Thursday, June 4, 2009 Are you still not convinced we've lost our heritage? Jamie Foxx set to play Frank Sinatra on the silver screen A biopic based on the life of Frank Sinatra is on its way to the silver screen, but even the guy who “didd it his way” couldn’t have imagined the cast of characters being lined up to possibly play him. While early reports had entertainers like Justin Timberlake, Harry Connick Jr., and Leo DiCaprio tapped to tackle the part of Sinatra, some Hollywood insiders now believe Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx would do an excellent job of portraying the Rat Packer. Are we being punk’d? You read right, ladies and gents. According to The ...

When I was a kid the only magazine my father had a subscription to was True magazine, which was a men's magazine that went out of business around '74, I think. I only remember two stories from it: one in which some guy shot a charging grizzly two or three times with his .45 and killed it about two feet from him, and the other was about Phineas Gage, Gage I remember vividly. He was the train worker tamping gunpowder in a hole when a blast sent his tamping iron through his skull, giving him a partial lobotomy, He got up a few minutes later and started talking and walking around, even though some of his brains were leaking out of his head. He lived another 11 years, changed to ...

Poster Comment:I think my mother had every record this guy put out. One day, driver insane, I destroyed al of them and imprisoned my mother in a pit in the basement. As far as I know she's still there. Apparently my dad has never let her out, saying he enjoys the peace and quiet.

"How would I go about authenticating something like this. Long story short, my grandfather had a shoe repair shop in Austin for many years, at the corner of Oltorf and South 1st. Charles Whitman's wife used his shop for shoe repair. She dropped off some shoes right before her husband goes on his rampage. My grandfather picked up one of the shoes to work on it, and this pocket knife fell out of it. He stuck it away, meaning to give it to her when she picked up the shoes. He always said it was common for men to toss their pocket knives inside their shoes. She was killed the day Whitman went on his rampage, so the shoes were around a while. The police department came in a week or so ...

Poster Comment:Turtle used to live across the street from where the singer of this song, Walter Scott, used to go to high school. Scott ended up murdered in a love triangle, and was dumped in a backyard well for several years, where the cold water essentially turned him to soap. Scott was quite popular with the women and apparently a bit of a cheater himself.

LOS ANGELES – Bob May, who donned The Robot's suit in the hit 1960s television show "Lost in Space," has died. He was 69. May died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Lancaster, said his daughter, Deborah May. He was a veteran actor and stuntman who had appeared in movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by "Lost in Space" creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family's loyal metal sidekick in the series that debuted in 1965. "He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit," said June Lockhart, who played family matriarch Maureen Robinson. "It was one of those wonderful Hollywood ...
