Goldenrods were never used in any margarine, but Texas Bluebonnets WERE used, until the ban in 1986, in Blue Bonnet margarine, because, of course, everything’s better with… .
…Orson Bean!
Han Solo’s reference to C-3PO as “Goldenrod” in the Hoth evacuation scene of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back was suggested by Stanley Kubrick when he visited the set. Goldenrod was the reclusive director’s favorite flower.
C-3PO’s pal R2D2 appeared in an earlier film by George Lucas. He was a jukebox in American Graffiti.
George Lucas’s later success with “Star Wars” came about due to his early acting role in “Robot Monster” where he played Johnny, the boy who “dreamed” the whole movie, working under the stage name Gregory Moffett.
Every actor who appeared in George Lucas’s “American Graffiti” played a Stormtropper in Star Wars, for which they were paid the mighty fee of $25…
…except for Mackenzie Phillips, who was too drunk to show up.
Mackenzie Astin is the secret love child of Mackenzie Phillips and George Lucas. His older brother Sean is the secret love child of Sean Young and George Lucas. Wil Wheaton is the secret love child of Hillary Clinton and George Lucas.
I could list everyone who is the secret love child of George Lucas, but I’d be here all night.
Love Child of George Lucas was a five-member hard rock/heavy metal band from Sausalito, California, who were hired to play at the first mega Star Wars convention in Oakland in 1982. Very talented, they had instrumental renditions of many SF TV and movie themes. Each band member played numerous instruments, combining for a magnificent sounding concert. Unfortunately, to appear “ironic” to the fans, the band took the stage dressed as Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Engineer Scott and a “Red Shirt.” Fifteen seconds into their first number, an indignant cry went up from the massive audience, who rushed the stage en masse. When the fracas settled, the band members could not be found. Rumors that they were “transported” to another location were roundly ridiculed; “That technology does not exist in the Star Wars universe,” one fan said, “ergo, it didn’t happen. Worst convention ever,” the 450 lb. comic book store owner was heard to say.
Love Child of George Lucas regrouped, changed to acoustical instruments (with one snare drum) and performed the famous opera “Tangerine Highlights in Her Hair” to an appreciative audience in Bowlick, South Dakota. After their success in Bowlick they scheduled a six-performance run in Nancyville, North Dakota. Unfortunately, Ronnie Kelp (formerly Mr. Spock) forgot the lyrics to the second number and instead launched into a mumbling monologue about his Border Collie. Opera fans, shocked beyond belief to hear SPOKEN WORDS, rushed the stage en masse, leading to the second disappearance of the entire band. To date they have not re-emerged.
Highlights ,features …Goofus & Gallant a cartoon created by Garry Cleveland Myers and drawn by Anni Matsick. The strip features two contrasting boys, Goofus and Gallant. Goofus and Gallant were based on two young boys Mr. Meyers knew from his neighborhood. Jimmy and Billy Carter… but get this Billy was Gallant and Jimmy was Goofus.
In 2015, Cleveland, Ohio was voted the city with the most boring team names for the 144th year in a row. This started with the now-defunct 1871 Cleveland Forest Cities* and continued through the 1890 Cleveland Infants*, the 1925 Cleveland Rosenblums*, and the present-day Cleveland Browns*. Even the players often forget the name of the team they are playing for and usually just mumble some approximation.
*All actual Cleveland team names.
Cleveland Brownie was the real name of a Girl Scout who holds the record for selling more Girl Scout Cookies than anyone. When asked her secret, she replied 'I’ve found out that the group with the biggest sweet teeth on the world is George Lucas’s secret love children."
Sir Rupert MacMack’s attempt to overthrow the world through the sales of Boy Scout Cookies failed dismally. Apparently no one wants to eat just flavors as “Colon Blocker”, “Sludge Drop” and “Phat Mints”.
Colon Block Sludge Drop Phat Mints was a member of the group Love Child of George Lucas for a short time. He tried to form a reunion band, but was sued for using the name. He finally formed a new group with the name George Lucas’s Secret Love Child.
Despite being the best selling rock artist in southeast Asia, Vietnamese singer Phu Que has been stymied by censors in his attempts to gain a western audience.
Elton John’s hit Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me was based on Bernie Taupin’s historical ode to western audiences in 440 BC, who constantly feared they would be set on fire at the end of the day. All concerts at that time were performed between 1 and 4 pm.
Elton John actually came upon a lost history papyrus fragment featuring the lyrics to Saul of Tarsus’s anti-sodomite ode Don’t Let the Son Go Down on Me. No mention of the son’s name is mentioned.
The Mall of Tarsus in Turkey is the world’s oldest indoor fountained shopping center and has been listed as one of the Seven Commercial Wonders of the 1860’s.
There was a huge public outcry when the last store was opened in The Mall of Tarsus, even though it was tucked into the furthest corner under the main stairwell. However, the addition of this store became the tipping point that pushed The Mall of Tarsus into seventh place as one of the Seven Commercial Wonders. This small establishment was Victor Victoria’s Secret, and their best-selling product, the Cross-My-Heart Bra, was renamed the Wonder Bra when the mall made the top seven.
The Mall of Tarsus, located on the road to Alexandretta in Turkey, is known for it’s many valuable and ancient artifacts, including the cup of Christ, which nobody has selected wisely in over 800 years. The cup remains hidden in a dusty corner of the market, and quests have died off over the centuries, but a person can still buy a lovely Bolex watch, a nice Cooch handbag, or a bottle of Channel #5.
