Pinto Colvig was the voice of Bozo the Clown on the 1946 record album that introduced Bozo to the children of the world. The album came with an illustrated read-along book (the first of its kind!) and stayed on Billboard's Best Selling Children's Records Chart for an amazing 200 weeks! Colvig also played Bozo on the first version of the TV show, Bozo's Circus, which debuted on KTTV in Los Angeles in 1949. In 1956, Larry Harmon bought the rights to the Bozo franchise and sold local versions of the show to multiple markets across the U.S. By 1959, he had 100 Bozos in the United States, plus clowns in Germany, France, and Japan. The most famous Bozo the Clown is probably former Today Show weatherman Willard Scott. Harmon's personal favorite, however, was Boston's Frank Avruch. In 1965, Harmon tried to market Avruch as the only Bozo but met resistance from many stations who wanted to keep their own clowns.

That's a lot of bozos!! :lmao:

In 1806, Lewis and Clark discovered the land that would later become the city of Portland. Asa Lovejoy, a native of Massachusetts, and Francis Pettygrove, a native of Maine, founded the city in 1851. Lovejoy wanted to name this city after his beloved Boston, but Pettygrove wanted to name it after his hometown of Portland. A coin toss settled the dispute, and the rest, as they say, is history.

There was no "soft" or sibilant "c" in the original Irish. Keltoi, now spelled Celtic, was (and in some areas still is pronounced) Keltic (hard K/C sound).

But don't call them the Boston Keltics! :goodvibes

The Ohio State Football team and Marching band, when the game is played in Michigan, will spend the night in Toledo, and WILL NOT venture into the state of Michigan until absolutely necessary! :rotfl2:

Honey never spoils as it is antibacterial. Intact samples of honey have been found in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Another food that never spoils is Tootsie Rolls.

Now that I think of it.......wouldn't using white Pop Rocks for the kitty litter be a nice touch? The already-timid "victim" takes their first bite no sure what to expect, and then their tongue starts popping.

Yeah........This could be fun. :scratchin

Kitty Litter cake actually tastes good, if you don't look at it ;)

Pop rocks would be great! Another good idea is to take a small squirt bottle and spray a few little squirts of yellow food color over the top....

Okay, VERY random!

A foreskin, the size of a postage stamp, from circumcised babies take only 21 days to grow skin that can cover three (3) basketball courts. Amazing isn’t it. Thanks to science. The laboratory-grown skin is used in treating burn patients.
