Crossing railroad tracks to pick some zinnias...

@Ugoretz77 (By the way, I gain nothing from the sale of these items -- but I *do* want them to end up in deserving homes and hands. I want them to go to people who will love and appreciate them the way Ricky did.)

Another reminder that there will be another auction of items from the Ricky Jay Collection this Saturday morning, Oct 28, at Potter & Potter Auctions in Chicago. Here's an article! https://t.co/dU8AliZQJ9

@Ugoretz77 You have to see them in person, Ugo. Seriously. They're so good. They would look fantastic in your house, and they would make you happy every time you looked at them. That's the great unspoken truth here: these items inspire delight!

Show time! Circus time! This Saturday (Oct. 28) brings the 2nd of Potter & Potter's auctions of items from The Ricky Jay Collection. So many treasures, several of which are truly unique gems of scholarship and/or historical importance. Also just fun stuff! https://t.co/6w1xLR0Z8X

“Why, naturally. I was backstage and Charlie Weaver saw me going for the last bowl of pasta salad, and well…”

Barbie Oppenheimer is not only a cinematic phenomenon but also an eternal light member of the local Hadassah.

They really should have re-branded the Warner Brothers Discovery streaming service as SLURRY. Catchier! And honester!

Hey, "classic" films don't have to be old or directed by Leo McCarey or feature Franklin Pangborn. Some "classics" are only a few years old! And what makes something a "movie," anyway? TV shows can be cinematic. In conclusion, welcome to the TCM lineup, "Outback Opal Hunters"!

@MrCraigBierko @AndyKindler “The List is Laffs!”

@SankaCoffee Q: Do they have to be in the original “store bought” jars or can I bring them in a bag or bucket? They are from different “batches” over the years but I don’t think you can tell when they’re all mixed in together. Please advise!

[Dan Chariton @DanChariton]

@SethMSherwood Only works because of the crowd element. If I were picketing alone it would be a Don Martin drawing, and it would end with me suffering some sort of physical deformity (broken spine, tongue extension). (Hi Seth!)

[Dan Chariton @DanChariton]

What I like most about picketing is it lets me act out a childhood fantasy of being in a Sergio Aragonés drawing.

@MeredthSalenger Aww, it's like Matthew Perry and Ted are kissing...

@StevenEdeSouza @abrahamjoseph And of course the original line reading credited to Lantzman Larry Storch.

[Dan Chariton @DanChariton]

@mangiotto Yes! And team it with his TOM, DICK AND HARRY for another fun, sharp bit of social satire.

@benschwartz_ When I look at this, all I can think about are those chapters in Sunday Nights At Seven when he’s passive-aggressively lamenting Mary’s spending. And then, of course, that jewelry “deal” with George Burns…
