Claroscureaux is at it again




Look who he's celebrating today!

I hate it when he gets all liquored up

All he does is shout at Mother or Dixie or those poor twins. Also, he insisted upon using molten lava. Mean guy.

Oh, sure, he wants you to think he's dead



Golly, so much written about my boss, Howard Hughes. I can't believe you really think he's dead.
Let's see if he shows up at the staff meeting tomorrow. I'm used to the Kleenex boxes as slippers.

"Oscar's" Big Night?

Here, read about this douchebag. There have been so many different, well-written accounts of what happened to the man (so well-endowed his thing was nicknamed "Oscar"), but as always I turn to the most credible of all, what else but from "Crowning Glory" by Sydney Unohooaroff:Seriously, Crowning Glory is hours of entertainment. Sydney claims to have been at the center of many many events, check it out for yourself.

Sassy, dead Nineteen years

She was incomparable, indeed yes I put them in that order for a reason.
Incomparable. Although I do believe in later years Sassy was also known as Boozy.

Perhaps it was the UHF that did her in fifteen years ago today

You know I'm talking about Betty Furness, right?Mother is sitting rapt with attention to the screen and has just asked Captain Brown to pour them both another drink.

Yet another example of fatalism


You must admit it was weird how it worked out for Brandon Lee.

He's okay, it's just that ridiculous haircut that bugs me

Mother is letting ANYONE that asks put their handprints down in the forecourt of her villa here at the Garden of Allah.

It all turned to shit Seven years ago today


For Milton Berle, at least.

I know you've seen the BBC interview of Milton, but have you seen Milt with Skip E. Lowe?

My Rusty always gets all bummed out


Because his idol Halston died on this date in 1990.

It all turned to shit Seventeen years ago today

At least it did for Nancy Walker, who died on this date in 1992. I also liked this.

i know he was short, but


Peter Lorre probably deserved a better location than this six inch square box on the bottom floor, but that was what he chose...a scene from his iconic film "M"and maybe just a little "What's My Line"

Liz maintains her "lucky in love" status (again)

Yep, things can't get worse for Mike Todd on this date, his plane crashing and all. I was surprised at his credits, aren't you?

While Mother is at Mass

First, turn off the Playlist player, hit pause. Then click on the video's play button. I want to introduce you to the work of Craig Hella Johnson, here is his arrangement of "Requiem" by Eliza Gilkyson. Here is the text. I really thought this was unbelivably moving.
