pa. Quik-E-Mart #443.
“443” used to be the Number of The Beast, until he had to move further uptown due to rent increases.
According to Revelations, the tilde is the symbol of the Beast.
The Name of the Beast is officially listed on his birth certificate as “Santa” because the ancient clerk, Father Phartuccio Rexic, was unable to spell any word containing more than three letters. The only co-worker who would talk to Father Rexic was Saint Gabrool.
Unknown to The Grinch, the “rare Who Roast Beast” was actually one his relatives from the region beyond Mt. Crumpit and the Who townspeople had a much darker Christmas in mind for the green one.
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas will not be shown or read aloud in any form this Christmas due to the Grinch hacking the computers of Universal Studios and Random House.
Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) always insisted he based the character of the Grinch on Samuel Gompers. He did not like that Sam I Am.
Dr. Seuss said the sequel, or Seuquel, to “Sam I Am”, the poorly reviewed “Son of Sam I Am”, came to him while he was walking his neighbor’s dog.
The Broadway musical Seussical originally starred a real elephant called Sam, who had a beautiful singing voice. He was let go in previews due to “artistic differences.”
Sam, the singing elephant, was so devastated by being let go from the musical that he changed his name to Horton, climbed a tree and vowed he would never come down. Who knows what happened to him?
Sam Horton holds the world’s record for longest sit on an elephant’s trunk: I,999 days. He stayed on for fourteen elephant sneezes, only to fall off when he himself sneezed.
