And, after Gene got a quick look at his brother (who had disappeard), he never talked to him or acknowledged him even though he traveled all the way to the Cape. The Lion was hilarious, just a movie shot of a lion coming toward the camera. The little kids did sound good. This was a very funny film.monihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396662015688569038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-51668148645099899112007-09-16T18:14:00.000-05:002007-09-16T18:14:00.000-05:00if what tm says is true roy rogers is even cooler ...if what tm says is true roy rogers is even cooler than i thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-42356805079081658332007-09-16T18:07:00.000-05:002007-09-16T18:07:00.000-05:00Depending on your POV, Rogers tops that.

He used to, I'm told by my ex-FAA-in-Alaska parents, hire pilots to take him under the radar into Siberia so he could shoot bears from the plane (such activity already frowned upon in Alaska in the '60s), and then come back and "shack up" for a while with a woman of one of the native nations...presumably while Dale was at home preparing one or another of her sermons or inspirational books.<BR/><BR/>My father as a kid was more the Lash LaRue fan, despite noting later on how fey the performances were (leaving aside the concept).

Falling off his horse during a promotional appearance at a rodeo was Gene's wake-up call -- not to stop drinking, but to stop appearing in public!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-84053457117977741472007-09-16T15:33:00.000-05:002007-09-16T15:33:00.000-05:00Gene's pretty slender in this one.

I was hoping for a fireworks display and maybe a music festival, but instead I get -- THE PHANTOM EMPIRE.<BR/><BR/>There's a Hopalong Cassidy movie with Hoppy going to Morocco, and I'm betting Morocco looks quite a bit like Lone Pine, CA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
