Frail Orbs was a punk rock band of the early 1980s whose trademark was piercing their eyelids with safety pins. Each member went blind by the end of their first set. The music was unaffected.
Frail Orbs performed in Blawnox only once, on July 3, 1977, for twenty minutes. The only thing that is known about their set, before the anguished cries of the audience drove them from the Blawnox Roxy stage, is that they did not play “Rio” by Duran Duran.
1977 bore witness to the first episode of the TV series “Lucan”, which revolved around the challenges of a young man who was raised by wolves as he tries to integrate into mainstream society. The song writing members of Duran Duran would later admit that the short running TV series was the inspiration for their hit song “Girls on Film”.
I once watched a streaming video on urology but the stream was weak and…oh…nevermind.
Once, when Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis were on location, they both went to the restrooms together, and, unfortunately, crossed the streams.
Dan Aykroyd has variously spelled his last name over the course of a long Hollywood career as Ackroyd, Akroid, Ahkroydd, !Ech’roid and Raymondluxuryyachtroyd.
Contrary to prevalent rumor, Dan Aykroyd is not the biological father of Justin Trudeau, though they do have the same DNA since both are Canadian and therefore mutated by proximity to the Canadian Shield. (DaN Aykroyd was actually named for DNA.)
Aykroyd is the biological father of several Dugger children, however, while Justin Trudeau is the biological son of Margaret Trudeau with an unspecified Star Trek cast member. Pierre Trudeau nearly divorced her when she became pregnant in spite of never having slept with him, but stayed with her when the archangel Percy-El appeared to him in a dream telling him not to and he would be prime minister.
The Canadian Shield was a 1970’s knockoff of Captain America, with the twist that the WW2 hero’s intelligence had been transmitted by computers into the 140MB (!) of storage that resided in a box in the center of the shield, which was carried around by an overly athletic, but mindless, android. He appeared in three issues of Canucks In Crisis in the Summer of 1974, and reappeared in the December 1977 issued of Dr. Mapleleaf, but failed to attract any following until today. He will be played by Danny “Machete” Trejo in the upcoming 2019 movie version, Canada Y’all!
Canada Y’all will co-star Randy Quaid, though he has no awareness he’s being filmed, and will feature the first all Anne Murray soundtrack since the original theatrical release of Deep Throat.
“Anne Murray” is the Canadian translation of “Helen Reddy.”
Helen Reddy would fly into a homicidal rage at being called “Hell, I’m Ready”.
To date, she has homicidally raged to death 54 person in 65 countries.
Studio 54 was not actually a studio, and it was not really 54. It was 28. At most.
Heinz no longer has its famously advertised number of “54 Varieties”. In a noisome altercation in this last half-decade, the varieties attacked one another in a frivolous internecine brouhaha, resulting in plain, commonplace, ordinaire Ketchup winning out. There can only be One.
Billy Carter’s rockabilly single “Frivolous Internecine Brouhaha” sold exactly 54 copies in June 1977, most of them to White House staffers eager to ingratiate themselves with the beer-loving brother of the President.
Billy Carter was shot and killed five days after his brother left office. The CIA, FBI and Secret Service are all extremely confident that the shooter was former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, and are even more confident that he had it coming.
Rosalynn Carter was the inspiration for Calvin’s babysitter. Watterson lived down the street from the Carters as a youth.
Rosalynn Carter was said by East Wing insiders to have a huge crush on Paul Newman, and once asked the Secret Service to rough up Newman’s wife, actress Joanne Woodward, “in a nice way” during a Connecticut campaign swing.
Connecticut, oddly enough, has more McDonalds restaurants per capita than any other state. “Connies” apparently can’t get enough of Big Macs and fries, and Happy Meals 101 is taught for credit at Hartford University.
Rhode Island was originally established as a refuge for religious dissidents, including former Connecticut citizens who preferred Burger King.
