“The fat kid got lucky.”
But evidently it’s not lucky to be 71 today; both departed ones reached the age of four score and 11, and punched out. Gone is Shirley Horn, a remarkable jazz vocalist and superb pianist (before she lost a leg to complications of diabetes). Wonder if she might hook up for a duo with Luther Vandeross
? Also moved on is Gordon Lee who played Spanky’s little fat brother in “The Little Rascals.” Wonder if he’ll reunite with Tommy Bond (“Butch”) whose death we ODDones reported on September 26.
Okay, so here’s an ODDassociation from “the achieves of totally-useless-information-unless-you’re-entered-in-some-sort-of- trivia-bowl
-or-want-to-be-particularly-irritating-at-a-cocktail-party.” Gordon Lee’s “Little Rascal’s” character was named “Porky.” What 1970’s porno flick inspired the notorious shower scene in the amazingly raunchy, and now “classic” movie (now that’s ODD), “Porky’s?”
Bear with us folks, the ODDfellows have a bit of a thermonuclear head cold, and we’re alternating looking into a big white light and hovering above our own body
.
Okay, here’s the answer: Debbie Does Dallas
. Everyone hold up their hands who has seen the movie—you sir, in the back, are you really sure you haven’t seen it? Tell the truth now. We have your video rental records

No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
but I had to learn that all you give is all you get
so give it all you got
