Only 150 days until summer
Ralph Edwards is dead at age 92 years. A good run for a man who conceived and hosted two radio/TV shows which, when you think about their titles, pretty much summarizes the instruction manual we might be handled upon start-up: “This is your life—truth or consequences.” (“and” may be substituted for “or” as an aftermarket feature.) We ODDones bet a cookie that Edwards’ obituary was the first and only time Merino, Colorado has been mentioned in the New York Times.
Okay, we’re going to lay off New York Times obituary editors and Baptist preachers (how’s that for an ODDcouple?), and issue to our ODDfollowers an ALL POINTS BULLETIN. One of your brethren asks: “wondered if you could find out something for me. Peter Caffrey , Irish Actor, co-stared in the first five seasons of Ballykissangel had to leave the show in 2000 due to throat cancer. I have not found anything on him since. I have tried to find out through his agents, fan clubs, and get no response. His on-line bio only shows a filography, and I have found little else. Could you find out if he is indeed still with us?” Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?
Congrats to those of you that correctly answered yesterdays softball “’Son of a preacher man’ was featured in what movie that would curl the toenails of Southern Baptist preacher?” Answer, Pulp Fiction
.
Long live Dick Dale .
Is that “Beulah the Buzzer” we hear?

Hey, no. Nary a peep, visual, hallucination or seance vibe. We’ve no doubt Mr. Caffrey will appear one day even if it tis only in the Obits….
