Actor Michael Ansara has died at age 91. I have no idea what he did, other than to play Klingon Commander Kang in the original series episode, "The Day of the Dove." That's the episode when an alien that feeds on anger manipulates the crew of a Klingon ship onto the Enterprise, and replaces all of the weapons with swords. One of my favorites.
When I was a kid he played Cochise in the TV show Broken Arrow. He played a lot of ethnic roles very well.
Art Donovan, hall of fame football player who played for the Baltimore Colts passed today. "The only weight I ever lifted weighed 24 ounces. It was a Schlitz. I always replaced my fluids." Art Donovan Hearing Schlitz reminds me of my dad drinking Falstaff.
As long as we've derailed, the talk about beer brands from the olden days of yore reminds me of attending Saints games in Tulane Stadium. The beer vendors who walked the aisles would wear these portable kegs strapped to their backs. Big, white and roughly rectangular, the made the vendors look like astronauts walking around the stadium.
I'd be surprised if it was Old Style, not a terrible beer but I always thought this stuff sort of hung around the mid-west. I know I had never even heard about it until I was in the military and far away from the the borders of Louisiana.
