I met Bruce Lee’s vegetarian brother today.
His name is Brocko Lee.
I don't make puns.
And don't call me surely.
It makes him surly.:rolleyes:Quote:

Sounds like you're related to "Slip" Mahoney. Must be a west coast cousin.
Can't say I get that reference.
Yeah, I figured the leader of "The Bowery Boys" series from the 50's would be a bit obscure (although perhaps age appropriate).
His character was known for his malapropism, which the phrase "cumulous knowledge" certainly sounds like something he would say and "cirrus-ly" might be considered an example of a malaprop, although that could be a stretch.
I wasn't around in the 50's, and I didn't have a TV until...well, I still don't have one, so we'll see.
Well, if you were really curious, I'm sure episodes could be found on-line, but I don't know that it would be worth the effort.
For some reason, I figured you were a bit older than I, but then I wasn't around for most of the 50's either.
In my case, I've really only seen them because of the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) channel. I donate platelets every couple of weeks which means sitting / lying on a recliner type chair at the local redcross donation center for a bit more than two hours every other Saturday. I don't like commercials, so I put up with watching old movies on TCM during that time that I'm immobilized.
As an alternative, the redcross have a bunch of movies on DVDs that I could choose from, but that just seems like too much work, so I settle for watching the "classics". They did start going through a long series of Tarzan movies, and after a number of weeks of that, it was too much and so I moved on to another network for awhile, but the Tarzan period is over, so I'm back.
Wouldn't have seen them otherwise, as I don't care to watch TV at home, and didn't have one in the house myself, until I got married.
Though the thought of not ever watching TV seems strange to me, I've heard it enough times that it doesn't surprise me. To each his own. But what I find bizarre is people that watch TV/Movies on their phones/Tablets/Laptops. To my grandkids this is just normal. I'm old school, 65", surround sound, recliner and beverage.
April 2 1604 was the date of the initial precedent put into practice by Parliament during the speakership of Sir Edward Phelips (and which is now part of Erskine May [the UK parliamentary rule book]) which the then Speaker Bercow cited during 2019 for refusing to allow more than one vote on essentially the same Brexit motion in the same parliamentary session.
That's a good point. Everybody should know that.
as useless information for quizzes :cool:
