100 Million Grilles was the working title for the Kurt Russell film that became Used Cars.
Kurt Russell was grilled by police for four hours concerning his visits to a local massage parlor. On being released from custody, Kurt told reporters “I’m done with masseuses, well done.”
When grilling suspects, police are sure to switch sides, so the suspect doesn’t become too done on one of them.
Grilling by police first began in 1822 when Kermit Russel pried his cell door off its hinges and it, with Kermit on top, fell onto the open fire which was used to keep the prisoners warm during winter. Because his arm was caught under the bars, he began begging the guard to free him and he confessed to everything he had ever done as well as several crimes his cousin Karl had committed.
The only crime Karl was ever convicted of was animal cruelty, when in a drunken rage he bit the head off his son’s songbird. This occurred while they were in Panama. Karl ate pet, a lark.
Though Karl was never convicted, he was guilty of several crimes against nature. The worst of which was making imperfect palindromes. In Panama, as with everywhere else in the civilized world, this is a hanging offense.
Hanging offenses in Boston include pronouncing the local hokey team with two syllables, calling the star basketball player by his first name, and pronouncing the name of the basketball time with a hard C.
Karl, AKA Kral, was killed when he tried to bite off the head off the ornery animal mascot of a local Panamanian village basketball team after he (Karl/Kral) had drank too much hard Cider. The sot was deservedly trampled to death. Unfortunately for the ill-tempered antelope, locals then feared their mascot was possessed by a “diablo,” and strung up the creature on TV for all to see. Poor devil gnu hung, live droop.
Locals continued to lynch mascots, convinced they could determine which were Town and which were Scum. The latest mascot lynched was Lion.
A lost 1920’s-era Disney cartoon short with a message about vigilante justice featured a villain named Lynchy Lynx and a victim named Caleb Coon.
The one known copy of Lynx & Coon is believed to be in the possession of actor Jussie Smollett. The fact that the threatening letter he received contained references to this cartoon and the “coon” ws threatened to be “lynx” is pure coincidence.
And on a side note, today Jussie Smollett and Tawana Brawley announced their engagement.
Cameron Diaz used to call Justin Timberlake “Jussie” when they were married. He called her “Hussie” and that was the beginning of the End.
The end of the End is the end. Then it starts over.
Einstein was nearly rendered insane trying to fathom the last line of The Beatles’, “The End.” The love you take only equals the love you make in fourth dimensional equations.
The Doors sued ABBA, claiming their song “Take A Chance On Me” was stolen from the end of their song The End. The suit was settled out of court in the end, as neither side wanted to take a chance on what a court battle would come to in the end.
The Doors’s original lineup was Jim Morrison (vocals and marimba), Orson Bean (bass guitar), Kyuzo “Iggy” Hashimoto (alto saxophone) and Neil Armstrong (zither). When Armstrong was selected to become a NASA astronaut, Morrison fired the other two musicians and set about reforming the group.
After being fired from the Doors Kyuzo “Iggy” Hashimoto auditioned to play in the E Street Band. While he was one hell of an alto saxophonist, Springsteen turned him down because “Every E Street member has to have an 'E” in their name."
The E Street Band was formed in 1972 as Bruce Springsteen’s backup band. The original name for the group was Springsteeny Boppers, but after being called out by the #MeToo movement for sexually exploiting the girls in the band during the “Summer of Love”, Springsteen hired a group of all-male musicians. For some reason, these guys didn’t care for the name and complained constantly about it. One day in 1975, Bruce had had enough and pulled the tour bus over on E Street in Blawnox, PA where he demanded they pick a new name right then and there.
The Blawnox Boppers were an all-Christian band of young women who performed during the “Summer of Love.” Their songs included Born to Run God’s Love and the follow-up, Born in Jesus’s Unique Summer Actions, Praying in God’s Love, Bethlahem’s Jesus Freak Out, and others best forgotten.
Nearly two years after the Summer of Love came the Spring of Bitterness. There were few concerts, and those that did occur had few attendees. However, individual serving ice cream sales flourished.
