***************************************************

Reading “All Quiet on the Western Front” during the

Tet Offensive.

The book was assigned by Mrs. N.

a wonderful English teacher.

Driving with Chuck to Pasadena, around midnight, laying low after committing malicious mischief, with “I Wonder What She’s Doing Tonight?” playing on the car radio, traversing our way to the all-night coffee shop on Colorado Blvd., as cop sirens blare ineffectually back in La Crescenta from where we departed, and while B-52’s are either dropping bombs on Viet Nam or being readied to do so.

Subsequently,

Chuck came by to check on the progress of the 6 inchers and the 9 inchers (low explosives).

Since he enjoyed being sneaky, he coasted his car down the driveway with the lights off to within inches of my abode, which consisted of a detached garage converted to a two story apartment, with what used to be a kitchen, and a usable bathroom though the shower was shabby. So I took baths in the main house during the analog days.

Chuck worked various jobs and had over a thousand bucks in the bank!

He financed my explosives research and development. I would send away to Echo products of New Jersey, which used to advertise in the back of Popular Science. The materials for building bombs were delivered by U.P.S., since the post office wouldn’t handle them.I would grab the package left on the front porch before mom came home from work.

One time Chuck came over and we watched “The Smothers Brothers” on the black & white television,

while he wolfed down his KFC chicken dinner not offering me any.

After being up really late at night delivering 6 inchers and 9 inchers, I would make sure I would show up in class the next day no matter how exhausted to avert suspicion.

The “Man from Uncle” exploding pellets weren’t any good, since the iodine crystals needed ammonia from a chemical supply house rather than just household ammonia from the supermarket,

whereas the 6 inchers and 9 inchers were awesome beyond belief.

Two rolls of toilet paper fit over a 9 incher with the water proof guta percha fuse protruding from the middle. This made quite a mess when exploded:

“My yard was a disgrace!”

I would spend summers downstairs in the garage unit, and winters upstairs, while studying math, physics, and chemistry, trying to make something of myself.

Would get off wearing mom’s panties, and nylons

for additional kicks to relieve the pressure.

in the Arleta house located in the San Pornando Valley (Los Angeles, California), which actually had an incinerator for burning trash in the back yard, but not for long as they were banned due to the smog situation. Perhaps the radio was purchased from the Big 5, which started as 5 Army/Navy surplus stores in Los Angeles?

Peep Show

Traveling in the Oldsmobile, jumping onto highway 33 somewhere south of Stockton, going about 100 MPH, but slowing down for occasional towns, past Firebaugh, heading south beyond the James Dean cutoff, which goes to Paso Robles, and onward toward Los Angeles –one of many trips from the ranch in Rio Linda back to LA. It was a hot summer day with the air conditioning in the Oldsmobile cranking. I was in the back seat, and the stepmom

decided to lift her dress, enabling the cool air from the air conditioner better access. Suddenly, the driver of a big-rig truck from the other direction in the opposite lane toots his horn in appreciation for the free peep show!

From the back seat I could only see the dress being lifted up and some of the nylon clad legs.

Continuing on to the Maricopa Highway, to converge on Highway 99, over the grapevine, pass the amazing LA Aqueduct, and then on to mighty Los Angeles!

The land north of Los Angeles county used to be desert until the advent of the California Water Project –now there are rutabagas and other such stuff growing.

um hi

from the Daily Breeze

HAWTHORNE:

She was once a grande dame of society, hosting a U.S. president, A-list movie stars and entertainers, the Mafia and, more recently, aerospace workers, jockeys and horse-racing aficionados. But the years took a toll, and she’s now a forgotten relic – a footnote of a bygone era to some,an eyesore to others.

Her future is anybody’s guess.Built at Imperial Highway and Hawthorne Boulevard in the 1950s by reputed Mafia associate Andrew Lococo, Hawthorne’s Cockatoo Inn

quickly became one of the South Bay’s premier hot spots,featuring 210 guest rooms and numerous meeting rooms amid sprawling grounds laid out like a secret garden. It gained a reputation for fine food, grand banquet halls and elegant European decor, including an L-shaped bar of brass and red leather. Male patrons were not allowed in without neckties. President Kennedy stayed there, as did his Air Force One pilots and his younger brother, Robert. A photo of the presidential plane, autographed by its pilots, still hangs on a hotel wall, Mayor Larry Guidi said. One rumor has it that the Kennedy brothers brought Marilyn Monroe

to Room 200 for a discreet rendezvous.

Its fortunes began to decline in the 1990s, when the recession decimated the aerospace industry and surrounding neighborhoods deteriorated. Hawthorne sued the Cockatoo in 1991 for $109,000 in unpaid bed taxes, and the owners declared bankruptcy the next year.”

from brie:

For a while Whitey was the maitre d for the cockatoo Inn. Whitey had to work an extra shift there. So, we went into a nearby store, where I purchased a plastic model of a V-1 buzz bomb, which I glued together in the car, while Whitey worked his shift. Before the restaurant opened, I went in and was served a Shirley Temple (drink)! The Cockatoo Inn had sterling silverware with “Cockatoo Inn” stamped on the pieces.

Each day whitey would swipe a piece of the flatware. Over the years our stash of the Cockatoo Inn silverware gradually disappeared, until there was only one spoon remaining, and, eventually, that last spoon disappeared too! One time Whitey ripped off some filet mignon — yum! The Cockatoo Inn was in the filming of various lounge scenes from the Quentin Tarantino Film, “Jackie Brown.”

Another time dropped off at Disneyland. started to get bored, since i had been there so many times. I wanted to see what was behind the scenes, not easy, but I managed to get over to the geyser attraction, which has a small railroad running through it. Suddenly, someone shouts “There she is!”
I take off running,

but the two dudes soon chase me down. “I thought that was a girl!” one of them blurts out. They take me to an office, where I am lectured about not going to restricted areas. I pass through a door, and am on Main Street, where Walt Disney had a secret apartment above the firehouse. On the car radio driving back to San Clemente:

“Tore your dress

What a mess

I confess

danke schoen.”

mostly from Wikipedia:

White Front

was a chain of discount stores in Southern California and the western United States from 1959 through the mid-1970s. They were noted for the architecture of their store fronts which was an enormous, sweeping archway with the store name spelled out in individual letters fanned across the top.The name White Front was said to refer to the practice of lining up appliances like washers, dryers and stoves in front of the store, giving it a “White Front.” Another feature of each store was that each had a separate key booth located in the parking lot.

The company was founded in 1929 in Los Angeles. In April 1959, the then two stores were acquired by Interstate Department Stores, Inc., which expanded the chain to other California locations and broadened its retail mix beyond the original house wares. In September 1960, Interstate also acquired Topps, which at the time had ten stores [beyond California]. For several years, White Front was the leading discount store in the United States.

In 1973 the company made an abortive attempt to expand into Oregon at the Mall 205 in Portland, Oregon. A television ad campaign to introduce the store featured Allen Ludden of Password fame (most store openings were promoted by Hollywood stars). The Portland store failed largely due to complications with coordinating sale ads printed in Southern California with deliveries of the advertised merchandise to Portland. Frustrated by being unable to get advertised specials after a long drive to the suburban store, customers stopped coming, numerous complaints were filed, and the store finally closed.

White Front entered the Seattle/Tacoma market of Washington State in 1969. Five stores were built in high-traffic areas in Burien, Tacoma, north Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett, but were all closed by about 1972. White Front was said to have left the Seattle market “while the paint was still drying in the parking lot stalls.” The local media as well as businesses, government agencies, and community leaders would play on that as well as calling the stores eyesores and a waste of space since each store had a large footprint (150,000 square feet). Some also pointed it out as a flawed attempt to “Californianize” the area, which might have led some local residents not to shop at the stores. Due to the struggling economy of the “Boeing Bust” of the late 1960s and early 1970s and the exodus of people leaving the area, it would take some time before new ownership was found for some of these vacant buildings.

from Brie:

Junk! If you bought a black & white television there, the knob would come off in your hand, when you got home.

Used to get my clothes there –made Robert Hall look good!

The Pacoima store also had 3 balls (perhaps symbolic of a pawn shop) on top of the front arch, through which you entered the store, which really looked like a giant funnel!

The first White Front store was destroyed during the historic Watts riot of 1965.

I remember seeing a closed White Front store in Oakland, while riding the BART.

Also, Jayne Mansfield

and the Canadian Beatles opened the White Front store in Sacramento!

um hi

Los Angeles flatlands (not the San Fernando valley):
Enormous tire factory, giant 30 foot donut,

(“Randy’s Donut is a large donut atop a donut bakery located not far from LAX at 805 West Manchester Avenue in Inglewood California.” )

I was born near here.
The lost summer.

We lived in a motel near the Hollywood Park race track for about a month.

Low on money. Would hang a tea bag on a cupboard knob, after only one use to be able to use it again.

Joe and Betty Karbo: the all night show was for the birds: the night owls and the early birds.

Joe and Betty Karbo pioneered all night television in Los Angeles.

Previously, around midnight programs would stop with just a test pattern on the tube!

Joe karbo’s book The Lazy Mans way to Riches — “paid cash –sniff.”

I bought the book. Can’t really say it worked for me.

Singing “Frankie and Johnny” in the bathtub, later, mom’s…panties

–best orgasim ever!

Only Michigan could rival Los Angeles County for manufacturing back then!

Riding my bike, searching for comic books, hard to find in this industrial part of town. Best i could do was an old grocery store (no supermarkets!), which had a decent selection.

Dr. Strange would astral-project his essence (something like that) around the world to fight evil-doers, while his actual, physical, body was in a skid-row hotel room, seemingly in a coma, and completely vulnerable – far out!

Rode bike to a theater to watch Ann Margaret

in “Bye Bye Birdie.”
Had a bad felling in the theatre, because i forgot to lock my bike. Sure enough. The one time I forgot to lock it –stolen!

me: “Hey!”
“I’m from this part of town. I was born in the same hospital as Brian Wilson (Beach Boys)!”

cosmic fiend: “Tough (expletive deleted) bub!”

Whitey (mother’s second husband) said “let’s go on a camping trip!” Not much happening in San Clemente at the time.

The only preparation was an ice chest full of cokes in the trunk of the heap of a car –

lost the Lincoln Continental, when our restaurant in Laguna Beach closed.

Grabbed Philip and off we went to Lake Arrowhead! Parked at a coffee shop on the

lake. Had dinner there and slept in the car. Deciding to get back to civilization, next

day headed to the San Fernando Valley!

Picked up Whitey’s small-time grifter friend Don on the way to the Dodgers-Giants game,

but they wouldn’t let us in because we were too late, and they were sold out because of

Sandy “no hit” Koufax.

Whitey and Don constantly bickering about stuff with Whitey mostly acquiescing. Apparently,

Don was whitey’s best friend, and a good contact for various grifter schemes. So, whitey

coped with his superior attitude.

Went to a drive-in movie (“The longest Day,” which was the longest movie). Kept checking

on the ball game with the car radio. Sandy Koufax just missed shutting out the Giants.

After the movie, we dropped off Don, and headed to Hansen Dam,

where we camped out in the car that night.

Heading back to Orange county the next day. Whitey was telling us (me and Philip) about

how a “queer” movie producer offered to send whitey to Paris, if he (Whitey) were to sodomize him.

Immediately, Philip blurted:

“How was Paris Whitey?” Amazingly, Whitey didn’t clobber Philip, but just came back with

a lame retort not worth mentioning.

On the way back to San Clemente taking the coast highway with the ocean on the right, while “Sherry” by The Four Seasons was emanating from the car radio.

P.O.P. & the Coliseum

um hi

****************************************************

Text mostly from the Los Angeles Times:

“The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum field is the place where two Summer Olympics were staged, and John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic presidential nomination [–convention at the sports arena I believe.]
It was also a location for “The Gangbang Girl #32,

” a hard-core pornographic movie that featured 40 minutes of group sex on the gridiron turf, The Times has learned.

The filming at the taxpayer-owned stadium was done at night, with the Coliseum’s towering lights blazing and its rows of distinctive red and white seats framing many of the scenes. The video also shows the stadium’s signature tunnel, which the team charges through at the start of games, as well as a sliver of the iconic peristyle, the arched entrance to the Coliseum.

“I was just in awe that we were at the Coliseum,” said a star of the film, who goes by the name Mr. Marcus.

“I’ve made movies for about 20 years and I’ve done a lot of things, but that one really stands out.… I mean, who gets to have sex on the Coliseum floor?”

Marcus said the football-themed footage was shot on a single night, including some non-explicit scenes filmed in a Coliseum locker room that did not make the final cut. The Coliseum is not identified by name in the video, which was made in 2001 and released in 2002. About half of the 90-minute movie was filmed elsewhere.

How the crew got permission to use the national historic landmark — which was built as a memorial to World War I veterans — is unclear. Attempts to reach a representative of the production company, Anabolic Video, were unsuccessful.

The Coliseum is jointly run by the city, county and state, which owns the land. A spokesman for the California attorney general’s office said Tuesday that he did not know if it is illegal to film pornography on state property. Agencies such as the California Department of Parks and Recreation prohibit porn shoots on properties they control.

Gaining access to the locked stadium and firing up the field lights typically requires the approval of a high-ranking manager, according to people familiar with Coliseum operations, who requested anonymity because they are not allowed to speak publicly on the matter.

An attorney for the top Coliseum executive at the time the video was made said his client knew nothing about the production.

Some current commissioners, including county Supervisors Zev Yaroslavsky and Mark Ridley-Thomas, were on the panel when the film was shot.

Yaroslavsky and Ridley-Thomas declined requests for an interview late Tuesday.

The plot of the movie, to the extent that it has one, revolves around a football team and a cheerleader.

The Anabolic logo is emblazoned on the jerseys the dozen or so performers wear — Marcus kept his as a souvenir — and on banners draped like bunting along the stands.

Marcus is a repeat winner of the annual Adult Video News Award, has been inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization’s Adult Movie Hall of Fame and wrote the 2010 book “The Porn Star Guide to Great Sex” (St. Martin’s Press), which earns a three-star review on the Barnes & Noble website.

Before he joins in the film’s raunchier scenes, Marcus is depicted as a quarterback tossing warmup passes near the western end zone. He told The Times he remembered the movie was shot on a cool night starting about 7.

“We were probably there until 11 p.m.,” he said.

The movie’s credits say it was produced on Sept. 16, 2001, a Sunday, during football season.

Sitting in the warehouse-like office of his Van Nuys-based apparel company, Daddy Inc., Marcus recalled that a clearly marked Sheriff’s Department helicopter startled the cast when it appeared overhead in mid-shoot. The whop-whop of a chopper’s blades is heard in the movie.

Marcus said he remembered looking up and thinking: “There’s going to be, like, this intercom saying, ‘Hey, this is the … Sheriff’s Department, you guys must cease.’

“But none of that came. They just circled, like they were trying to see what was going on.”

Spokesmen for the Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles Police Department, which has jurisdiction over the Coliseum, said they had no information about any 2001 pornography shoot there.

Marcus said the fact that the filming continued after the helicopter left convinced him that Anabolic must have had an official go-ahead to use the stadium.

“Honestly, when I started to shoot there, I thought, ‘How the hell did we pull this off? And does everyone know about it?'”

The performer had no apologies for people who might be angry that the movie may have tarnished the Coliseum.

“You can be mad all you want, but it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime types of opportunities,” he said.

[This happened about 10 years ago, but why now all the hubbub?!]

Mostly from Wikipedia:

Pacific Ocean Park

was a twenty-eight acre, nautical-themed amusement park built on a pier at

Pier Avenue in the Ocean Park section of Santa Monica, California, which was intended to compete with Disneyland.

“POP,” as it was soon nicknamed and pronounced, was a joint venture between CBS and Santa Anita Park. It opened on Saturday, July 28, 1958 with an attendance figure of 20,000. The next day, the park drew 37,262 which handily outperformed Disneyland’s attendance figure that same day.

Like Disneyland, Pacific Ocean Park found corporate sponsors to share the expenses of some of the exhibits. Six of the pier’s original attractions were incorporated into the new park: The

Sea Serpent roller coaster, the antique carousel, the Toonerville Fun House, the Glass House, twin diving bells and much more.

Among a standard complement of carnival-style attractions and rides were the following:

Enchanted Forest/USS Nautilus Submarine Exhibit featured a 150-foot (46 m)-long model of the atomic reactor section of a submarine.

House of Tomorrow was themed like similar “looks at the future” featured at Disneyland and the World’s Fair. Elektro, the talking and smoking robot from the 1939 World’s Fair, was a prominent display.

Sea Circus was included in the basic attraction price. Performing dolphins and sea lions played to audiences of 2000 at a time. After the show, visitors could feed seals in the Seal Pool.

Diving Bells in which passengers were submerged into the ocean via hydraulic pistons. A vast underwater vista was clearly visible through the portholes. Another such ride also existed in single fashion at the Long Beach Nupike and also Coney Island Astroland.

Ocean Skyway were bubble-shaped gondolas suspended 75 feet above the surface of the ocean.

Passengers were treated to a one-half mile trip out to sea and back.

Union 76 Ocean Highway was similar to Disneyland’s Autopia attraction. Visitors could drive miniature, gasoline-powered automobiles on a simulated highway.

Flight to Mars was an audio-visual presentation that simulated a trip to Mars.

Flying Carpet was a ride themed around Tales of the Arabian Nights. “Flying carpets” suspended on an overhead track took visitors over an Arabian-themed diorama.

Mirror Maze was a standard funhouse attraction.

Davy Jones’ Locker was another funhouse with a nautical theme.

Flying Dutchman was a dark ride similar to what Disneyland would present in 1967 with the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Deepest Deep simulated a voyage via submarine. Unlike Disneyland’s Submarine Voyage attraction, “Deepest Deep” took place above water.

Round the World in 80 Turns was an unusual combination of travelogue and thrill ride. Tub-like ride vehicles whipped sharply to the right and left to show travel scenes from around the world.

The attraction was closed in the middle of the park’s second season due to complaints of nausea and neck and back pain.

Safari Dark Ride was an interactive children’s ride in which riders in miniature Jeeps used an electronic rifle to “hunt” animals in the African jungle.

Mystery Island Banana Train Ride Considered by many to Pacific Ocean Park’s best ride, passengers were treated to a trip aboard a tropical banana plantation train complete with a

simulated volcano and simulated earthquakes.

Sea Serpent Roller Coaster was a wooden, 1926 Hi-Boy roller coaster from the original pier.

Mahi Mahi was a massive tower with long arms that were turning around and people sat in something resembling a jet It sat 8 passengers.

Whirl Pool was a centrifuge that pinned riders to the walls as the floor slowly lowered beneath them.

Mr. Dolphin was another original pier attraction.

Flying Fish was a miniature roller coaster. It was the first steel mouse coaster design in the USA.

Carousel was the 1926-vintage carousel from the original pier.

Fisherman’s Cove and the International Promenade were shopping, dining and souvenir areas which featured a number of good, international restaurants.

King Neptunes Courtyard A beautiful walk under the ocean to view King Neptunes’ lair.

Mrs.Squid also known as “The Ahuna Thrill Ride” was a Dual Tub Octopus ride with a squid decor in the center. The ride had a total of 16 tubs each able to carry 2 adult passengers.

Brie interjects:

[I don’t remember P.O.P. being that nice! I remember it as being rather shabby and run-down, but still enjoyable!]

No mention of the Sea Tub ride!? James and I riding the sea tub in the dark.

I needed to urinate. So, I stood up during the dark ride, and unzpped. This inspired James to do the same,while the ride was bouncing around. We were laughing and I even got some of James urine in my face, but most of it went into the sea tub. When the ride ended, we took off running. From then on we

referred to the ride as “the pee tub.” At school James pointed out this rather plain looking tall girl,

saying he did it with her. He just had to obtain a condom from a gas station vending machine, and she would let him do it. He said she was sexy. I could see that.

The end [of P.O.P.]

Wikipedia again:

Santa Monica began its Ocean Park urban renewal project. Buildings in the surrounding area were demolished and streets leading to the park were closed. As a result, visitors simply

couldn’t reach the park and attendance plummeted.

The park’s creditors and the City of Santa Monica filed suit to take control of the property because of back taxes and back rent owed by the park’s new owner. Pacific Ocean Park closed.

The park’s dilapidated buildings and pier structure remained until several suspicious fires occurred and it was finally demolished in the winter of 1974-75.

Other than a few underwater pilings and signs warning of them, nothing remains of Pacific Ocean Park today. However, a few miles north, the original Santa Monica Pier does feature a newer amusement park, similarly called Pacific Park. Today, the rides and attractions of the Santa Monica Pier include the old Carousel that is featured prominently in the 1973 Academy Award -winning film, The Sting.

The final episode of the ABC television series “The Fugitive” was shot at Pacific Ocean Park. Filmed on location just prior to the park’s closure in the fall of 1967, the park’s “Mahi, Mahi”

ride tower was the setting for the dramatic face off between Dr. Richard Kimble (David Janssen) and the fictional one-armed man. The episode, broadcast on August 29 1967, was one of the highest rated in television history.

The episode of the Twilight Zone series titled “In Praise of Pip,” starring Jack Klugman and Billy Mumy, was also filmed there.

An episode of the series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was also filmed in the park.

The park was the setting of an episode of the television series Route 66 (Season 2, Episode 29 “Between Hello and Goodbye”) which aired May 11, 1962. Martin Milner’s character Tod is shown working at King Neptune’s Courtyard, and guest star Susan Oliver is depicted riding the Ocean Skyway.

“thirteen-year-old Bobby Fischer announced his first [chess] move to his opponent, Jack Collins: “Pawn to king four.”

Collins, a diminutively proportioned man whose stunted legs had left him unable to walk, was propelled in a wheelchair along the crowded New York City street”

“Walking next to Collins was his slightly younger sister, Ethel, a plump but pretty registered nurse who was almost always by his side. She adored her brother and gave up everything –even marriage–to care for him.”

“In this case Fischer was not only visualizing a game without benefit of board, pieces, or printed score; he was creating it, composing it as a motion picture in his mind.”

“witnessing two players competing without sight of a board can evoke astonishment.”

“Collllins was the co-author of the then latest edition of, Modern Chess Openings, which contained thousands of variations, positions, analyses, and recommendations.”

“It was humid, threatening to drizzle. Fischer had just returned from the U.S. Open Championship in Oklahoma City, the youngest player at thirteen, ever to compete in the event. Collins was former New York State Champion, a veteran tournament player, and a renowned teacher of the game. He was forty-four years old.”

“Fischer grudgingly agreed to a draw, then his mind immediately shifted to what awaited: his favorite Chinese meal of Egg Drop Soup, Chicken Chop Suey, and pistachio ice cream.”

(from “Endgame” by Frank Brady)

Brie interjects:

The Wasteland Years in Los Angeles

Bobby Fischer moved to South Pasadena not long after becoming world champion by defeating the entire, mighty, Soviet chess system!

Lived in someone’s basement on Mockingbird Lane for awhile. Whereupon moved to Orange Street in Los Angeles near Wilshire and Fairfax.

Existed on the royalties from his two books, and his mother’s social security checks sent by his lovely sister Joan.

Without the big bucks from the Philippines for playing Karpov of the Soviet Union, circumstances got gradually worse.

Occasional trips to Palo alto to visit his sister, who was married to a Stanford scientist, and a trip to Berkeley to visit with the current US champion, which ended in a bad way from Fischer running up the phone bill of his host.

Amazing how such a genius could devolve into failure.

Always low on money, wearing shabby clothes, without a car, and no romantic love!

Residing in downtown Los Angeles skid-row flop houses, while searching book stores for questionable reading material, and who knows whatever else occurred downtown!?.

Going into coffee shops with a shopping bag containing oranges, and a hand-cranked juicer to make his own fresh-squeezed orange juice for his breakfast.

Time to go back to the 32 pieces and 64 squares!

“He [Fischer] connected all this with the rage he still felt for the loss of personal effects he’d kept for years in a store room

[Bekins–Pasadena] in California, which had been sold at auction when the storage rent wasn’t paid.”

[“Storage Wars!”]

Walking on the boardwalk in Laguna Beach with “Twist & Shout” by the Eisley Brothers blaring from the loud speaker, an assistant life-guard- surfer-boy, wearing the short orange swim trunks that were issued, puffs out his chest better to knock me off the boardwalk. I’m not hurt from falling on the soft beach sand–just miffed! Welcome to Laguna stranger!

This is different from the San Fernando Valley. Watch out for the King’s Men of Arleta (gang)! They will get you! A friend of mine’s brother was a member, who liked the Coaster’s music: “yakity yak — don’t talk back!”

Getting back to Laguna Beach, swiped pop bottles from the back of a momma-poppa store, went into the front of the same store, and sold them for the deposits. The big bottles were worth a nickel each!

Had enough money to go to the theatre on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Artist (Ed) hung some paintings in our restaurant, which was next to the Brass Rail Bar, located on the east side of the coast highway. I loved his paintings! His best was some boys playing marbles –the expressions on their round faces –especially the eyes, and the marbles! Vincent Price (the actor) was supposed to be interested in his work. Price selected paintings for Sears, thereby bringing art to the middle class.

The video starts with Lexi Belle and the Elvis impersonator doing the really cute dance from the movie “Viva Las Vegas!” It was lovely. Lexi Belle did a really fantastic job as Ann Margret.

Scene from video “Pinafore”

*******************************************

Junior high days:

Mom had just split from her second husband, and we were living in an el schlocko apartment just across the street from the junk store “Trash and Treasures.” I was watching wrestling from the Olympic auditorium announced by Dick “whoa Nellie!” Lane, who wrestled with Hub furniture (joke –some Hub furniture stores back then –one on Sepevulda in the valley).

It was cowboy Bob Ellis’ birthday, and they brought in a large birthday cake with several burning candles on it, while the auditorium sang happy birthday, then the destroyer (Freddie Blassie beneath that mask?) darted into the ring, and flung the birthday cake up in the air, proceeding to dry gulch the cowboy! I was bouncing up and down yelling about the destroyer, causing a neighbor to yell “To hell with the destroyer! I’m trying to sleep!”

The girl

above the swimming pool evidently had a crush on me. Flirting with me every chance she got, but she was rather too young for me, really.

Once she came to my door. I’m not sure what either one of us might have said, if anything. For kicks I liked to put on mom’s clothes,

and go into the empty apartment next door, exploding with ecstasy, because I wasn’t supposed to be there doing that thing!

Perhaps the most profitable day of my life, and I didn’t even know it, occurred when I went into the aforementioned Trash and Treasures store,” noticing a shoe box full of baseball cards, and a retro girlie magazine,

which I shoved underneath my shirt as I was too young to purchase something like that. It was in a stack of magazines, and I’m thinking they didn’t even know it was there. So, I bought the shoebox full of baseball cards for a buck!

It contained Brooklyn Dodgers, and New York Giants cards before the teams moved to the west coast, among others. I am sure there was a Jackie Robinson in there. These would be in addition to the cards I already possessed: Mickey Mantle, Rodger Maris, Don Drysdale, Sandy “no hit” Koufax, etc.

I SHOULD HAVE HELD ONTO THE CARDS, keeping them in the safe deposit box in west Los Angeles, and selling them just before the economy started to tank–I could have retired!

Instead I got rid of the baseball (I have always been terrible at sports!) cards, thinking that the comic books (my first issue of spider man– not in the best condition, and recently during the Great Recession– just sold for $4K on “Pawn Stars”), and coins were the way to go, but when the economy tanked in the early 1980’s I sold them for peanuts.

Speaking of junior high, Linda

(“no tears, no fears, no ruined years, no clocks”—JIM) now sneering at me, whereas she used to flirt with me.

What was going on at Melody Ranch?

Gene Autry and the boys liked to take 25 year old women, and have them play 16 year old teenagers, while dressing them as 12 year old girls!!!!!

For instance in one movie Patsy Montana

portrayed a girl on her sixteenth birthday. So the cowboys each got to spank her 16 times!

Other times precious Mary Lee

was also required to dress as a 12 year old, while toting a doll!!!

However, both of these gals could sing beautifully in duets with Gene.

From another blog:

“I’m amazed that they even exist. They’re printed books, each with a happy, colorful cover, that transform real-life celebrities into characters in a book!

Nearly 60 years ago, a magical thing happened to Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Betty Grable, and Annette Funicello. Each of them turned up in their own fictitious adventures in a series of Hollywood-themed books!”

and of course, not nearly as long ago, Patty Duke:

Coming in early 2014, a 500 page illustrated manuscript available to the public:

Candy Barr

(July 6, 1935 – December 30, 2005) was an American stripper, burlesque exotic dancer, actress in one pornographic movie,

and model in men’s magazines of the mid-20th century.

During the 1950s, she received nationwide attention for her stripping career in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas; her troubles with the law; shooting her estranged second husband; and being arrested and sentenced to a prison term for drug possession, as well as her relationships with Mickey Cohen and Jack Ruby.

After serving three years in prison, Barr

began a new life in South Texas. She briefly returned to stripping in the late 1960s, posed for Oui magazine in the 1970s, and then retired.

***************************************************

Reading “All Quiet on the Western Front” during the

Tet Offensive.

The book was assigned by Mrs. N.

a wonderful English teacher.

Subsequently,

Chuck came by to check on the progress of the 6 inchers and the 9 inchers (low explosives).

Chuck worked various jobs and had over a thousand bucks in the bank!

One time Chuck came over and we watched “The Smothers Brothers” on the black & white television,

while he wolfed down his KFC chicken dinner not offering me any.

After being up really late at night delivering 6 inchers and 9 inchers, I would make sure I would show up in class the next day no matter how exhausted to avert suspicion.

The “Man from Uncle” exploding pellets weren’t any good, since the iodine crystals needed ammonia from a chemical supply house rather than just household ammonia from the supermarket,

whereas the 6 inchers and 9 inchers were awesome beyond belief.

Two rolls of toilet paper fit over a 9 incher with the water proof guta percha fuse protruding from the middle. This made quite a mess when exploded:

“My yard was a disgrace!”

I would spend summers downstairs in the garage unit, and winters upstairs, while studying math, physics, and chemistry, trying to make something of myself.

Would get off wearing mom’s panties, and nylons

Peep Show

decided to lift her dress, enabling the cool air from the air conditioner better access. Suddenly, the driver of a big-rig truck from the other direction in the opposite lane toots his horn in appreciation for the free peep show!

From the back seat I could only see the dress being lifted up and some of the nylon clad legs.

Continuing on to the Maricopa Highway, to converge on Highway 99, over the grapevine, pass the amazing LA Aqueduct, and then on to mighty Los Angeles!

The land north of Los Angeles county used to be desert until the advent of the California Water Project –now there are rutabagas and other such stuff growing.

Recently, discovered a fairly new TV series called “Bomb Girls,”

which is about a group of women

working in a bomb factory during WWII. Outstanding! Might possibly be as good as “Mad Men.”

HAWTHORNE:

Her future is anybody’s guess.Built at Imperial Highway and Hawthorne Boulevard in the 1950s by reputed Mafia associate Andrew Lococo, Hawthorne’s Cockatoo Inn

to Room 200 for a discreet rendezvous.

Its fortunes began to decline in the 1990s, when the recession decimated the aerospace industry and surrounding neighborhoods deteriorated. Hawthorne sued the Cockatoo in 1991 for $109,000 in unpaid bed taxes, and the owners declared bankruptcy the next year.”
