The O-Files

-
I would like to take the time to plug a part of my website that is not full of holes. The O-Files hopes to track the life and times of one elusive guy- Fred. I went to college with Fred, sang with him, ate with him, traveled with him. We were both writers of some breed. He was a much more brooding and masterful poet. I was a bombastic ham with serio-comic tendencies. He came to my 21st birthday assemblage. However, we both were beleaguered playwrights. Probably still are.
So why mention this? Recently I have tracked him down- in an elusive manner of course. I like spy games and have become adept at using google. From time to time I would seek out lost ones by doing a search on them and sifting through data. Well, one day many months ago I searched for Fred- I came up with nothing. Then I recalled some things close to his heart - Happy Moose and Sullen Fish. These guys were the feature characters in a comic strip Fred illustrated for the University of Minnesota, Morris' newpaper The Register.
First Happy Moose- nothing.
Then Sullen Fish- I found a paper trail. It lead me right to Fred's own blog. Now if that isn't odd- it ends up we work for the same behemoth. Small world.
You know I wish that Happy Moose comic strip was put online.

So there was this zombie party

It was a quiet weekend up here. Well, maybe. Depends on how you appreciated the sound of moaning zombies all over. They can be rather noisome. Fortunately there are guys like McGjervold who can take out a dozen or so of the troublesome undead minions. Went to a party and sure enough, there they were- zombies. Real crazy looking zombies.  And there was the food too. I sampled the fare before I called in McGjervold to clear out the joint with his array of weapons and zombie whooping devices. McGjervold doesn't back down to zombies or their ilk. Afterword we played pool.

Back to 50s photos: Pontiac Chieftain

-
Image
I n its earlier days, Pontiac featured a Native American on its logo. It may have just been a representation of the famous chief himself, Pontiac although no authentic images of him are known to exist. In the center background you may be able to see a Pontiac Chieftain under a large tree. Pontiac ceased production of the car sometime in the late 1950s. In 1956 they also changed their trademark from the Indian head dress to something more akin to an arrowhead.

Gumby, Google, Clokey and Hastings. Oh My!

-

This title sounds like a band from the 70s. However, Google has a great interactive doodle today in honor of Art Clokey , creator of green guy Gumby. Clokey would have been 90 today, but he passed away last year. But did you know that the Gumby came from my hometown of Hastings, MN! Indeed I thought this odd too when I saw this fact on a map of Hastings that has hung in the family home for years. Clokey was Californian and seemed to have no connections wtih the North Star State, so I thought this incredulous. I did a little digging and then found my answer in an article in the Star Tribune from October 20th, 2003.  Dick Parker and Heron Marquez Estrada did a the hard work and re-discovered that Echo Plastics of Hastings manufactured millions of Gumby and Pokey toys up to about 1971. So I guess Minnesota can claim the green guy and his red pony after all. Perhaps the state quarter would have been more collectible if it had Gumby and Pokey on it. [I did find a possible Minnesota
