@sdbnyc56 Me too! It's one of the funniest episodes not only of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, but of any TV show. So many brilliant lines. Ted's "Hey, Lou. He stole your poem!" kills me every time.
"Chuckles the Clown is dead. It was a freak accident. He went to the parade dressed as Peter Peanut and a rogue elephant tried to shell him." - Lou Grant in THE MARY TYLER MOORE episode "Chuckles Bites the Dust"
Execution by elephant, or Gunga Rao, was a method of capital punishment in South and Southeast Asia, particularly in India, where Asian elephants were used to crush, dismember, or torture captives during public executions.

(Now, I’ll have Shirley Bassey singing that Bond song in my head all day! That’s not a complaint, that’s a thank you!Any day with Ms. Bassey belting non-stop in my mind is my kinda day!)
BATMAN was released 36 years ago today. One of the earliest classic superhero movies, and among the most popular of director Tim Burton. The story of how it came to the big screen will have you dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight…

In North Dakota this week, a hunter narrowly escaped death when a pocketknife in his breast pocket deflected a bullet shot by another hunter.
Man, you know we have too many weapons in this country when people are getting SHOT in the KNIFE.
@DrPopCultureUSA THE LAST OF SHEILA. Love this movie. What’s not to like when the screenplay is written by Anthony Perkins and Stephen friggin’ Sondheim!
It would have been the 100th birthday of the singular Elaine Stritch, who demonstrated that being salty was the best preservative. At 77, she brought her musical memoir "At Liberty" to Broadway, showing why Ethel Merman said (5 decades earlier), "Stritch's glands work overtime."
Reminds me of something my father told my brother and me one night years ago when we started to leave our chairs in a restaurant.
He sternly shouted, “Sit your ass down! This is a restaurant, not a goddamn jungle gym!”
‘Nuff said.
Can someone make a #Superman movie and cast an actual bald man as #LexLuthor? Just once! Please!!!
Evil takes root in the tragedy of losing your hair, not from shaving off your full head of hair or wearing a bald cap!
Ask Jada Pinkett Smith. I’m sure she’ll back me up on this.
I want to tell you a story about food that I've never told anyone before - because I've been ashamed, for 30+ years.
When I was 25, living in Duluth, MN, married to a helpless shapeshifting addict & mother to 2 little boys, I started some mac & cheese for dinner one night. 🧵
